China expresses concern over potential Trump presidency and its impact on trade and technology
China is concerned about a potential second Trump presidency due to his previous trade policies, which included high tariffs on Chinese goods. Trump has suggested he may increase these tariffs further, worsening China's current economic crisis. Under Trump, the U.S. may also limit technology exports to China and reduce investment in the country. This could hinder China's goal of becoming a global tech leader by 2030 and complicate its economic recovery. Additionally, Trump might pursue a peace deal in Ukraine that could benefit Russia, potentially shifting U.S. focus away from China. As a response, China may seek stronger alliances with countries outside the West to mitigate its economic challenges.
