The first rule of the other half of the special peoples club is don't not talk about China.

China is practicing the invasion. We are almost obligated to defend taiwan. Our military is spread out. China can bring all of its miltary down.
We have a much more advanced military, some would call it the GBASP of militaries. It folds and has a backlit screen
China has a billion and a half of people, and wouldnt mind loosing some. Thrown away like so many PSP's
I dont know why people think im trolling. Maybe your minds are the closed ones.

I don't think anyone in this thread disagrees that the Chinese government is shady and awful.
But China has been doing this shit with Taiwan for ages now, literally, and they're not going to invade anytime soon in the middle of a pandemic. They're poking them, and sending them a little reminder. I don't know wtf you're on about the US invading China. That is some real world war three shit and not something to throw around the prospect of willy nilly. Do we have a superior military? Yes. Can they still crash our power grid and gas pipelines and skull fuck us majorly without having to step foot on US soil? Yes. Have we already spent 20 years in an endless unwinnable war? Fucking kill me, yes we have.
Anyway, I can't sleep. It's officially day 14 of my grandma's confirmed covid case. Her 8th day of no symptoms. What a beast. I'm not quite sure when they're going to retest her, I hope soon.

There is alot of instability in china. They are dependant on us. We have been forming trade agreements with them for year that they accept and are unable to comply with. We keep the trade routs safe. China has border conflicts on all ends and millions of unhappy minorities.
The situation is very serious and things are moving even faster, because the virus and the lie about the virus ruined their reputation.I Thenone thing they wanted.
China has spent most of its history at war with itself. It cant feed itself, it isnt independant because of shale oil like we are, it cant project its military. We could stop their oil and ruin them.
When trump took office, Shijinping begged him to slow our economic decoupling, and we did for their sake. Things are differant now, and china is in a corner.

You're fucking fully bat shit bonkers if you think a full fledged war with China is in any way a sound, strategic play, holy shit.

hes definitely that, but dont think china doesnt have this shit all figured out
we will probably be more reliant on them, than ever, after this crisis
we just got to import that good good
now were fully committed....
but yeah we gotta press them on that 'lab escape'
even though trump picked it off the menu

I don't doubt that China knows how to play the long game.

Until we stop liking super mass produced, cheap labor that requires heavy and uniform infrastructure that India cannot provide, I was under the impression that we were.

Watch some peter zeihan. He explains very well. They dont have demographics, economy, geographic placement, internal and external stability.
I saw that. There is nothing we can do for them. China will take them. They are suring up their terrotory. Taiwan is the thing to watch. Will that be what takes us to war?
We are watching the death of what we know as china
Im not trolling at all. This is very serious. It could happen this year or in a couple. Tension buld,then one dwy you wake up and peolle are dieing by the thousands.

Eh, idk. I think it's dangerous to take one person's word as gospel, especially when it comes to predictions and futurism. He's a good speaker. I disagree with a lot of his conclusions. Like we're watching the death of China. Puhleeze, not to glorify an Authoritarian nightmare, but China has been through shit we can't even imagine as a country, they're the longest running contiguous country in history.
The regime of the CCP most definitely will collapse one day. And it'll probably be sudden and fairly violent, that's the way that it is with autocratic regimes. But the death of China? The lack of need for global trade for the future of the US? Seems like it's a lot of hedge your bets on.

China wasnt 'china' untill last century. China has been disunited warring factions for most of its history. The last emporor was manchurian, and they arent han chinese.
