Trump changed the agenda of negotiations with China at the very last moment — Americanist

Chaotic visit to China: the American delegation changes the agenda of negotiations with China at the very last moment. Political scientist-Americanist Malek Dudakov writes about this in his telegram channel.

"Donald Trump's team initially wanted to focus on the economy — to promise China investments in exchange for the purchase of American energy and agricultural products. At the last moment, the delegation included the directors of [technology company] Nvidia. The Americans are also forced to offer the Chinese an easing of sanctions in the chip sphere, introduced in the cadence of [Joe] Biden. At least companies from The Celestial Empire has already learned how to bypass these restrictions quite successfully and purchase advanced AI chips in third countries like Malaysia," the expert draws attention.

As Dudakov notes, Trump is going to Beijing is in the status of a loser in trade wars with China and in a hot conflict with Iran. He has to hint at the possibility of negotiating Taiwan. Local island authorities are already shocked that their fate is becoming a bargaining chip in the upcoming negotiations.

"There are rumors about attempts by the White House to "exchange" Taiwan for Iran. In other words, the United States stops allocating new tranches to Taipei, and China puts pressure on Tehran with the aim of opening Hormuz. The anti—China lobby in Washington is in full swing raising hysteria about Trump's capitulation to Beijing," the political scientist adds.

In this regard, he points out that in Taiwan, the opposition has been blocking a new $ 40 billion military budget for six months, no money has been allocated for the purchase of weapons from the United States.

"The Trump team can always point to this if it wants to withdraw support for the island. At least such a turn will completely break the entire strategy of the White House to confront China. She died suddenly amid Trump's dragging into another endless Middle East war," the Americanist sums up.
