Scarborough: China ‘Acting Like They’re Living in an Alternate Reality...50 Years in the Past’

EXCERPT:

SCARBOROUGH: "So, David, let’s talk briefly about what this says about the Chinese government that just celebrated their 70th anniversary, been projecting power across the globe with Belt and Road initiative, trying to literally win over the hearts and minds of hundreds of millions of people across every continent, trying to show that their system was preferable to America’s system. Understanding that we would be coming together on the globe for supremacy over the next 50 years, mainly economic supremacy. What does it say about this government, that six months later, they are still acting more like Brezhnev's Soviet Union in the early 1980s than a country that many people expected to take the lead in — in the economy, take the lead in diplomatic leadership across the globe in the coming decades? We’ve always talked about how China was looking 50 years ahead. Now, we look at them, and they’re acting like they’re living in an alternate reality from 50 years in the past."
