In a recent statement, former US President Donald Trump drew attention by saying he has respect for China and called the country's president a 'great leader.'
The remarks come amid complex developments in US-China relations. According to Kyodo News, Trump emphasized his personal respect for China and offered praise for President Xi Jinping.
Previously, during his presidency, Trump made mixed statements about China, including both criticism and cooperative gestures. This time, calling President Xi a 'great leader' suggests a shift in the former US president's approach to China issues.
There has been no official response from China regarding this statement. However, analysts believe Trump's remarks could influence public opinion and his upcoming election campaign, as he seeks to build an image of a pragmatic leader in foreign relations.
