president brimming with self-confidence who's determined to make china the world's economic powerhouse by 2025 but the usa remains in xi jinping is way. the power struggle is sending shock waves around the world with global companies caught between the 2 battling giants here's what c.e.o. of germany's siemens joe kayser recently told t w so yes it is the number 2 everybody's sort of knows well china will be number one at some point everybody knows that number one in the in the business segment should become number 2 whether i get. so fight and president trump has chosen as his key weapon import tariffs he's at one point or another imposed charges on almost all goods from china and bilateral trade fell almost 15 percent in 2019
