Trump’s new China Doctrine replaces confrontation with managed engagement. The Kuala Lumpur truce stabilizes ties while preserving U.S. leverage.

Trump, the self-styled dealmaker who once waged an economic war on China, is now preparing to rewrite history—on his own terms. The same man who tore apart decades of bipartisan engagement with Beijing is poised to relaunch it, not as a gesture of goodwill, but as an assertion of power. In…
