Donald Trump The Candidate
Trump The POTUS

I'm sure this had nothing to do with Trumps sudden concern about jobs in China
BTW - I can't recall any other POTUS or politician being concerned about job losses in China.
According to multiple news outlets, the president’s total about-face on China came just 72 hours after the developer of a theme park outside Jakarta, known as MNC Lido City, with whom the Trump Organization has an agreement to license its name, signed a deal to receive $500 million in Chinese government loans, in addition to another $500 million from government banks. According to Agence France-Presse, the Trump Organization will rake in almost $3.7 million in licensing and consulting payments from Lido, along with another project in Bali. The company will also earn management fees, and be “eligible for additional unspecified incentives.” (Upon entering the White House, Trump turned over day-to-day management of the family business to his sons Donny Jr. and Eric, but chose not to divest himself financially from the company.)
Of course, we can’t entirely be sure that the financial injection was the reason for Trump’s sudden soft spot for Chinese jobs. Other theories for the change of heart include the fact that the president knows he needs China’s help during next month’s North Korea summit; that the economic nationalists in the White House are losing ground to the free-traders like Larry Kudlow; and that Trump sees helping ZTE as a way to get a trade deal with China. (According to the Washington Post the Chinese government gave and the U.S. a list of economic and trade demands and bullet point 5 was “announce adjustment to the [ZTE] export ban.”) But we also know that this is a president for whom kissing the ring goes very, very far. “You do a good deal for him, he does a good deal for you. Quid pro quo,” Richard Painter, the White House ethics lawyer for George W. Bush, told HuffPost. “This appears to be yet another violation of the emoluments clause of the Constitution,” Painter added, referring to the prohibition against the president receiving payments from foreign governments.

what does that have to do with Trump company receiving financial gain from Chinese government loans just 3 days before he suddenly seemed so concerned about job losses in China
On the campaign trail he claimed that China dealings with the US was the Greatest Theft in the History of the World
Trump organization makes some money via Chines government and suddenly he's very concerned about jobs losses in China

First you would have to show us the facts in the article. Looks like another typical anti-Trump hit piece from the liberal media to me. Filled with opinions, not facts.
