to "go ahead with building" the concentration camps where the Chinese government has imprisoned millions of Uighur Muslims, according to the book. Bolton also said Trump didn't want to get involved with Hong Kong's democratic protests because "we have human rights problems too."
Trump pulled this move just a few weeks ago. After China passed a security bill that will curtail Hong Kong's legal autonomy, Trump gave a press conference announcing a series of toothless measures that scared absolutely no one. Again, none of this makes Trump a China hawk. But it doesn't make him a dove either. He has no real intention of make China more democratic or pushing it toward a market-based economy. He just wants to do deals that make him look effective to his base so he can win reelection and look important with the authoritarian leaders who Trump clearly admires.. As long as the trade deal on which he was hanging his political aspirations was in play Trump was willing to bargain.
