China, with its five thousand years of civilization, is driven by a ruthless, authoritarian tyrant—Xi Jinping;
America, with its two hundred and fifty years of democracy, is commanded by a lawless, vindictive clown—Donald Trump.

Is this the destiny of humankind, or the darkness of human nature?
Is this the cycle of civilization, or the mockery of history?
Is this the collapse of institutions, or the inevitability of greed?

When ancient wisdom can no longer resist tyranny, when the banner of freedom can no longer conceal absurdity,
we must ask:
Does the future belong to all people, or is it doomed to be stolen by a handful of villains?
