With the European Union in disarray, Brazil falling off of their short lived global plate re: production and economy, India being (once again... or should I say "still") pre-occupied regarding their seemingly never ending quarrel with Pakistan it appears China's got a somewhat free pass to take a shot at increasing their global leadership if they want it.
At least that's my take from reading the article I linked to above.
China's poised to take on a more robust global leadership role in manufacturing, economy and trade and quite frankly we're seemingly encouraging it to happen. While we're so busy quarreling within about what tweet is appropriate or not, whether the NFL should kneel during our national anthem, whose lives matter more than others, our open borders, Clinton's travesties, etc., the liberal "hate America" agenda, global conquest and other things of the sort we're letting our what's left of our global influence fall to the wayside.
And China's poised to take advantage of our internal quarreling. Why wouldn't they? We would... hell, we have.
I'm thinking I'm witnessing a crumbling of our values, of our global influence. Every "empire", every dog eventually has its day and then it's all downhill from there.
Are we there yet? Because we're certainly not poised to lead or at least it doesn't appear to ME that we are poised to lead. Nah, from what I'm seeing we've become a distraction to many, a reduced influence globally and a liability to some. Our infighting is fraying our unity and the whole world's watching, noticing.
That given, why WOULDN'T other nations start posturing and start testing the global markets, the competition at least? It makes sense to me... I don't like it but it makes sense.
Life goes on.
IMHO
