The problem with China's "wolf warrior" diplomacy is that it was meant for its domestic audience at home, to boost nationalism by showing China can stand up to diplomatic or verbal attacks. But the issue is, it has unintended consequences for other countries in worsening China's image. China may have meant these tough messages for home viewing, but on the international stage, it is also directed at all other countries, whether China wants it or not. So the net effect is that China's image is worsening dramatically, regardless of Trump's verbal attacks.
Maybe at this point China doesn't care what the rest of the world thinks. Ok, but in that event Beijing should not be shock if its cooperative gestures are brush aside or ignored by the rest of the world.
