China-US trade war: Can Trump win?

Kishore Mahbubani, a Singaporean geostrategist, argues that while both China and the United States have benefited from globalization, U.S. President Donald Trump’s proposed policy to bring factory jobs back to the U.S.—a strategy he fears will worsen income inequality—is unlikely to achieve much success. Meanwhile, Mahbubani believes the current trade war is contributing to China's challenges but sees the country as resilient due to its long-term strategic goals. He also suggests that the U.S.'s disarray in crafting an export policy could be a strategic advantage for China, as it may force the world’s second-largest economy into a more favorable position.
