A long video essay by Kraut arguing that Trump's biggest failure was his handling of China. It spends much of its length on Chinese history, culture, the trade war, and the rise of a communist superpower.
Commenters point to it as a well-researched explainer of the history and culture behind China's current position, despite the political title.

Please take a look at this analysis if you can. It was miraculously done before COVID yet it explains those exact mechanics you exemplified. ▶ this video
China is hilariously bad at HN and Reddit PR, which they never cared about to begin with. They are tremendously effective at international PR. By providing economic support to smaller EU nations, they've been able to veto efforts to limit their influence. ▶ this video
Kraut has a fantastic video on the topic - ▶ this video While its title relates to Trump, the video is much moreso about Chinese history and culture and what brought them to the position they're in today.
TDS Sufferer: "Trump is a dictator!" [1] Trump lets the States exercise their Constitutional authority [2] TDS Sufferer: "Trump is a disappointingly-WEAK dictator!"[3] It really is bizarre. As you say, there are things he's legitimately punting into the stands, such as his ham-fisted counter to the rise of China (great concept, abysmal execution).[4] [1] link [2] link [3] link [4] ▶ this video
