Former US National Security Advisor Robert O'Brien says the United States can maintain a workable relationship with China ... as long as Beijing doesn't take military action against Taiwan or the Philippines.
O'Brien told Foreign Affairs that Trump's current term is dominated by rebuilding the U.S. military, securing the southern border and managing crises in Ukraine, Gaza and Iran" and ... "As long as the Chinese stay out of Taiwan and don't invade Taiwan, and hopefully don't invade and take over Scarborough Shoal and invade the Philippines, I think we can probably get along with the Chinese."
O'Brien, currently the head of geopolitical advisory firm American Global Strategies added that Trump "felt in his gut" that Chinese leader Xi Jinping wouldn't launch an attack on Taiwan or the Philippines while Trump is in office.
