Oh, yeah, the US is respected now...

CNN’s Erin Burnett was visibly stunned by the sheer level of unrestrained mockery China is hurling at Donald Trump during his high-stakes visit.
"While Trump begins meeting with Chinese leader Xi Jinping, Chinese social media has exploded with viral posts openly ridiculing the U.S. president, and Beijing’s strict censors are happily letting it spread.
Some of the posts going viral across China include:
-- “America has lost its swagger. They’re nothing but a paper tiger.”
-- “Trump came to China! We won the tariff war!”
-- “They will look up to us from now on.”
-- “Trump, you’re welcome to visit China and learn from us.”
-- “The U.S. is no longer a country that we look up to. We can now compete with them with confidence and strength.”
Burnett pointed out that this kind of open political mockery – especially during a visit by a foreign head of state – is extremely rare in China unless the government explicitly wants it to happen.
The message from Beijing is crystal clear: they believe they have the upper hand and are enjoying Trump’s humiliation.This is the embarrassing reality of Trump’s failed tough-guy act.
After years of bluster and tariffs, Trump is now flying to China as a weakened leader, getting openly laughed at by the Chinese public with their government’s approval.
The “strongest president ever” is being treated like a joke on the world stage by America’s biggest rival.
This is what happens when an incompetent, blustering president thinks he can bully the world. The rest of the planet is watching, and laughing."
