Ellison: Trump may become Nixon
While most people, especially Chinese and Americans, believe that Trump's policy toward China is malicious, Ellison, the author of the Thucydides Trap between China and the US, and a scholar from Harvard, publicly expressed a contrary view. He believes that Trump is not like Biden and does not have the deeply rooted anti-China consciousness as the conservative Republicans in the US. He gave an example, stating that whether President Trump would say good things about China or publicly denounce it like he did with Canada or other countries is a matter of choice. President Trump even repeatedly expressed his love for China.
Observers noted that President Trump is indeed the most straightforward president in recent years in the US. He speaks his mind without hesitation, seemingly casual, but he has a solid logic: he firmly believes that the US can do so with its strength. In terms of policy towards China, Trump also aims to maintain America's sense of superiority through strength. Because of this confidence, Trump always looks down on the world, and a few kind words are just an expression of this sense of superiority.
At the core of Trump's mind is the idea of "America First." He believes that China should move a bit slower, which is the starting point and destination of all his actions.
