      1. Trump is a disaster for America, but he's also an opportunity for other nations. Particularly China.

      2. Trump's "America First" foreign policy, if he can carry it out, will mean America abdicating from its role as global hegemon.

      3. Since 1945 -- and arguably earlier-- America has been the bulwark of the international system, the guaranteer of global trade system.

      4. Trump's mercantilist view of the world really has no room for the USA maintaining international order. That creates a vacuum. Enter China

      5. For a variety of reasons, China is in a good position to take over -- world's 2nd largest economy, big trader, ties all over world.

          Compare size and dynamism of China's economy to Russia's.

          I think it won't take over. Instead, regional powers will take over.

          6. A Chinese hegemon would be "liberal" only in narrowest sense (free trade). Not committed to human rights, democracy, etc.

          It's okay, the US isn't committed to human rights, either. See Iraq War, inaction in Syria, support for the Israeli occupation...

          @VictorZapat1 With the Trump foreign policy, China can get a new ally just south of the US.

          @ektrit China lacks the military projection capabilities to takeover as global enforcer.
