Analysis: China undeterred as Trump's bets fall through
"During Trump's tenure, China has flexed its muscle, cracking down on democratic rights in Hong Kong, expanding the domestic surveillance and imprisonment of more than a million Muslim Uighurs, expelling foreign journalists, and shutting down a U.S. Consulate in Chengdu after the Trump administration forced the closure of a Chinese compound in Houston."
"Meanwhile, on Trump's signature issue, Beijing agreed after a fierce 18-month trade war to purchase $200 billion more in U.S. agricultural goods - a pledge now in doubt amid the pandemic - but made virtually no structural changes to its state-backed economic system that has put American companies at a disadvantage.
Trump has moved the U.S.-China relationship from one of skeptical cooperation to one of distrust and antagonism, leaving the world's two major powers at odds on a range of economic and national security issues that are resonating around the globe."
