Trump’s focus on commerce and personal negotiation style suggests he favors a “grand bargain” with China, even if that means sidelining traditional security concerns like Taiwan. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2025/08/12/world/a-look-at-trumps-china-policy/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #worldnews #china #us #donaldtrump #chinausrelations #taiwan #indopacific #chineseeconomy #useconomy
