This was another great interview with a better world view. Although China has it's internal issues, their foreign economic policies are reshaping the world one region at a time. For all of the efforts by the Americans to isolate China, it seems that China is slowly isolating the United States and it's European allies with their make nice and get along to make money attitude.
If the Americans don't change their attitudes towards the emerging multipolar world soon, they will find themselves cut off from a large part of the global trade world and devolve into something like what Britain look like now.
The SCOTUS passed down egregious decisions that abridge the First Amendment and show contempt for the concept of representative democracy. Buckley v. Valeo, 424 U.S. 1976, and exacerbated by continuing stupid SCOTUS decisions, First National Bank of Boston v. Bellotti, Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission, and McCutcheon v. Federal Election Commission.
These decisions have codified the idea that money is free speech, thereby giving entities of wealth and power total influence over elections.

Einar is spot on.
