Shaun Rein with China Market Research Group and author of “The War for China’s Wallet” said China is no longer stealing jobs from the United States, so he said if Trump hopes to move jobs back to America it is an “unwinnable war.” 

“That ship has sailed decades ago,” he said. 

He said Chinese officials will give enough “economic crumbs” to the Trump administration to placate it, but China will not simply unblock Facebook or Twitter and allow U.S. internet giants to operate freely because the leadership is keen on controlling information.
