US looking inward under Trump made development space for China, expert says

AI Summary

short article 2 min

A Chinese think tank expert, Ni Feng, suggests China should leverage its internal stability and progress amidst the global uncertainty caused by the Trump administration's inward-looking policies. Speaking at a Shanghai Development Research Foundation event on January 15th, Ni stated that the US's strategic retrenchment creates opportunities for China's development. He believes the US's utilitarian approach increases external risks, making it crucial for China to focus on its own development rather than passively reacting to US policy changes. Ni's comments reflect growing global concerns about the impact of Trump's "America First" agenda on the international order, as highlighted by recent events and strategic documents.
