except Germany had a chance to be China today with industry 4.0 but decided white supremacy was more important so they can lay in the bed they made.

"I believe that this issue, and these strong attacks by the West against the establishment of families and against the culture of the nations, is another area of cooperation for Iran and Uganda,” Raisi said after a private meeting with Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni.
I agree about him taking news too seriously but he is right about Chinese foreign policy being too passive. For example, recently NED cooked up an anti-China hysteria in Thailand and got anti-China parties elected. What good is spending billions on BRI when you are unwilling to spend a few billion on cultivating friendly media and groups?

U.S. Joint Chiefs pick pursues more Indo-Pacific outposts
Gen. Brown says Washington needs to improve logistics capability in the regionWASHINGTON -- President Joe Biden's pick to head the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff has said the military under his watch would seek more operational sites in the Indo-Pacific region and work to strengthen Taiwan's self-defense capabilities.
The nominee, Gen. Charles Brown, answered questions during a confirmation hearing held Tuesday by the Senate Armed Services Committee. As chairman of the Joint Chiefs, Brown would serve as the country's highest-ranking officer and one of Biden's top advisers.
If confirmed, Brown would be the of the Joint Chiefs after Gen. Colin Powell, the late officer and statesman who stepped down nearly three decades ago. The current chairman, Gen. Mark Milley, is due to retire in September.
"I'm mindful of the security challenges at this consequential time and the need to accelerate to stay ahead of the growing threat," Brown told the senators, with an eye on China. "The Department of Defense must implement the national defense strategy and prepare a joint force that can win the next war, if called upon."
For the Indo-Pacific, Brown discussed how it takes time to move military resources across the "massive" distances in the region.
"You cannot wait till the crisis occurs to be able to deploy capability," he said. "You have to preposition capability and have that in place. You have to work with allies and partners to have access to locations."

Brown served as commander of the Pacific Air Forces from 2018 to 2020 before becoming the chief of staff of the Air Force. To respond to crises in the Indo-Pacific, he has advocated transitioning the air forces from large bases to smaller sites spread across the region.
