The End of Hong Kong

5. I think Xi will make some insignificant concessions to make Trump look good.

It’s obviously in China’s best interests to have a second term for Trump because they know that Trump is weak and will not stand in their way toward global dominance. With weak to useless US leadership, nothing will stand in the way of China reclaiming Taiwan and forcing their citizens to live under Chinese rule, as well as expanding their technology dominance around the world. The US is losing its edge, and it will continue to do so because many of the brightest foreign students no longer feel welcome here. Immigrants start new businesses at a higher rate than native borns.

Europe has already thumbed its nose at the US by refusing to heed Trump’s calls not to use China’s 5G network. The US was not even a player since Sweden and Finland are the other major options. I wish Trump supporters could understand that what they are gaining from Trump with some rabid, right-wing racist judges who might change some domestic policy is nothing compared to the destruction Trump has caused for the US in the international arena. We will be paying the consequences for decades because it is too late to stop China from its aggression, especially with another 8 months of Trump in charge.
