text: If this author's perspective of Trump is the same as the that of China's leadership it might be in for a rude awakening. Trump is likely to push trade issues. On this score the US is likely to act unilaterally under a Trump administration to reduce the US trade deficit with China. That means tariffs and America first policies.
  
  I foresee Trump setting a goal to cut or eliminate the US deficit with China by the end of his first term in office. That means a $200 billion hit to China's balance of payments. This could trigger big changes to China's economy and there is little the Chinese can do about it.
