Top officials and intellectuals in China are “awed’ by President Donald Trump’s “skill as a strategist and tactician,” according to co-founder and director of the European Council on Foreign Relations Mark Leonard.
Writing in the Financial Times, Leonard reports that on a recent trip to China many of those he spoke to said “that Mr Trump is the US first president for more than 40 years to bash China on three fronts simultaneously: trade, military and ideology.”
The Chinese see Trump as rejecting the idea that U.S. leaders should be managing the relative decline of the U.S.
Leonard goes on to say that while China is taking a tough stance in its conflict with the U.S. now, “many Chinese” think that their leaders should rethink the strategy. Instead of confronting the U.S. and seeking to build an anti-U.S. coalition, China should “prepare the ground for a new grand bargain with the US based on Chinese retrenchment.”

Journalists do, in fact, go to school. I have never been able to figure out just what it is they study. Probably mostly make-work for four years.
So many of them seem to have low IQs.
“Remember what they named Trump when he visited China?
Donald the Strong.
What do you think they named Zero?

BIG “win-win” possible for the United States AND China... Dawning of a new Day...
Many of them can actually read, at least well enough to read a teleprompter. Small wonder they felt kinship with The One, Zero...

You might want to read the article first. Someone posted it on Reddit to get around the pay wall.
And his energy, speaking for myself.
I remember them laughing in Geitner’s face and ridiculing us for obama sending an ambassador to China that couldn’t even speak Mandarin.
Of course, any “Chinese retrenchment” will be meant only to appear to be retrenchment and/or be retrenchment only in the short term.
Still, apart from Trump’s prowess, Xi apparently is overstretching and ignoring his own local economy to a perilous degree.
Obama was quite used to exiting the rear end.
and they’ll try to copy it as fast as possible ,LOL
“prepare the ground for a new grand bargain with the US based on Chinese retrenchment.”
The communists of China must be reined in, for the future of humanity.
Saving humanity from the brutal, corrupt surveillance state that Chinese communist dominance would inflict, may end up being Trump’s greatest historical impact.
I believe that they were for the most part the C and D students in school.
