    Buy from China. Which may no longer be possible.

    I’m sure the Chinese would be more than happy to sell but the US needs to learn how to cooperate and share instead of constantly trying to control and dominate. The rest of the world is fed up with America plundering their resources and telling it how to run their affairs. Especially as it can barely run its own

      Counterpoint: The Chinese can develop the tech themselves, they obviously have the raw materials. They want to move themselves up the value chain as their labour costs rise, this is the perfect opportunity.

        It’s also an opportunity for the US to dial back the ludicrous propaganda, learn to compromise and cooperate. Imagine what could be achieved if the two countries worked together.

          China and compromise?

          Sorry. You must live in a different reality to me.

            I don’t live in an American propaganda bubble that’s for sure

                Indeed it does, funny you should ask. The Taiwan authorities not only agree with and support the nine-dash line, but they also still claim all of Mongolia as well as parts of Russia, India, Pakistan and Afghanistan. The Beijing government, much to Taiwan’s dismay, has long since signed treaties with all of them except for a small part of India which is still in dispute.

                Of course, you wouldn’t know about that because the AP/Reuters/AFP cabal doesn’t tell you. It doesn’t sit well with the approved narrative. When it comes to global news they are the ones that cherry-pick what they think you should know.

                There’s a link here that introduces and explains the modus operandi of these three news agencies. But you’ll hate it, you won’t read it.
