The trade war...
It was a losing tactic when Trump started it, and the establishment hated Trump, so why is there a problem with the US trade deficit?

The election of Biden was supposed to signal the end of 'economic nationalism'.

China threatens to Nuke Australia. That's new and fresh. Previously, Chinese leadership avoided direct discussion of nuclear deterrent and instead simply behaved with the unspoken assumption that was always an option.

China threatens to Nuke Australia

Nothing about nukes while conventional is mentioned.

Moreover, the Global Times is not "China." The article is an op/ed by the editor-in-chief of the Global Times, which is state-sponsored but not an official organ of the state.
