I would just add that the Chinese, I think, are ambivalent about the Trump administration. They don't like its approach, of course, to imposing tariffs on China, but they see the Trump administration policy towards allies and towards multilateral organizations as the gift that keeps on giving. The U.S. withdrawal from the Paris climate change agreement, its not going forward with the trans-Pacific partnership, its undermining of the World Trade Organization, and a host of other examples have allowed Xi Jinping to present China as the champion of globalization and of liberalization of trade, and also to persuade countries that China, as opposed to the United States, is the rule-abiding member of the international system. This has been an unfortunate set of advantages that China is taking as a result of the Trump administration's policies.
