The Wall Street Journal Chinese website wrote today (February 8): "Welcome to a world where 'America First' is gradually meaning 'America isolated,' and American allies are seeking alternatives to get out of an alliance relationship that is increasingly resembling bullying, while adversaries are taking pleasure in this."
[Witty] Comment: The gradual transformation of 'America First' into 'America Isolated' has led allies to seek alternatives and urgently try to break free from a bullying dependency. This is an inevitable outcome of the principle of 'gaining support by following the right path and losing support by going against it.' For a long time, the United States has treated its allies as pawns and rules as tools, frequently exerting pressure, withdrawing from groups, and breaching agreements, thereby eroding trust and tearing apart alliances. Now, it finds itself isolated and abandoned by all, with no innocence at all; it is entirely self-inflicted. This is not a betrayal by the world against the United States, but an inevitable conclusion of the end of hegemonic logic.
