Same reason why Trump and Putin will probably be at each others throats soon enough, as well.

The Chinese government is not "evil". That's an overly simplistic, undiplomatic, and unconstructive way to frame the situation.

People are very selective on what they choose to remember. Especially if they voted for this idiot.

Trump is dealing with forces he doesn't understand and many will suffer because of him. Bad!
Please stop being a racist.

This is really the Bush years all over again. Children at the foreign policy wheel trying to feel big about themselves.

Not sure if you are talking about the Chinese or the Americans here 🤔

There's nothing to be gained from a trade war for everyone involved. I don't think it's a possibility at all, especially in this day & age.

"Asian men have small dicks!" isn't funny, mmkay. It's being a racist.

I'd say that China represents lawful evil whereas Trump is chaotic evil.
By that metric, Putin would probably be neutral evil, yet sometimes pretending to be chaotic evil when it suits his needs.

Still standing ground on the day he's sworn is you wont see this kind of Trump on Twitter. You can criticize his cabinet to the nth-degree but there is no way the House, Senate or any other foreign affairs type committee would allow Trump to fire off the way he does.
These people may thump their chests over this stuff but none of them are stupid enough to bring out trade wars. It would hurt their constituents way too much.

They will care when it's threaten to have their lobbying money pulled.

Think he meant their donors.
And then the US will tell China that they never had a wall in the first place.

What the fuck, the EU still exists. China and progressive western ideals, really? Just look at the shit they're pulling in HK. Western ideals my ass
I remain unconvinced. Trump is actively picking fights with major corporations right now and the GOP is too spineless to tell him to knock it off.
That's not what your mom said last night.
I can't wait to see who he blames when his policies blow out the trade deficit.

The next 4 years of diplomatic relations with other nations will be interesting to follow. Generally the USA has erred on the side of caution when speaking with foreign leaders who aren't our political allies (China, North Korea, etc.) so it won't provoke them and potentially cause an expensive and damaging war. But Trump isn't going to sit there and take it, he's going to fight back when they say something he doesn't agree with. And we've never had a president like this before. At least, not in modern day history.

they don't wanna get roasted on twitter. If Trump turns on them then so will their voters.
No, just no. I don't consider China to be very western at all. They have an economy now and some people are filthy rich and buying things. That doesn't make them western or progressive.

He loves twitter for the same reason he loves his rallies: They're both platforms in which he will not be challenged and have enormous echo chambers.
It's not about having a discussion. It's about his ego, as is 98% of everything he says.

And on top of that you owed your cousin a lot, A LOT of money.
Puh lease. All China has to do is throw some money or business his way and he's bestest friends ever.
Should have clarified, I was referring to a major nation in Asia who understands that progressive values are essential for western democracies even if out of self interest. Unlike say Japan who bent over backwards to appease the orange bigot.

China's already starting a trade war through their manipulation of the Yuan. China is leaking foreign reserves at an unprecedented pace in an attempt to prop up the Yuan versus the dollar and keep themselves competitive on manufacturing.

It's because Trump is the soon-to-be President and the One China policy can never be comprised in China's eyes. This doesn't even include his protectionism rhetoric.
Remember where the tax going to come from where Trump administration exempt corporations and ultra-rich? Yeah, quite possibly the imports.
There is no way China won't go tic-for-tat when Trump initiate a trade war AND insult their sovereignty at the same time.

Japan is "bending over backwards" for their self interest - Abe knows that Trump is easily exploitable and all they have to do is stroke his ego to give them what they want. Abe is trying to play the US off against the Chinese and so far it's working wonderfully too.
And Japan is infinitely more 'western' in ideals with regards to running a government. It's a slow, plodding and rusty democracy but a democracy nonetheless. The Chinese love western goods but little else.
I may well be missing what you're saying though.

Not "evil" country which occupies Tibet and where political opponents tend to disappear although sometimes they are just openly murdered in massacres on plazas.
It's hilarious how so many people suddenly support China just because Trump doesn't like them.
Almost three billion Asian people and everyone else just sees one nerdy short guy with a small dick
Kind of shows how asinine and primitive people are if that's the first joke that pops into their head
