Despite the current administration carrying over many of former President Donald Trump’s policies on China, Don Trump Jr. thinks President Joe Biden will eventually fold under pressure from the Chinese Communist Party.
“He’s not getting lighter on any of these guys,” Trump Jr. told the Washington Examiner in an exclusive interview. “He’s just outright quitting and folding, and that should be apparent to anyone with a brain.”

Shortly after entering office, Biden ordered a full review of the Trump administration’s China portfolio. Though he rescinded a Trump-era order blocking transfers of some technology companies with links to the Chinese military, the bulk of Trump’s policies remain on the books.
The Washington Examiner pointed out to Trump Jr. that Biden, similar to Trump, has prioritized supply chain resiliency, pushed manufacturing companies to create jobs in the states rather than in China’s cheap labor markets, and called for total transparency and cooperation from Beijing into inquiries of the pandemic’s origins. However, the former first son said the “results” will eventually tell a different story.
“I have a feeling China’s going to get a really good return on their investment into Hunter Biden,” he said, referring to his father’s campaign trail claims that Hunter Biden used his father’s influence as vice president to line his pockets, something the now-president says was not done.
“I have a feeling none of those things are going anywhere,” the Trump Jr. said.

“All I’ve seen is job-killing policies,” Trump Jr. continued. “So you know, I’m pretty confident that that’s what’s going to happen. In the end, the media will, again, they will be the marketing arm of the Democratic Party — they’ll try to make it seem like it’s something other than that. But I don’t imagine anything real is going to happen.”
For his part, Biden was asked Monday during a press conference at the end of a NATO summit how allies could expect him to keep his promises. One of those is pushing back harder on China.
“I believe that by us standing up and saying what we believe to be the case, not engaging in the — the overwhelming hyperbole that gets engaged in by so many today, that we,” Biden told reporters, pausing, “I guess that old expression: ‘The proof of the pudding is in the eating.”
