Certainly not someone who has been to communist China 30 times.

"And then, lo and behold, China's approval of one of Trump's trademark applications became official"coincidentally only a few days after Trump reversed his previous position and endorsed the "one China" policy. This policy effectively recognizes the People's Republic of China as the legitimate government of the mainland territory while allowing the U.S. government to have unofficial relations with Taiwan, governed by the Republic of China. In March 2017, China granted preliminary approval for 38 additional Trump trademarks, applications for which had been submitted in April 2016.

In February, in its first major real estate transaction after Trump's inauguration, the Trump Organization sold a $15.8 million penthouse apartment in Trump Tower to Chinese-American business executive Xiao Yan Chen, who also goes by the name Angela Chen and has been directly linked to a front group for Chinese military intelligence through the misleadingly innocuous-sounding China Arts Foundation.

Trump has been dependent on Chinese money for quite a while. According to an investigation by The New York Times, Trump holds 30 percent ownership of an office building in Manhattan at 1290 Avenue of the Americas, for which four lenders, including the state-owned Bank of China, provided a $950 million loan in 2012. Commenting on the loan, Richard Painter, George W. Bush's chief White House ethics lawyer, stated, "Any payments from foreign governments or payments from banks controlled by foreign governments would fall under the emoluments clause. The loans from the Bank of China could be an issue." The Emoluments Clause of the U.S. Constitution makes it illegal for a U.S. president to directly benefit from payments from foreign powers.

And, not surprisingly, Ivanka Trump also seems to be suddenly benefitting from all this newfound Chinese largesse. On the very same day that President Trump and Ivanka met with Chinese President Xi Jinping, China preliminarily approved three new trademarks for Ivanka's brand to cover jewelry, bags, and a spa service."
