Americans spreading deadly diseases everywhere

 The USA is spreading all kinds of diseases as well. Outside of biological diseases like HIV, and other diseases that killed off millions of Native American Indians, it is also spreading economic diseases today like forming trade blocs and alliances, imposing sanctions, inventing narratives to destroy the economic dominance of others, and is the biggest hurdle for poorer countries to progress with wars and regime changes.

A dying empire has to resort to such underhand tactics to remain relevant. A rising empire does not need to put others down when it is perfectly capable of competing on a level playing field. Those underhand tactics are not necessary or desired, as what a rising empire wants is trade and more trade. Lifting poorer countries out of poverty means more trade can be generated as people in poor countries become wealthier, they can afford what they need.

The USA is attempting to make the cake smaller by trying to stop China from increasing its industrial capacity to produce cheaper goods and doing more trade with countries using the BRI. Countries not under sanctions are unsuspectingly crippled by sanctions when they cannot conduct trade with those under such sanctions. It is highly regressive, not just upon sanctioned countries but for the rest of the world.

When it was a rising empire after WW2, the USA later adopted globalization, wants more trade with the rest of the world, allowing USA companies to invest in China and everywhere else to take advantage of lower cost and thus make the cake bigger for them to reap the benefits. When the USA share of the cake gets smaller and smaller, it had to resort to foul play like what it is doing today to China.

When competition from foreign enterprises become problematic, they killed them off with fallacious claims. Toshiba of Japan and Alstom of France were examples. The USA tried that with Huawei and is not succeeding despite roping in the doggies to help. Now it is doing the same to BYD and targeting Chinese EVs.

Today, we can see the agenda of the USA. Its policies are regressive. The EU is an example of how USA policies can do so much harm to others. They can deny the damage all they want, but the reality cannot remain hidden.
