Russia is a dangerous and hostile power that meddled in the U.S. election. It's worth remembering that Russian lifespans dropped radically after Larry Summers and Bill Clinton's neoliberal boys went over to help the USSR transition to capitalism. Russia is mad at us for a reason.
The Chinese however have no reason for hostility to the U.S., which has historically been a good friend. China's increasing dangerous posture is purely a result of Wall Street's recklessness, bad policy from Clinton to Obama (and now Trump), and its own autocratic government.
Trump's power is based an exploitation of our own unwillingness to fix the flaws of the international trading and security system. Germany doesn't pay its fair share for NATO, it is deeply protectionist, and so forth. "Tear it all down" is bad, but the status quo is also bad.
This is why the weakness of the Bush and Obama years was so destructive. Failing to fix a system, or even recognize the flaws, leaves that system open to exploitation. Not using power when granted democratic authority to do so destroys democracy.
