President Trump will enact a series of hardline policies during his final 10 weeks to cement his legacy on China, senior administration officials with direct knowledge of the plans tells Axios.
Why it matters: He'll try to make it politically untenable for the Biden administration to change course as China acts aggressively from India to Hong Kong to Taiwan, and the pandemic triggers a second global wave of shutdowns.
Watch for National Intelligence Director John Ratcliffe to publicly describe in granular detail intelligence about China's nefarious actions inside the U.S. Details: Trump officials plan to sanction or restrict trade with more Chinese companies, government entities and officials for alleged complicity in human rights violations in Xinjiang and Hong Kong, or threatening U.S. national security.
The administration also will crack down on China for its labor practices beyond Xinjiang forced labor camps. But don't expect big new moves on Taiwan or more closures of Chinese consulates in the U.S., officials say. National Security Council spokesperson John Ullyot told Axios, "Unless Beijing reverses course and becomes a responsible player on the global stage, future U.S. presidents will find it politically suicidal to reverse President Trump’s historic actions."
Behind the scenes: Senior administration officials are discussing expanding a Defense Department list of Chinese companies deemed to have ties to the Chinese military.
An executive order issued last week barred U.S. investment in 31 such companies, and any additions would likely face a similar restriction.
Officials plan to target China's growing use of forced labor in the highly competitive fishing industry. Coerced and unpaid labor isn't just a human rights concern — it can also give Chinese fisheries an advantage over rivals in an industry with geopolitical significance. Trump officials have been looking to move more hawkish China experts into senior roles across

Final 10 weeks?????? Ha...I pray just the beginning
Axios.... YAWN
Never mind “senior administration officials with direct knowledge of the plans”. All the anonymous bigmouths abound once more.
Leading off with an assumption like that proves the source is uninformed
Axios, the scion of Politico, and never ending rabid left wing misinformation, lies and propaganda—never let the truth get in the way of the agenda.
This claim has been debunked.../s
Jonathan Swan is highly regarded. He has better connections to insiders in the Trump administration than most. He’s reliable.
Yeah but I’ll see your Yawn and add Crap
I don’t even consider a Biden presidency. I think that Team Trump is analyzing computer data, ballots, machines, people, everything to construct an undeniable presentation to be given to the world about MASSIVE corruption and election tampering. I think Biden is disqualified, Trump is re-inaugurated and the Deep State is scattered to the winds.

If this isn’t a big focus in the next few weeks for the Trump administration, it’s going to have a huge impact in coming years if the electoral results don’t end up in Trump’s favor. There are many fronts in the fight for America’s future, and China is certainly one of them. If there is a Biden administration, there’s going to be a huge memory hole around how awful China is, and it is going to encircle all of the media. Combatting the media blackout on China wrongdoing is going to be a full time job. Get ready.
This is propaganda. The point is to create a negative and false narrative for some possible exposures that are coming.
President Trump will enact a series of hardline policies during his final 10 weeks...
Sooo, 2024?
...or the Biden administration ...
A message from President Elect Steven Tyler.
There is no such thing as a Biden Administration.
That is a fake news hit piece.
Go about your business.
Have a nice day!
I pray it is so.

China is less than thrilled with Trump because he didn’t keep his word about a deal they made. So glad Xi congratulated #PresidentElectBiden . Good start.
His final 10 weeks? Why wait until 2025? Let's crackdown on China now?
(I know, I know, just poking the leftists who lurk here.)
