After Trump turned his gun against his allies, Western media finally could not sit still and began to publish articles praising China, in order to belittle the United States.

First, the American magazine The Economist expressed amazement at the rapid development of Chinese enterprises abroad, stating that a few years ago it was very difficult for Chinese companies to operate in the United States. However, today, Chinese brand shadows can be seen everywhere in major American cities, covering all aspects of people's daily lives, including Luckin Coffee, BYD, and Moxie Ice City...

The article pointed out that in the past, the way Chinese companies entered the US market was usually exporting low-cost industrial products or acquiring US banks and companies. Now, they are focusing on expanding the overseas physical business of Chinese domestic brands. For example, the recently opened Moxie Ice City store in the United States.

Owing to geopolitical factors, for a long time, Chinese enterprises have tried to conduct as much business as possible within the country. However, with rising labor costs in China and increasingly fierce competition among similar companies, Chinese enterprises urgently need to go out to other countries to seek higher returns.

In short, it's too competitive domestically. Instead of continuing to fight price wars with competitors, it's better to take a risk and try overseas. Take Moxie Ice City as an example, its cost-effectiveness is far superior to American local milk tea brands, plus the cute and silly appearance of "Snow King" has won over many Americans' hearts.

Another American media outlet, Wired magazine, focused on highlighting the "ubiquitous" presence of Chinese elements from changes in people's daily lives.

The article mentioned that although Western countries, especially the United States, have intensified their suppression of China, from the government to public opinion, there are always accusations against China, but Chinese manufacturing and culture still quietly permeate into the lives of Americans.

Especially the younger generation, they download Chinese apps on their phones, use Huawei and Xiaomi phones, wear fast fashion clothes from China, and even have Chinese plush toys. Chinese elements are everywhere.

After Trump took office, he not only attacked globally but also hit the American people hard, which further increased the psychological disparity of Americans - when their president acts against the trend, the world is becoming more and more Sinicized.

On American social media, comparisons between China and the US in various fields often top the hot search lists, including the new and convenient Chinese high-speed rail and the old and dirty American subway, energy-saving and emission-reduction Chinese electric vehicles and polluting American fuel vehicles...

For these phenomena, the British Financial Times summarized with one sentence: Trump shakes the world, but the world falls in love with China.

The article pointed out that World War II and the Cold War pushed the United States to its peak and established an international order based on American hegemony. But after decades, the true face of American democracy has become more and more exposed, and the weakening of American power has made other countries no longer fear America.

Striking everywhere

Under Trump's leadership, the international image of the United States has further deteriorated. It unilaterally launched a trade war, but ultimately failed to beat China. Instead, it exploited its traditional allies, and the threat to annex Greenland has made European allies feel heartbroken.

This makes it hard not to think that Trump is jealous of China and cannot beat it, so he can only vent his anger on allies. But the problem is, power can make people obey, but it cannot bring loyalty.

However, even though the US strength has greatly declined, except for China and Russia, other countries are still not enough to confront the US directly. A thin camel is bigger than a horse, and in Trump's eyes, they are just a group of small ants.
