Why would they want to eliminate their best customers?
Doesn't make sense does it? On the other hand, their generals brag about how they can blow up any American city anytime they like with that missile guidance technology that they developed that just happens to be identical in every respect to our own. They've threatened to invade Taiwan. Their ally has threatened to start a nuclear war on the Korean penninsula, and has launched ICBMs over Japan.
They do a lot of things that don't seem particularly logical.
I wouldn't worry if China's ruling Cadre simply saw things that simply, and that true, but their actions would appear they do not.
