peking - Chinese President Xi Jinping congratulates Donald Trump on his victory and calls for peaceful cooperation amidst expectations of renewed tensions in trade, technology, and the Taiwan issue.

Chinese President Xi Jinping has congratulated Donald Trump on his victory and urged for peaceful cooperation. With the anticipation of Trump's comeback in the White House, renewed tensions loom around trade, technology, and the Taiwan issue.

"He rules with an iron fist over 1.4 billion people. Whether you like it or not, he's a brilliant guy," Trump praised Xi in a recent podcast. Compliments towards the Chinese president contrast with Xi's more business-like approach towards his American counterpart. The Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs expressed respect for the American people's choice after Trump's election as the new US president was confirmed, stating that they intend to expand cooperation and resolve differences based on mutual respect.

Beijing now has a better understanding of what to expect from a leader like Trump, who has alternated between praising Xi and initiating a trade war with China in 2018. Since then, tensions between Washington and Beijing have escalated. Promises made by Trump during his recent election campaign indicate his reluctance to change course.

Trump has threatened to impose tariffs of up to sixty percent on Chinese goods, posing a significant blow to the already struggling Chinese economy. The country faces challenges such as a real estate crisis, high youth unemployment, and deflation. Chinese experts note that the trade issues have significantly damaged both countries and disrupted global supply chains, particularly impacting Chinese tech companies like Huawei and chip manufacturers. The potential new tariffs are expected to have a more devastating impact on Beijing than the initial round, likely prompting China to renegotiate a new deal with the US.

Furthermore, Trump has threatened even higher tariffs (150 to 200 percent) on Chinese goods if China were to invade Taiwan. The Taiwan issue is considered one of the most critical geopolitical themes, with China viewing the island as a renegade province that must reunite peacefully with the mainland. Xi previously mentioned willingness to use force if necessary. While the US does not officially recognize Taiwan as a country, it serves as a primary arms supplier and key ally to the Taipei government.

In a recent statement to The Wall Street Journal, Trump suggested that military intervention might not be necessary to prevent a blockade of Taiwan, citing Xi's apparent respect for him. Xi's congratulatory message to Trump emphasized the benefits of cooperation over confrontation, highlighting historical examples of mutual gains through collaboration.
