Remember, China is not a free country, banking and the financial systems are run by the CCP. Xi does a lot of PR for the external world but internally he is under a lot of pressure from the forces who really run China.
Trump knows this and that’s why he keeps turning the handle of the vise.
It is interesting that Xi and the party have been increasing control recently as they are under increased stress and pressure. Trump is a major threat to them as he has displaced their appointment for the economic throne and slowed the wealth redistribution from our nation to China AND he is showing the Chinese people (who respect him) what freedom can do for a nation and people.
The real question may be “how does this all end?”
