Not exactly accurate. The US is not only sticking a knife in itself, it is also sticking an even bigger one in Europe. Europe meanwhile is basically saying thank you to the US for doing this, and even helping them by adding another knife in themselves.
I was gonna say, Europe already committed economic seppuku three years ago at the behest of the US.
And why is China looking angry? The US basically just pushed the entirety of Asia towards BRICS and stronger economic relations with China.
I read their expression as a mix of confusion and disgust rather than anger.
Also, China has been constantly warning both the Europeans and the Americans that their actions are self-destructive. Of course Westerners always think they know better, or they think that China is just for some reason trying to trick or manipulate them. So they keep digging their own hole deeper.
