I'm not "obsessed". The conversation was about China being "amused" at the West dumping their stockpiles (which exist to fight Russia anyway) while they're fucking their own economy for no discernible reason.
Then you replied to me with the take that "Chinese don't care about freedom". Mein neger, your argument should be "ackthually they're a command economy so through 12D underwater backgammon they can create wealth even when not doing anything". You'd be wrong, but at least that's an argument that makes sense. As it stands, you just threw a NPC response that seemed like it came from a chat bot that didn't understand the context of my post.
Because the context was China being "amused" at NATO taking outdated shit out of storage that was going to be donated to Africa or some shit in the next 10-15 years.
AHAHAHA
Uhhhhhhhh the USSR and Maoist China are widely known for their famines.
His pork fried rice will be pressed cardboard on the inside, and covered in gutter oil on the outside.
The CCP can't make sure of anything except "line goes up". They don't care if the concrete in high rise buildings has been mostly replaced by papier mache or the rebar can be bent by hand by a 100lb Chinese woman.
You didn't once make any sort of criticism or argument on the domestic policies of the West, nor factor in that the post was a speculation on how the Russian-Ukraine war ends. You just wanted to go hard against China economically and are basically asking me why the Chinese would be amused. You're asking why they would be amused, and I guess I am to blame because I didn't spell out the obvious, just talked about everything around it.
The Chinese are amused because the West has literally given up all their in service weapons to be wasted in Ukraine. This means that the West now more than any other time before presents less of a threat to them or their allies. I think anyone would be amused by their geopolitical opponents kneecapping themselves.
Uhhhhhhhh the USSR and Maoist China are widely known for their famines.
lmao, yeah because Xi Jinping's China is attempting to genocide birds and bumblebees. No the centrally planned nature of an economy doesn't naturally lead to famines, just like how free market capitalism doesn't naturally lead to affordable goods.
Anyways, I'm not sure if you're looking for an honest discussion about geopolitics, are a retarded American who thinks they still live in the best country in the world: Capitalism, Democracy and McDonalds, or you think I'm trying to simp for China or Russia when I am pointing out that they're going to do okay but the West is fucked.
Regardless, it's weird how a conflict between Russia and Ukraine and the effects it has on the world became a discussion on China with you. It seems you have a lot to say about them.
disagree. you vastly overestimate the situation in china.
it's the chinese workers who are currently being locked in their apartments to the point of actual starvation, not the americans.
america could suffer a big economic collapse, and even the poorest americans would still be a lot better off than the poor in china (migrant laborers from rural areas) are right now.
I don't want to be that guy, but I'd like to see some sort of source on that. I have heard the opposite from people I know in China and it might just be their specific living circumstances.
I also never said Americans were going to starve to death, just that they'd be living miserable lives. It was the Europeans that were going to starve to death.
