TRUMP TURNS DOVISH ON CHINA
US PRESIDENT Donald Trump is about to reveal himself as a China dove. He will arrive in Beijing for meetings on Thursday and Friday looking for friendly co-operation—and, amazingly, it is not entirely fake.

At the meeting, China’s leadership will helpfully browse Donald Trump’s sales list -- Boeing aircraft, US farm produce, and various fuels like LNG.

Trump in turn will consider backing off on US sanctions -- such as the chip sales barrier that has killed Nvidia’s sales in China, and the fake “slave labor” accusations that are preventing Chinese Uyghur people from exporting their products.

But is this all a pretense?

Actually no.

RELATIVELY DOVISH

If you look back at Trump’s utterances over years, editing out the knee-jerk hostile stuff, you can see that he has long had a relatively dove-ish streak on China. Same with JD Vance. They are money-focused people so want a positive relationship with the world’s second biggest economy.

They like the rich. China as a nation has a LOT of money. They see everyone as potential customers.

But here’s the issue. While Trump and JD Vance are relative doves, their teammates in the Trump Administration are China hawks: Hegseth, Colby, and Rubio, want to stick to the old plan, where the US creates problems in Taiwan and then uses that as an excuse to start a war.

At the moment, Trump’s pragmatic, dove-ish attitude is on top.

ENDING DEMONIZATION

For more evidence of this, consider this fact: Donald Trump is slapping down some of China’s nastiest enemies. I know! It sounds absurd, but that’s what’s happening.

His written game-plan for the immediate future includes the de-funding of the notorious National Endowment for Democracy, a conflict-creation group that took over the CIA’s international political manipulation activities.

With astonishing candidness, the Trump administration’s proposed 2027 budget describes the NED as a group which works to quote “destabilize sovereign governments with whom America is not at war”.

Correct. No mainstream media organization will print that, but people like me and other independent journalists have been saying this for years, literally.

Guardian, the New York Times, BBC, other mainstream media outlets—why have you never had the courage to say that? Why is Trump more honest than you are?

NED should be defunded, Trump believes, because the US does not need quote “a shadow State Department fomenting anti-American sentiment and global unrest with no constitutional oversight and ready access to hard-earned taxpayer funds”.

This is also correct. The NED creates “global unrest” and does it so clumsily that it ends up creating “anti-American sentiment”.

BRAINWASHING RIGHT NOW

Now it’s also important to know that NED is not yesterday’s problem – it is today’s problem. If you live in Hong Kong or Taiwan or UK or the USA, there are people in your community, right now, collecting cash from the NED to make you hate the Chinese.

In the most recent budgeting period, 2025, it spent $13,106,125 on hate farming for the Chinese. Since China, wisely, does not allow NED projects on its soil, the money physically goes elsewhere.

This is not speculation. NED funding amounts can be seen in its annual reports—one was published recently.

The cash goes to groups who push the Uyghur genocide hoax, it goes to cultivate the “China killed Hong Kong” lie, it pays staff working to polarize residents of Taiwan, and it tries to revive the CIA’s notorious Tibet operations.

Whenever you see statements from individuals who are part of groups like World Uyghur Congress, that’s NED is trying to brainwash you.

Donald Trump wants to kill it.

Marco Rubio wants to keep it.

Defunding of the NED is in the 2027 budget plan – so the dove-ish tendency is on top at the moment.

POSITIVE OUTLOOK

One last thing – the new positive relationship between the leaders of China and the US is happening just as the property markets in Hong Kong and mainland China are recovering.

And that’s going to get the foreign direct investment people interested. All in all, there’s a positive outlook, in this part of the world at least.

But don’t celebrate too early. The so-called O Plan, or operational plan, for a US war on China, is still live—and all the preparations for it are continuing without a pause. We may be in a relatively brief period of peace.
