US announces withdrawal from TPP

China has more cards than 2017 America;besides industrial capacity we're the biggest trading nation in the world, and after Davos and Brexit, the focus of world economics is going to be centred on OBOR

China is not near to have more cards than the U.S , there is still one decade left for that to happen. This is why the Party is ordering State medias to tone down the anti Trump rethoric or this is why the government is not drumming up the rethoric.

A careful balancing is strongly need otherwise of you will fall in the "German trap".

Now for OBOR its another things, as I said U.S under a hostile Trump could well sabotage , Chinese projects. You know he isn't going to sit and watch.

The guy has a clunky wordlview for him anyrhing is business.

The guy could well offer technological upgrade to India , Vietnam and Japan just to get back at China.

His way if seing everything as a cuthroat competitions could well be an asset for him. There is still areas where China cannot compete yet and the U.S has a net advantage.
