A mural titled Smart Love depicts President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping locked in an amorous embrace, on a wall in Milan, Italy on June 29, 2019.Beijing's claims in the South China Sea overlap with several of its neighbors'. China has been broadcasting its diplomatic efforts to solve the problem, but Poling said the reality is that Beijing is using its revamped military to force the issue.
"China sees everything that moves on and above the South China Sea and is able to intervene in the lawful activities of its neighbors as never before," he added. The White House, Poling added,"seems committed to alienating" such partners, which could come back to bite the U.S. He did, however, give the administration credit for pushing the problem and awareness of forced technology transfers, which has advanced in recent years.
Trump's China policy will at least partially set the tone for his successor, whether they like it or not."Recognition that China is a strategic competitor is now bipartisan in Washington, so Trump's successor will almost certainly be more confrontational than the Obama administration," Poling predicted.
