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.

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.

I wouldn't be surprised if they announce soon an H1B visa type program to attract there the talent that will be rejected here

They may want the Hugo Barras of the world.

Chinese manufacturers are terrified
-
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

Seems it's going to be an interesting and bumpy ride for most involved.

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.
