WASHINGTON - As trade talks resume between China and the United States, President Donald Trump’s advisers are confident he can portray his stance against Beijing as a strength in the 2020 election, despite making concessions and having no deal in sight.
But no deadline has been set for the process to conclude, leaving the possibility of a protracted negotiation that lasts well into next year and Trump’s re-election fight. The United States wants China to change what it considers unfair trade practices including intellectual property theft, forced technology transfer by U.S. companies to their Chinese counterparts, support for state-owned enterprises and currency manipulation.
Washington and Beijing were close to completing a deal in May when Chinese officials balked at requirements that it change its laws to implement reforms, U.S. officials have said. While other U.S. leaders have pressured China to change its business practices, Trump’s negotiating team arguably brought Beijing closer than it had ever come to an agreement to change.Still, Democrats, many of whom also favor a tough approach to China, see potential vulnerability for Trump in his approach.
“My personal advice to Trump ... when he’s asked me about it, is get a deal that you’ve got now and pick up a much harder line with China after you get re-elected,” he said. Democrats have criticized Trump’s tactics on China, while seeking to walk a careful line. Toughness against Beijing has significant bipartisan support.
