    Honestly I’m not convinced. The anti-China brainworms ramped up considerably in his last term, more so than usual. Under Biden it’s become even worse. Trump needs an external enemy and China has been his target for a while.

      Trump invited Xi to attend his inauguration. From the perspective of a businessman (both Trump and Musk are, no matter how shitty of a businessman they have been), it makes sense to normalize relations with China in a way that would be acceptable to the huge ego of American exceptionalism.

      Biden is a pure ideologue. He does not care about doing businesses. He wants war.
