IMO, you would be mistaken if you view the positions of American allies (Germany, Canada, Australia, Japan, UK, etc.) here as client states simply falling in line with their master's opinion. Though the USA is certainly influential on them.

Whether justified or not, the recent hardening of anti-Chinese-government positions from these countries seem to be largely independent actions, based on their own evaluations of their geopolitical security situation, which come to similar conclusions as the USA. In the case of Australia and Japan and Korea in particular, the current hard line taken actually predates the mid-2010s shift in America.
