Remember the 1994 Tonya Harding scandal, where a rival's kneecap attack shocked the world? 🌨️ A top Chinese scholar is now comparing U.S. tactics toward China to that infamous moment. Victor Gao, vice president of the Center for China and Globalization, claims America's push to 'wipe China out of competition' mirrors Harding's 'win-at-all-costs' mindset—and it’s risking global stability.
🔍 Gao argues U.S. sanctions and aggression could backfire, harming both economies. 'Cooperation, not kneecapping, is the real path forward,' he says. With tech wars and trade tariffs dominating headlines, this analogy hits home for Gen Z watching the geopolitical drama unfold like a reality TV show 🍿.
🤝 China remains open to dialogue, Gao emphasizes, but warns the world can’t afford a 'zero-sum game' in an era of climate crises and AI breakthroughs. Will the U.S. swap its 'Tonya Harding playbook' for teamwork? The stakes? Only the future of global trade, innovation, and maybe *your* smartphone prices 📉.
