• Chinese officials say a Trump reelection in November works for China because he is "destroying US alliances," Bloomberg reported. 
• By going it alone, the US has less power to keep China in check, the officials said.
• A former Chinese trade negotiator told Bloomberg: "If Biden is elected, I think this could be more dangerous for China, because he will work with allies to target China, whereas Trump is destroying US alliances."
• Trump has alienated longtime allies France, Germany, Canada, and the UK over the last year. 
• Another official said the impact of widespread Black Lives Matter protests and the coronavirus outbreak may weaken the US irrevocably from the inside out.
