Democrats are shifting focus from China after the US election.
After the US midterm elections, Democrats began to pay less attention to China as a political target. The pressure of high domestic living costs reduces willingness to engage in large-scale commercial conflicts. Beijing's response to the election results was muted. However, according to the publication, the US policy may still become stricter in the field of technological control.
This change indicates a narrower approach. Less attention to large-scale trade wars, more to targeted restrictions in strategic sectors. This is important because competition between the US and China is now being built less through consumer tariffs and more through control of technology.
The immediate result is not a reset of bilateral relations, but a change of emphasis. Trade may fall on the policy agenda, and export and technology restrictions will remain active policy tools.
