#USChinaTensions I've been writing about this for at least 2 years.
Yes, it cannot be denied that Trump has a particularly aggressive grudge against China. He had it since his previous term. But trust me, this is nothing new. The establishment in the US (Democrat and Republican) has been targeting China since they believed they had neutralized Russia.
One realizes this in the strangest way: by watching Hollywood movies. Look at the years when action movies changed from the bad Russians and Taliban to bad Chinese.
Now see how the bad guys can no longer be Chinese even if they want to. China is their second largest market.
