      I suppose I shouldn't be so nationalist, but it worries me that a bad president may weaken the US exactly when China is becoming strong.

      Are the Chinese bummed that Trump won, or rubbing their hands with glee? Pretty easy to answer that one.

          I don't think the world is that zero-sum. Trump is bad for US and rest-of-world. Weaker US isn't better for China IMHO.

          It's not better for China absolutely, but it is relatively, which those who care about national power would take.

          They don't need it as much. They have 3x America's population.

          that's very true. But they are realizing the value of foreigners to get more innovative and more global (it's what I perceived there)

          they’re anxious. They have a good thing going with a massive trade surplus with US. They likely aren’t thinking zero-sum.

          instability or protectionism from a trade partner is not good. They’ve been dealing with rolling “economic imbalances” for a while

          I suspect that China would rather be very worried, because Trump is going to start a trade war that no one can win.

          No they're not. China is losing manufacturing to cheaper markets not more expensive markets.

          they aren't worried about manufacturing competition, they are worried about it being harder to sell goods to the US

          Chinese here, in long term, both will get hurt. Trump is building wall around US, and making enemies.

          I wonder whether the Kremlin & the Chinese have the same view of Trump, regardless of his apparent preference for one over the other.

          It hurts China in short term, but is also an opportunity from strategic view.
