Not sure I understand. Are you saying China wants to help Trump win the next election?
IMO, that is unnecessary. None of the Democrat front-runners have any chance of beating Trump.

The most Trump can do is just another 4 years, until 2024. The Democratic Party will last a lot longer. For China, Trump is just a temporary obstacle. Democratic party, on the other hand, is a long term threat. Using Trump to bash the Democratic Party wouldn't be a bad idea.
Why oh why is the Dutch even bother with this? What and where is the gain?
It is going to be nothing but pain for them if they push ahead with this!
Brussels, Oct. 8 (CNA) The Netherlands' House of Representatives overwhelmingly passed a motion Tuesday calling on the country's government to support Taiwan's participation in international organizations, the first such resolution in the body's history.
The measure, which passed with a 132-18 margin, urges the government to explore feasible actions under the European Union framework to support Taiwan's participation in international organizations and global affairs, according to a statement by the Taipei Representative Office in the Netherlands.
Representative Chen Hsin-hsin (陳欣新) thanked the House for its support and said she looks forward to strengthening cooperation between the two countries in international affairs.
The bill's bipartisan sponsors noted that in light of recent diplomatic pressure from China, it is especially important that the Netherlands shows its support for like-minded nations such as Taiwan, according to the statement.
Taiwan has lost two of its diplomatic allies -- the Pacific island nations of Kiribati and the Solomon Islands -- in recent weeks amid a diplomatic pressure campaign from China, reducing its total number of allies from 17 to 15. (Tang Pei-chun and Matthew Mazzetta)

Western nations simply cannot accept the fact that their civilization is being eclipsed by the rise of China, so they will do everything in their power to hinder, obstruct, and sabotage.

Bill Gertz as a journalist? It gives the HK "journalists" even a bad name. He is a propagandist of the worst kind.

Decades ago in the San Francisco Bay Area invasive water species from Asia started showing up in the waters in the bay. Evironmentalists blamed it on the Asian-American cummunity for introducing these species accusing them hoping they would expode in population so they can be harvested for food. It was later discovered that they were introduced into the bay because cargo ships travelling to and from between Asia and San Francisco would blow their ballasts into the local waters where these invasive species would be introduced.
Environmentalists are trying to blame the great garbage patch of the Pacific on China. Notice no one bothers to identify this garbage which would be simple to do? If it were China I'm sure they would report it on the news. It's like if they don't mention the race of a murderer, it means he's white. Ironically because of China's ban on the West's contaminated recycles is the reason why we know how the self-proclaimed environnmentally conscience countries are responsible guilty of shipping most of their garbage to the developing world especially in Asia. British celebrity Jeremy Clarkson was filming his show at an undisclosed beach in a Southeast Asia country and noted on twitter he was blaming China for all the garbage he saw on the beach. He unapologetically cursed China for it. A lot of Western garbage shipped to these countries are dumped on land near the water. The poor people in these areas live in a garbage dump and some how we're suppose to believe that garbage never gets into the ocean? How about the shipping companies who already got paid to ship this garbage to Asia looking to save money and just dump it in the ocean saving having to go all the way to Asia?
