Navarro将是川普圈子里唯一的经济学者。他的观点，必然就是美国今后4年或者8年的政策！
Navarro是主攻中国经济和贸易的经济学者。他反共的激烈程度，比一般的反对派厉害得多、也深入得多。两年前他曾自筹经费拍了Death by China，里面显示他对中共对外对内的各种猫腻门儿清，绝不是对中国雾里看花的普通“中国通”。比老朽一代的基辛格眼光毒辣许多。
Navarro的贸易理念就是杜绝贸易赤字，也就是杜绝对手的顺差。这和中共在经济上几乎没有调和余地（但是美国可能在政治上配合交换，例如中共坚守人民币官方汇率、忍受美国单方面超高关税，而美国支持习包子对内巩固权力）。

WASHINGTON — President-elect Donald J. Trump on Wednesday named a stridentChina critic, Peter Navarro, to lead a new White House office overseeingAmerican trade and industrial policy, in the latest sign that Mr. Trump ismoving to reshape relations between the world’s two largest economies.
Mr. Trump also said the billionaire investor Carl Icahn would serve as aspecial adviser on regulatory issues, another area of economic policy inwhich the president-elect wants big changes.
The appointments reflect Mr. Trump’s ambition to increase economic growthby hammering at what he regards as critical roadblocks. He has promised toexpand American manufacturing by reducing federal regulation and bypreventing what he has described as unfair competition from Chinesemanufacturers. The choices of Mr. Navarro and Mr. Icahn also reflect Mr.Trump’s manifest preference for advisers who are loyal, and who do not havegovernment experience.
Mr. Navarro, 67, a professor at the University of California, Irvine, whoholds a doctorate from Harvard, is the only credentialed economist in Mr.Trump’s inner circle. He is the author of a series of jeremiads, includinga 2012 documentary film, “Death by China,” in which an animation of aChinese knife stabs a map of the United States and causes blood to runfreely. Mr. Navarro has said that China is effectively waging an economicwar by subsidizing exports to the United States and impeding imports from it. Mr. Trump, influenced by Mr. Navarro’s work, described this on thecampaign trail as “the greatest theft in the history of the world.”

Mr. Trump has said he will persuade Beijing to change its policies byapplying pressure, including designating China a currency manipulator;enforcing existing trade laws more vigorously; and, if necessary, imposing a45 percent tariff on Chinese imports. In a statement, Mr. Trump describedMr. Navarro as “a visionary economist” and said he would“develop tradepolicies that shrink our trade deficit, expand our growth and help stop theexodus of jobs from our shores.”
