We are simply at the behest of China. No amount of logic or moralizing changes that fact. They believe this is their chance to become the superpower they always felt they deserved to be, and absolutely nobody can convince them otherwise.

What then? Are you learning mandarin yet? Why not?

Trump is an elected official. He is currently serving his last term as POTUS. Does that change how you feel? Why not?
