As someone who is not an american nor a chinese nor from a big European nation this is all frightening to watch.
It's an invisible war of nations and we dont really have a clue about allegiances nor what is right or wrong.
Sure as a european I feel more connected to the US but at the same time I feel very much excluded from that larger sphere protection and benefits.
The US needs a framework for smaller nations where we can build better relations.

The Chinese regime is a totalitarian nightmare that not only became a massive surveillance state but also has a long track record of human rights abuse and extrajudicial assassinations. Between what the West enjoyed in the past half century and the oppressive hell that countries have endured in the hands of the Chinese regime, the choice is pretty clear, even if we take into account Putin's pull on Trump.

Europe almost as a monolithic whole has been fixated on a different economic model than the American model, but that's its own choice -- the U.S. did not impose its model on Europe. > The US needs a framework for smaller nations where we can build better relations. What could that be? We've had the U.N., NATO, the WTO, and what not.
