Name one Trump policy that gave any power to China.

@JoePourMan The bilateral trade deficit rose during Sleepy Baby-trump’s first two years and is now around the same size as when Sleepy took office.

U.S. goods exports to China have fallen every year since 2017. Manufacturing jobs have not returned to the USA as Sleepy Baby-trump claimed it would.

Most of China’s nefarious trade and cyber practices have continued or even expanded during Sleepy Baby-trump's watch.

Anyone with an internet connection knows this is not the result of Trump policy.
President Bill Clinton in 2000 pushed Congress to approve the U.S.-China trade agreement and China's accession to the WTO, saying that more trade with China would advance America's economic interests.
Economically, this agreement is the equivalent of a one-way street.
U.S. trade deficit went from$83.0 billion in 2001 to $375.2 billion in 2017

@JoePourMan In case you have lost track, 2000 was 20 years ago. Now, in the last 4 years what has Sleepy Baby-trump done to reverse it?

@MarkPaul He can't wave a magic wand and fix it.
US trade deficit shrinks in 2019 for first time in six years. The trade deficit with China
plunged ny 777 17.6% in 2019.

@JoePourMan But, he can wave a magic wand to eliminate the coronavirus? And, he can wave a photo op to eliminate the nuclear threat from North Korea? I don't think so.

U.S. goods exports to China have fallen every year since 2017. On your calendar, when did Sleepy Baby-trump become president (on TV)?
@MarkPaul well now china just relabels their products.. and producing jobs in places liek vietnam and maylasia... making those countries dependent on them, which was their plan all along... and all the extra cost is paid by american customers...
