Donald Trump’s trade war with China is becoming more problematic as China seeks growing relations with the African continent.
Trade between Africa and China has surged from $765 million in 1978 to over $170 billion in 2017, and is soon expected to reach $400 billion. According to the United National Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) World Investment Report 2018, China was the fourth largest foreign investor in Africa in 2016, spending about $40 billion. China was not too far behind the US, the UK, and France, and its rate of investment continues to grow a lot faster than the US can afford to keep up with.
Meanwhile, not too long ago, Trump was openly calling African nations "shithole-countries".
China is soon to be in "control" of Africa, as I assume that with their numerous investment deal signed by Xi himself in his various trips, he will follow up with military bases in the African nations as well. He has recently built a military base in Djibouti this year, following a huge investment in the country. Smart Move, he is definitely doing the necessary to control the South China Sea, if you look at the world map.
Xi also managed to increase with EU and Russia following the trade war, which gives them better position and relationship globally. Meanwhile, US is generally seen as an international "aggressor" as Trump aggressively pushes leverage a better economical position for America.
Trump seems to be losing to Xi as of now, and maybe this is his plan, maybe not, but it will be interesting to see how this trade war will turn out, and also how Trump will react, as China consolidates its power globally from the Trade war.

Many countries have been stealing trillions of dollars from America for decades, as in each year, trillions of dollars.

Yes I am aware of that, I think the sanctions are justified, and I am on America with this issue! I hope Trump's sanctions and future policies will bring back the dollars they have lost, it's just kind of sad that it does not seem to be doing the intended effect for now. Trump is suggesting to meet EU for a discussion regarding trade soon, I hope it goes well for America.

I was living in Vietnam for 5 years and Vietnamese love Korea and I ate at Lotteria and I am a fan of that famous singer PSY. I wish for the best for each country. It is good when each country does their best to help their own country first.
Trump does not have full control over America as there is deep state, stay behind networks, that try their best to rebel against what Americans want their government to do especially in regards to war and military presence and everything in many countries around the world. The good news is that patriots are trying to take back the government from the NWO, the swamp, the globalists, socialists, Chinese, Satanists.

I fear the deep state has too much control over resources and other materials that run this world, in politics and economics. Do you think that we can ever break away from them for good?
Yes, I agree that any country should fight for their own country, as long as their fight for right does not come at the expense of someone's else right!
Thank you, I'm glad you liked them!!!! (:

Life is not always about what will happen, in what can happen even, but rather it is in what we try to make happen. I believe in trying my best to make a difference in the world.
