Realistically, while Trump might be more outwardly “anti-china”, he’s also anti-america, so it’s a net gain for them.
But he's not just outwardly anti China, he is actually anti China - judging by actions not words! - the tariffs he imposed and the trade war he started.
china is playing the long game here.
Trump is most likely to completely destabilize the US, at which point there goes any US support for Taiwan. Which probably means they can roll Taiwan without foreign interference.
Trump's economic stances are fucking stupid and don't hurt China at all.
Trump wants to pull the US out of NATO and weaken our alliance with our allies like he did in his first term.
Trump also hamstrung our government so they got even less done than normal.
Not to mention Trump would abandon Ukraine allowing Russia to steamroll them.
These are just a few of the benefits they get from Trump. There are many more.
Yep. And all you have to do is stroke his ego, and he will give you the US.
The tariffs that U.S. citizens pay while the rest of the world doesn't? I'm not sure that hurts China in the longterm.
It does, because the US is moving much of its manufacturing away from China. That’s a shit ton of lost revenue.
The rest of the world is quickly stepping into the 21st century and China is ready to manufacture whatever they need.
