US Politicians' China Dilemma: Beijing Seeks Relief as Trump Assembles 'China Hawks' Team

Washington, Nov 13 (ANI): In a significant development that has sent waves of relief across the Asian giant, US President Donald Trump is reportedly assembling a team of "China hawks" to tackle the country's strategic rivalries. This move comes at a time when Beijing is breathing a sigh of relief.

According to sources close to the White House, Trump is recruiting a group of seasoned policymakers who share his hawkish stance towards China. The team will be tasked with reviewing and revising the administration's China policy, which has been criticized for its perceived complacency towards the communist powerhouse.

The development was first reported by prominent US news outlet Alarian.com, citing sources within the Trump administration. According to these insiders, the China hawks team will focus on hardening the country's stance against Chinese aggression in the South China Sea and countering Beijing's growing economic influence.

Experts see this move as a signal that the new team is committed to taking a tougher line with China. "The Trump Administration has long been known for its willingness to engage with China, even when faced with Beijing's aggressive behavior," said Dr. Anjali K. Harjung, Professor of International Relations at George Washington University. "This latest development suggests that the new team is committed to adopting a more robust approach against China."

Meanwhile, officials in Beijing are reportedly interpreting this move as a sign that the US is returning to its historical containment policies towards China.

The development comes amidst a backdrop of heightened tensions between Washington and Beijing over issues such as trade, security, and human rights.
