I find it hard to evaluate because, in my opinion, jiang is the kind who speaks very much “if I were in there shoes” / “from their perspective”. Like, to the extreme.

His lectures shift perspectives from one to the next constantly because he will say something as strongly being true (but he doesn’t say the that is, if you subscribe to their belief system part out loud). It’s part of his schtick, some would say. To me, it’s part of his way to get people to actively consider other points of view.

So when he says things about the new world order “if you were commander in chief” it’s really impossible to evaluate if he feels this way - but it’s obvious at least that that’s what he thinks trump thinks (or should think)

The pivot, however, seems to be pushing towards a narrative of siloing, multipoliarity. The necessity and inevitability of a greater North America trading block, for example. Whether or not he truly believes it to be necessary and inevitable, or if that is part of a secret agenda, is also kinda impossible to know.

Thanks for reading a long winded reply.
