## Resource

Watch the full podcast! https://chinauncensored.tv/programs/podcast-337 Donald Trump is like a rorschach test - if you think he's tough on China, you will see lots of evidence he's tough on China. And conversely, if you think he's soft on China, you'll find evidence of that too. But Trump is just being Trump, and that means he's likely in neither box. In this episode, Chris, Matt and Shelley discuss Trump speaking to Taiwan's president William Lai Ching-te, China's narrative warfare on Taiwan, and the Trump distortion field, among other things.
