Sorry, no opera yet. But one can certainly be composed, in a similar vein to John Adams’s Nixon in China.
It would probably take the newest AI no more than an hour to create the score and the libretto.
Of course, I was reminded ofNixon’s ‘historic’ visit to China by our current ‘acting’ president’s recent visit there. And I noticed a certain…supranational continuity.

Trump is a vociferous proponent of the thesis that China is to blame for America’s economic decline.
Which he is going to reverse by making everything worse for Americans (his major domestic accomplishment so far in this term). But, in his own words, he ‘is not thinking about Americans’ finances.’ He boldly (unthinkingly?) declared this in relation to the war in Iran and the rising gas prices that resulted from it. There is no doubt that his economic policies (or announcements of such policies and retractions of the announcements) have greatly benefited one American – himself.As for the rest of us, we’re eating tariffs and guzzling expensive gas. But this is about more than Trump’s mishandling of the economy (among other things).
We are told that the U.S. and China are rivals.
What is more, along with the other villainous actor on the geopolitical chess-board, Russia, China is attempting to create a multi-polar world to replace the current uni-polar model dominated by the United States.
China was also ideologically opposed to the U.S. during the Cold War. So, the ‘genius’ of ‘American’ foreign policy, war criminal Henry Kissinger, opened up a strategic (not to mention treasonously covert) dialogue with China a year prior to Nixon’s 1972 visit. The unlikely rapprochement was presented to the American public as a masterful coup by the renowned ‘diplomat’ that exploited a temporary rift in USSR-Chinese relations. In reality, Kissinger’s visit was the precursor to the Great Deindustrialization of America and the transformation of China into the world’s largest sweatshop. So, to recap: Kissinger moved America’s manufacturing sector to China creating systemic unemployment at home, a slave labor force in China and big profits for ‘American’ corporations.’ The winning side in this deal? The multinational ‘persons’ (because a corporation is a person under the law) and their soulless proprietors.
