However, the latest rout on all the three exchanges in China namely Beijing Stock Exchange, Shanghai Stock Exchange, and Shenzhen Stock Exchange are a result of Donald Trump. The former US President during his tenure at the White House enforced a trade war against China due to unfair trade practices and policies.

The US enforced tariffs on certain Chinese products while Beijing did the same. The trade confrontation resulted in massive losses for investors in the stock market. Now with Donald Trump winning every county in Iowa, his prospects of fighting the US election against incumbent Joe Biden is almost certain if not confirmed yet.

Under Joe Biden's Presidency, Beijing has seen a lenient approach to relations with China. Joe Biden's government has not been as aggressive as Donald Trump which allowed the resumption of trade of various commodities in an increased manner. If Donald Trump comes back to power, he could reverse the lenient policies and begin a new phase of trade war against China.
