China and US

Canada being a neighbor of the US has finally decided to join the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB), following the footprints of the UK, Australia and European countries among many others, leaving the US and Japan high and dry on the political and economic fronts. 

While the US has a history of creating chaos, mistrust, splits, ruins and destructions everywhere, China has the wisdom to focus on building and constructions, setting aside differences and grievances for future generations to resolve.

Through the investments in the One Belt One Road (OBOR) initiative, countries involved will benefit from growth and prosperity, as well as cultural exchange that lays the foundation of regional peace.  The OBOR will go down in history as an edifying example to pursue human cooperation, mutual trust, harmony and prosperity, as well as a pragmatic way to address if not settle complex issues and differences.

The days of the US hegemony are numbered.  With the decline of the USD and the gradual rise of RMB, one day the US will face the final call on its national debt and the implosion of its economy.  Of course, this will have a tsunami impact on the world economy too.

To prevent all these from happening, the only way is to call for more trust and cooperation between the US and China.  After all, it's in everyone's interest to live in a peaceful and prosperous world.  Pragmatism, not idealism or fundamentalism, is the way to go to save the world.
