President Xi of China has opened his kimono while speaking to the assembled financial poobahs at Davos, Switzerland. I know that it is a long, subtly nuanced speech, but if you have been watching evolving world events, it should send a chill up your spine ... see: CNBC video.
A Biden-voting friend, who has not been following things very closely, asked me to summarize it for him.
My answer, “We’re fucked ...”
Afterward: You may have to pull the red dot at the bottom of the video to the right to save some dead time.
STAND UP FOR AMERICA!

Better Summary:
We should respect and accommodate differences, avoid meddling in other countries’ internal affairs and resolve disagreements through consultation and dialogue. History and reality have made it clear time and again that the misguided approach of antagonism and confrontation — be it in the form of a cold war, hot war, trade war or tech war — will eventually hurt all countries’ interest and undermine everyone’s well-being.
And you (and much of the world) believe him. That’s a large part of what sent the chill up my spine ... and why we are screwed ...
