This happen in his last term as well. China was mostly ignore in the 1st half before he raised the sinophobia level 3x, arrested meng, trade war, huawei/zte ban, covid propaganda, hk color revolution. This time he is even more prepared and have silicon valley brains behind him as well. China shouldn't take him as the same as before.
Internal conflict may also be his bigger threat when his maga projects fail, og maga wake up that he is just another oligarch, inflation or if the democrats grow a spine again etc
Yeah, Trump's ultimate dream is to become some kind of dictator, I mean even babies can understand his personality type.
So, how could he allow for something like a 'meager' TikTok app to dictate his position prospects like this forever?
Once he used it, he would discard it like trash, after he amassed more power.
The people here said the same things about Biden and his supposed China links, and him being a CCP agent in a joking manner and whatever, thinking he would be better than Trump, but then boom.
He probably thinks that keeping TikTok unbanned, for some time, is enough favor to the company anyway.
This kind of sentimental thinking due to having ties to both the US and China and wanting them to be peaceful forever like in past decades, is not logical.
It is clear as day that some time ago someone from the deep state/oligarchy simply decided finally to try and destroy/collapse China due to its rapid rise and that's it.
