    China deserves donald trump

    It took a human wrecking ball to get China’s attention.

    A U.S. businessman friend of mine who works in China remarked to me recently that Donald Trump is not the American president America deserves, but he sure is the American president China deserves.

    Trump’s instinct that America needs to rebalance its trade relationship with Beijing — before China gets too big to compromise — is correct. And it took a human wrecking ball like Trump to get China’s attention. But now that we have it, both countries need to recognize just how pivotal this moment is.

    The original U.S.-China opening back in the 1970s defined our restored trade ties, which were limited. When we let China join the World Trade Organization in 2001, it propelled China into a trading powerhouse under rules that still gave China lots of concessions as a developing economy.
    Well worth the read for a balanced and objective look at the current US/China "conflict".

    Some people act like Trump’s actions vis-a-vie China or that his brash tactics in carrying out those actions are a surprise. Anybody knowing anything about Trump cannot act surprised about either. The voters got exactly that for which they bargained in both cases. They, including me, wanted a “wrecking ball” to confront China and a host of other issues. You know what is said about omlettes and eggs. It applies here.
