The U.S. government remains in its stagnated condition while that of China continues to advance its main objective; to become the economic superpower of the world. It does not waste its wealth on the pursuit of useless wars but, rather, invests it in working with nations all over the world on mutual productive endeavors.
As the U.S government continues to conduct a relentless bombing campaign in Syria, destroying infrastructure, and launching drones and their deadly missiles down upon the countries of Somalia and Yemen, the Chinese are accelerating in a totally different direction, investing in projects with excellent returns on those investments.
China has a very ambitious initiative, called "One Belt, One Road," with a massive scope and scale like no other in modern history, with the objective of investing more than $1 trillion in infrastructure building involving more than 60 countries. China will be pumping hundreds of billions of dollars into railways, roads, ports, pipelines, and utility grids.
While China is pursuing these highly ambitious infrastructure projects with all these nations, this U.S. government can't even figure out how to fund the repair of its own crumbling infrastructure.
A new day is dawning in the world as it seems to be on the verge of a kind of "changing of the guard", i.e., when a dramatic change relative to world leadership is on the horizon. When closely watching events unfolding in the world today we might well draw the conclusion that Chine is ascending into that top spot, passing America as it continues to descend.
What are the U.S. government's objectives, its plan to interact and cooperate with other nations to make things better in the world? Well things don't seem to be going so well as the Trump administration has managed to damage its relations with several nations that have been allies and friends and allies for some time.
Here are some clear signs of the difference between the U.S. and China in their relations with other countries, and why China's influence among these nations is rapidly increasing, while that of America is on the decline:
The relationship between Germany and China, already huge trading partners, is becoming even stronger.
Chancellor Merkel of Germany and President Macron of France have made it clear that they are no longer going to rely on American leadership and will go their own way in the future.
