He's doing a great job handling China by imposing necessary tariffs. What most people don't know is China has a clearly defined plan to become the World's foremost economic power by 2025 -- it is called "Made in China 2025". It was unveiled in 2015 by the Chinese Prime minister and his cabinet. The plan is to increase production of Chinese goods by a whopping 70% by 2025, in a world which is already flooded by Chinese products. This includes high tech products in IT, robotics and pharmaceuticals, sectors in which the US dominates. Currently US pays 25% in tariffs to export certain products to China whereas China pays only 2.5% when they export to the US. This has been going on for a long time in the name of globalization. All Trump is doing is leveling the playing field.
