Being the world's top 2 economies while still being each other's top trading partners is going to create huge nightmares of competition vs cooperation. Diplomats must keep up a difficult juggling act - miss a juggle move and WAR results. The Olympics was designed to bring counties together, so that alone has both upside and downside. The best strategy for the US would be to keep itself strong and NOT allow itself to fall apart internally! If we can't cooperate to fight a VIRUS, how can we successfully fight a HUGE Dictatorship?

Now why would big business support that? There ones making billions and don’t even have produce it. We allowed it , condoned it and encouraged it. Well, we the peon’s didn’t, it took our jobs, made the middle class , lower class and the poor out in the street to become beggars. Don’t blame Walmart, target, or any other big business they only play by someone’s else’s rules. The blame IMO is our own federal government legislators who allowed it, condoned it, AND got paid from it.
