This is scary, but also a trove of information on a subject that is a huge rhetorical weak spot for MAGA supporters. They're committed to being tough on China (Trump's long-standing obsession since before his first term), but their inability to grapple with arguments about how DOGE policies actually benefit Beijing makes them want to change the subject. Now with these concrete examples from your reporting, it'll be much harder for them to sidestep the issue. Or perhaps more accurately: make them look even more dumb when they do sidestep the issue.
Thanks Elise for providing this arsenal of specific evidence that shows how America's transformation from moral leader to "landlord seeking rent" is playing right into China's hands. I really, really wish it wasn’t true, but since it is, might as well use this information against the propagandists in power.
I wonder if Trump is actually committed to being tough on China. I don't think so. Not if actions speak louder than words. It seems that Trump is actually trying to align with China and Russia.
I think I tend to agree. But I am not sure if a Trump voter would be tempted to say that’s Trump’s goal, and therefore makes it a difficult place for them to argue that DOGE handing China immense power is a good thing in their eyes.
