After
Trump’s presidential victory US-China relations plunged into an
unprecedented level of uncertainty. Trump frequently hit out at China
during his campaigning. Tension has since then been gradually building
up around bilateral relations.
Trump’s
threats throughout his campaign to raise import taxes on Chinese goods
in the US, the congratulatory phone call from Taiwan’s President Tsai
Ing-wen to Trump and later his blatant threats to the long-standing one
China policy despite the full knowledge that China itself does not even
recognize the existence of Taiwan's democratic government- are only some
of the issues that have led to China’s contentious attitude towards
Trump.
