It's not wrong, though. If your goal is purely "win hearts and minds in China," doing whatever the Chinese government wants is good step. It is, however, not clear that this would be a good primary goal for a US president.

Clearly it would only win hearts, the point of winning minds is to persuade them to your viewpoint.

If you really want to win hearts alone, drop all visa and foreign registration requirements, close Pacific military bases, cede Hawaii. There's so much you can do to win hearts.

The easiest way to win minds to your side is to change your mind to match theirs.
