I will credit Trump with being serious about taking on China. I don't think Hillary would have been as motivated and I don't think Biden will if he wins. That said, its Trump's execution that is not good. For a person who is supposedly the king of deals. So, I think Trump should be applauded for taking on China in earnest. He just isn't capable of pulling it off.
