Trump’s policy and China’s reasonable reaction （Part 2）

As almost everyone estimated, President Trump has made numerous decisions incompliant to American policies in the past several decades, especially after the cold war. The US has quitted several important organizations and protocols, economic or ecological. Besides that, President Trump even risked the dismiss of the NATO to threaten the alliances to increase the military budget share. He also put pressure to the leaders of North Korea, Iran and Turkey on nuclear weapon and human right issue. A trade war against China, increased tariffs on European partners and even Canada……It seems he is leading the US to fight against the whole world.

Although his behaviors look crazy, some results turned out that he won. The question is, will he continue winning in the rest topics as before? Or will his strategy fail at a certain time?
