I am an American that loves to read the Global Times sometimes because it often has brilliant pieces. Media like we use to have before the internet.

Chinese leaders might even understand America better than we understand ourselves.

I had just read an op ed the other day how America has no strategic thinkers in positions of power at this point. Someone like Kissinger. I don't even know how to argue with that because we don't. We don't even have the political will to want someone like that. We want a circus. China can see this, we are basically blind to it.
