Parsing Trump’s China policy – and China’s likely response. 

Gauging the reactions from both the Chinese public and the government to Donald Trump’s return to the White House. 

Officially, China has no preference in the U.S. presidential race. But both analysts and social media are increasingly rooting for Trump. Here’s why.

Donald Trump, like every other president, has his own policies and priorities. Unlike presidents before him, Trump is not worried about hurting Beijing’s feelings in the process.

China has not emerged as a key issue in this campaign cycle, due to both policy convergence and a focus on domestic issues.
