Biden went to Peru recently and got schooled by Xi Jinping. He should have already learned the lesson since his border tsar was faced with protests of "trade not aid" when she went on her tongue wagging tour down south. He knew the problem. They gave him the answer. He ignored it.
Xi has been listening. China is opening a major seaport in Peru. Is that "aid?" Yes. But in this case it is "aid" in support of trade. After all, that is what a seaport is for, isn't it?
You have to cut Biden some slack. Dead Aid is more than a book. It's an industry. One that is well entrenched in western countries, none more so that the U.S. It is a powerful industrial-governmental-nonprofit combine with many beneficiaries that sadly includes no one who is the alleged target of this aid. This system is dangerous and it will not be fixed from within. China will take care of it because they understand the real trade war.
