		</div><p>Donald Trump has named economist Peter Navarro to lead a newly created White House council on trade, in another sign that he intends to shake up relations with China.</p>
<p>The University of California-Irvine professor, who advised Mr Trump during the campaign, has sharply criticised China&#8217;s economic and military policies in books and videos. In addition to leading the new White House National Trade Council, Mr Navarro will be director of trade and industrial policy.</p>
<p>The Trump transition team said the creation of the council <i>&#8220;demonstrates the president-elect&#8217;s determination to make American manufacturing great again&#8221;.</i></p>
<p>Mr Trump says China&#8217;s unfair trade practices are responsible for wiping out American factory jobs. US manufacturers have cut five million jobs since 2000.</p>
<p>Mr Trump has threatened to impose taxes on Chinese imports and to label China a &#8220;currency manipulator&#8221; for allegedly pushing its currency lower to give Chinese exporters a price advantage.</p>
<p>Mr Navarro, author of Death By China, also endorses a hard line toward China. He has dismissed warnings that imposing sanctions on China could trigger a destructive trade war if China retaliates by targeting US imports.</p>
<p>He and Wilbur Ross &#8211; an investment banker chosen to be Mr Trump&#8217;s commerce secretary &#8211; have argued that China and other US trade partners have more to lose in a trade conflict because they depend so much on the US market.</p>
<p>Mr Trump has already rattled US-China relations. Earlier this month, he broke protocol by taking a call from the president of Taiwan. China views Taiwan as a renegade province and considers any acknowledgement that it has its own head of state as a grave insult.</p>
<p>The president-elect also said he did not feel bound by the long-standing &#8220;one-China&#8221; policy in which the United States agrees that Taiwan and the Chinese mainland are part of a single China.</p>
