🧠 The story begins in 2017

Trump calls China "strategic competitor number 1."

Since then, the US-China confrontation has intensified, becoming more fierce every day.

📈 China has a very long-term plan

- Xi Jinping declares his goal is to achieve global dominance.

- China's defense budget has increased by more than 7% each year for four consecutive years.

- Beijing is building the largest navy in the world, rapidly increasing its nuclear stockpile.

🔍 Why is the US falling behind?

- Trump imposes tariffs recklessly without a long-term plan.

- The US lacks smart bombs, long-range missiles, and rapid shipbuilding capacity. American goods are high quality but extremely expensive and scarce.

- The US defense industry is not strong enough to fight a long-term war.

🚢 China has surpassed Asia in defense

- In 2024, Beijing will spend more on military than Japan, India, South Korea, and Australia combined!

💥 The technology-economic war is just as heated

- The US and China are splitting the world into "two camps":

- The US erects tariff barriers, controls chips and clean energy.

- China is advancing the global Belt and Road Initiative

🏗️ Globalization is dead

- One world - The flat world is outdated.

- Now there are Two worlds – the US and its allies on one side, China leading the other.

🧱 China is quietly selling US bonds from its $3.2 trillion foreign exchange reserves

- Over the past decade, Beijing has halved its holdings of US bonds.

- Reducing dependency while preparing financial blows when necessary.

🛡️ Does the US still have strong allies?*

- Yes, but they are gradually weakening:

- Asia remains divided, lacking a solid alliance.

- India, Japan, Australia, and South Korea are still reluctant to directly confront China.

- Meanwhile, China and Russia are closer than ever.

🚨 The biggest risk?

- If the US loses military superiority in the Western Pacific, Taiwan is at risk

- A US-China conflict could trigger a global economic crisis.

- Worse: it could lead to World War III.

🦅 The US is also at a disadvantage in the soft power arena

- Trump cuts USAID funding, shuts down Radio Free Asia.

- The US is weakening in the information war, while China is pumping money into developing countries.

🧨 Trump’s second term: Sometimes tough, sometimes wobbly

- Unprecedented high tariffs, then suddenly pulling back due to the bond market rebellion.

- Declares to spend $1 trillion on defense, but also praises Xi as one of the smartest leaders.

🦉 In summary:

✅ The new Cold War has been underway for a long time, and it will last for decades.

✅ China has been systematically preparing for 30 years, while the US is struggling through conflicts.

✅ Those who are impatient or miscalculate one step could turn Cold War 2 into World War 3!
