Trump has appointed Peter Navarro to a key position in the administration requiring expertise on, and an ability to work with, China.

In the world of professional economists, as is to be expected, Navarro is considered to be the crackpot's crackpot.

Navarro has been Trump's economic advisor.  That explains a lot.
