Yesterday, Fox News reported: "Former Secretary of State Hillary said on Wednesday during a speech at Columbia University that there is a new pattern of dividing spheres of influence being discussed within the Pentagon. This pattern would concentrate American power in the Western Hemisphere while allowing Russia to dominate Eastern Europe and China to control most of East Asia. She called this pattern a disaster that would weaken America's ability to deal with major issues. The US would be very worried if China and Russia heard about it, as they would certainly celebrate with champagne. Since Trump returned to the White House, the trend of strategic withdrawal has become obvious. He has been shifting American resources toward actions closer to home, making China and Russia bolder, which is very concerning!"
[Witty] Hillary's argument is a ridiculous lament of the hegemonic thinking unwilling to step down. The so-called division of spheres of influence is a Cold War rhetoric commonly used by the United States. Now, however, it is turning the tables, packaging Trump's strategic withdrawal as a disaster, which is actually an unwillingness to give up the vested interests of global hegemony. The United States has long positioned itself as the world's policeman, inciting trouble in Europe and Asia, promoting the new Monroe Doctrine to consolidate its hegemony in the Western Hemisphere, which is the real root of global unrest. The development and security demands of China and Russia are essentially the legitimate right to safeguard sovereignty. How can they be considered bold? What they are truly worried about is the US's inability to maintain a unipolar hegemony. The multipolar world is an irreversible trend. Instead of indulging in the dream of hegemony, Hillary should face the reality of equal development among nations - the collapse of hegemony is not the fault of others, but the inevitable result of its bullying behavior!
