While Trump will use a unilateral and exhausting method to attack…Unpredictable“How and when you go back and forth.
Looking back from the past Xi might look at Trump and say, “Nice to meet you” A little more than Biden
But in either case, China will expect the next American leader to violate its basic interests as little as possible. Especially in the case of Taiwan
No one really knows what Xi Jinping is thinking. But some analysts believe the Chinese leader may be leaning slightly toward Mr. Trump.
This is especially true in light of China's past experience with the two American leaders.
Hong Kong analyst Yang Khun believes China may lean toward Trump because he may push Europe and the United States further apart.
China wants to tempt Europe to link to it instead of linking it to the United States, as Biden tried to do.
In this case, Biden's relationship with the European Union is likely to be better than Trump's.
But in either case, what China essentially expects from the next American leader boils down to a number of issues. This is considered “Red line” No passing
Especially the idea of Taiwan independence.
China accuses Washington of trying to hinder China's growth. This has put the relationship between the two countries in a state of constant tension.
One sign that we are increasingly suspicious of each other and could lead to controversy in the US election campaign is TikTok.
When the US House of Representatives passed a bill that would ban this popular app if owner Bytedance did not sell its shares within six months, China responded strongly.
He reiterated that he will protect the interests of Chinese companies abroad to the best of his ability.
Americans must choose between the two matters “old man” The two are Biden (81 years old) and Trump (77 years old), respectively.
About 39% of registered voters in a week-long Reuters/Ipsos poll that concluded on March 13 said they would vote for Biden. If the elections were held today
This compares to the 38 percent who voted for Mr. Trump. The survey included nearly 3,300 American adults, which must be considered a very close match. They will continue to chase each other closely in this way until polling day in November this year.
It is believed that of all the world leaders, Xi Jinping is perhaps one of the people who is following this news closely.
When Trump was in the White House from 2017 to 2021, the start seemed relatively smooth. There were direct meetings in both the United States and China, but not for long. Trump and Xi have stopped speaking to each other in person.
Trump accused Beijing of unfair trade practices.
Ultimately, Trump ordered additional tariffs on Chinese goods worth about $550 billion. This was followed by heated arguments on both sides. This affects consumers and businesses inside and outside the world's two leading economies.
The effects continue to this day.
It must be recognized that Trump has changed the course and direction of relations between the United States and China to a very competitive relationship, and the risks have increased significantly.
It is this structural situation of the relationship between the two superpowers that has created tensions around the world.
When Biden won the election, there was an expectation that he would reverse many of Trump's policies when he took office in 2021.
But additional tariffs imposed by the US government on most Chinese goods remain in place.
Not only that, US leaders have also imposed export controls on advanced semiconductors and chipmaking equipment to China. It also encourages US allies to take similar actions.
China was initially optimistic that Biden would help repair trade relations between the two countries. Some tariffs may be reduced under Trump.
But in the end, it is clear that China is the same whether it is Biden or Trump. America views China negatively in any case.
Indeed, Chinese leaders have concluded that both Republicans and Democrats have similar positions on China.
Biden declared that the United States is in a position to “Winning the competition of the century. 21 With China or anyone else.” Meanwhile, Trump has vowed to tighten taxes again if elected.
In a scene like this, it doesn't matter who enters the Oval Office of the White House. The administration's goal will be to exercise control over China. The difference lies in how it is implemented.
There is a possibility that if re-elected Biden will attempt to further isolate China from global high-tech supply chains.
It is equivalent to continuing to pressure China.
