hey usa, china is building tons of high-speed rail. they’re the leaders in decarbonizing their energy mix. they’re building tons of housing to handle population growth. they’re financing infrastructure projects in the global south. why not try beating them at all that?
no? just wars again? okay.
Chinese people own their homes too
Even with more property rights. If you own a house and you don’t want to sell it when they want to build a new highway, they build the highway surrounding your house, instead of expropriating you like in western countries.
I think Americans should ban debate clubs. Clearly they’re only teaching how to create mental convolutions instead of creating sound arguments.
Americans should consider doing mathematical convolution instead. Very important for functional analysis with deep connections to the Laplace, and thus Fourier, transforms.
I thing losing $400b will greatly help to put china in its place
It is absolutely maddening to see American pundits defend every dumbshit, ruinous, genocidal policy over the last twenty years by pointing at China and claiming, “We had to show them we were the boss”.
From AI to A-bombs, there’s nothing you can’t get away with by insisting “China Bad! This will stop them!”
We are operating from a position of strength!
They can’t admit the only reason has been “Money!”
I’d put money on China being able to pwn the USA with the click of a button. We know about salt typhoon, and there’s been documented backdoors in IoT devices and some Unitree bots. Imagine all the things we don’t know about. Especially regarding power generation and general aging infrastructure.
An open conflict between the US and china would probably end with exactly zero winners and an uninhabitable glowing piece of rock orbiting the sun. Maybe the cockroaches can then find a better path to communism.
probably depends on whose soil it’s on and whether or not it’s a proxy war and/or world war.
Buddy, I could tell you that based on the fact that they’ve lost every single war they’ve been in since WWII.
Literally the equivalent of a homeless libertarian laughing at well to do, middle class Chinese people because he thinks he’s better off
demonstrating that the US is willing
Yes, because America is famous for the ambiguity around whether or not we’d go to war with global South nations
and able
No
In that sense, it was already won
The government can behave like a rabid dog, but China would Old Yeller America
China and Iran are allies.
If the US and China go to war Iran will close the strait to their enemies. And we’ve seen the US is impotent to that and overly reliant on oil.
I think China just has to deal with a first strike from the US and then wait for an impotent United States to fall apart and starve.
Remember folks, the guy is a master of the deal
So you’re saying distracting Americans from the Epstein files had nothing to do with it? LOLOL
Americans famously can’t hold more than one idea at time, if Trump shit his pants tomorrow the entire investigation of Epstein is gone.
Please president, hold your shit!!!

This but unironically.
liberals are perpetually born-yesterday.
Show china youre the boss by taking hong kong back and making it independent
And protecting them and taiwan
Drop the cheese is not doing you well.
How exactly will they do that? Theyd need boots on the ground to “take back” Hong Kong 😂
Rhodesia is that way → …oops, too soon?
Hong Kong, the city that Britain commandeered from the Chinese?
Yeah, sometimes I feel like we should just get it over with and start global thermonuclear war for no reason too. Just end it all, you know?
We had a good run, it’s time for the mole people to have a chance.
This plan is around 100 years out of date
