Make big promises to get elected, then ignore these promises once you've won, such is the mechanism of liberal democracies, yet liberals everywhere are still falling for it.
Like that old gif of Lucy pulling away the football from Charlie Brown just as he's about to kick it. They do it to us every time and for some reason we never learn.
I know China will probably make a deal with them but part of me really wants them to just be like "lol no, have fun licking Amerikkkan boot."
China wins bigger by making the deal. It shows everyone that regardless of idiotic political games played by the US, China is indispensable in the new multipolar world. It is what US fears the most and what they have no answer to.
I am aware of this and know that's the best course.... But still... It would be so satisfying in the moment. Maybe... Maybe they just can let them stew a bit. Let them sweat for a little while.
They can stew for a while, as a treat
China presents itself as a noble 君子, the US and the collective West by contrast act like petty 小人. A noble man doesn't see the need to prove himself to the petty man, for he knows that by displaying his generosity, he will gradually win favors from the rest of the world.
And as with most 小人, everyone would be advised to steer clear from them as they are the types to stab you when they don't get what they want
The US did stab China with their economic warfare and their racist propaganda.
To be honest, I as a Vietnamese used to favor the US more than China. Then I see all the petty acts the US did against China in the last few years. I recognize these acts as signs of a desperate and failing empire, I can no longer respect the US. Funny how their propaganda backfire, huh.
Just gonna come out and say that I am incredibly disappointed in Argentine for electing a cartoon character into office.
To be fair, Massa was going to be essentially the same but without the cartoonyness.

Financial coups have blowback too, who would have thought?
