2017考研英语阅读：中国有足够信心与美国掰手腕 来源：智阅网 考试临近，剩余的这几天我们该如何准备，适当放松，还是继续坚持，建议考生们继续保持学习的状态，保持做题的题感，平时多阅读时政文章，积累新词汇，了解新动态。　US President-elect Donald Trump on Sunday publicly suggested that the one-China policy can be used as a bargaining chip to ask Beijing to make compromises in areas such as trade deals with Washington.
