Exactly they got nothing. when people start talking about how china will surpass us all i have to do is ask 1 question, "tell me the name of 1 chinese company?". they literally have nothing but mass labour and pollution.

3 of the worlds 5 largest companies are Chinese

So who in here actually knows what they're talking about? And isn't just acting like they know what they're talking just from random books they've read and YouTube?

Some background. China is trying to call itself some kind of regional super power and has been trying to intimidate us out of the region. Obama has been giving them the :rudy::demonic: the whole time.

China tried building artificial islands to cut off US Naval patrol routes and claiming international borders around them. The US Navy sails through with ZERO fukkS given :salute:Basically daring them to shoot

We stationed troops in Australia too just to rub it in. They probably fished a stalled sub drone out of the ocean. We have drones crash all the time :yeshrug:

A few facts:

1 - Most of America's debt is owned by the American people
2 - Japan overtook China as the top foreign holder of American debt
3 - China can't relinquish that debt without destroying its own economy (and the world's too). Doing that would cause massive civil unrest in China.

:francis:

Finally some actual facts. Christ.

Including the largest banks by assets (Bank of China, etc.)

If you lived in the developing world (Africa, Middle East, Latin America) you'd know as many Chinese brands as American ones. Only the top like Haier (Wal-Mart mini-fridges), Alibaba, and Huwaei get over here.

Remember when that US reconnaissance plane collided with a Chinese jet and emergency landed on the island of Hainan where the Chinese seized the crew and raped the plane? George W didn't do anything about that either---we fukking paid them the lodging costs for the prisoners and the cost to FedEx the plane back. They know the Chinese leadership don't give a fukk and can take pain for a lot longer than we can---and control the internal media.

Adding to this:

Obama created the TPP to cut China out of Asia-Pacific markets. Because of the inability of American citizens to recognize the imperial power games going on, they elected an anti TPP candidate. :mjlol:

Also, the Philippines is rankling under American control and if the Philippines isn't part of America's chain of islands surrounding China (look at a map of East Asia) then China could have greater access to the Central Pacific :francis:

Y'all better pray that Trump knows how to play "the game" :troll:

Sad but true :francis:

The funny thing is that most Americans support America's global hegemony. It's just that they also tire of war and the eventual humiliations which come with Empire. For every Opium War, Britain had a Siege of Khartoum/the Afghan defeat of the 1840s or the Fall of Sinagpore.

Anyway, Americans don't protest the imperialist agenda because they want to preserve what's left of their democracy. They do this because they fear that their culture/livelihoods are at risk from foreigners. Which isn't true, but when one of your major political parties prizes itself on ignorance and xenophobia

Didn't Iran take a ship a few months ago? :yeshrug: Economies are too intertwined for war to happen right now, but it looks we are heading that way :mjgrin:

The American populace hasn't agreed with a war since World War II :what:
