For those who haven't seen, there is a picture making the rounds in China showing US negotiators and Chinese negotiators both now and over 100 years ago. The point of the picture is the US, at the start of the 20th century, was the upstart country, fresh-faced trying to make a name for itself while the Chinese were the aging and decrepit country fading to obscurity. It's reflected in the people at the meeting.
The latest negotiations between the US and China show a group of largely young faced Chinese negotiating against the aged and decrepit American negotiators, reversing the roles from 100 years ago.
Of course this is only a picture and not truly indicative, but is an interesting visual for what a lot of experts are saying.
