China has been one of the favorite targets Donald Trump during his entire campaign, which accuses him of being embrenhada in an "economic war" with the US. But in Beijing, the victory of the republican was well received and seen up as a possible victory geopolitics. In Moscow also bet on a new era of relations, with immediate impact in the war of Syria.
Among the promises of Trump in relation to China is the adoption of a rate of 45% on the chinese products imported by the USA. But outside of the economic sphere, little more is known about the positions of the next american President, something that is seen positively by the chinese leadership. Unlike Hillary Clinton, Trump should not, for example, exert great pressure on China to respect human rights or to contain its territorial claims on the South Sea.
Trump has left some of the allies of long standing of the US in the Asia jumpy with the suggestion that countries such as Japan or South Korea should be responsible for their own defense. The demilitarisation of the japanese and the protection of South Korea have been the pillars of u.s. foreign policy. "The confidence of China will return, and the few [countries] in the region will have confidence on the ability of Washington to provide protection of the hegemony of the chinese east," writes the Foreign Policy.
The chinese President, Xi Jinping, said on Wednesday that want to work with Donald Trump to "defend the principles of non-conflict, non-confrontation, mutual respect, and cooperation winner". Beijing hopes to achieve progress with Trump that he could not with Hillary, analysts say.
"Trump – even being 'anti-China, anti-China, anti-China' – he spoke always in business. This is that the trigger and the chinese would be quite happy to do a deal with Trump if he were on top of the table", he said recently to the Guardian Harvard professor Roderick MacFarquhar.
One of the facts of the u.s. presidential campaign were the compliments exchanged between the Trump and the Russian President, Vladimir Putin, who came to be accused of having attempted to interfere directly in the elections. Trump praised the strong leadership of Putin – which compared to the weakness of Barack Obama and the Russian President defined the course as "brilliant", although the term that you used can also be understood as "extravagant".
The victory Trump was received literally with applause in the Russian Parliament. Putin sent a message to congratulá it by the election and expressed “hope to work together to remove the relations, Russian-american from its state of crisis.” Against the global trend, the stock market, the Russian opened on a high this Wednesday.
Trump has not hidden that it favors an approach to Russia, at a time when relations between the two countries have reached a level ice cream. The conflicts in Syria and Ukraine are the subjects of greatest divergence, and Trump has plans for them. On Ukraine, the President-elect devalued, for example, the annexation of Crimea by Russia. When asked about the matter, Trump replied: "Ok, he [Putin] is there a certain way." Trump also called into question the commitment of continuing to send american troops under NATO for the countries of Eastern Europe, who complain about the concentration of Russian military near its borders.
In Syria, the effects can be immediate. Several analysts predict that, with Trump, the US will abandon the support given to the rebels moderates who are fighting the forces of President Bashar al-Assad, and coordinate more closely the attacks with the Russian Air Force, concentrated in the self-proclaimed Islamic State.
