It does matter.
But we need to we need to be modest in the expectations of what that means.
So the Europeans today
really mistrust the United States.
That is not making them trust the Chinese more.
The one part of China's economy that is really going gangbusters is not the domestic economy.
It is their export of manufactured goods around the world, which is
a dumping strategy that is here truly hollowing out industries in other countries like in Europe.
And so it's not like the Europeans are suddenly saying, we're going to work with the Chinese and that's going to be our principal alliance and it's no more NATO and that's not going to give them influence with the US.
So in those big picture ways,
I don't suddenly see this being a Cold War, two blocks, and the Chinese are picking off a bunch of countries.
I think it's much more complicated than that.
The Japanese don't suddenly trust the Chinese.
In fact, they're in a big fight with the Chinese right now over Taiwan.
And the Chinese are cutting off their tourism and not buying the seafood anymore.
It's gotten much worse.
So the Japanese are closer to the United States, despite feeling that the Americans are acting in an extortionate way.
And their top leaders have told me that directly, extortionate.
in how badly the Americans have mistreated their best friend, the Japanese.
Now, having said all of that, we are seeing things that are going to matter long-term.
