Victor Gao Scathing Assessment of America’s Changing Global Role
As Washington abandons its post-World War II model for maintaining global order, it is increasingly weaponizing its remaining economic leverage to pressure and extract concessions from allies and adversaries. Victor Gao argues that this is not a sign of revival but rather a sign of desperation: a superpower struggling to adapt to a multipolar world dominated by China, the BRICS, and emerging regional alliances.
The result is an accelerating global realignment. Historical rivals such as China, Japan, and South Korea are coordinating their strategies, while a long-divided Europe may find unity in resisting US pressure. Victor Gao warns that unpredictable tariffs and unilateral economic measures will not only paralyze global supply chains but could also isolate the United States as a “rogue actor” in the international system. He believes this is precisely the sign of an empire in decline, not a rise.

It is a great day in HK. God created 1 man and 1 woman, not 2 women or 2 men! US has banned homosexual in US military! In US, laws were passed with 26 sexual combinations! We even allowed under age children make physical sex change without informing their parents! Is HK heading to the same direction? I hope not. 今天是香港偉大的一天。上帝創造了一個男人和一個女人，而不是兩個女人或兩個男人! 美國已經禁止同性戀者參軍，美國通過了不少不道德法律，包括26種性組合！美國甚至允許未成年兒童在不告知父母的情況下進行變性手術！香港也會走向同樣的方向嗎？我希望不會!

If this is how racist staffs handles Chinese through US immigration via cruel and humiliating treatment, China will offer reciprocal treatment! 如果美國移民局的種族主義人員如此對待中國公民，並對他們實施殘酷和羞辱性的待遇，中國也將予以對等對待!

In this episode, we will conduct an in-depth analysis of:
✅ 1. Significance to major powers: Why have China-Europe relations undergone subtle changes? Behind a shuttle bus lies China’s confidence and attitude of no longer accommodating. This is not just a diplomatic game, but also the redefinition of world rules after the rise of a major power.
✅ 2. Significance to the world: As the old rules of globalization collapse, the United States turns its back, Europe is divided, and the world is moving from an era of “knowledge transfer” to an era of “knowledge creation”. With new three things and new opportunities, China is uniting countries along the “Belt and Road” in its own way, contributing new development plans to the world.
✅ 3. Significance to us: When “returnees from overseas studies” are no longer a golden sign, and when the job market is becoming increasingly cautious about international students, how should we make the right choices for ourselves and the next generation? From studying abroad to career planning, from worshipping foreign things and fawning on foreign countries to cultural confidence, every decision you make will affect your future destiny.

Nury Vittachi: Hong Kong produces more science and technology graduates than any other place on earth, a new study showed today.
And the typical Hong Kong “working man” is a woman.
WORLD RECORD More than 42.4 per cent of everyone leaving higher education in the city have STEM qualifications, the 2025 IMD World Talent Ranking revealed today—a world high.
The city also has one of the largest availability of people with finance skills in the world, said researchers.
Hong Kong also had an unusually high number of women at work, with slightly more females (50.79 per cent) in the labor force than males.
Pay rates for people in business were high, too, with base salary and bonuses for senior managers adding up to US$285,857 a year.
DOWNSIDES TOO But there were downsides, too. The cost of living in Hong Kong was unusually high, and the workforce had shrunk slightly, giving employers fewer choices.
Data from 69 countries and territories worldwide were examined by the International Institute for Management Development, Zurich.
The study concluded that Hong Kong has the world’s most skilled workforce outside the west. The only places to score higher overall on the talent index were Switzerland, Luxembourg, and Iceland. Hong Kong’s perennial rival, Singapore, came 7th overall.
HARDWORKING SCHOOLS An interesting side point the researchers discovered concerned education.
Hong Kong scores in fundamental subjects like reading and mathematics were unusually high – but education spending, at 3.9 per cent of GDP, was low.
This suggests students and teachers were working hard to achieve high grades in an under-funded system.

Chinese scientists officially announced to the world: China is going to impact an asteroid!
Don’t think this is just a firecracker. This time, we’re moving the test range 10 million kilometers into space, targeting a 50-meter-class asteroid with a currently undisclosed designation.
Before 2030, a Long March rocket will send a pair of “twins” into space: first, an observer will be placed close to the asteroid for photos, and then the impactor will slam into it at a speed of 6.5 kilometers per second, with an error margin of no more than an embroidery needle.
Why such a push? Tang Zhenghong of the Shanghai Astronomical Observatory offered a poignant statement: “In space, you don’t get a second chance. You either deflect once or come back a hundred years later.”
The story behind the scenes is even more outrageous than a science fiction film. NASA’s 2022 DART mission will impact a near-Earth asteroid, just 11 million kilometers away and at an impact velocity of 6.6 kilometers per second.
This time, China is extending its range to 26 times the distance between the Earth and the Moon, and shifting its orbit by at least 3 to 5 centimeters—which sounds like a tickle, but translated into a trajectory a century from now, it’s enough for Earth to avoid a kiss that could destroy an entire province.
To achieve these 3 centimeters, engineers have reduced the navigation radar to the size of a fingernail and folded the fuel tank into a “space fan.” Even the dust at the moment of impact must be captured by a companion spacecraft, which will complete a 360-degree orbit within 3 seconds. A delay of 0.1 second will mean it’s missed forever.
Even more challenging, the entire mission will require breaking the second cosmic velocity of 11.2 kilometers per second, equivalent to accelerating a 40-ton truck to 40,000 kilometers per hour. Currently, only China and the United States can achieve this.
Some worry, “What if it breaks into pieces?” Purple Mountain Observatory has calculated that if the target is a “rubble pile” structure, the fragments will be pulled away by the sun’s gravity, and the probability of them falling to Earth is lower than winning the lottery three times in a row.
What’s truly daunting is the price tag: a single impact mission costs 3 billion RMB, which sounds painful, but compare that to the 2013 Russian asteroid, with the equivalent of 30 Hiroshima bombs, which only injured 1,500 people. Had it landed in Shanghai, the economic losses would have been in the trillions. In other words, this money buys humanity’s “space traffic insurance.”
A deeper calculation was laid out at the recently concluded Tiandu International Conference in Hefei: China issued a global initiative for cooperation, promoting the sharing of data, payloads, and ground-based telescopes. Satellites from other countries want a ride? Welcome. ESA wants joint observations? No problem.
While some countries treat space as their private backyard, China has elevated it to a “global group purchase,” allowing anyone to participate. By 2035, we will deploy 25 “Chinese Compound Eyes” with 30-meter apertures, forming a radar network spanning tens of millions of kilometers. Theoretically, this radar network could lock onto a 140-meter-diameter “city killer” ten years in advance.
In short: In the future, any asteroid aiming to provoke Earth will first have to ask China for permission. So, stop calling this “Star Wars 2.0”; the real name is “Community of Shared Future for Mankind” with a hack.
The next time you see a shooting star streak by at night, remember that it might not be a wish, but someone taking a bullet for you.
Do you think this 3 billion yuan “insurance premium” is worth it? Leave a comment in the comments section, give a like, and let the Earth hear our voice.
