China prepares for renewed tensions with Trump over trade and Taiwan

China is preparing for renewed tensions with U.S. President-elect Donald Trump as he begins his second term. Key issues include trade, technology, and Taiwan, with Trump threatening to impose high tariffs on Chinese exports, which could significantly impact China's economy. During Trump's first term, tariffs on over $360 billion of Chinese goods led to a trade deal in 2020, but China failed to meet its commitments. The Biden administration has maintained these tariffs and added new ones, indicating a continued tough stance on trade. Trump's approach to Taiwan remains uncertain. He has previously breached diplomatic protocol by speaking with Taiwan's leader and has threatened severe tariffs if China invades Taiwan. His relationship with China is expected to remain complex, balancing trade issues with global diplomatic efforts.
