Summary

Donald Trump has reportedly invited Chinese President Xi Jinping to his January 20 presidential inauguration, though Xi’s response is unclear.

Trump’s transition team has also considered inviting other world leaders, including Hungary’s Viktor Orbán.

Known for his tough stance on China, Trump has named prominent China hawks like Marco Rubio and Mike Waltz to key positions.

Trump plans to reintroduce tariffs on Chinese imports and restrict Chinese ownership of U.S. assets.

    Every time someone has suggested Trump would start WWIII, I have said the same thing- Trump will not start WWIII, Trump will start 1984.

        Because why have a costly world war when you don’t need to? Just let the three big ones do whatever they want, maybe fight a proxy war or two in the third world and you’ve got Orwell’s 1984.
