HertzDentalBarGoing to be fucking hilarious when all the western companies get fucked by China taking over the market they don’t seem to care about.
Don’t count on China. They are going to invade Taiwan next year and the global trade embargo will be a rounding error to the destruction of the tmsc factories during that war. Or they will capture the fabs and prohibit export to the US. Loose loose for us.
“China, a country that hasn’t invaded another country in 50 years, is going to invade this country” said the country that invades a country once a decade.
China a country that has been trying to unify Taiwan since the civil war they could quite finish.
When you live in the imperial core of one of the most militaristic nations in the history of the world, everything seems like a provocation.
America has engaged in war the majority of the post world war 2 era. Korea, Vietnam, Afghanistan twice, Iraq twice. And that’s not including all the proxy wars they’ve funded.
Yes every instance was totally bad. The U.S. should’ve done nothing to counter USSR and their dominoes across the world. US should’ve just let every country fall into an authoritarian USSR influenced country.
Obviously, I don’t blindly think every war was good, such as Bush era Iraq. However, defending Kuwait was 100% defensible in Gulf War.
The point I’m trying to make is America likes war a lot. China hasn’t fought a war in 50 years. It’s hard to take Americans seriously when they accuse someone of being aggressive.
The US has solo hegemony and super power status that has been challenged but never overtaken. US/NATO (for what’s left of it) is the strongest alliance on the planet. My point is other countries are generally hesitant to start conflict due to US policing and involvementpolicing.
And the conflicts that do happen, happen at the behest the US and in the interest of US corporations. And the US has control over the narrative surrounding the conflict.
China spends so much on its military and miltech. Why is that again?
China spent 250 billion US dollars on defense last year. Clearly that’s for nothing.
The way the US centric world works, you kinda have to, or you risk inviting the US trying to spread “freedom”
Oh I thought it was to project power and pursue territory disputes. Building islands in neighboring nations waters and stuff. Flying jets over the Philippines and such.
Don’t forget Africa!
