Trump talked about the military confrontation between China and the United States. Has Trump’s true thoughts on China been exposed?
There is only the last week left in the U.S. presidential election. In order to win support from swing states, Trump finally came up with his bottom-line campaign strategy during the campaign in Pennsylvania, which is to promise voters that if he is elected again The President of the United States will not launch wars abroad and send Americans to "die" on the battlefield.
Of course, Trump is only responsible for boasting, but he will not elaborate on his "peace agenda" in detail. At the same time, he emphasizes that he is different from Harris. , the latter will only plunge the United States into "three wars."
At this point, Trump’s words were very inflammatory, saying that if Harris were to be president, it would be equivalent to “betting the lives of millions of Americans” because she was “too incompetent” to be qualified for this job. position, let alone dealing with other major countries, it is still unclear whether it can adequately deal with geopolitical hot spots.
Not only that, he also further strengthened this position through his own social media platform, saying that if Harris is president for 4 years, the Middle East will "be plunged into 40 years of war", and Americans will go to the battlefield as a result.
Immediately afterwards, Trump emphasized that he would be committed to "preventing a world war" and would not send Americans out to die.
While Trump promised to "not go to war with foreign countries," his deputy Vance emphasized through media channels that Trump is a "peaceful presidential candidate."
Vance also revealed that the reason why Trump had a bad relationship with the U.S. military during the last term was because of Pentagon officials and Some Republican establishment members want the United States to become the "world policeman," but Trump has a different view on this. He refuses to be involved in a "ridiculous conflict."
The authenticity of these words is not important, as long as voters buy it. The two sides echoed each other for a while, which shows that this is a premeditated public opinion offensive.
After leaving Pennsylvania and coming to New York, Trump began to promote his foreign policy and once again made it clear that he would not start a war while in office.
But there are always exceptions to everything, and Sino-US relations are this exception. Trump just finished saying "no war with foreign countries", and then added that if China and the United States ever meet at war, he will ensure that the United States "gains an advantage."
As for how to achieve this, Trump still has not further elaborated. This is also in line with the characteristics of campaign language, empty gimmicks without reality, and fulfillment. Whether or not it all depends on personal wishes after being elected.
While promoting his peaceful image, Trump also did not forget to make special arrangements for Sino-US relations. This seems to mean that his peace policy, especially his commitment to "no external war", does not apply to the situation of Sino-US competition.
What’s more, the concept of strategic competition between China and the United States began in the Trump era, and the Biden administration has only carried it forward.
In addition, we can also understand that the complexity of the structural contradictions between China and the United States has exceeded the scope of Trump’s peace policy, and there is no guarantee that China and the United States will make no mistakes.
In other words, Trump’s promise to “not go to war with other countries” is to serve the strategic goal of Sino-US competition, so Sino-US relations will become this exception.
The biggest geopolitical risk between China and the United States, and the one most likely to lead to "war" between the two countries, is undoubtedly the Taiwan Strait issue .
I have to mention here that during the recent period, Trump has not discussed the Taiwan issue less, and has adopted a posture of demanding prices from both sides. At the same time, he said that if China regains Taiwan, he will impose higher taxes on China. on the other hand, it accused Taiwan of stealing high-tech industries from the United States and demanded that the Taiwan authorities pay more "protection fees."
But from our standpoint, even within the United States, Trump alone has no say in the contest between China and the United States on the Taiwan issue.
As for geopolitical hot spots in other directions, such as the Russia-Ukraine conflict, Trump is confident that he can "clean up the mess" for the Biden administration. He has said many times during this period that if he is elected in November, he will take action as soon as possible to end the Russia-Ukraine conflict without waiting for the handover next year.
On the issue of Palestine and Israel, Trump accused the Democratic Party of being "weak and incompetent" and emphasized that if he were still here, this kind of thing would not happen.
Trump vigorously exaggerates his peaceful stance, which is not only a campaign strategy to win over voters, but also a signal to the outside world that after he returns to the White House, the United States will shrink its foreign policy. The trend and isolationism will be further strengthened, even going back to 4 years ago.
But then again, not going to war with other countries does not mean that Trump will not adopt aggressive tariff policies.
His remarks are essentially preset premise, giving voters a multiple-choice question: either choose himself and spend four relatively peaceful and stable years in the "America First" policy environment; or choose Harris. , let’s see how she and the Democratic Party push the United States into a point of no return in geopolitical conflicts.
To a certain extent, the reason why Trump has the confidence to promise "no foreign war" is because he believes that his tariff policy will provide a universal solution to any complex geopolitical issue.
Not only Sino-US relations, but also US-European economic and trade can also be solved by tariffs. Even when dealing with complex international supply chain restructuring issues, tariffs still come in handy.
Although many people will have reservations about this, as long as Trump firmly believes that tariffs are "the more the better" for the United States, no one can change his mind. The "peace policy" he advocates is similar, and the reason why China has become the exception more or less reflects Trump's true thoughts on China.
