In this episode of China Trends, Victor Gao, vice president of the Center for China and Globalization, analyzes America's declining soft power and its campaign to vilify China through false narratives. He exposes Washington's "Tonya Harding syndrome", an attempt to contain China's rise through tech wars like semiconductor bans, may backfire by accelerating China's self-reliance. The conversation takes an emotional turn as Gao lashes out Western indifference to Palestinian suffering, framing it as a moral litmus test. Ultimately, he calls for China to confidently assert its truth, a civilization committed to peace, poverty alleviation and mutual respect in a shifting world order.
