China’s Reactions to US Belligerence under Trump

Main question: How has China reacted, both “on paper” (diplomatically) and in practice (strategically), to recent US belligerence in Greenland, Venezuela and Iran?
Argument: The recent international political upheaval many might have thought would benefit China’s own ambitions, but this has not been as clear-cut as it seemed.
Conclusion: Instead of expanding its own hard power and ambition through force and coercion, China has shown signs of wishing to be the new leader of a peace-desiring.
