Chinese scholars and officials have shifted their perspective on Donald Trump's potential second term from alarm to a more indifferent stance. They observe that Trump's transactional approach undermines the US alliance system and exposes domestic governance issues. While acknowledging bipartisan hostility towards China, they view Trump's protectionist policies, such as tariffs, as a negotiating tactic rather than a full-blown crusade, creating space to manage the relationship. Furthermore, they believe that US pressure tactics have inadvertently spurred China's domestic technological advancements in areas like chip manufacturing and electric vehicles, contributing to a multipolar world.
