President Donald Trump is having one big success in what is clearly a campaign to distract from Covid-19's impact on his floundering reelection campaign. Somehow, he's managed to cobble together a coalition-of-the-willing -- nations prepared to follow him over the cliff and participate in a burgeoning anti-China alliance.

China has become increasingly expansionist -- in trade warfare, propaganda and military exercises. Accusations have ricocheted around the globe.
