I disagree that that there was anything amicable during Biden years. Biden picked up exactly where Trump left off before him and he escalated tensions with stuff like CHIPS act, ban on Chinese EVs and so on. There's been a continuation of policy here across administration since Obama's pivot to Asia when the US decided that China was the main adversary. Things have been steadily escalating, and now they're entering into an openly hostile territory.

Trump was the president before Biden. But also, Biden and Xi were meeting, talking, there's several videos of it. Both sides agreed they were on good terms and this whole sanction and blacklist wasn't the focus of communications/relations.

So I think there was far less chances of war under other leaders (as my comment was saying). Judging from your last sentence you agree the chances of open hostility is far greater under Trump, but you have a strange was of saying it.
