I’m pretty sure China knew this since Reagan, by Bush Jr. it was undeniable.
Our government has proven to be untenable and should be dismantled. Balkanization is preferable to our current state… the State governments duplicate much of what the Federals do already. I don’t think even a constitutional convention can divert the inevitable.
Any government that elected Trump twice is long dead and rotten to the core, USA is a dead man walking.
Yes, I know some organization(s) says different, and claims we are not corrupt. But… we still are. Legalized bribery isn’t going to change anything, the end results are exactly the same.
Exactly, Trump doesn’t give a shit about the harm he is doing to others, if it benefits himself.
Starting a war and letting thousands die, is an absolute nothing burger to him. He is a malignant narcissist the worst form psychopath there is.
Just like he doesn’t care that he was taking food stamps away from families with children, and that he has forced millions off medicare.
He doesn’t give a shit either about the children he has probably raped, and allegedly even killed.
He has convinced himself that he is entitled to do all the shit he is doing, merely because he can. Might makes right is an insane attitude. 😡
That’s a cool fantasy but China was barely a player during Reagan. I doubt they saw it that way. In fact I think they were probably quite happy about the USA doing economically well overall given most of their growth depended on production for and exports to the USA at the time. Pressured by the Soviet Union during the 70s, trade agreements with the USA were a god sent.
If we’re talking about decline China was concerned with it’s probably the decline of the Soviet Union. Once that was gone they were fully occupied tightening trade relationships around the world and were likely hoping everyone would keep growing and keep trading. That was until Xi came into power. He sees things very differently, apparently.

Nixon; Watergate.
Reagan: Iran Contra.
Bush Jr. Iraq invasion.
Trump: Iran war causing the worst oil crisis in history.
The tendency towards ever bigger illegal actions by Republican presidents is insane.
And even that’s just to distract the world from Trump’s visits to Epstein island to rape children.
Not to mention the adults he’s raped, the insurrection against the US he led, or the myriad of other crimes he commits on a daily fucking basis.
