George Chen in The New York Times: ‘I think Beijing is more confident than ever in dealing with Trump’

Trump has shown a willingness to defy Washington consensus on China. He has approved some Nvidia chip sales to the country, helped broker a deal to keep TikTok operating in the U.S. and delayed announcing a package of arms sales to Taiwan.

“I think Beijing is more confident than ever in dealing with Trump,” George Chen, a Hong Kong-based partner at the Asia Group, a public policy consulting firm, told DealBook.
