China Is Wary Of U.S. Candidate's Tough Talk

China is always a topic among presidential debate discussions and they have been accustomed to this, however in the past debate China was brought into the discussion 22 times, all of which were in a negative way. This usually goes away after the election, however leaders and business executives think our relationship with China may not bounce back to normal so quickly after this election. The debates this year have accused China of unfair trade practices as well as sparked discussions of whether or not it is right for presidential candidates to invest in Chinese based companies. A couple of other reasons the U.S. Chinese relationship has weakened over the past few years is differences in trade ideas as well as a fear that China is infringing on the United State's influence in Asia. It is expected that China will be a hot topic in the next debate so it will be interesting to see how this all plays out, and even more interesting to see how the relationship continues after the election.
