The American opening gambit in this game of geopolitics is a fact. Now, it’s China’s turn to make a move. Or not.
The reality is China is already on the road to being a global higher education power in the 21st century.
The spiral of inflation, a slip in GDP, and rising costs of living are challenges that the Biden administration needs to deal with urgently. As such, some decisive measures need to be taken which should put America’s true interests first.
Americans will continue to believe China is ‘draconian’ at home and dangerous all over the world for as long as they receive propaganda masquerading as news.
If the U.S. is looking for a result-orientated policy, then it should seek to negotiate a win-win trade arrangement with China that can better attain access to its domestic market while removing the politically toxic Trump tariffs.
One system is successfully delivering the goods to its vast population, while the other is in a downward zero-sum spiral.
As tensions between the two nations remain stubbornly high, more and more cultural exchanges must take place just as soon as health conditions in both countries allow for them.
What is freedom worth if there is no guarantee of life or protection? Ultimately, the U.S. is using talk of human rights and its own mythology of exceptionalism as a cover for its agenda of seeking hegemony.
The international community as represented in the United Nations wants a future worth looking forward to that embodies peace and development. But a glance at the world today shows this hopeful vision is not shared by the US and NATO.
The authorities and the citizenry remain resolute that local and national policies are imperfect, but effective.
