Also, if Trump can successfully cozy up with Putin, he will have an additional market besides Tiongland, albeit not as comparable in economic wealth. So, the ball is now in Trump's court. The Chinks are actually sitting lame ducks. What can they do except to wait for Trump's actions after he gets into the White House.
I think this is the most probable scenario. These 2 superpowers need to contain China which is already surpassing them economically and they would not like to share power with a 3rd one. Hope their actions are not too drastic that can lead to WW3.
