very early this morning for us, not so for them. jonathan lemire, this has been coming for some time i must say, just i ve been saying on this show since 2007, i think the supremacy of china has been overvalued by americans. i think china is, obviously, the rising power, and we are going to share the world stage with them for the next 30, 40, 50 years. they certainly aren t going to dominate us. but i also think this talk of, this talk of just absolute collapse in the relationship has also been overstated both sides have been jostling for position biden has been far more aggressive he s finally done something that every president said they were going to do this century, and he s actually done the pivot toward asia, strengthening america s positions in guam. strengthening our positions with our allies in the philippines, in zwrjapan and australia, i me,
