China both hopeful and on edge as Trump returns to White House
BEIJING (Reuters) -Chinese officials and ordinary people are hopeful but on edge as Donald Trump returns to the White House, eager to avoid a repeat of the bruising trade war that drove a wedge between the economic superpowers during his first term. Chinese Vice President Han Zheng, in meetings with Tesla CEO Elon Musk and other members of the U.S. business community in Washington ahead of Trump's inauguration, said he hoped U.S. companies would "take root" in China and help to stabilise bilateral relations, according to the official Xinhua news agency. When Trump was last president, he heaped tariffs on more than $300 billion of Chinese imports.

Taiwan's Compal, Inventec mull US expansion to counter Trump tariffs
Taiwanese contract laptop makers Compal and Inventec may expand into the United States with Texas eyed as one of the top locations, their executives say, as they prepare for President-elect Donald Trump's threatened tariffs.

His threat of 25% tariffs on Mexico, in particular, has worried several Taiwanese companies, as many have invested in domestic manufacturing to build components that go into electric vehicle to artificial intelligence (AI) servers for North America.
