China has been on a downturn for a number of years as domestic conditions in China continue to deteriorate.
Per Gordon Chang, the Chinese military are getting more dangerous. Xi has little to no control over the military. It's in Xi's own, personal interest to start a war because that would thwart his domestic enemies.
Trump's tariffs will hurt China's revenue in exports to the U.S. and help to defund Xi's out of control military as well as Xi's own plans to start a war.
Here are some supporting quotes from the jump link provided to the source.
"Domestic conditions in China will deteriorate across the board regardless of fluctuations in external conditions. "
"The return of Donald Trump to the White House could usher in a Sino-U.S. “trade war 2.0,” continued technology restrictions, and other developments that would prove detrimental to the CCP regime. "
"Political rumors about Xi “losing power” or facing serious threats to his authority will likely continue to circulate in overseas Chinese-speaking circles and even in the Western media."
