China seeks to strengthen ties with US allies amidst Trump’s return to power

Quick Summary:

BEIJING—China’s relations are starting to improve with Japan, India and other countries that former US President Joe Biden courted, just as Donald Trump brings his more unilateralist approach back to the White House.

Hal Brands, senior fellow at the Washington-based think tank American Enterprise Institute, said he believes some top strategists in Beijing are “salivating at the damage they think Trump is going to do to US alliances and the opportunities this creates for Beijing to resurrect some of its relationships with other advanced democracies—Japan and Europe—that had moved in a very sharply anti-China direction since Covid.

During his confirmation hearing, Rubio called China “the most potent and dangerous near-peer adversary this nation has ever confronted.” Biden kept the tariffs Trump levied on China and imposed more on Chinese electric cars and solar cells.
