> And most importantly, large & impactful countries like US and China shouldn't waste their time on petty issues like trade-war & focus on big issue here!

Not really. The attention span of the people with the legitimacy to push through painful reforms is limited. The bureaucracy is just people doing their job. If there's no pressure from above they will take the path of least resistance and minimize personal risk, i.e. keep the status quo and cover their asses.
