China will just push and push and push and push and we'll just watch. We dont want war and we need trade, so we'll just let it happen, with a little bit of flag waving, and not enough support to stop it.

We have an amazing ability to have wars and trade at the same time. Things would be expensive, but that just means more money for the people who manage to link the goods exchange.

At least you have your answer as to why we are spending money on chips!

(shame we spent 100's of billions over the last 20 years retrofitting Chinese industry and teaching china how to make them better)
I doubt we maintain trade and I bet we declare war to some degree

But who knows, probably just the same thing we did to Russia. Sanctions and a promise we’ll never trade with them again. We really don’t have any military options with China that doesn’t involve a total war scenario.

China won’t back down though. These guys can’t give their people economic progress so they preach nationalism to the extent that it becomes tail wags the dog

This is why I think it was reckless.

China does not erase lines it changes. Basically next year, they will drive tanks right up onto the tourist beaches of Taiwan, and be like, "WHAT!?! we always do this for training, dont you remember last year?! Now get the fuck out of our way DOGS"

And we'll do some tweets, and nothing will change, except the noose around the neck of the citizens of Taiwan is gently tightened.

Chinese control of the island is a matter of time, china is very wise, and the CCP is very smart and they know what they are doing.

I dont like the CCP but I respect their intelligence.

Those numbers specificacally show off china's might - they can lose 20-40 million people and be better off.

Before you think they wouldn't let that happen: https://www.hawaii.edu/powerkills/NOTE2.HTM

I think the stability of the russian dollar, energy trade and oil, is giving china the data it needs to figure out how to take taiwan.

Itd be a real shame if 50 years ago the KGB figured out that by disrupting our social lives it could drive a wedge between us and cause the collapse of the western power structure.

The only problem was they didn't have access to our social lives from across the pond... until we invented the internet.

Our GDP will be 0 while we're restructuring the power dynamic and goverment inside the USA with force because we have to stop the insurections.

"To fight and conquer in all our battles is not supreme excellence; supreme excellence consists in breaking the enemy's resistance without fighting."

'The supreme art of war is to subdue the enemy without fighting.'

Tiktok in china: patriotism, war, hard work, propaganda!

tiktok in amercia: Chinese company moves "stick your dick in the electric socket challange to the front page"

tiktok in taiwan: you are a cur, a dog, a weak fisherman.

If we're reliant on them, they're reliant on us.
