well well well, if it isn’t the consequences of the profit motive

Nope long term thinking is no longer allowed in this capitalistic hellscape

China already collapsed. The reason why they collapsed is because they secretly entrapped the earth in a holographic dome which simulates China as a country. Whenever Biden talks to Xi it’s just an AI. The whole country already collapsed and every Chinese person is dead

It’s amazing just how shameless these people are. On the other hand, I’ve come to realize this is a good thing in the grand scheme of things. The west has convinced itself that China is weak, and that stands in the way of any real mobilization to counter what China is doing on the part of the west.

The way China has been developing (in broad strokes: state supported import substitution and resource nationalism) is exactly the way western imperialist powers developed. Yes I’m ignoring the class characteristics of this development, these are crucial as well, but just in terms of development policy China is doing something very similar to what Britain and the US did in order to develop their productive forces.

Instead of cooperating with China in the BRI, the US decided to make a western backed competitor. The initiative is primarily privatized with little state control, and so far they managed to come up with a few million (or low billions) in funding. And it’s likely abandoned because it was never talked about again after it was announced (which never even made headlines because no one cares about it).

Either they don’t give a shit, or it’s just another opportunity for the ghouls in Langley to base their hostile operations. Either way, the west continues to show that they don’t care about anyone or anything that isn’t white. It doesn’t matter if China is cynical or cunning or whatever. What matters is that they’re backing up their rhetoric and pushing their propaganda without some Chinese intelligence officer or soldier massacring a bunch of Africans to prove some stupid point.

Reminds me of when Israel used to call the UN “Legal terrorism” or some other variant thereof.

China is enacting in the form of economic violence against the economies of other countries

The evil seeseepee are killing western econimals

and the West can’t take it so they have to invent a new kind of “violence”

One industry China will never be able to take away from the west. They’re masters at it.

Politics makes a lot of sense when you stop assuming the average person has any clue what’s going on.

There is a very large number of people who could not tell you, without using their phones, which party controls each chamber of Congress.

Even Chinese businesses can just throw out some Marxist Economics principles and the West reels.

Remember ten years ago when massive German subsidies were the driving force behind the dropping price of solar panels globally, and western media made a fuss about it? Yeah, me neither.

It’s bad because they’ll have to start implementing their milquetoast climate change policies instead of just performatively talk about it in speeches. If China produces the required equipment then the west have run out of excuses for why they can’t even implement basic shit

Their innovation: bifacial solar panels

Our innovation: answer machine that gets everything wrong

lol they really just went from China will collapse to China is making us collapse

It has ever been thus. Remember when the UK forcibly deindustrialised India, causing a Dark Age in textile quality we still haven’t recovered from? (Try getting decent regency-era Chintz or Muslin, can’t be done.)
