China’s state-run Global Times on Thursday declared the “partisan infighting drama” over the FBI raid on former President Donald Trump’s residence was proof the United States has degenerated into a “banana republic.”
The Chinese propagandists were simply riffing off American verbiage — they dropped fear quotes about “banana republic”, every time they used it, and without mentioning who they were quoting.
Some critics have claimed that the FBI raid reminds them of politicized investigation and abuses from power by a dictatorship in “Third World”, or “banana republic”
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) was among the most prominent voices to use the “banana republic” comparison, and because DeSantis is a constant focus of unfriendly media attention himself, banana-flavored flame wars are raging across social media.
The Global Times professed itself suspicious of the FBI action, which “makes external observers on U.S. affairs easily speculate that the investigation into Trump and the raid of his home are really aimed at influencing the outcome of the midterm elections, discrediting Trump and hindering him from running in the 2024 presidential election.”
Despite this, the Chinese Communists found Trump to be a “crazy comedian” for trying to use the FBI raid against his advantage in fundraising emails.
The Global Times gleefully anticipated more chaos to come:
Analysts believe that the search on Trump’s home will open Pandora’s box – the Democrats will be revenged in the same way after they step down and the US partisan battle is losing its bottom line. This is possible. Xin Qiang said that there will be a greater competition, such as the hunting down of opponents via judicial means.” This will cause further divisions in society and politics, he said. “It is possible that other US presidents will also be subject to lawsuits in the future after stepping down,” Xin stated to the Global Times.
This is not the kind of political ecology that healthy powers are supposed to possess. This is a sign that the US has become a “banana republic.” Trump’s search for his home adds to the acceleration of the US’s political decline and degeneration.
The US is sick. It’s still an important power, with a powerful economy and military, and domineering diplomatic policies, but it faces serious legal, political and economic problems. At all levels, the US is in crisis due to increasing political divisions and partisan struggle.
Politicized prosecutions are the norm in China, with a “justice system” that passingly resembles the legal procedures in civilized nations, but since China is a murderous one-party tyranny, there are no “partisan” disagreements of the sort that made the Global Times predict the end is nigh for America.
The Global Times predicted other nations would increasingly prefer to deal with the orderly tyranny of Beijing than America’s fractious democracy.
” The U.S. has totally destroyed the image it used to project, according to political elites. The Communist paper laughed and said, “How can there be any partisan mutual trust?
