The US President-elect can change the course of history with one conversation.
Journalist Ivan Yakovina believes that US President-elect Donald Trump has all the necessary levers of influence on Xi Jinping, which he can use if he wants to so that China stops providing assistance to Russia. No one will dare to claim that the US President elected for a second term will do this, but there is a chance.
The journalist described how Trump can change the course of world history with one conversation with the head of China:
“At his “celebration of life”, Trump will give comrade Xi Jinping an ultimatum: you let Chinese goods into the American market without restrictions, you remove all restrictions on the work of American companies in China. For one thing, Trump can say under this brand that you should stop supporting Russia in the war. This is possible. I do not guarantee that he will say so, but in principle he can say so if he has good relations with Ukraine and Zelensky by that time.”
“Trump will say: if you do all this, then I will not introduce new duties on Chinese goods, and if you do not agree, then your industry is screwed. Choose.” Apparently, I am not the only one who thinks so and I am not the only one who assumes that such a conversation is quite possible. Why? Because Reuters informs us that the Chinese authorities have begun discussing the possibility of weakening the yuan in 2025, and they are going to do this in response to a possible increase in American trade duties during Trump's second presidential term,” Yakovina explained.
