Beijing feels “more at ease” handling U.S. pressure than ever before, reveals foreign policy expert Liu Weidong in his analysis of Trump’s second presidency. In this interview, Liu argues China has gained valuable experience from Trump’s first term and is now better positioned to manage the bilateral relations. The conversation explores key aspects of the relationship, including trade policies, visa reforms and diplomatic strategies. Liu argues that although tensions will persist, China will pursue pragmatic diplomacy while protecting its core interests. He emphasizes that both nations must find ways to coexist despite competitive pressures, pointing to continued economic ties and people-to-people exchanges as essential stabilizing factors.
While the 47th U.S. president has declared a trade war on all nations, China has the strength to get ahead despite the complex rivalry.
The correct way for China and the U.S. to coexist is to reduce strategic misjudgments and—on the premise of respecting each other’s sovereignty, security and development interests—face global challenges together. Neither side should seek to reshape the other according to its own will.
Simply regarding China-U.S. science and technology relations as a zero-sum diplomatic game will undermine the far-reaching significance of science and technology cooperation.

We hope that the people of China and the United States can get along with each other like pomegranate seeds.
