On June 5th, the live broadcast studio of "Guanyuan Academy" of Observer Network invited three scholars from China and South Korea to have a dialogue and interpret the China-South Korea relations and Northeast Asia situation in the era of Lee Jae-myung. When talking about the impact of the Trump administration on South Korea and Japan, Professor Huang Jing, an outstanding professor at Shanghai International Studies University, pointed out to the Observer Network that Trump's rise to power indicates that the U.S. hegemonic system is already in the process of collapse.
Huang Jing said, "Trump's rise to power not only shows America's reversion to Jacksonianism, reversion to conservatism, and reversion to right-wing isolationism, but more importantly, it indicates that the U.S. hegemonic system is actually unsustainable and is in the process of collapse. It is precisely because of this that Trump has undergone such a great transformation."
"Under the decline of American hegemony, a paradox arises: the more the U.S. hegemony, especially in the Indo-Pacific or Asia-Pacific region, declines, the stronger its desire to tighten control over allies like South Korea and Japan, attempting to contain China through these allies."
