Trump and Xi Jinping
After winning the presidential election in the United States, Donald Trump has not even assumed power, but before that there had been a big stir in China regarding Trump’s cabinet. Chinese strategists constantly warn the Jinping government against this new Trump team. It is said that when Trump takes power, many problems will increase for China. On top of that, Dragon will also have to face difficulties from Trump’s new department.
Chinese advisors have warned the Beijing government that the team of billionaire Elon Musk and Indian-born businessman Vivek Ramaswamy, among the most famous faces included in Donald Trump’s team in his new term, will be the biggest threat to China. So will the policies, strategies and plans of the next US president, Donald Trump, be the biggest threat to China?
There may be more problems than before
Experts believe that during Trump’s term, China will have to face more problems than before. What must be taken into account is that this warning to the Jinping government has been given by a political advisor to the Chinese government. China’s political advisor, Zheng Yongnian, has expressed this apprehension toward China regarding Trump’s new team. According to Zheng Yongnian, the biggest threat to China during Trump’s second term will be the team of Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy.
China’s political advisor also believes that a more efficient US political system will put enormous pressure on China. The greatest pressure on China may come from political changes taking place within the United States. This pressure will not be limited only to China, but will also extend to other countries, especially Europe. In such a situation, China should find countermeasures against the Trump cabinet.
‘Preparing to eliminate many regulations and reduce the number of employees’
We tell you that Trump has nominated Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy to head a new government department DOGE, that is, the Department of Government Efficiency. These two members joining Trump’s Cabinet have already planned to eliminate many rules and reduce the number of government employees.
Donald Trump will take the reins of the United States for his second term starting January 20. That means there is less than a month and a half until Trump-2.0 begins in the United States. In such a situation, the Chinese government has already started preparations on many fronts to meet the challenges of Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy, who are joining Trump’s new cabinet.
Suspicion of damaging bilateral relations
China’s advisors and strategists believe that Trump can damage bilateral relations with China by imposing various types of taxes. Although Trump is a businessman, he would not want any direct conflict with China.
Experts believe that after Trump’s arrival in the United States, tension will continue to increase around the South China Sea and the Taiwan Strait. Aside from this fear, China is also worried that Trump’s new team could create a lot of economic problems for Beijing.
Donald Trump’s return to the United States has once again raised fears of a trade war with China. Trump had made statements that increased tension in China during the US presidential election. Among the promises made by Trump to win the elections was to impose heavy import tariffs of up to 60 percent on Chinese products. Even in his first term, Trump had made many difficult decisions against China.
Import duties increased in the last quarter
In the last term, the Trump administration cracked down on Chinese goods and increased import duties by 25 percent. When Trump first raised import duties, it was very painful for China. Four years into Trump’s last term, China’s economic situation has become more critical. After Trump, the Biden administration also did not reduce pressure on China. The Biden administration continued tough measures against China and, in some cases, even expanded their scope.
Experts believe that what Trump had said about new tariffs on Chinese products, this time he will apply his words against Beijing more strictly. China’s problems will increase further as members like Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy join Trump’s team. The reason behind this is that in recent times, Elon Musk’s company has suffered a huge setback due to China, after which Elon Musk will definitely make up for the loss caused by China.
Where does the screw get stuck?
In fact, Chinese President Jinping recently visited Brazil. In that period, a Brazilian and Chinese company had signed an agreement. Brazil had signed an agreement with China’s Space Cell on satellite Internet service. Space Cell is the biggest rival to Elon Musk’s Starlink company. In such a situation, this agreement between Brazil and China was considered a big loss for Elon Musk’s company.
