    It’s smart, I don’t know how people will feel about it but it’s smart.

    The US and China are in an escalating economic cold war. It’s goes completely against US interests to invest finite resources into growing the economy of an economic rival — and ditto for the converse of China investing into growing the US economy. Especially in an aggressively competitive economic sector where relative technological advancement is king for competitive purposes.

      This is 40 years too late. That ship has sailed. China is a technologically advanced nation now. It can not be condemed to poverty by Americans.

              My point is that America is a violent and destructive force, and a threat to human civilization.

                And China isn’t? I must have missed the part where America used tanks to turn a bunch of students into a bloody pulp.

                  Do Iraqi students not count? Or do you not consider non-white people as human?

                  What about the victims of US drone stikes?

        No, it can only be condemned to poverty by its own leaders unimaginable corruption.

        America can thank God for that.

          Last I checked the Chinese economy was doing great. They lifted hundreds of millions of people out of poverty.

        Even if thats true, I really doubt they have the capacity to weild it properly. Especially with the whole fucked economy thing.

        Thank God for Xi, Deng was smart enough to get China it’s massive leap into the modern age, and Xi is stupid enough to destroy all they’ve made.

    A great move 30 years after neoliberalism forced globalization down our throats and brought the planet to the brink of collapse in the name of exploiting the global south.

      Where I an looking from, America is a far bigger threat to humanity. China did not invade Iraq or bomb Middle Eastern countries with drones.

    The military needs to develop its own encrypted os to use on bases and beef up their security. We are vulnerable because we use the dumbest most common OS out there. They should have their own hardware built by their own people. The US military should have its own in house manufacturing and development.
