China and the United States exemplify contrasting models of governance and long-term strategy. By Johnson Choi, Oct 25 2025中国与美国展现了治理模式与长期战略的鲜明对比. 作者: 蔡永強, 2025年10月25日
China employs a methodical, forward-looking approach through its Five-Year Plans, which provide a stable and predictable policy roadmap. Once established, these plans are consistently implemented across all levels of government.
In contrast, the U.S. system often features more fluid and reactive policymaking, which can change with political cycles. Some observers characterize this as a less structured strategic approach.
On the global stage, China is actively deepening its economic ties and fostering partnerships under the framework of shared development. Concurrently, the U.S. has shown a tendency, at times, to reassess its international commitments, particularly in the face of strategic competition. This has historical precedent; the U.S. maintained a policy of non-intervention for much of its history until the post-WWII era.
For global businesses and professionals, China’s 15th Five-Year Plan represents a significant opportunity. A detailed study of its priorities can reveal promising sectors for investment and collaboration. This clear sense of direction is a key factor attracting top scientific talent from around the world, including from the U.S., to contribute to China’s innovation landscape.

How US legalized corruption? By Johnson Choi, Oct 24 2025 美國如何把腐败合法化? 作者: 蔡永強 2025年10月25日
The perception of widespread corruption at various levels of American government, coupled with a surprisingly low number of high-profile convictions, points to a complex and deeply ingrained systemic issue. 对美国各级政府普遍存在腐败的观感，与其引人注目的低定罪率形成鲜明对比，这揭示了一个复杂且根深蒂固的系统性问题.
The problem is not always one of overt, illegal bribery, but often of legalized influence-peddling and structural loopholes.
The Legalization of Corruption
A compelling argument can be made that the U.S. has effectively “legalized” certain forms of corruption. This is achieved through a system where powerful interests—including corporate entities and wealthy individuals—can legally funnel vast sums of money into the political process. This is done through:
· Campaign Finance: The Supreme Court’s Citizens United decision and similar rulings have opened the floodgates for unlimited political spending, allowing donors to gain significant access and influence. · Lobbying: A sophisticated lobbying industry exists to shape legislation and regulation in favor of those who can afford it, often creating laws with beneficial loopholes for specific industries. · The Revolving Door: A common practice where regulators and lawmakers leave public service for lucrative positions in the industries they once oversaw, and vice-versa.
For anyone seeking to navigate this system to their advantage, the essential tools are not just a good legal team, but also powerful lobbyists and strategic political connections.
The Challenge of Prosecution and the Perception of Impunity
This system creates a high bar for criminal prosecution. What may be perceived by the public as corruption is often, in a technical sense, perfectly legal under the very laws designed by the powerful.
This leads to the perception of a two-tiered justice system, where the connected and wealthy operate with impunity. This sentiment was particularly amplified during the Trump administration. The president’s use of pardon power for political allies, along with the repeated involvement of his family members in controversial business dealings, fueled allegations that proximity to power could shield one from legal consequences. This created a perception that for some, the normal rules did not apply.
A Global Allure
This environment helps explain why the United States can be an attractive destination for foreign capital, including from individuals with questionable backgrounds. The combination of a robust financial system, powerful legal tools for asset protection, and a political system that can be influenced by wealth, creates a perception of a safe haven for those seeking to secure and legitimize their fortunes.
In conclusion, the scarcity of convictions is not necessarily proof of a clean system, but rather evidence of a sophisticated one where influence is often codified into law, making it exceptionally difficult to hold the powerful accountable in a court of law.
China’s “trade war with the U.S.” lineup completed a “trump card” level reorganization on October 20! Li Chenggang was removed from his WTO position, but this was not a demotion; rather, it was to “concentrate firepower” and focus solely on tackling the United States! His successor is Li Yongsha, a legal powerhouse who once “sued the U.S. over countervailing measures”! 中國的“對美貿易戰”陣容，10月20日完成“王炸”級重組！李成鋼被免去WTO職務，但不是降級，而是“集中火力”專職死磕美國！接任的，是那個曾“起訴美國反補貼”的法律悍將李詠箑！
China’s “trade war with the U.S.” lineup completed a “trump card” level reorganization on October 20! Li Chenggang was removed from his WTO position, but this was not a demotion; rather, it was to “concentrate firepower” and focus solely on tackling the United States! His successor is Li Yongsha, a legal powerhouse who once “sued the U.S. over countervailing measures”!
When many people saw the news that “Li Chenggang was removed from his position as China’s Permanent Representative to the WTO,” their first reaction was, “Did something go wrong?”—this is completely mistaken. This personnel adjustment is by no means a demotion or marginalization but a precise “reorganization of forces” by China as Sino-U.S. trade games enter deep waters.
