PNN – In an analytical report, the CNN news channel examined the impact of Donald Trump’s return to the White House on the future of Washington’s political and economic strategy towards China.
According to the report of Pakistan News Network, the CNN news website wrote in this analysis: Trump’s return could result in a 60% tariff on Chinese goods, which would be a fatal blow to the growing economy of the world’s second largest economy.
The website of this American video media continued to write: At the same time that Trump’s foreign policy can weaken Washington’s alliance with its allies and the loss of America’s leadership role in the world; this will be an opportunity for Beijing to fill this void.
“Shen Dingli”, a political analyst in Shanghai, told CNN about this: Trump’s return to power will definitely bring great opportunities and great risks for China.
“Liu Dongshu” (Liu Dongshu), an assistant professor in international affairs from the University of Hong Kong, also said in this regard: Trump is a very bad person and it should be seen whether he is going to implement the policies he promised in the election campaign and whether he will stick to his work method as in the first term or not.

In the continuation of this CNN report, it is stated: Trump, in his first term of office, by launching a trade war against China and accusing China of causing the spread of the Corona virus, put the relations between the two countries at their lowest level.
In an estimate, “Macquarie Investment Bank” announced that if the US imposes a 60% tariff on China, it can reduce the country’s economic growth by 2%, and this could be the end of China’s 5% economic growth model.
On the other hand, analysts believe that Trump’s “America First” policy and Trump’s trans-regional point of view can end up in Beijing’s favor.
“Tong Zhao”, senior researcher of “Carnegie Foundation for International Peace” said about this: Although Beijing is deeply concerned about the unpredictability of Trump’s China policy; these challenges themselves can also bring opportunities.
This Carnegie Foundation researcher told CNN: Despite the fears of the renewal of the trade war, Beijing believes that the stubborn policy of (Trump’s) tariffs can be very unfavorable for the Europeans and this issue will strengthen the economic relations between Europe and China.
At the same time, Trump’s lack of interest in supporting Taiwan is also an opportunity for Beijing to fulfill its wish regarding this island.
The senior researcher of “Carnegie Foundation for International Peace” also told CNN about the Taiwan issue: Given Trump’s little interest in defending Taiwan (against China), Beijing will seek more concessions from Washington on Taiwan affairs and will try to push the United States to reduce military and political support for Taiwan.
