The igno­min­ious deba­cle in Afghanistan was pre­dictable and pre­dict­ed. Afghans, like most peo­ple, don’t appre­ci­ate for­eign invaders occu­py­ing their coun­try. Just ask the British and the Rus­sians. But the U.S., in its impe­r­i­al hubris, thought it was dif­fer­ent. It would nation-build in Afghanistan and bring democ­ra­cy to that land. Mean­while, Chi­na is watch­ing the U.S. squan­der its wealth on mil­i­tary adven­tures. The decline of U.S. pow­er is evi­dent. In its place, Chi­na is rapid­ly expand­ing its influ­ence. Its Belt and Road Ini­tia­tive is an ambi­tious glob­al infra­struc­ture project, a new Silk Road. Chi­na, as the quip goes, had a bad cou­ple of cen­turies of wars, famine and dis­ease but now it is back. It’s a force to be reck­oned with. Its eco­nom­ic clout is increas­ing and it will soon be the world’s biggest economy.
