China is responsible for over 50% of all trade flow with MENA. Did you take any mathematics classes? Because that means everybody else combined is lower let alone the West. China actually has money, not IOU bills which is why their “money” is more attractive. You lost that trade dependence game as soon as they had any other option. Pakistan is embroiled in a territorial dispute with China? You mean the Pakistan that has no territorial dispute with Pakistan and runs their biggest trade route through their only connection to China?
The US is the one crying about being overrun by immigrants from the South Americas while neglecting to mention that most of the land belonged to Mexico and as soon as their population rebounded and their now smaller nation became overcrowded they started traveling to the land that was theirs before the US stole it. You think places in California and Texas are called El Paso or Sacramento because they suddenly like the brown people? How’s that fentanyl crisis going for you, a hundred thousand overdoses a year is more than the rest of the world combined, it clearly has a nice kick to it. Still planning to invade Mexico to fight drug cartels? Good luck with that, that war on drugs is surely going to be won any day now.
