Trump and commerce secretary differ on China stance
US President-elect Donald Trump's nominee for commerce secretary is a critic of China, despite being an avid collector of Chinese contemporary art. Wilbur Ross, a private equity billionaire, has echoed Trump's calls to get tough on trade with China. However, Ross differs from Trump when it comes to beliefs about the value of the yuan. Last year, Ross told Bloomberg the currency was overvalued, not undervalued as Trump stated during his campaign. Among Ross' $100m art collection is a painting by celebrated Chinese artist Liu Bolin.
