I wonder what Studeman's counterpart in the PRC say about which country produces better narratives. Not to be complacent, but I don't see too many countries who have developed a deep love for China due to the Belt and Road Initiative.
Problem with arguments over the ‘narrative’ is they too often boil down to oversimplified propaganda. Everything China bad. Everything America good. Full of blind spots.
America’s political return to isolation (MAGA) combined with the private sector’s aversion to journalism is creating the vacuum. And the simple narratives he discusses, who is rising, are not a joke. Low information thinkers don’t get that much deeper and America’s MAGAfied division isn’t helping anyone create a new, positive narrative about America outside our shores. The only reason all isn’t lost is that outsiders see our problem with the demagogue as a minority personality cult and King MAGA is out of power and losing his hard power, fast.
