Summary
Donald Trump has reportedly invited Chinese President Xi Jinping to his January 20 presidential inauguration, though Xi’s response is unclear.
Trump’s transition team has also considered inviting other world leaders, including Hungary’s Viktor Orbán.
Known for his tough stance on China, Trump has named prominent China hawks like Marco Rubio and Mike Waltz to key positions.
Trump plans to reintroduce tariffs on Chinese imports and restrict Chinese ownership of U.S. assets.
He’s stringing them along until he gets tough on them.
Being tough and being respectful are not in opposition
Well I guess Trump was just being respectful when he admired his ability to govern 1.4 billion people with an iron fist. And being tough on him when he imposed tariffs on washing machines that drastically increased the price of both washers and dryers for the American people because tariffs are paid by us.
Don’t worry I’m just being respectful right now.
