Trump could come at a steep

Beijing’s interest in a potential grand bargain with Trump could come at a steep price. Indeed, the only outcome of a second trade war that might be more inimical to the region’s security than a downward spiral in US–China relations would be a ‘G2’ deal that trades away US security commitments in exchange for promises from China that are unlikely to materialise. Beijing will almost certainly use the prospect of a grand bargain to advance its goal of undermining US alliances and commitments across the region. This will undo the Biden administration’s work to fortify and stitch together US partners to cope with the China challenge in the coming decade. สล็อต
