The outgoing United States President has been very strict with Chinese tech firms following the trade talks that had dominated prior to the coronavirus outbreak. Citing security reasons, Trump has not only blacklisted Chinese tech firms in the United States but also influenced its allies in collaborating to. As a result, Chinese tech firms remain under siege in different markets thus giving United States-based tech firms a vantage point in the competition.

However, the Chinese counterparts seem to be playing a wait and see the game as the United States prepares to inaugurate incoming president Joe Biden in January.

Apparently, with the outgoing US president likely to vie for the seat again in 2024, there are possibilities he is putting in place fundamentals that the incoming administration to tamper with and thus use during his later campaigns.

How would people like those apples? And no-one’s talking about that yet,” said he.
