This is in such sharp contrast to the "golden period" of China-British relations, under former British prime minister David Cameron. This poses at least two questions. Why did this change occur? What general lessons can be drawn from it?

As the US' political center, Washington has always been the focus of global attention. Most of the recent news regarding the US' election happened in Washington DC. But there is another, perhaps more important, center in the US, and that is New York City. That's why terrorists targeted the twin towers of the World Trade Center, next to Wall Street, in New York on September 11, 2001.
