ABSTRACT
This chapter opens by examining Sino-U.S. trade, which links the world's two largest economies. It examines how this relationship plays out unevenly among China's provinces. It then offers an ethnographic account of pro-Trump Chinese internet users, roughly 15,000 participants in a discussion board on Baidu. Many argue that Trump's policies toward China will cause its government to slow down its export-oriented growth strategy in favor of one more oriented toward domestic priorities, implicitly rebuking the authoritarian regime. Some share Trump's anti-Muslim sentiments. As in the U.S., Trump has enabled racists and xenophobes in China.
