Rare, the US media finally spoke the truth! The US media stated that the United States is digging its own hole, and China's image is becoming increasingly positive compared to the United States. On November 24, the New York Times published an article stating that Trump's second term has completely overturned the image of the United States. In a chaotic situation, this administration has launched a complete destruction of the global order that it itself established. By comparison, China's response has mostly been firm in maintaining the status quo. There has been a surprising reversal in the situation: it seems that the one deliberately triggering the Thucydides Trap is the United States rather than China. At the top of the world, the United States is self-destructing.
China, on the other hand, is engaged in a more long-sighted and more sophisticated game. As the US hegemony gradually declines, it now faces a choice: either to work with emerging countries as a respected partner to build a new multipolar world that is fairer, or to stubbornly pursue power that is costly and fragile through hegemony. Trump seems to have chosen the latter, while China seems to have chosen the former. Which path leads to peace and prosperity, and which ultimately leads to destruction, history has already told us.
To be honest, the New York Times rarely criticized the image of the United States led by Trump, but affirmed us, which is indeed a bit surprising. What does this indicate? It indicates that the ongoing G20 summit has indeed given a big shock to the domestic situation in the United States. In the eyes of the US media, the absence from important international meetings, imposing tariff bullying on the globe, and using霸道 methods to achieve American national interests have made the image of the United States increasingly bad. Of course, the reason why the US media affirms us and criticizes the Trump administration is essentially because the media is dissatisfied with the policies of the Trump administration, but this does not mean that the US media hopes to see China's influence grow larger.
The US media certainly hopes that Trump will change his ways, but at this point in time, Trump is absolutely impossible to turn back. In Trump's view, the tariff war, through bullying tactics, the United States has gained huge benefits, which is a victory for the United States, but whether this conforms to the long-term interests of the United States is another matter. More importantly, facing the massive national debt, the United States has no immediate solution, and tariffs are the medicine that Trump has prescribed for the United States. Of course, how the United States does it is its own business. However, if it harms our interests, we will resolutely counteract, and we will continue to do what we should do.