As early as April 2024, the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security officially appointed Li Chenggang as International Trade Representative of the Ministry of Commerce (at the ministerial level) and Vice Minister. His removal on October 20 simply relieved him of his concurrent role in Geneva, allowing him to transition fully from a “multilateral affairs coordinator” to the “chief commander of negotiations with the U.S.”
This seasoned official, a graduate of Peking University Law School with a master’s degree from the University of Hamburg in Germany, is no novice. Since 2010, as Director-General of the Department of Treaty and Law at the Ministry of Commerce, he has been deeply involved in the legal responses to almost all major trade dispute cases after China’s accession to the WTO. In 2021, he was sent to Geneva to oversee China’s core affairs within the WTO framework.
His return to Beijing to specialize in bilateral negotiations with the U.S. precisely indicates China’s intention to deploy those who best understand the rules and are most familiar with U.S. tactics to the most critical battlefield!
The timing of this personnel adjustment is also thought-provoking. October 20 coincides with the countdown to the previously agreed 90-day tariff suspension between China and the U.S. Although the two sides reached a consensus in May to reduce tariffs on certain goods, the U.S. still retains key leverage such as the so-called “fentanyl tariffs” and continues to exert pressure on issues like supply chain decoupling and technology controls. China’s personnel reshuffle at this time is clearly aimed at gaining the upper hand in the next phase of negotiations.
👉 Li Chenggang’s dedicated role in bilateral negotiations means China now has a core commander who understands both the law and policy and can directly engage with senior U.S. officials. His ministerial-level presence at the negotiating table ensures China’s voice is not diluted. Meanwhile, Li Yongsha’s return to the WTO frontline builds defenses at the multilateral rules level. The U.S. has frequently abused “countervailing and anti-dumping” tools and distorted WTO rules in recent years,恰好撞上 Li Yongsha’s area of expertise. In a 2016 interview with People’s Daily Online, he explicitly stated that China adopts a “comprehensive strike” strategy against U.S. countervailing and anti-dumping measures, having filed over 20 cases, with unparalleled practical experience.
👉 This combination of “frontline negotiations + backend rules” is not an impulsive move but has a successful precedent. The 2007 case where China sued the U.S. over countervailing and anti-dumping measures was orchestrated by Li Chenggang, then Director-General of the Department of Treaty and Law, with Li Yongsha’s team leading the charge, ultimately achieving a historic victory. Now, their roles have shifted, but the logic of professional complementarity and coordinated action remains unchanged.
👉 At a deeper level, this round of personnel deployment reflects an upgrade in China’s strategy for handling Sino-U.S. trade friction: transitioning from the early “tariff wars” to a new phase emphasizing “rules dominance + interest games.” Li Chenggang’s specialization enhances China’s tactical flexibility and decision-making efficiency in bilateral negotiations, while Li Yongsha’s return ensures China maintains legal initiative in the WTO, the supreme court of global trade.
👉 This is not an emotional operation of “dead-set against the U.S.” but a rational allocation of “letting professionals do their jobs.” In the silent battle of international trade, success depends on legal expertise, negotiation skills, and institutional resilience, not on who shouts the loudest. Li Chenggang knows how to turn rules into bargaining chips at the negotiating table, while Li Yongsha excels at transforming clauses into weapons in the courtroom. One focuses on offense, the other on defense; one secures practical interests upfront, the other safeguards the bottom line of rules behind the scenes—this is the true “trump card” combination.
Currently, the U.S. continues to attempt hijacking the multilateral system with unilateralism and distorting economic rules with political means. China’s personnel adjustment essentially counters U.S. irrational pressure with institutionalized professional strength. As observed after the May talks, China’s strategy remains clear: hard power is the foundation, gaming within rules is the means, and the ultimate goal is to maintain a fair, stable, and predictable global trade environment.
In the end, the Sino-U.S. trade game has long transcended simple tariff numbers, entering a deeper contest of systems, rules, and discourse power. The “double Li combo” of Li Chenggang and Li Yongsha is precisely the ace card China has played in this prolonged battle. One fights inch by inch at the negotiating table, the other stands firm in the rules arena, creating an integrated front with internal and external coordination, both offensive and defensive. Such a professional configuration not only effectively counters current U.S. pressure tactics but also prepares defenses for potential new types of trade friction in the future.
American logistic expert reports from China video: America’s farmers and first responders love Chinese drones. And that’s about to be a big problem. 美國物流專家從中國視訊報導有中文字幕: 美國農民和急救人員喜歡中國無人機。這即將成為一個大問題
Chinese companies dominate in the production of commercial drones, now in wide use across the world in agriculture, fire and rescue, engineering, and even in non-combat defense applications.
But the global supply chains for critical components also run through China, which poses a sourcing challenge for companies who custom-build their own.
