Is it because the lag in understanding of China prevented the United States and the West from forming a consensus and gave China more time to rise?

Sometimes I think about a question, why the United States did not start a big trade war with China until 2018, and send a bunch of Chinese companies to the entity list? Don’t the Americans realize it’s a bit late?

This is a puzzling question. Why didn’t the United States start earlier?

For an organization, the longest phase is the "consensus formation" phase, because everyone in the organization has different perceptions.

China Explained will show you that because of China’s continued success in industrial upgrading, technological innovation and realizing its huge potential, it is an unstoppable process. The inevitable rise of China may feel intimidating and some simply reject it. Don’t be. China’s rise is part of the new global trend unlike what we have seen in the past one hundred years. Embrace the change and seize the opportunity.
