Isn't the more relevant thing capable of reaching China?
Rapprochement with Russia was the one good thing I hoped would come out of a Trump administration that wouldn't have been expected from any GOP administration. Never happened -- I think derailing it was the real reason behind the obsession with non-existent "Russian collusion".
Realistically we should be trying to divide Russia and China with a view, if not to allying with Russia against China in a formal sense, at least having Russia help in restraining China, or sitting on the side-lines while an alliance of us and all the other encircling powers (India, Vietnam, Australia, Taiwan, South Korea and Japan and maybe some the "Stans") push back.
