So when Xi Jinping comes into power in 2013, he doesn't understand what Apple's contributions to the country are. And we know this because within 36 hours of him being appointed president, CCTV, sort of state-sponsored CNN of China, attacks Apple. And there's many reasons to think of Apple as an exploitative power in the country.
Now, that implies that despite lower-level negotiations that may take place, any real breakthrough may have to come directly from President Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping having direct communication.
But today, the US lacks that kind of manufacturing heft. China, on the other hand, has got it in droves. For years, China's leader, Xi Jinping, poured money into developing strategic sectors, from shipbuilding to mining and processing critical minerals. Faced with a war, China would be well positioned.
Right. What really jumped out at me is how Xi Jinping wants a different kind of negotiation than the one in the first Trump term. Back then, Xi Jinping's chief trade negotiator was someone who was trained by Harvard, was known as a very pro-market pragmatist. who really understood US concerns. And fast forward to today, Xi Jinping himself really wants to play hardball with the United States.
