Trump's game, China's move

China Daily  

Cai Meng/China Daily The Trump White House is likely to ignite another round of inflation in new trade and tech wars. Trump's triple inflation risks If the 2021-23 inflation surge in America killed Biden's second term by instigating widespread voter frustration, Trump's economic agenda is likely to pose a triple threat to US price stability. The second likely source of inflation would be the Trump's pledge to initiate the "massive" deportation process, alongside other restrictive immigration policies. Unlike Lighthizer who saw tariffs as across-the-board duties to resolve America's chronic trade deficits, the Wall Streeters are more likely to use tariffs "strategically" on certain products and as a cudgel to coerce other nations to accede to Trump's demands. China's counter-measures As demonstrated by the just concluded Central Economic Work Conference, China has been preparing for Trump's trade wars.
