The Chinese see Trump as an effective and dangerous opponent....
Stable Genius? Sorry Democrats, But This Is How China Views Trumpās Foreign Policy
Leonard spoke with numerous officials and members of the Chinese elite, some of them high-level, who are more wary of what they see as Trumpās ācreative destruction.ā He also said the people he spoke noted that Trump is the first president to attack China economically, military, and on the basis of ideology. They also viewed his Helsinki presser with Russian President Vladimir Putin, which many viewed as a low point in the administration, with the hysterical view being that it was treasonous, as Kissinger-esque in the sense that Trump is using Russia to isolate China. In 1972, Nixon opening the door was a brilliant geopolitical move that boxed in the Soviet Union. One billion people then viewed the USSR as an enemy. Yet, China is also making moves to counter this trend (via Financial Times):
