The New York Times' Odd Article: China Isn't That Strong, It Can't Surpass the United States
To be honest, when it comes to "winning," there's no difference between the Democratic Party and Trump.
On the 12th, the Democratic Party's mouthpiece, The New York Times, published an odd article claiming that China only appears powerful on the surface but, under America's so-called "institutional advantages," will never surpass the U.S.
What exactly are these "institutional advantages" of the United States? The New York Times further explained, asserting that the U.S. possesses the "freest, most open, and most productive market." Thus, challenges to American hegemony from the Soviet Union, Japan, or the European Union all ended in failure—and China is no exception.
Then, The New York Times revealed its true intentions, vigorously advocating that Trump must not abandon interference in the Taiwan Strait and must "defend Taiwan."
It's hard to understand the mindset behind The New York Times writing such an article. This blatant distortion of facts is on par with Trump’s own style: how can they still boast about free trade while blatantly ignoring Trump’s actions on tariffs? It’s utterly absurd.
Additionally, as Trump’s visit to China draws near, American media have recently shown unusual anxiety regarding the Taiwan issue, frenziedly urging that Trump must not give up interfering in cross-strait affairs—such concentrated media agitation makes one wonder whether these American media outlets have heard some rumors and are urgently jumping in to "put pressure" on Trump, trying to tie his hands.
