Yes. Consider:
Mao turns inwards, largely, puts China through hell. Sure, in Vietnam and Korea he arms the other side, but outside of SE Asia not a force, and not really a trading partner of consequence to the USA.
Xi is a competitor to the US in the global arena as well as domestically. We have to tax ourselves to make Chinese products cost more here.
Arguably the American working man was better off when Maoists were still screwing things up royally in China.
If someone doesn't feel like being deep about it, then how about this instead: one US President has gone out of his way to heap praise on the DPRK's ruling Kim, who presides over the last old school Stalinist state in the world.
