Shadi Hamid: We can't have a double standard where America can make troubling mistakes. But we then support unholy military spending so it can keep other powers at bay who show no evidence of military threat to others with the sole counter example of Taiwan, he says. "I'm very outspoken in my criticisms of pro-American dictators in the Middle East," writes Hamid.
In part two of our debate 'Is America a force for good in the world?', foreign policy experts Shadi Hamid and Samuel Moyn discuss the return of Donald Trump, American exceptionalism, and what the world would look like if China became the world's only superpower. Our host for this debate is journalist and academic, Philippa Thomas.
