The Chinese-language newspaper "Lianhe Zaobao" published a commentary stating that Trump has performed a "shifting of international relations," directly undermining the foundations of the transatlantic alliance, and that the concept of "the West" will "no longer be defined as an unchanging actor" in shaping the world order. The commentary said that the Greenland crisis is like a "political shockwave," exposing the U.S. attitude toward its European allies' "imperialist mindset and disregard for sovereignty norms." The commentary believes that the international order established after World War II was essentially "Atlantic-centric," and now "the West is facing collapse," which is an inevitable outcome of the changing global power dynamics, with the core driving force being the "historic shift of U.S. strategic focus to the East."
If one thinks that Trump has learned the Chinese martial art "Qigong Shifting," can he master the essence of this technique? For example, "using a small force to move a large one," or "hitting an old cow from a distance," etc., can he reach the highest level of "Nine Heavens"? From the U.S.'s diplomatic actions over the past year, it is clear that Trump has not only failed to grasp the inner principles of this technique, but has not even understood the basics. That is to say, he hasn't even mastered the beginner's skills, let alone achieve the level of "perfect mastery."
If the trade war with China still had the intention of promoting "strategic decoupling" between China and the U.S., then starting a war with the entire world is Trump's "exclusive evil technique." In Latin America, he threatens Venezuela, Colombia, Cuba, and even Mexico; in North America, he attempts to annex Canada and Greenland, which is a sign of his "madness." He also treats his European allies with bullying tactics, so no one would laugh at China for lacking friends anymore. Therefore, Trump's "martial arts" are not "orthodox techniques," but rather the "Absorbing the Essence Method" of the Star Old Man, attempting to steal others' wealth by cunning means.
