The unexpected humility of Donald Trump
For a man who built his political brand on violent negotiations, threats and dominance of a zero sum, Donald Trump's fresh behaviour in Beijing is simply astonishing. I watched the accounts erstwhile he landed in China, greeted by a welcome on the red carpet, including a military honor defender and a warm slap on Xi Jinping's shoulder. Trump posted on fact Social the entry "Open China", but in fact came with a nearly zero advantage, desperately asking Beijing for favors in Iran and trade matters.
It's not the 2017 Trump that jams Beijing with tariff threats.
As John Mearsheimer noted in a May 2026 podcast, Trump felt he had a immense advantage over China after the 2024 election, but the Chinese responded, reminding him that the US is heavy dependent on Chinese supply chains and uncommon lands.
Flattery — Calling Xi his "friend," inviting him to the White home in September – are a sign of weakness, not strength.
erstwhile a man who never shows respect, abruptly humbles himself, it means that he no longer has any cards to play.
China strategy: stableness over chaos
China wants global stableness to keep industrial dominance and defend trade routes.
American neoconservatives and the falling empire want chaos to paralyze rising powers specified as China — opposing goals explain tensions. As I wrote in "The Doctrine of Plenty" In February of this year, strategical innovations in China overcome US economical strangulation.
Beijing's consequence to Trump's duties was not concessions, but the acceleration of de-dollarisation with BRICS countries, as described in my article "Trump's Tariffs Spark Global Trade Revolt"[1].
During the Trump-Xi summit, both sides agreed that the Strait of Ormuz must stay open, but the actual communicative is that China has already won a long game. As the BBC reported on May 12:
"Decade later Trump will return to stronger and more assertive China"[2].
Xi warned that bad management of Taiwan could make "very dangerous situation"[3] Trump had no answers.
erstwhile the president of the United States can't even endanger duties without harming his own economy, he negotiates from a position of full submission.
Military reality: China does not request carriers
The days of the American naval supremacy are over. Hypertensive missiles and a fleet of Chinese drones make US aircraft strike groups obsolete.
As I noticed on my February 2025 program, "China leads planet in 38 of 44 key technologies including AI, materials, robotics and hypersonics" [4].
(This number is now much higher, and China is ahead in 60 of the 65 key technologies that our planet needs.)
The fresh U.S. withdrawal in the Strait of Ormuz, where Iran threatened to attack all ship, and the U.S. Navy had difficulty getting through, proves that the era of undisputed American power had come to an end.
China already has the largest fleet in the planet in terms of the number of ships and within a decade it will dominate the seas without the request to usage conventional aircraft carriers.
The Pentagon is presently feverishly buying 10,000 inexpensive maneuvering missiles and 12,000 inexpensive hypersonic weapons from fresh defence companies [5], But it's not adequate and it's besides late.
As I have repeatedly said, the empire of America is in its final stages.
The American military is simply a hollow dinosaur, while China is building fresh generation weapons for a fraction of the cost.
Technological Overpower: Why Microchip Sanctions Failed
The sanctions for Biden microchips were intended to paralyze AI improvement in China.
Instead, they failed spectacularly.
As I spoke to Jeffrey Prathe in April 2025, "China has shown world-class efficiency in AI applications and the ability to build microchips, making Trump's duties on microchips technology and ban Nvidia chips production for China irrelevant"[6].
DeepSeek, Huawei and another companies developed their own lithographic machines and trained advanced models on limited layouts.
Eric Schmidt even warned that the AI arms race could trigger a global conflict over data centers [7].
Meanwhile, the U.S. is losing due to the ideology of the woke and censorship.
In my January 2025 interview with Alex Jones, we agreed that wokeism inhibited AI improvement in America, while China emerges as leaders of super intelligence [8].
Nvidia plant at $500 billion in the U.S. is simply a desperate decision to counter China's ban on export of uncommon lands [9], But it won't make that difference.
China's STEM graduates are 4 to 5 times more than the U.S., and their smartest engineers win the race for super intelligence.
American technological dominance is left behind.
Trump's empty hands
Trump's flattery is simply a desperate request to China to be milder than the US.
There is no dominant leverage in trade, military or technology.
The duties he imposed are a self-inflicted wound, as described in item in "Abundant Doctrine" [10].
The US dollar is threatened by BRICS dedolation, as Trump's own customs accelerated global trade rebellion [1]. erstwhile Trump sat down with Xi, the Chinese leader appointed an agenda: Taiwan, the limitations of uncommon lands and Iran. Trump could only offer more "friends" and a future visit to the White House.
As for negotiations with China, America no longer has any cards. China will dictate relations from now on. As I wrote in "The Terminal Phase" in February 2026, America's post-war dominance reached its final, disintegrating from a long-term, self-harmed decay [11]. The humility we see in Trump is not a negotiating tactic; the inevitable conclusion is that China is now taking the dominant position of force. And the American nation, fed with propaganda about the power of the United States, is only beginning to see this reality.
Summary: The fall of American prestige
The sight of Donald Trump — the man who promised to 'make America large again' — bowing down and humbled before Xi Jinping is the eventual proof that the empire is in its final stages.
China does not gotta endanger or brag;
It just waits, builds and lasts longer.
The U.S., burdened with debt, cultural decline and fallen political class, has nothing to offer but flattery and empty promises.
As I have repeatedly said, the only way forward for Americans is to decentralize, prepare and reject the failed institutions that led us here.
China keeps all the cards on the board of a geopolitical strategy, and Trump's humility is simply a surrender that most Americans did not expect.
But he's inactive here.
Get ready.
