Whack and cripple the bloody Americans give them a taste of their own medicines.
Opium Trade was Big Business for Americans
Also, it wasn’t just England involved; many Americans in New England also made their fortunes in the opium trade after the slave trade was outlawed. For example, Franklin Roosevelt’s grandfather, Delano, made most of the family fortune in the Chinese opium trade.
He was not alone. Many of the wealthy New England families built their fortunes on slave and opium trading. In fact, most of the American Ivy League universities were funded to a great degree when dirty money from the slave and opium trade was washed and then use to build new reputations for these families.
For example, John Cleve Green donated much of his opium profits to Princeton University, Abiel Abbott Low used his opium fortune to finance the construction of Colombia University, John Murray Forbes financed the Bell Telephone Company, Joseph Coolidge’s son organized the United Fruit Company and his grandson was the founding executive officer of the Anglo-American Council on Foreign Relations. This is just the tip of the iceberg in showing how many among the power elite made their fortunes with the China opium trade.
The Roosevelt Family, Opium and China Legacy
Franklin Roosevelt was born into the elite lifestyle of a family of wealth and privilege in Hyde Park, New York, with major financial interests in railroads. Most of the real family wealth, however, had been made earlier by Roosevelt’s grandfather, Delano, in his involvement with the opium trade in China.

There may be trouble from other sources, but China and US will not fight each other, they both want each other's market. They both have too much to lose if they fight each other, and there is no quarrel between them. There will be occasional issues for both to cater to their nationalistic sentiments and appease the home crowd, but apart from these events, it is business as usual.
Cheers!
