I believe that this will result in the end of global US dominance in favor of China.

While the US is floundering its foreign policy goals and souring its former allies' relationships, China is making inroads all over the world.

I do believe that this is a good thing.

As for the US, this downfall was pretty much set in stone the moment Citizens United vs FEC (the decision that allows the wealthy to purchase elections) went down. The fear and greed of the oligarchs were inevitably going to paralyze US systems and they would shoot themselves in the foot. What we're seeing now is the end product of that.

We're all just incredibly fortunate that they chose a bunch of incompetent morons as advisors, cabinet and staff. They could have very easily picked a Henry Kissinger type to advise foreign policy.

I believe this change will be a good thing because the US foreign policy has been downright diabolical throughout its existence.

You believe, you don't know. You also don't have a firm timeframe in mind. Your initial claim was that these actions will "improve" other countries. When? How? Will China dislodging (if) the USA from leading global hegemony stop the USA from having bad foreign policy? Is China's foreign policy somehow less imperial than the USA's? Is China devoid of oligarchs with influence over domestic and foreign policy?

Henry Kissinger WAS an incompetent moron that advised (poorly) on foreign policy >_>.
