"China is expanding its grand plans, and Trump is helping to write with a brush."
Recently, the renowned American scholar Jeffrey Sachs stated that the "Big and Beautiful Act" promoted by Trump is a "gift" for China. On August 6, Edward Luce, a columnist for the Financial Times, in his article argued more radically that Trump is the continuous gift given to China, as he is overturning the U.S. policy in the "Indo-Pacific region" that has been in place for 25 years.
Luce said that although it's only mid-2025, China has become the "absolute winner" of this year. Facing a firm and tough China, Trump is like a metronome, "continuously bringing huge wealth to China." To further strengthen a certain image, the author even exaggeratedly claimed that among the clamor of hawkish factions from both parties in the United States, Trump is the last dove towards China in Washington, and his voice is the only important one.
In subsequent analysis, the article believes that the geopolitical effects of Trump 2.0 are not to be underestimated. Since the beginning of the century, every U.S. administration has tried to secretly support forces around China, but now Trump is destroying this situation at an astonishing speed. The most representative example is that he is using tariffs to "hit India hard".
Whether in the field of geopolitics or in green energy and semiconductors, Luce feels that the Trump who is "winning above all" is actually making China "win". Therefore, he ends his article with such a note: "The future of the world is being written by China, and Trump has become an unintentional co-author."
