Observing that China's conduct and attitude toward the world began to evolve 'once I left office,' Barack Obama surmised that Chinese President Xi Jinping sensed an opening when former President Donald Trump took command.
Observing that China's conduct and attitude toward the world began to evolve"once I left office," Obama surmised that Chinese President Xi Jinping sensed an opening when former President Donald Trump took command.“With my successor coming in, I think he saw an opportunity because the U.S. president didn’t seem to care that much about a rules-based international system,” Obama said, the Daily Mail reported.
Obama characterized the relationship between Washington and Beijing as"significantly strained" and contended that tensions are unlikely to"go away anytime soon." “The fact of the matter is, is that if China starts claiming what had previously been international waters, that is going to make life difficult for its neighbors and for everyone long term," he said."I don‘t even think it’s going to be good for China.”
At various times, Trump appeared to fawn over Xi's power. Former Trump national security adviser John Bolton alleged that Trump was unfazed by alleged human rights atrocities against the Uyghur minority population by the Chinese government.
