Trump is no outsider. The only "outsider" thing about him is that he just says the quiet parts(racism, xenophobia, misogyny, etc.) out loud and its crass compared to the rest.

Yep!
Indeed!
China’s “Central Kingdom” myopia, while, wholely, understandable as a developing nation, will not serve it well as a developed nation. In order to complete, effectively, China must compete in all domains in which there is competition. As the BRI extends across the continent, and even across the seas, China must provide security, not only to its investments and investors, but also to its nationals that service these investments, and to political and business classes/cliques that make these investments possible.
Even the way that China has outsourced the security of its contractors in Pakistan demonstrates, to me, a level of “sensitivity“ that’s unwarranted. Sensitive, or significant projects and investments should be coupled with security arrangements and agreements that privilege Chinese prerogatives as to their constitution. Put most simply, China will need its embassies to function more like U. S. embassies, and to insist on routine extended naval port visits in countries in which significant Chinese investments are in place. Negotiating for periodic cross-training with the elite military formations of these countries would also allow China to obtain influence within this domain, as well, potentially making military leadership more amenable to the political and business classes‘ pro-Chinese orientation.
Yes, this smacks of Colonialism, but it could also be seen as anti-Colonialism, as long as the security arrangements follow-upon mutually-agreed upon, mutually-beneficial, non-coercive, non-externally-imposed, economic/business agreements.
For those unfamiliar with Qadaffi’s Libyan revolution, look and see where the Russian Fleet conveniently had a task-force stationed when the coup was effected.

Your understanding of the workings Colonialism is sound; your interpretation of Trump is naive and worrisome!
Why is it that so many people, around the world, but particularly east Asians (it seems to me), fail to see Trump as simply another, very American, snake-oil salesman, charlatan?
Possibly, your knowledge of world, and systems, history is deeper than is your knowledge of American history. Actually, I find no fault in that.
But, Trump? There is nothing of substance, there; nothing! The fundamental bases for analyses and interpretation of that subject are psychological, not political.

Hence why the US wants everyone to be Christians also. The guy said he wanted to break relations with China because they were communists.
Plenty of Republican candidates say the racist part out loud, hasn't stopped them from becoming more popular. Against the right groups it is seen as a positive.
There are many reasons why the deep state hates Trump, if I were to guess the number one it that he is totally incompetent.

The UK is not only politically corrupt, its so-called freedom of the press is also utterly useless.
Compare and contrast:
If you are an Asian-American, be careful, be really careful!

Papua New Guinea also.
how is Great Britain number one . Obama told them they will be at the back of que of trade deal if they did brexit and US not endorsed there person for Nato top job. There is also US support for northern Ireland protocol. infact Ireland has higher per capita GDP than Great Britain and US firms have big role in it.
US has great ability to transform countries that no one else have. Look at that Gulf Monarchies or some of US Asian allies. I can bet if Argentina show same competency as Mexico US will look more favorably at it. there is plenty of articles about near shoring to South America. These countries need to take the opportunity.
