Few people noticed how many backhands Trump has given Xi who had quietly been gathering strategic positions for 30 years.....
Trump’s foreign policy strategic defeats for China (2025–2026):
Greenland: Focus and economic and strategic defensive posture chasing Chinks out.
Panama Canal: Chinese firm CK Hutchison lost control of both ends after Panama court ruling and U.S. pressure.
Venezuela: U.S. raid removed Maduro; Venezuelan oil redirected away from China.
Cuba: Maximum-pressure sanctions cut Cuban oil revenue and limited Chinese infrastructure deals.
Iran: Secondary sanctions disrupted Chinese purchases of Iranian oil. Mullah’s killed removing Iran/Nork double squeeze vs US....
Latin America: Multiple nations (incl. Argentina) dropped Chinese military/BRI deals under U.S. pressure.
Energy access: Combined Venezuela/Iran actions raised costs for China’s discounted oil imports.
Chasing Chic-om’s out of Polynesia and from the stupid surrender by Britannia of Diego Garcia....
And some more.......but it’s not important to me, and what do I know?
Good list. Thanks.
