I must admit, I was hoping Trump could find a way to make peace with China instead of starting another trade war. It could result in many of our allies leaving us.
There are still ways for Trump to negotiate with China, perhaps offering incentives such as tariff reductions in
exchange for avoiding military action, or reducing support towards other adversaries of China such as India and Japan.
We need to face the reality that China does have significant military and tech advantages over us, and lessening our anti-China stance and cooperating with them might be the only way forward. Many other countries in Europe and the third world support China as well because they are receiving aid, goods, and infrastructure from them.
If Trump can manage to pull off a prolonged peace with China better than the Democrats' "do-nothing" stance, then he can ensure the safety and continuity of America and the advancement of humanity as a whole.
