Jimmy Carter, 95, a former US president who took over the US presidency between 1977 and 1981 and led the first steps of normalization between Washington and Beijing, was approved yesterday in his comment on trade discussions between his country and China, The latter excels in almost everything, explaining this in three important points ...
First ... we have wasted about $ 3 trillion on military spending, while China has not lost a single penny of war and has been preoccupied with investments, and perhaps that is the main reason why it is ahead of us in almost everything.
Secondly, if we had put the $ 3 trillion in infrastructure we would have something left of it and we would have had a more developed educational system than South Korea and Hong Kong.
Third, the United States of America is the world's most warfare country in the history of the world, because of the tendency to try to compel others to adopt our American principles.
The remarks of Carter, the longest-serving American president, come alive as the current US administration, led by President Donald Trump, is engaged in tough trade negotiations with China in order to reach a historic trade agreement that includes all the files that sparked a trade war between the two sides Since the summer of 2018
