i forget who it was who said it... but someone said other day - "Trump should win the Nobel peace prize - as Noone else has managed to stop the same war 27 times like he has.." |  |

Having started a war, not only has Trump now discovered they can be very difficult to stop, but that he also has to pay for it.
This could really be the dawn of China's era, with both Russia and the USA having got themselves tangled up in expensive and attritional situations which are also draining global support and respect. Europe will be in the game, but are very much playing catch-up. India has a lot of inertia (e.g. domestic prosperity imbalance) and archaic systems to overcome.
Taking a very long view, this may be the return of the historical civilisations as the brash newcomers overreach and falter. |  |

Totally agree, China is undoubtedly the biggest beneficiary of the chaos. With Russia they’ve effectively been able to tap cheap oil and gas (often with Russia selling at a loss), and even getting Russia to fund the infrastructure. They are also experts at playing both sides, because they are ultimately helping fund Russia’s war on Europe, and providing dual use equipment which ultimately ends up in weapons in Ukraine. |  | | |

China's problem is their economy is obviously built on producing products the rest of the world buys, and especially America buys. A weak America hits and hurts China and the rest of the world incapable of filling the gap, which is why China is desperate for global stability.
Conversely a strong China is killing some industries in Europe. Look at VW, just announced 100,000 job cuts, the Chinese car industry of cheap labour (low wages, no benefits etc) is killing the German car industry.
We are in a pivotal moment, and Trump's short term gain approach is causing major issues, especially as he's not producing any short term gain, just short term pain.
Iran being the classic example, he thought he could go in and win it in a couple of weeks, now he doesn't have a clue how it get out of it without being viewed as a defeat. |  | | |

'The US, the world’s largest economy, represents roughly 14% of global imports, and many affected Chinese exporters successfully diverted shipments to new markets.'

The United States is important but not all embracing in World trade, so I think we are seeing a diminution of their influence economically but they are not going to disappear overnight. All the same, Trump's miscalculations will 'Make America Weaker Again' and give other markets opportunities to take the best products at the keenest prices where they can. |  |
