Problem is that Trump is in no way better than Xi, he only operates in a system which restricts his powers a bit more. Problem is that he is a repulsive bully who takes on everybody - friend and allies - at the same time to demonstrate his strength, instead of forming a big coalition of allies helping to move China from its dark ways to the "bright side". Trump is basically p*ssing against everybodys legs and likely to ensure this way that China's power will increase rather than diminish.
Nobody likes a bully.
Maybe, in this case, it takes a Bully to fight a dictator ... previous leaders of the free world seem to have pandered to the CCP wishes

I do like the stance trump is taking on China

Trumpageddon is inevitable, we all have know that for a while. We're all just trying to make hay as long as we can.
I expect that we will see a lot of buying opportunities over the course of the next year (or two, depending on how it plays out).

If the Trumpet wants to get reelected next year he will have to stop blowing so hard before then. PS-The wall of worry is only a temporary handbrake

Do you think that if trump doesn't get reelected, his replacement will cancel the trade war quickly?
