China is waiting for Trump not to lead the world order

INDIA has become a focal point in Chinese diplomacy, shaped both by conflicts and the need to manage bilateral links. During the press conference during the third session of 14th The Congress of National Peoples last week, the Chinese Minister of Foreign Affairs Wang Yi used the metaphor of dance with Dragons and elephants Stressing that cooperation is the only viable path to follow.

Wangs' tone reflected prudent optimism towards India, positioning it as a key player with shared responsibilities in the challenge of hegemonism and the maintenance of international standards. He suggested that a Chinese-Indian partnership could promote a more democratic world order and accelerate regional development. Wang Yis' remarks also reported a Chinese response to the change in diplomatic dynamics, in particular following US President Donald Trumps America First Policies, who disrupted the American network alliances and forced Beijing to recalibre its strategy.

Trumps Role in Chinese diplomacy

While China refines its diplomatic approach, a large part is shaped by the evolutionary priorities of USBOTH as opportunities and challenges. The Chinese News and Opinion website Guancha has a section entitled Treat with the Trump shock waveAnalyzing the impact of the prevailing policies on China.

Jin Canrong, professor at the Renmin University School of International Relations, arguments This confrontation with China will remain at the heart of the trumps of the second term. In response, he pleads for strategic composure, domestic resilience and deeper diplomatic ties. He claims that with Chinese productivity now exceeding that of the United States, policies prevail over little real threat.

Jin rejects prevailing foreign policy as a babbling-sprum by excessive rhetoric, unpredictability and a lack of long-term strategy. He argues that despite his aggressive tone, policies prevail him for lack of coherence and tangible impact on the global position of Chinas. Although Trump has been in office for a few months, many already consider his return as more disruptive than the shock waves of his first mandate.

Tian Feilong, vice-dean of the Faculty of Law of Minzu Universities, strengthens this perspective. He support This prevails over policies have weakened American alliances, creating an opening so that China is positioning itself as a stable and cooperative world leader. China strengthens its own story of ancestry by depicting Trump leadership as a force that can ultimately weaken the West.

Diao Daming, deputy director of the Renmin University American Research Center, reasons that in response to the America First approach, China should adopt a more unified world role, stabilizing its course and progress. Likewise, the Shanghai Institute of International Studies Zhao Long strengths This strengthening of links in the region remains at the heart of Chinese diplomacy, in particular through global initiatives and governance reforms that amplify the votes of developing countries.

Transform dilemmas into opportunities

China also provides that American foreign policy will determine how allied nations, in particular American partners, are positioning themselves. Xiang Haoyu of the Chinese Institute for International Studies see Japan as a case study in this dilemma. By aligning with the United States against China, Japan hopes to contain Beijing, but if China-US tensions increase more, Japan risks becoming a losing collateral third party.

Chinese speech reflect Confidence in the diplomatic trajectory of Beijing, whether through chief diplomacy, commitment with emerging economies or navigation in the Trump dilemma. The position of the United States changing foreign policy should alienate the allies more and weaken security guarantees, creating a vacuum that China is eager to fill. The reports already indicate that Beijing intervenes following the suspension of the USAID in various signs of the strategic intention of Chinas.

Chinese diplomacy depends on its long-term objective to overcome the United States and reduce its influence. Beijing will do everything you need to position yourself as a more reliable partner than Washington, and the Trumps presidency's false steps could offer China the ideal moment for this. There is an increasing dynamic in Chinese discourse calling Beijing to assume a greater role of leadership in global affairs.

Trump 2.0 presents both challenges and opportunities for China. Its unpredictability remains a key obstacle. Some in China believe that this time, Asset will engage with China mainly as a businessmanMake your policies more transactional and potentially more manageable. More importantly, Washington alienates allies faster than expected, leaving a strategic opening for China not only in the region but also in the broader international order.
