It is very difficult to get Chinese leadership talk in public about anything in any freewheeling manner and this behavior  is very much in alignment with the kind of closed political system that China has under the Communist Party's tight regime.

Then there is enough to read the tea leaves the way they talk about the policy priorities and what's happening around them.

By all means Joe Biden and his administration is more predictable than Donald Trump and his administration would ever be for China.

The  fractious US, China relationship and the ongoing American technology curb give enough indications of what might  bilateral relationship look like under Trump administration.

China’s top diplomat Wang Yi is not usually known for using hyperbole or duffult phrases. But he said, while talking about tech controls targeting China, that Americans  had hit “bewildering levels of unfathomable absurdity.”

Donald Trump had reshaped relations between the world’s two largest economies with massive trade tariffs while in office four years ago.

He’s now threatening, if elected, to raise those to a level that  could possibly  trigger a de facto decoupling – something the Chinese economy could bear with.

It all perhaps depends on how the America first policy plays out. If somehow this policy takes away American attention away  from China--- very unlikely though--- it would be happy news for Beijing.

Well in the current geopolitical scene, it won't be easy to let China be  for any US president.

China’s core foreign policy goal is  taking control of the self-ruling democracy of Taiwan and China will continue to drive to expand its global power and influence.

How far these things will affect the vital interest of the Americans and their allies is something which is worth watching for all.

The past doings of Trump will make China wary.

Less than a year after Trump lavished praised on  Xi for having  "great chemistry and calling Xi “a very special man,” things went South. 

Trump unleashed a major tranche of tariffs – starting with 25% on $50 billion in Chinese goods – sparking an escalating trade war. Let's see what's in store this time around.
