Opinion: This is how a superpower commits suicide

7. China is the big winner

I have a graduate global business class on Monday nights that has several Chinese Nationals in it. The discussions are pretty frank. The professor is great at getting the Chinese students to speak about their country's business and political goals. They are tickled pink that Trump is deciding that the US will no longer be the leader of the World. Their Belt and Road trade deal will be a vehicle for them to be the dominant culture and country for the next century. The US is getting left behind by choosing to forgo trade deals that grow Americas influence. The meager $250 Billion deal Trump bragged about is specifically designed by the Chinese to enhance and not deter their bigger $21 Trillion Belt and Road trade vision for the future.

China will dominate a more united Africa for trade in the coming decades, the US is choosing to watch from the sidelines. The Chinese agenda for the world will very soon mean more than the American agenda.
