Key Notes
He argues that targeted sanctions on Russian business elites removed their Western option and unified them around Putin, whereas broad U.S. pressure on China allegedly leaves Chinese business elites able to resist Xi Jinping.
Jiang says Putin wants a visibly close relationship with China but does not need China to act; China only needs to avoid working with America.
He argues that Xi-era nationalism and assertiveness meant China did not fully enforce American IP demands, using Huawei's rise against Apple as an example of Chinese copying-plus-optimization.
He says Xi's phrase 'strategic stability' means acceptance of the present status quo, including U.S. control of the Western Hemisphere and America's determination to keep fighting in Iran until it wins.
Jiang says Xi and Trump are scheduled to meet four times in 2026, with Trump's April state visit to China as the key event for renegotiating the economic relationship for the next five to ten years.
Jiang predicts there will not be a China-Taiwan war; instead he expects a major 2026 Trump-China rapprochement, including an April state visit to China, because Trump will trade Taiwan for Chinese financial support.
Jiang predicts Trump will guarantee that the United States will not support Taiwanese independence and may even announce a timeline with Xi for Taiwan's political reunification with China.
