A New World Order

President Trump has always been very vocal about his dealings with China, beginning with unfair trade practices all the way to national security concerns. He even went back as far as China's membership with the World Trade Organization that should have been dealt with some sort of opposition. China has been riding on the United States for much of its economic development in recent years that it has become unfair to the point parasitism.

In early years, Trump has tried to address this by slapping tariffs on China's transactions which will pretty much hurt its currency valuation. By doing so, the US has put pressure on China to go back to negotiations. China responded to these measures by calling out the United States to stop the cold war mentality, shift to multilateralism and aim for joint prosperity.

A lot of failure in dealing with China has been blamed on the Democrats. Trump is seen to be balancing American interests as China aims to become first world. But China's behavior internally, with its solid record of human rights abuses, and its dealings with Hong Kong has put it in so much bad light that the prosperous nations has every right to be skeptical about its global ambitions.

The United States elections in November will become a pivotal moment in history as elections will determine if Trump's policies will continue, as well as his dealings with the press. The important question in the polling stations is for voters to ask if the country still needs a republican, or if a democrat must take the reins at this point.

Eventually, as economic policies are ironed out, an eventual consequence is international relations. A lot has changed since the Second World War and the dynamics has gone evolving. The economic powers have risen from the triumphs as well as defeats. Germany and Japan, for one, has become prosperous and responsible both economically and military.

A dawning new world order has become to materialize; as new demarcation lines are drawn, international relations have no other choice but to adapt to the changes.

Addendum:

Rest in peace, Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. The world has lost an icon for women's rights and equality.
