After four years of Joe Biden, China’s leaders
would likely be relieved to have Donald Trump
back in the White House.

Compared with his predecessor, Biden has
operated quietly. Trump launched a trade war;
slapped tariffs on Chinese imports; and
infuriated Beijing by referring to the
coronavirus as “the Chinese Virus,” blaming
the Chinese Communist Party for its spread,
and even at times humoring theories that the
party may have played a role in its creation.

But Biden has hit China harder than Trump
ever did. Armed with a more determined
foreign policy, he has inflicted acute damage
on the country’s economy and geopolitical
ambitions, from which China’s leader, Xi
Jinping, has struggled to recover. “A
Biden-led U.S., probably from the Chinese
perspective, looks like a more formidable
challenge,” Scott Kennedy, a senior adviser
at the Center for Strategic and International
Studies in Washington, D.C., told me.

The most telling example is Biden’s
technology policy. In 2022, his
administration effectively barred the export
to China of advanced semiconductors and the
complex equipment required to manufacture
them. The controls will likely set back
China’s hopes of building a competitive
chip industry for years and hamper its
progress in other key tech sectors, such
as artificial intelligence.

Biden has revitalized the American-led
global alliance network that had atrophied
under Trump, and has marshaled its power
to counter China. The advanced democracies
in the Group of Seven have displayed an
unusual degree of coordination on Biden’s
watch, agreeing in 2023 to a common approach
to decrease their reliance on the Chinese
economy. Biden has also fostered closer ties
with new partners, especially India, to
compete with Chinese influence in the
developing world. Biden’s success has
apparently alarmed a Chinese leadership
fearful of becoming encircled and contained
by a coalition of American allies.

During the four years that Donald Trump occupied the White
House, the state-owned Industrial and Commercial Bank of
China paid him an estimated $7 million to rent space in Trump
Tower. Despite the extraordinary circumstances of the deal -
involving the government of China, the president of the United
States, and millions of dollars—the Trump family portrayed
the agreement as a standard business transaction. Previously
unreported documents call that characterization into question.

Lending records show that that the Chinese bank abandoned
Trump Tower around the time Trump left the White House.
The bank’s departure seemed to come suddenly, in the first
half of 2021 and less than two years after the bank exercised
what Eric Trump, the former president’s son, described as a
five-year extension. It’s hard to consider either of those
developments—the lease extension or the sudden departure -
without wondering whether China was trying to curry favor.

Trump Records Shed New Light on Chinese Business Pursuits

As he raises questions about his opponent’s standing with China,
President Trump’s taxes reveal details about his own activities
there, including a previously unknown bank account.

And it turns out that China is one of only three foreign nations —
the others are Britain and Ireland — where Mr. Trump maintains
a bank account, according to an analysis of the president’s tax
records, which were obtained by The New York Times.

The Chinese account is controlled by Trump International Hotels
Management L.L.C., which the tax records show paid $188,561
in taxes in China while pursuing licensing deals there from 2013
to 2015.

The Philippine government on Monday identified four new
military camps, including some across the sea from Taiwan,
where rotating batches of American forces will be allowed
to be stationed indefinitely despite strong objections
from China.

President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.'s administration announced
in February his approval of an expansion of the U.S.
military presence to four additional Philippine military
bases from the five existing sites under the 2014 Enhanced
Defense Cooperation Agreement between the longtime treaty
allies.

Marcos said the move would boost the Philippines' coastal
defense. It dovetails with the Biden administration's
efforts to strengthen an arc of military alliances in the
Indo-Pacific to better counter China, including in any
future confrontation over Taiwan.

China has offered Jamaica loans and expertise to
build miles of new highways. Throughout the
Caribbean, it has donated security equipment to
military and police forces, and built a network
of Chinese cultural centers. And it has dispatched
large shipments of test kits, masks and ventilators
to help governments respond to the pandemic.

The initiatives are part of a quiet but assertive
push by China in recent years to expand its
footprint and influence in the region through
government grants and loans, investments by Chinese
companies, and diplomatic, cultural and security
efforts.

Earlier in the week, Trump blasted previous
administrations, saying, "They let our factories
leave, they let our people lose their jobs to
workers in faraway lands. That’s not free trade.
That’s fools’ trade."

And the whole time the president is saying things
like this Trump’s red, white and blue banners and
flags reading "Trump 2020" and "Keep America Great!"
are being stitched up in a factory in …Fuyang, China.

15 times Trump praised China as coronavirus was spreading across the globe

The president has lambasted the WHO for accepting Beijing’s
assurances about the outbreak, but he repeated them, as well.

On Sunday, President Trump tweeted that he and Chinese
President Xi "are working together to give massive Chinese
phone company, ZTE, a way to get back into business, fast.
Too many jobs in China lost. Commerce Department
has been instructed to get it done!"

The largest American office of China's largest bank sits on the
20th floor of Trump Tower, six levels below the desk where
Donald Trump built an empire and wrested a presidency. It's
hard to get a glimpse inside. There do not appear to be any
public photos of the office, the bank doesn't welcome visitors,
and a man guards the elevators downstairs--one of the perks
of forking over an estimated $2 million a year for the space.

Trump Tower officially lists the tenant as the Industrial &
Commercial Bank of China, but make no mistake who's paying
the rent: the Chinese government, which owns a majority of the
company. And while the landlord is technically the Trump
Organization, make no mistake who's cashing those millions: the
president of the United States, who has placed day-to-day
management with his sons but retains 100% ownership.

Within three days of the Chinese government agreeing to
provide $500 million in loans to an Indonesian theme park
that the Trump Organization has a deal to license President
Donald Trump's name to, the president stunningly ordered
sanctions be rescinded against a major Chinese telecom
company.

As AFP reported via the South China Morning Post last week,
the developer of that project just outside of Jakarta had
secured the half billion in funding, in addition to another $500
million from Chinese banks, 72 hours before Trump's Sunday
tweet on the Chinese telecom company ZTE. Trump's family
business has a deal with that developer to include the Trump
name on the resort, which also includes hotels and a golf course.
