For a possible hint we may look at his reasons for friendly relations with Russia. Is peaceful relations with Russia Trump's nature or are there more important reasons in Trump's mindset with Russia/Putin.
And so if the former is the case and not any other possibilities of the latter, then would this be consistent with China too? Trump is compelled to take a tough stand on China at the moment because that is expected of him by the military and the population, but will it continue so after the election if he is re-elected.
An analysis of Trump's opinion on China is difficult at the moment. I found the following piece from Al Jazeera could be a hint.

The US talking points are begrudging China for it's handling of the Corona virus as well as US accusations of theft of information on the virus vaccine. Are either of those accusations even rational accusations? And does Trump actually parrot that cause with any real convictions.
My opinion is fwiw, Trump's treatment of Xi/China will be consistent with his treatment of Russia/Putin. For those who agree, if any, is that a reason to support Trump. I believe a good sized chunk of Trump's support will be on board with that. The number of Americans demanding that the troops be brought home is too many to be ignored in the coming election.
