What the (((liberals))) want: globo homo socialism
From their point of view, there are several strategic benefits of courting China:
A strong China would support their socialist narrative, making it easier to push socialist agenda AT HOME in the West. We all know there is severe institutional friction to institutionalizing socialism here in US, which has always been widely touted as the bastion of capitalism ever since the age of red scare and McCarthyism. The liberals hope that a strong China would buff their narrative enough to overcome such friction.
Playing the "China card" against Russia, Iran, and Turkey like Nixon did. We all know that after the collapse of USSR in 1991 and the sanctions/embargos on Iran and Russia, these two countries' economies would have collapsed a LONG TIME ago if not for trade with China. By swaying China away from them, the 5 eyes would achieve total victory in no time by subverting the coaliation from within.
Letting China drop its guard and opening up opportunities for infiltration, turning China into the next globo homo paradise like Amurica.
So yes, from (((their))) perspective, courting China is the one stone that would kill several birds. However, if we are smart, we can use this against them instead and make them lower their guard and FINALLY RECOVER THE GODDAMN TAIWAN AND **** TSAI ING-WEN.
