“Donald Trump, whose trade war with China has upended global supply chains and imperilled the world’s economic growth, would be most welcomed with another four years in the White House because he is easier to read than other American politicians, said the negotiator who led China’s entry into the World Trade Organization,” the South China Morning Post reports.
“The US president’s daily Twitter posts broadcast his every impulse, delight and peeve to 67 million followers around the world, making him ‘easy to read’ and ‘the best choice in an opponent for negotiations,’ said Long Yongtu, the former vice-minister of foreign trade and point man during China’s 15-year talks to join the WTO nearly two decades ago.”
Said Long: “We want Trump to be re-elected; we would be glad to see that happen.”
