Donald Trump’s return to the White House reflected a shift in US domestic politics and will mark a shift in foreign policy. Under the second Trump administration, people expect to see continuity but none would be surprised if deviation from his first term occurs. This talk aims to explore the conditions under which Trump 2.0 would differ in China policy, and assess how US policy toward China may shape the US-China-Taiwan relations and peace and stability in the Indo-Pacific region. To begin with, it is worth noting the highlights of the China policy under Trump 1.0, comparing it to Biden’s efforts, and thus laying the foundation for our understanding of the China policy under Trump 2.0. Taiwan plays a crucial role in this dynamic US-China relations, and this talk will address the momentum Taiwan has in affecting this trilateral relationship.
