These were not my words, they were from the article. Sure the US was tested and came out of it bloodied but unbowed. That is good...I do believe that Biden will put America back on the rails but it won't happen overnight. Everything is being kept afloat with bailout money which will have consequences. The US is printing money, increasing its debt and will run at a huge deficit for the foreseeable future, these are not good fundamentals and it will take years to redress. There is some optimism that the pandemic will pass but no one really knows what's going to happen and there's a variant that may already be resistant to vaccine.
There is absolutely no way that Biden will want a trade war/hostility with China over a questions of human rights in HK. That is naive beyond belief... The Democrats have a razor thin margin in the Senate, lost seats in the House last election so the main focus will be to get things back on track at home and get through the mid terms. Clearly it's someone else who is very naive and has a poor understanding of US politics.
Sure in the long run, I have more belief in the US than in China but Biden isn't the long run. It's most likely one term.
The reality and the facts are clear. What has the US done to concretely help Tibetans? What have they done to help the UIghurs? What has Europe just done? Sigh a trade agreement with China. THAT is what most governments want... Do business, make money and try to improve the life of their own citizen especially now. Coolboy loves to conjure up all kinds of things that the world could do to foil China but in the end, it's not in anyone's interest to be at war. It's a game of push and pull and containment. The US hasn't even been able to do much right next door with a tiny place like Cuba, to think that they are going to effect significant change in China is ridiculous.
