2. How China 'played the shrewder card' when dealing with Donald Trump 14.11.17 by Kanwal Sibal  http://www.dailymail.co.uk/indiahome/indianews/article-5078935/China-played-shrewder-card-dealing-Trump.html#ixzz4yNboDM1O

The US President had two principal issues to flog with China — reducing America's massive trade deficit and countering the North Korean nuclear threat. By seeking China's crucial support for defanging Pyongyang of its nuclear teeth, Trump has weakened his hand on pummelling Beijing on trade issues. He cannot solicit Chinese cooperation on one vital issue and threaten China on another. This implies absence of any recognition that its muscle flexing is causing unwanted tensions in the region. In sum, it remains unclear at the international level how forcefully Trump wants to respond to China's challenge to US power.

India has to keep watching.
