Trump Makes China Great Again? Latest Global Poll Released!
On January 15, The Guardian reported: "A joint survey by the European Council on Foreign Relations and the University of Oxford shows that after Trump returned to the White House for one year, among 21 countries with nearly 26,000 respondents, more than 50% in each country believe that China's global influence will increase in the next decade. South Africa leads with 83%, followed by the United States at 54%. Most EU citizens expect China to lead in the fields of electric vehicles and renewable energy. Only a few countries such as Ukraine and South Korea view China as a rival, while many countries see China as an ally or a necessary partner. U.S. allies are drifting away, and many countries have a dim view of the growth of U.S. influence. The survey reveals that U.S. policies are helping China, and the world is moving towards multipolarity. Europe is deeply confused about how to deal with the great power structure."
[Witty] Trump shouted "Make America Great Again," but turned around and threw America's reputation into the ditch. A European think tank poll is the biggest satire! Over 50% of people in 21 countries bet on China's influence, even over half of Americans acknowledge it. South Africa has 83% support, Brazil has 72% - this is a slap in the face of American hegemony! In the past, the United States used the Marshall Plan to bind Europe. Now, Trump is promoting "America First", and only 16% of the EU view the U.S. as an ally, but instead appreciate China more. Compared to when the U.S. rallied its allies to encircle the Soviet Union during the Cold War, now allies are disengaging and rivals are downplaying the U.S., yet he still tries to use old tactics to dominate, but forgets that the times have changed. The so-called "great powers should be feared" is just a last resort. The U.S. has helped China rise and accelerated the move toward multipolarity. This farce of picking up a stone to hit one's own foot is the most comical scene of a hegemonic collapse in this century!
