Ambassador Xie Feng Trump second term critique: A Harsh Rebuke
On Thursday, January 15, 2026, Chinese Ambassador Xie Feng delivered a sharply worded critique of the Trump administration's approach to global relations. Addressing the 1,000-memberChina General Chamber of Commerce (CGCC), he described the past fortnight as a period battered by Washington's tumultuous strategies.
According to Reuters, Xie Feng emphasized that the world must choose between a path of stability led by Beijing and the unpredictability fueled by the current U.S. administration. This comes exactly two weeks into the second year of Trump's second term, a period marked by shifting alliances and renewed trade tensions.
