Reacting on a commondreams.org article: “How Corporate Democrats Made Trump Possible: A 10-Year Timeline.” Posted on Facebook.
I SAY, 25-year timeline. From 2000, Bill Clinton and Jiang Zemin's game-changing trade pact that paved the way for China's entry to the WTO the following year. The Democratic Party called it "globalization." Next, the U.S. 1 Percent got magnificently richer but (probably) they didn't foresee that that Washington template would make China's global trade expansionism more real.
Looking back, China quietly started its “new journey” right after Mao Zedong died (1976). Deng Xiaoping took over. The CCP’s “open door” policy snuck off the Great Wall, late-1970s. At that point, China started buying lands all over the globe (not in the U.S. where they own only below 1 percent of foreign-owned land).
And then in 2009, BRIC(S) was born to challenge G7; already, China's 4 state-owned banks "balanced" the loans scale that the IMF and World Bank used to monopolize. Etc etcetera.
The Dems (politics or corporate) didn't make Donald Trump. The “new” Left of America failed to see China's ascent but it is Mr Trump who knows how to keep the swing to favor the U.S. How? By playing China's trade game, not "counter-playing" Beijing's very fluid playbook. All this as Europe insists on a stubborn hawkish agenda via NATO expansion, which is clearly countered by BRICS' trade expansion. The narrative says The D weakens America yet he only took over and had to improvise from the Democratic Party's blunder in miscalculating the Chinese. 🏛🗽🏛
