Art of the Deal chapter 2 is about leverage. There is no concept of soft power, so we've abandoned it. This includes USAID. This will be viewed in hindsight as the single biggest mistake we made.

    There are other single biggest mistakes like pushing rest of the world to get rid of US software and possibly towards open source.

    It's a win for consumers too if there's more competition

    China is creating competition for many things now. The world needed that.

    Now we just need to unattach ourselves from the US and have fair competition.

    I'm not saying you cant buy from the US, but it will be on a level playing field.

    I don't know if it's unintended consequences or not caring about the consequences. The people responsible for this are richer than god as a result and they simply do not care what happens to anyone else.
