Heritage’s James Carafano: Trump Administration Has ‘Flipped the Script’ on China

EXCERPT:

CARAFANO: "Well, I think one of the things that the administration has done really smart is they have kind of flipped the script. Before it was let’s look for ways not to antagonize China. This administration says no, let’s do the opposite. Let’s find the push point between us and China so they know where they are pushing against our interests. They have done that across the board. Where I think they have been smart is they have a practice what we call linkage. They have kind of kept everything in the same lane. I think the trade negotiations, they are in a lane all their own. What happens in Hong Kong and the U.S. Observances and comments and criticism of that, both sides are going to keep those separate."
