China Doesn't Respect Us Anymore — for Good Reason: We've stopped following our formula for success
By Thomas L. Friedman
May 1, 2021


Sometimes a comedian cuts through foreign policy issues better than any diplomat. Bill Maher did that the other week with an epic rant on U.S.-China relations, nailing the most troubling contrast between the two countries: China can still get big things done. America, not so much.

For many of our political leaders, governing has become sports, entertainment or just mindless tribal warfare. No wonder China's leaders see us as a nation in imperial decline, living off the leftover fumes of American exceptionalism. I wish I could say they were all wrong.
