The Trump team made a re-election plan and spent a whole chapter writing "China"

On August 23, local time, the Trump campaign team announced the core priority of "Trump's second term agenda" on the Trump campaign website, with the theme of "Fighting for you".

According to the summary of the agenda published on the website, these "core priorities" are divided into 10 themes, namely, employment, eradicating COVID-19, ending our dependence on China, health care, education, draining swamps, defending the police, ending illegal immigration and protecting American workers, innovating for the future, and giving priority to American foreign policy.

It is worth noting that although the theme is "the priority foreign policy of the United States", China is singled out in the agenda, ranking third, just ahead of two items: employment and eradication of COVID-19.

Regarding the theme of "ending our dependence on China", the agenda lists some key points, including: bringing back 1 10,000 manufacturing jobs from China; Provide tax incentives for companies that bring back jobs from China; 100% reduction in the cost of bringing manufacturing business back to the basic industries (pharmaceutical and robot industries) in the United States; Companies that outsource their business to China will not get federal contracts.

In response to the domestic epidemic, Trump's routine operation is to pull China out. Therefore, it is worth noting that under the theme of China's discussion on employment and manufacturing, he suddenly wrote the fifth point: "Let China take full responsibility for the global spread of the virus".
