I remember China more or less supporting Russia here and there, during the beginning of the Ukraine War. If this is wrong please correct me (this goes for everything) . So now Trump and Putin are basically allies. However as far as I know, Trump is still anti-China.

So, now what? Where in all this new found alliance leaves the US (and Russia) relationship with China? What is likely to happen, generally speaking? Will Russia cut ties with China? Will Trump get close with China now? I feel like Jinping and Trump are kind of squabbling over Putin’s affection right now, and I don’t know if that analogy is valid.

    Alright, let me limit the question then to just: Is Trump still genuinely anti-China?

      No one knows. Here’s a video of Trump from a few days ago saying he’s willing to concede Taiwan.

      With that offer on the table, who knows how much China would be willing to pay Trump. Trump is just in it for himself. He just put a trillion dollar chip on the bargaining table.

      Yes, he will only get more anti-China with time I imagine. The ideological opponent to fascism is always communism. On a more material basis China is stepping on United States profits. The main target will be the prevention of BRICS membership in Latin America imo
