Only problem being that US economy is heavily dependent on China, and you can't bully China without them hurting you back.

US citizens aren't that smart.

Sure, but their opinions don't matter since US is an oligarchy. On the other hand, the ruling class is pretty divided on China since a lot of them have a lot of investments there. I highly doubt that US would be in position to take any kind of coordinated action against China in practice.
