Beijing is strategically positioning itself to counter Donald Trump’s trade policies, as it has become clear that China is the main target of U.S. tariffs. According to Patrick Wintour, the Chinese government appears to have devised a plan to withstand and potentially thrive amid Trump’s economic aggression, emphasizing its commitment to multilateral trade and stability as a global partner, which has been cautiously acknowledged by Europe. This suggests that China’s economy may emerge in a stronger position than America’s as the tariff wars progress.
