Trump Unleashing Nationalist Support for Xi
The worry among government officials ... has reinforced concerns that his administration simply wants to contain China’s rise and have the US win at all costs.
China’s nationalist moment buys Xi time to find solutions for an economy that was already hobbled by a real estate crisis and deflationary slowdown before Trump’s tariffs, leading to rising social discontent.
Bloomberg Economics calculates that tariffs at the current levels could wipe out more than 80% of China’s exports to the US
The phrase “Comrade Trump builds China” is commonly used on China’s tightly controlled internet to show how he’s hurting the US.
Others have compared the president’s chaotic attacks on the bureaucracy to Mao Zedong’s Cultural Revolution, when red guards were deployed to destroy official institutions.
Xi faced some internal criticism for turning the nation into a target by abandoning former leader Deng Xiaoping’s “hide and bide” strategy, which called for keeping a lower international profile while quietly building strength.

Soong May-ling, ofta kallad Madame Chiang Kai-shek, född 5 mars 1897 i Shanghai, död 23 oktober 2003 i New York

Den 18 februari 1943 blev hon den första kines och den andra kvinna som talade till den amerikanska kongressens båda kamrar. Hon lyckades framgångsrikt med sitt uppdrag.
The Strange Rehabilitation of Chiang Kai-sek
An exhibit presenting a sympathetic view of Chiang and his wife Soong May-ling would once have been unthinkable, but the general, and in particular the role his Kuomintang forces played in fighting the Japanese during World War II, has apparently undergone something of a historical re-evaluation in the People’s Republic.
The exhibit at Meilu Villa presents them as if they were simply successive leaders of the Chinese state: more John Adams and Thomas Jefferson than Abraham Lincoln and Jefferson Davis.
In 2005, the CCP and the KMT started high-level talks. Since then, Beijing has noticeably modified its propaganda strategy, and the KMT is no longer a rival but a trusted ally in the fight against Taiwanese pro-independence forces.
In particular, Chiang is praised for his “iron fist” crackdown on any pro-independence activity in Taiwan to “safeguard national integrity”.
It is historical irony that Chiang has become a symbolic link for the two sides across the Taiwan Strait. His memorial hall, as well as some other places in Taiwan where the late KMT leaders stayed, has become a major attraction for mainland tourists…
