At the start of 2024, many expected Joe Biden and Donald Trump to run against each other in November. Biden aimed to campaign on a strong economy, but voters were critical of his handling of foreign affairs, especially the Gaza war. The deaths of thousands of Palestinians led to protests and fewer Democratic votes in swing states. Biden's age became an issue, leading Kamala Harris to replace him. Despite early enthusiasm, Harris could not defeat Trump, whose campaign gained momentum after two assassination attempts. Trump won the presidency and began preparing to deport millions of undocumented residents and threatened a government shutdown. His administration is set to take a different approach to foreign and domestic policies compared to Biden's term.

Despite the bluster from US officials threatening to slow down China’s economy, time is on China’s side, argues Chinese political analyst Victor Gao. Gao tells host Steve Clemons that the threats of extra taxes on Chinese goods coming to the US will hurt American consumers more than China. Gao predicts that, in the end, the US will forfeit relations with Taiwan to keep relations with China. If the US is worried about the flow of superconductor chips from Taiwan, China is open to ideas, including turning the entire island into one big free-trade zone, he says.
