In an interview, retired PLA colonel Zhou Bo discussed how Donald Trump's actions are undermining the United States' reputation globally, more so than any previous president. He noted that Taiwan may perceive a decline in U.S. confidence and might reassess its relationship with America as it considers buying more defense weapons. Zhou emphasized the impact Trump's policies might have on Taiwan's mindset towards its status and relationship with China, predicting a worsened American global image by the end of his term.
Retired senior colonel Zhou Bo stated, "Trump is damaging the US's reputation more than all of his predecessors combined," impacting America's global image and its standing worldwide.
Zhou commented on Taiwan's perception, "The people of Taiwan know that America is going down, which might affect their mentality with regards to China," suggesting a shift in Taiwan's viewpoint.
Discussing Taiwan's defense spending, Zhou remarked, "Maybe the Taiwanese will one day consider, 'Well, we cannot move away anyway. We will have to stay here.'" This illustrates growing concerns over US allegiance.
In his view, "By the end of Trump's second term, America's global image will become more tarnished," emphasizing concerns over the long-term implications for international relations.
