Donald Trump and China: Donald Trump, the multi-billionaire who has been recently elected as the 45th US President has been quite vocal about taking strict actions against the great “cheater” China. He had earlier said while campaigning that if he acquires the Presidential post, he’d teach China a lesson by increasing tariff on import of Chinese goods to 45%.
Donald Trump and China – Chinese Daily calls Trump a “fool” for his intended move to hike tariff on import of Chinese goods
Recently, a Chinese daily replied saying that it would be a grave mistake by Trump and he would be a “fool” if he decided to initiate a trade war against China. The daily further highlighting the repercussions of the intended move of Trump said that it would be the US industries who would suffer as a consequence and ultimately Trump will be condemned for the move being termed as ignorant and incompetent.
“The facts prove that cooperation is the only correct choice for China and the United States…The two sides must strengthen coordination, promote the two countries’ economic development and global economic growth, expand all areas of exchange and cooperation, ensure the two countries’ people obtain more tangible benefits, and push for better development going forward in China-US relations”
