China has a stronger economy, more potential for growth, and has the chance with increased wealth to move away from an authoritarian state. Russia has increased its authoritarianism, has become more closely aligned with Iran, and is opposed to the US geopolitically (not to say that China isn't as well). I'd rather work with China.

Well we have been working with China and it seems that means corporate espionage, infringing on our American made products, currency manipulation et all.

But Chinese economic policy is having more of a negative effect on the American economy than Russian economic policy is. I don't mind Trump ratcheting up leverage to get China to level the playing field, but there will be some bumps and bruises along the way while he forces/finds a new equilibrium with the Chinese.

I still think China retaliates by letting North Korea more off the leash. Don't be surprised to see more overt provocation from Lil Kim due to tacit Chinese approval of such as layback for Trump tightening the screws on them. China can't afford a direct confrontation with the US, so they'll use their best proxy.
