the percentage of Americans who hold an unfavorable opinion of China more than doubled in March, from 30% to 66%. The survey also found that 62% of Americans consider China's power and influence to be "a major threat" to the United States. Likewise, a Gallup poll released in March revealed that favorable views of China were at an all-time low among U.S. adults.
The Trump campaign's ad featured old clips of the Democratic former vice president and the tagline: "Biden stands up for China while China cripples America." Purely as a campaign theme, bashing China tends to be effective for Republicans, GOP strategist Heye said. "In Republican politics, you can never be anti-China enough."
"Trump's campaign is taking a real risk if it intends to make China into an election-year boogeyman," said Jessica Chen Weiss, a professor of government at Cornell University and an expert in China's domestic politics. During his daily coronavirus briefings, Trump comes across as reluctant to directly attack China over the pandemic. For a politician who built his brand on promises to punish China for a host of sins, it feels like there's something missing.
"If it was a mistake: a mistake is a mistake," Trump said. "But if [China] were knowingly responsible, yeah, then there should be consequences." At one of his last campaign rallies before he suspended them, in Des Moines in late January, Trump told supporters the China trade deal he had signed two weeks earlier was going to make them all rich.
And today, four months later, the deal is actually being implemented, mostly with the U.S. and China adjusting import/export rules for things like beef and nectarines. "Do you want to walk back the time when you praised China in January for being transparent about the coronavirus?" a reporter asked Trump at a recent briefing.
Because he owes them a truckload of cash.
More BS from CNBC
There is no need to remove the trade deals advantages and punish the United States for China's actions. Demanding POTUS act irrationally so they can blame him for being irrational is wearing very thin. tt:ckchumley lizpeek
Now do Biden and his son.
Another hater from . Nice photo of realDonaldTrump. You’re classless.
I don't know who looks more guilty.
JohnVieira25 How is phase 2, section 1, topic A going anyways?
This is good for America. We need time to move supply chain manufacturing out of China and other foreign countries before we play hard ass. Let's not shoot ourself in the other foot while the first foot is healing, ok?
Gutless and weak
christinawilkie “China has a lot of leverage over the United States”, AYFKM? Have you not been reading CNBC for the last 3 years? Relative leverage is heavily in our favor. We don’t depend on exports nearly at all. They are screwed w/o them. Go back to HuffPo. SMH
