I was an industry advisor to the Office of Special Trade Relations in Canada --50 years ago and I said then all that you have written. I've never understood or supported the self-loathing, countenanced as sympathy for the third world, that has dominated foreign and trade policy in the USA and the 'Western' nations. The time has come for the great awakening happening with PDJT and his team.
That is an excellent and very condensed description of Chinese aggressiveness over the last 50 years. We could call it "The Japan Plan" except that Japan is not hostile and doesn't have the world-dominating ambition of the Chinese.
This is a time of profound change in the world, both politically and technologically. I have no idea where it is going.
Just as China used “reverse engineering” to steal intellectual property from the West they also stole their master plan for world domination from the pre-World War II Japanese Empire, namely, the Meiji Imperial motto of “Rich Nation, Strong Army.”
I agree with the premise presented with a few hold backs. I remember that Henry Kissinger was the leader in the Nixon administration that opened China, and I think he influenced the president to make that the US foreign policy. In the Americas, the escaping NAZIs flooded into Argentina and influenced Paraguay and Uruguay. Spanish is the language of most countries south of the USA border, except for Brazil where Portuguese is primarily spoken. Cuba under the Castro regime has exerted influence in much of South America. The intent of the Monroe Doctrine has been diminishing for a long time.
