You do not need a new passport. China is the third biggest trade partner of the USA next to Canada and the European Union. China is the country which sends the 7th largest number of tourists to the USA. The Chinese even have visa with 10 year validity specifically for Americans. Despite the bombast in political rhetoric, they essentially are joined at the hip economically.
A German tourist with a China visa and stamp in his passport will not face ANY problems (related to your stated concerns) when visiting the USA.
Per Department of Homeland Security:
The United States requires that travelers entering the United States
under the Visa Waiver Program have an e-Passport if their passport was
issued on or after October 26, 2006.
