The Trump administration hasn’t broken China. What’s broken is the overwhelming ideological pretense that has governed bilateral relations.
An amalgam of hubris underwrites the varying assumptions of western Chinese specialists – all have been bought low by team Trump. The excessive, overweening belief that Asia possessed an intrinsic liberal order, that China would continue apace in economic growth, and that the Americans could achieve policy success in Mesopotamia even as it retrenched from commitments abroad has ended. These and many other deeply flawed assumptions have wrought US-Chinese relations beyond repair.
Way back in early 2016, an economist named Derek Scissors wrote, “If President Xi Jinping does not quickly move beyond talk to profound pro-market reform, China will not slow, or struggle – it will just stop.”
The domestic, structural components of China’s current economic malaise have been present for decades, but only a few Chinese specialists acknowledged the primacy of China’s socio-political domestic base as crucial in China’s orientation toward the West. Today’s slowdown can be reliably traced to demography, debt, and an inefficient, corrupt domestic financial system. It is these structural deficits in China’s indigenous political regime that has wrecked China. Television pundits have sourced their criticism of China to shrinking demand and the demise of its export-driven growth model. These concerns remain ancillary to what ails China domestically.
Lethargic growth and political decay will not benefit US interests in keeping Asia free of a hostile, openly contentious China
Simply put, a technocratic monetary approach of stimulation based on debt and monetary velocity cannot work without a functioning, vibrant civil society. These ignored antecedents precede growth. It’s not that China is at a tipping point, but a strategic reassessment of the regimes nature and its constitutive social relation to its people is exhausted. China’s slowdown doesn’t mean a new social contract. But it does mean that Chinese leadership will examine the regime’s internal stability more closely. US political leaders must prepare themselves for difficult relations with Beijing.
Historically, Chinese leaders have engaged in militant adventurism during troubled times. Lethargic growth and political decay will not benefit US interests in keeping Asia free of a hostile, openly contentious China. Earlier instances of Deng Xiaoping’s post-Cultural Revolution attack on Vietnam and Mao Zedong’s pre-Great Leap Forward bombardment of Taiwan’s offshore islands should fortify US combatant commanders about Beijing’s inclination for deviation.
For US war planners, China’s economic slowdown provides a great opportunity to better align US economic interests throughout the Asia-Pacific. It means opening and strengthening bilateral relations throughout Southeast Asia. But it also means that US political leadership must exercise prudence in its handling of China. Allies throughout the Asia-Pacific matter, but so does helping Beijing’s leadership align its domestic resources in the renewal of its regime.
To accommodate reciprocity, team Trump should begin initiatives with Beijing aimed at curbing regional nuclear proliferation. US Chinese policy throughout the subcontinent would benefit from comity; finally, getting US global strategy correct throughout the Asia-Pacific proper means eliminating bellicose rhetoric from the White House. Open solicitation toward domestic renewal and cooperation will benefit both China and the US going forward.
The prerequisite for solid relations and comity between China and the United States begins with prudence and credibility in the maintenance of China’s turn toward domestic renewal.
Majority rule? Trump won less than Hiliary by 3 million votes, that he became president by minority of quite a margin. And US politial system based on monority allowance rule. From the very beginning, the constitution allowed only rich white males to vote, it takes 200 years to allow colored, poor, female peole to get voting chance, by that time , it was 1970, mojority americans lost interest in vote, voting rates falls some thing between 50-60 % . Then the winner of election gets mostly 60% of 60% of people’s voting, always a minority of people. Such is the dream of democracy.

According to the site itself, "William Holland is North American recruiter for Wikistrat global consultancy monitoring Pakistan’s nuclear program." Which is a fair indication of the expertise he brings to a meta-analysis of Sino-US relations.
China isn’t "wrecked". The claim is ludicrous beyond description. Nor has it stopped, as the obscure American Enterprise Institute economist he cites predicted. GDP growth is currently between 6-7%, which is pretty much what one would expect from a healthy economy reaching maturity after decades of rapid development.
The Trump Administration would do its country and the world a favor by accepting that the days of US hegemony over Asia and the Western Pacific are coming to an end, and steering America to a new reality where it is merely the world’s richest and most powerful nation, not the global overlord.

It was also to shake up the complacent PLA. Indeed it does. Now the PLA is a totally different military force, one of the strongest.

That was simply one of the dumbest articles that I’ve read concerning Chinese history. Apparently they just attacked Vietnam because their economy was weak. Not to prevent Vietnam from invading Cambodia and inevitably allowing Pol Pot to take over.

The difference is that the the President of USA is voted directly and voluntarilly by the people.
China’s premier is chosen by the party.
Political and Economic policy changes are put to the litmus test of a hotly contested open and transparent ellection process. Once passed by a majority vote in a fairly conducted ellection, the people willingly support their President’s executive decisions. There is room for error but the ordinary people take responsibity to correct it themselves.
China’s political proces is fundamentally flawed and very raw in its structure and oprational capabilitiies.
Once the people are isolated from directly influencing policies, the states fundamental structures become shaky and unstable.
Added to this fluid political situatuation is the Communist party,s failure to develope or even adapt core moral and ethical values that should guide their executive decisions and actions and core moral and ethical values that should be compatable with internationally accepted and practiced protocals and standards.
As a result, china has been caught indulging in Economic theft.
The world is organizing itself to protect its intellectual properties and weakth from being stolen by China..China’s lack of moral and ethical values have been exposed in its deceitfull activies in poor countries where it peddles fake, single use , copy products and pushes poor countries into its debt trap in order to take over their strategic assets and colonize them for loan repayment defaults.
Countries are basically treating china as a :
" Economic Thief." China’s export driven economy will continue to face obstacles as long as it steals ,copies, intellectual properties and produces and peddles fake, pirated/poachef, counterfeight , unlawfully copied products. China must accept and submitt to internationally accepted trade protocals. China must be guided by moral and ethical values.
Made in China is now a questionable brand.
