#2 Propaganda. 19 million China has spent on our media. Looking for a return on their investment. China is in big trouble at this time, internally and has no good neighbor policy. If you look American in Vietnam you are welcome. If you look Chinese you will get the stink eye.

Under President Kamala Devi Harris, delight of India’s left, all of America would look like downtown Seattle.

#6 Perhaps this "squandering" is a function of them not being in the "geopolitical driver's seat" after all.

Keep trying to speak it into existence, Atlantic.
