According to Bloomberg, the demands on the U.S. are as follows:Do not interfere in the Taiwan issue.Refrain from pressuring China regarding human rights.Do not question China's political system.Respect China's right to its own economic development.In essence, only the last demand can be interpreted as economic. "This means that the major negotiations on trade terms between China and the U.S. are essentially political bargaining. And considering the scale of the countries, these are political negotiations about a new world order."If the negotiations are successful, it will mean the recognition by the U.S., and thus the West, of the acceptability of China's political distinctiveness and, in particular, an agreement to the global political ambitions of the world's largest non-democracy.It is not a given that the trade agreement reached by Trump will last long, but for now, it will solidify something akin to a bipolar model of global security.Part of these political agreements between the U.S. and China should also be the end of the Russian-Ukrainian war. Therefore, if Trump and Xi do agree on trade and, in general, on stable economic cooperation (and, in essence, on new political influences in the world), it is more good than bad.SourceAbout the author.
