As a non-American who follows US happenings via non-MSM sources, such as this platform, I sense that initiatives like DEI for e.g. are dumbing down education including STEM, making your country uncompetitive with others. So it was good to see you highlight the impact of China, which it seems many leaders in your country have ignored from that perspective.
No doubt China has its own problems post-covid, but they certainly seem to be trying to course-correct, begging the question of whether the US is doing the same. Having family/friends who live there, I know it is a great country despite some politicians trying to make it weak. Your essay deserves a wider readership; I wish for e.g. it could even be featured in the Free Press.
I’d also like to say that as someone from a place that benefited from free trade, I never realised till more recently how your leaders who pushed free trade never implemented any retraining or safeguards for their own populations that would be affected.
