Trump cancelled TPP day one of his presidency, that handed China the area no repercussions and it was also the ultimate gift for Russia. TPP hasn't been replaced with nothing from the USA to slow China significantly so basically USA just needs to get the fuckout now and let China progress.

Exactly this.
China's moves in the Pacific and their new "island base" was started before Trump. Then Trump took office and walked away from the TTP giving China and Russia a huge win.
