From Fox Business: Something is “very, very wrong” in Beijing right now, according to foreign policy expert Gordon Chang, who is signaling more “end-of-regime conduct” coming out of Xi Jinping’s China.
“At a time when China needs friends because it’s not selling goods to the U.S., it is going out of its way to antagonize not just the Philippines, not just Taiwan, but also South Korea and Australia,” Chang, a senior fellow with the Gatestone Institute, said on “Mornings with Maria” Monday.
“This shows that… this is end-of-regime conduct, because Xi Jinping, he can’t appear to be giving in to the U.S.,” he added.
On Friday, President Donald Trump told reporters from the White House lawn that he’s spoken to Jinping “many times” now, before responding to a question about what exactly the two leaders discussed: “I’ll let you know at the appropriate time. Let’s see if we can make a deal.”
The report notes that the Chinese government has publicly denied there are any ongoing negotiations with the Trump administration regarding the tariffs.
Chang explained, “[Jinping] has configured the Chinese political system so that it is hostile. And also, because he’s been making the claim that China has surpassed the U.S., he can’t look dependent on trade with the U.S. And he certainly can’t look like he’s talking to the U.S. under pressure.”
