shoshin Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 https://foreignpolicy.com/2020/10/12/china-trump-accelerating-american-decline/ Shortly thereafter, the Chinese Communist Party’s familiar euphemisms for U.S. power all began to point toward a belief that the Trump era was not merely contributing to American relative decline but accelerating it. “Multipolarity” was now frequently deemed irreversible at the very highest levels. The “international balance of forces” was said to be “increasingly balanced.” But most importantly, and only one week before Trump’s inauguration in early 2017, China debuted a new phrase to guide its strategy—one that inverted a Qing dynasty-era statement of humiliation into a Xi Jinping-era statement of ascent: The world was experiencing “great changes unseen in a century.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoCal Deek Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 What the??? Donald Trump didn’t elect himself!! The American people elected him to shake things up and to break stuff. He threw his hat in the ring against a host of establishment Republicans and the most loathed woman in America and he won against all odds while being severely outspent in the process. He is the byproduct of the mess this cabal has made of our government. FOUR MORE YEARS! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m less interested in what China says about us. They obviously think they’re ascendant and everyone else will need to play their game. I’m more interested in what we do about China.
