The US economy is vulnerable and much more dependent on China’s than vice versa. The one-year trade war truce that Donald Trump made at his meeting with President Xi Jinping proves this.
"Trump started the trade war on China in his first term. However, the Democratic administration of Joe Biden continued this trade war. The new cold war — Cold War Two — is bipartisan in Washington."
Yes, but you neglect Obama's vaunted "pivot to Asia" which was explicitly meant to put military pressure on China. The desperate desire to weaken China and return to the 1990s has been bipartisan from the beginning.
You're comment about Trump deluding himself into thinking we're still in the 1990s is accurate but again misses the same warped perspective of the "good cops" of US Imperialism.
Relative to Russia, it's more clear. The Dems were so convinced it was still 1990, that they would not stop provoking Russia. The last 35 years have not passed in vein and they, like Trump are learning a hard lesson about the world in 2025.
Ultimately the entire political elite of the sinking ship of US Imperialism is like a geriatric ward, in some cases literally, filled with Imperialist war mongers ahd murders who think they are atop of a US at the peak of its strength.
You know that's a recipe for disaster. I know it too. The lesson: both official parties must go, forever. Not just Trump, not just Biden. Both Imperialist genocidal parties must never hold power in this country again or we are all doomed.
Any, even slight, rhetorical support for one is deadly to the working class. The same goes for vilifying and exposing the crimes of one, while strategically omitting to do the same to the other.
While much of this report is cogently correct. It however does not take into account. How ignorant most Americans are to reality. Especially those who still cling to the koolaide of American Exceptionalism. Which is not just the MAGA idiots. Unfortunately too many on all sides, and including the so-called educated. Still believe the fantasy and engineered narratives of decades and centuries. Especially in the latter decades. And the pain of reality is still not enough to wake the majority. And in this recent talks with China. Can and has been spun, to evoke the thinking of the ignorant Americans. That China did in fact cave in to US demands. Even when the reality is that China did not cave. But too many in the US will buy into the narrative that China did compromise. China should not have had talks at all. And just made demands and only have tasks after the demands of China had been met.
Ben Norton.your well researched and well written aritcle underscores Trump's basic Dumbfuckedness. As Rex Tillerson, Trumps first Scretary of Sate, accurately decribed Trump once he got to know him as a "Fucking Moron." Tillerson was right.
Trump losing? Come on. Trump has 14 Eyes and those eyes are growing, and truly China is a paper tiger, truly, and relying on world oil and gas and world business, when China has such a demographic problem, pollution, and, remember, CHAOS, the Empire of Terror. Satellites, man. U$A's 51 state, Israel. And the Arab world, and, alas, right-wing EuroTrashLandia.

China does great biz with that Jewish State of Rape and Murder and Poison and Theft. Nah, China is just part of the problem.
