"Chinese Opinion" Trump. As the US will complete the war in Ukraine without taking into account the interests of

Donald Trump has repeatedly called China a major problem. The Great War in Ukraine has worsened the world situation: Russia is actively building alliances with unfriendly regimes. Focus found out how the new US president will restrain a large axis of evil. Republican Donald Trump's return to the White House will change the US foreign policy on many fronts. Military conflicts have engulfed some parts of the world, and the new state president positions himself as a peacemaker.

In voicing the priorities of his foreign policy, Trump often called China a major problem. The rest of the hostile US countries - Russia, Iran and DPRK - occupied not so important in its rhetoric. During the period of power in 2017-2021, the Republican proved himself as a supporter of a policy of growing restraint of the PRC. The main argument of the Republican in the fight against China is not a military force, but an "economic attack".

Speaking of the threat of China's attack on Taiwan, he emphasized that the solution of this issue would not require the intervention of US soldiers. Chinese leader Xi Jinping will receive duties of 150-200% for goods. "I would not have to use power because these respect me. He knows that I am crazy," Trump said on October 19, 2024. But Beijing will answer that will cause a trade war between two superpowers. It remains to be guessed that in this case it is waiting for the world economy.

China sells more than $ 400 billion in the US annually and for hundreds of billions of dollars in the form of components that Americans buy in other countries. So far, Beijing's official rhetoric on the United States has not understood: in the restrained greeting of Donald Trump with the election of US President on behalf of the Foreign Ministry Mao Nina, there is no hostile tone.

China promises to act in relations with the United States on the basis of the principles of mutual respect, peaceful coexistence and mutually beneficial cooperation. "We respect the choice of the American people and congratulate Mr. Trump on the election of the US President," Mao Nin said briefly. Chinese markets responded to Trump's victory not so smoothly. Yuan and actions of Chinese technology companies on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange fell by 4%, Reuters writes.

During Trump's first presidency, Yuan weakened about 5% relative to the dollar. Speaking for the stimulation of American production, Trump promised voters to introduce 60%duties on Chinese goods. The chance of a sharp turn of US foreign policy from Russia and Ukraine to China for Trump administration can be estimated as 50 to 50.

From the beginning of a full -scale invasion of Ukraine, it has significantly strengthened ties with China, says Focus Center for Foreign Policy Programs, Coordinator of International Projects "Razumkov Center "Alexei Melnyk. "The rivalry with the two countries mentioned will underlie the White House's foreign policy. In this context, Trump will form a policy on other regions. Trump's victory is not the best result and causes Beijing fears.

The Chinese leadership will seek to maintain the visibility of warm relationships with Trump and at the same time intensify the demonstration of strength. An example of this is periodic military training with a Taiwan maritime blocking element to force Trump to use an army component, Melnyk believes. China also counts on strengthening links with the global south, Europe and Northeast Asia, taking into account Trump's isolationist foreign policy.

Kiev now needs to prepare for the fact that Donald Trump will try to realize threats towards Ukraine: it will make you sit at the negotiating table and reduce the amount of assistance. The great luck will be if other scenarios come, but there are little grounds for optimism, supplemented by Alexei Melnyk. "The acute issue concerns the influence of Trump on Euro -Atlantic unity and the EU country. If chaos continues during his first presidency, Ukraine only loses from it," he emphasizes.

Another important factor should not be forgotten: Russia actively united the Anti -democratic regimes of North Korea, Iran and China. Since 2022, Moscow has intensified contacts with Beijing and every year their connections are increasingly difficult to break, the focus comments political expert Petro Oleshchuk. "There is a doubt as the United States will resist China in the separation from Russia? The Ukrainian question is one of the main ones, against us is the DPRK army. .

China seeks to make Russia more dependent and for this war in Ukraine must continue, but not turn into a global confrontation with the West. Oleshchuk estimates that Trump is not inclined to provide Ukraine with military assistance and counts on a quick world treaty. Theoretically, it will not be against loans and will fill the real content of Land League. We will remind, the Ukrainian MP Marian Zablotsky proposed to draw a mural in Kiev depicting Donald Trump.
