Fair, however, I dont necessarily think the west has much of a desire to compete heads up with china in those nations. I moreso meant western companies competing or replacing china within the western markets that China has a large footprint in as that more directly pertained to the point that the poster was making in regards to americans not having a reason to dislike china.

I think western nations and companies would more or less be happy with their slice of the pie and china having their own pie in bric nations. Furthermore, between russian meddling in various western affairs and the developing geopolitical environment, I'm sure western governments would prefer to wean themselves off the codependent nature of the economies with china and russia and are searching for ways to do so. Just as China doesnt like doing business with america due to the revolving door of executive administrations, american companies dont like dealing with supply chain issues and subpar goods from china and european nations dont like dealing with russia for power sources other than out of necessity
When it comes to Western countries competing with Chinese companies in Western markets, the only thing saving Western corps is political protectionism. Otherwise, its a wrap. Look at Amazon. It use to be a retailer where consumers could buy Western goods for the chepest price. Now, the top search spots on Amazon are clogged with Chinese off-branded goods. Western corps have been chomping at the bit to sell to Chinese consumers. So they definitely are looking to compete in Eastern markets. Us companies no longer label themselves US companies, they all claim to be "Global companies" now. Wait a few years and watch what happens to Tesla. Tesla will probably sell more cars in China than in the US by years end. While Tesla fanbois praise this, not a single cent of Tesla-Shanghai's profits will ever leave the country (Repatriation). I predict Tesla will either invert, or Tesla-Shanghai splits off to become a separate entity in 5 years.

If you posted on here about Covid's origins possibly being a Lab Leak in 2020 you'd have a million mofukkas immediately come for you and call you every name in the book. They would call you a crazy Trump supporting misinformation/disinformation spreading conspiracy theorist. :laff:

fukking Liars on here now tryna change the narrative in real time on some "We knew that already" and "The Lab Leak theory was never out of the question". This shyt is unbelievable man:dead:

The headline is extremely misleading and the author is one of the "Iraq is trying to nuke us!" guys from 2002. :unimpressed:

You should be able to see where this is going. :francis:

Average americans who want to start their own business or have their own small business arent looking to those markets. They want american consumers from foot traffic and domestic shipping. Theres a lot of disdain amongst those people between minimum wages increasing and cost of distribution that gets directed towards american policy as being too chinese friendly. That in turn leads to negative sentiment towards china. (To the original point of americans bot having a reason to dislike them)

Even before china it was "made in taiwan" or "made in vietnam" for textiles etc. A pivot away from the east would be welcomed by many americans and presumably many europeans as well

this only strengthens the case for trump’s return to the white house.

remember when everyone called him a sinophobe for terming it the “wuhan virus”?

the democrats are just handing the fascists unobstructed lanes to the basket.

:francis:
A what 🤣



You mean xenophobe?


You can't even concern troll correctly 🤣

so you worked for some white people in China, what a shame.

It doesn’t change the fact I’ve made millions in real life with Chinese people and they never got over on me.

Maybe I met the good ones, maybe you’re just easy to get over on.

Most of Africa is allying with China, you can stay under the white man’s foot if that’s where you’re comfortable.
You mean the same China making these countries beholden via high interest debt, forcing kids to learn Mandarin instead of their native tongue, and destabilizing their economies? That China?
