This is now becoming pretty overtly a zero-sum fight to the finish as the dragon and bear react to the eagle and bull-dog as bridges are burned and positions hardened.
This does not bode well for the global economy excepting weapons and related military goods manufacture.

Biden admin quickly becoming “Trump lite”....
Why the abandonment if they won by such a landslide? Hmmmmmm.....
the US elites have decided that the US and China-Russia-Iran cannot co-exist one one planet and that the window of opportunity to dominate is closing. The is zero-sum chiefly from the US side, i.e, the Wolfowitz Doctrine of US global dominance. The other side is pushing multipolarism and spheres of influence but the US is fixed on maintaining and extending unipolarism.
This involves weakening them economically and depriving them of resources and allies, and isolating them initially, and then launching a first strike kill shot if it comes to that. But it would be preferable to provoke regime change, which would leave everything standing and avoid possible nuclear confrontation.
This is not a new strategy. It began with in the Imperial Age and Western dominance. The US is the inheritor of the British Empire post-WWII, which it extended through neoliberalism, neo-imperialism and neocolonialism.
I have written pretty extensively on this over the years here, so regular readers should be familiar with the documentation.
Wolfowitz doctrine = suicide
