UPDATE: Donald Trump Takes Office as the 47th US President

[DC_Dude]

Trump called Xi a genius. Xi called Trump’s bluff.

One of these men was negotiating. The other was just talking.

For months, Trump had been telling anyone within earshot that China was a menace, a thief, an existential threat to the American way of life. Then he got Xi on the phone and apparently decided that actually, the man was rather wonderful and perhaps they could work something out.

Xi, meanwhile, said precisely what he intended to say, moved not a single millimetre, and hung up having conceded nothing whatsoever.

This is what happens when a man who closes property deals meets a man who plays the long game. One of them has been doing this for five thousand years. The other can’t remember what he said last Tuesday.

Trump left the call beaming. Xi left it having won.

China had banned Lil Marco from entering China since 2020, but have agreed to let him enter this time only if he changes his name to Bozo, the famous Chinese clown.

Xi Jinping is putting on a clinic:

“The whole world is watching our meeting. The International situation is turbulent. The world is at a new crossroads: Can China and the US overcome the Thucydides Trap and create a new paradigm to meet global challenges together.”

The Thucydides Trap is the structural tension that occurs when a rapidly rising power (China) threatens to displace an established ruling power that is in decline (US).

By mentioning the Thucydides trap, Xi Jinping is signaling that China is the new leader of the free world and what’s remarkable is, unlike the U.S., China achieved this without dropping bombs, waging endless wars, or spending $1 trillion a year on its military.

Instead China became the leader of the free world by investing in its people with housing, education, health care, and the best modern infrastructure in the world, and investing in its neighbor countries through its Belt and Road Initiative, which has funded ports, railways, and energy networks across the Global South.

The US became a “superpower” through endless wars, corruption, and selling out its own people to the billionaire class while China became a superpower and surpassed the US by building trade and relations with the world and investing in its people instead of wars. Americans would be wise to take note and then change our corrupt government.
