Well I don't think it does, so that's an easy decision for them. They want to be just friendly enough that we keep buying their stuff and educating their youth.
We can’t. We sent some much production there we should worry that China may put sanctions on us.
It’s why we shouldn’t have allowed manufacturing to move there.
they would, but have the entire rest of the world if the west proves too antagonistic to their interests, they are also maneuvering their economy to their own markets. its convenient but not smart to be relying too hard on their opponents in a cold war.
China knows the Republicans are going to gut NATO,
China doesn't care,
China is committed to breaking the West's dominion, which is why it's making Russia into its vassal-state, totally-dependent-on-China, but with accountability/responsibility not having any direct-line into China, in the 1st place..
Once Trump's finished destroying the US, then .. then the real action will begin, militarily.
Give that about 1 dozen, or less, years, to occur.
ContinuousHammerfall's when the NATO-allied countries have been gutted, bankrupted, torn-apart through "populist dictatorship", etc, and suddenly the triple-alliance throws EVERYthing they've got against us, to break our capability...
Between now & then should be 2 more stages:
economic-collapse, which Trump uses to gain & secure dictatorship,
& the butchering of NATO & the West, economically, which should last .. roughly 7 or 8 years, or so.
Once those're done, then the WW3 tantrum/pogrom can begin.
Nobody is going to gut nato. Trumps whole schtick was they need to pay for their own defense. It appears nato is paying attention now after Putin invaded.
He would leave NATO as soon as possible. No normal politician has ever suggested this before because it's completely insane. It's obvious Putin bullshit since it's 100% against the best interests of the US and Europe, and only benefits Russia. It's also a distortion that the EU doesn't fund their part in NATO... a few countries spend less than they should, the rest are perfectly fine on that metric.
Ya know if the fucking British hadnt conquered all of India and most of the world maybe your point qould be sailent. If anything its a lot easier to take down regions with large populations, namely by destroying food supplies and food imports.
I guess the US should have just let Imperial Japan take China since apparently now all you need to do is want to grab territory real bad and that is enough justification.
Maybe China should aid Ukraine. And Palestine and Global South countries being invaded. They could free Tibet, and not attack Taiwan, Philippines, Vietnam etc while they're at it.