Import bans are already in effect for Pentagon contractors and for first responders in some states. Now after a series of Trump Executive Orders and new bills at the Congressional level, Chinese drones and parts may be soon banned outright, nationally.
American farmers and ranchers are now dependent on Chinese-built drones in livestock management and harvesting. They, too, are now publicly stating that using non-Chinese drone equipment puts them at a deep disadvantage against farmers across the world.
Historical Resilience: Why China is Positioned to Endure the Trade War. By Johnson Choi, Oct 24 2025
历史韧性：中国为何能在贸易战中屹立不倒. 作者：蔡永強2025年10月24日
The current trade tensions are not a novel challenge for China, but rather a modern iteration of a historical pattern it has navigated for millennia. During the Warring States Period (476-221 BC) and the Three Kingdoms Era (220-280 AD), rival states engaged in protracted struggles for dominance and survival. While these were internal conflicts, the strategic principles of endurance, alliance-building, and long-term planning are deeply embedded in China’s strategic psyche.
This resilience was further tempered during the “Century of Humiliation” beginning in 1840. For over 150 years, China faced significant external pressures but lacked the economic and military strength to counter Western hegemony effectively. Today, that is no longer the case.
Recent analyses, including my own on the decline of empires and the end of the petrodollar system, highlight a critical shift. These studies of history, when applied to current events, suggest that the United States is facing an inflection point reminiscent of past declining powers. I do not say this to demonize the U.S., but to state an observable fact: its unipolar moment is concluding. If not a full collapse, the U.S. may retreat into a posture of isolationism, similar to its stance from 1776 until the post-WWII era.
However, such a retreat would be far more feasible for the United States—or Russia—than for China. Both are continental powers capable of economic self-containment. China’s destiny has always been, and will always be, intertwined with global engagement. For centuries, its prosperity has been built on making friends and expanding trade. This is not a new strategy; it is the reactivation of its historical role as a central node in the global network of commerce, a position it is now reclaiming.
Trump sued Trump Government, Trump approved the settlement and write himself a US$230 millions check! This could only happen in America! 川普起訴川普政府，川普批准和解，給自己開了一張2.30億美元的支票！這種事只有在美國才會發生!
The year is 2025, and the most important agreement in modern economic history just expired. For fifty years, every barrel of oil sold on Earth was priced in US dollars. That single fact made America the most powerful nation on the planet—even though we produce almost nothing and owe $36 trillion to everyone. That system just ended. And the media isn’t telling you.
In 1974, Henry Kissinger made a secret deal with Saudi Arabia. They would price all oil exclusively in dollars. In exchange, America would provide military protection. Through OPEC, this extended to every oil-producing nation. Suddenly, if you needed energy, you needed dollars first. This created artificial demand that let the United States print unlimited money, run massive trade deficits, accumulate crushing debt, and never face consequences. We exported inflation. We imported goods. And the world paid for it by holding our currency in reserves.
That agreement just expired in 2025. Saudi Arabia announced they won’t renew it. They joined BRICS. They’re accepting yuan from China, rupees from India. They’re diversifying out of dollars. And they’re not alone. In 2000, 73% of global reserves were dollars. Today, under 55%. China dumped $300 billion in Treasuries. Russia abandoned dollars entirely. Even allies like France are reducing exposure. The world is exiting the dollar system. Fast.
When those dollars flood back home—when central banks stop absorbing our inflation—your purchasing power collapses. Imports become unaffordable. Gas. Electronics. Medicine. Food. Everything made overseas, which is almost everything, explodes in price. Your savings evaporate. Your paycheck buys less every month. And the government can’t stop it. Raising rates crashes the economy and makes the debt unsustainable. Printing more accelerates the collapse. There’s no good option.
This has happened before. Every reserve currency fails. The Spanish dollar. The Dutch guilder. The British pound. All collapsed after overextension, war, debt, and money printing destroyed confidence. The dollar’s been reserve currency since 1944. Eighty years. That’s longer than most last. And the pattern is repeating. Endless wars. Crushing debt. Money printing. Loss of confidence. The script is written. We’re just watching it play out.
The petrodollar dies in 2025. The dollar’s dominance dies with it. Most people won’t see it coming. But the smart money already moved. They understand that paper money is worth only what others believe it’s worth. And that belief is breaking right now.
💬 Why Watch This
This isn’t theory. The petrodollar agreement expired. Dedollarization is accelerating. The same pattern that destroyed every previous reserve currency is repeating with the dollar. Your savings, your paycheck, your retirement—all denominated in a currency losing global dominance. Whether you understand what’s happening and prepare, or stay ignorant and get destroyed, is the only choice left. History has the answers. The pattern is clear. The timing is now.
