The Wall Street Journal reported on the 21st: "The United States seems unable to focus on China. For years, presidents from both major U.S. political parties have promised to concentrate on countering China, but they have repeatedly been distracted by conflicts elsewhere."
Comment: It's not that the United States doesn't want to focus on China; its hegemonic structure makes it impossible. Its global hegemony has spread too thin, with limited resources and attention, and conflicts in regions such as Ukraine and the Middle East constantly divert its military, diplomatic, and attentional resources. This is the fate of hegemony - the more it tries to concentrate on encircling China, the more it is constrained from all sides, eventually becoming trapped in its own global chessboard.
