This reads like more of a trade piece. China is seen as a more reliable trade partner.

I would argue that they are looking better for more than that. Politics aside, they are actively pursuing better technologies and methods to curb climate change, have firm predictable stances on most anything, whether you agree with them or not, and they generally seem to stick to a plan or agreement.

The biggest elephant in the room with them seems to be Taiwan and their record of human rights issues. Which, although terrible, are still somewhat predicable.

It’s wild to me that we are in a universe where this is happening, however compared to the US, where every day seems to bring a new flavour of uncertainty and ridiculousness, no wonder.
