Another question: what about the American birthrates? Was that even a question that was brought up by the administration at any point in time or has everyone kinda forgot that demographics are literally the future?

Yes he has an executive order on it. “He’s going to be the fertility president.” His words not mine.

Imagine being this young and not being excited about buying the dip.

I don’t give a single shit how much gay baby withdraw China does or what bond point levels are because of mass selloff. It’s four years, they can’t last a single year in a full blown trade war. If the economy is legit shuttered after Trump, then enjoy your new faggot troon blue president who will make temporary remedy fixes using globalism again to appease slave owners and big corpo adventurism. Either way, it will go back up.

Full. Steam. Ahead.

Something something, "Well, we're late."

I would agree with you except that I think the reality is neither has the power to actually defeat the other. The USA can sink anything China uses to transport its troops to American soil and whilst the USA could probably land forces in China they'd never successfully subdue China. The USA would probably try some sort of decapitation strike on Chinese leadership which would result in things going nuclear.

They have no reason not to use their 500 nukes on us if we so much as touch that thing. It would be realizing mutually-assured destruction.

What if it was destroyed by Chinese separatist completely unrelated to the trade war? How about if it's hit by a stealth attack with no proof we are involved? It sounds like this damn is a ticking time bomb if there going to nuke America whenever it eventually collapses like every other Chinesium product anyway.

I suppose ending the world rather than manage the humanitarian crisis it's collapse would create is a solution. Also I agree China is so weak their basic infrastructure can only be defended with threats of ending the earth "ancient Chinese secret" lmfao

Fed the country to the wolves and now they are angry that the new generations are fighting for the scraps that are left.

Considering Chinese concrete standards, it could happen spontaneously

I actually think America is too soft to hit the dams but I could see Taiwan, India, Japan, or Vietnam not giving a shit about killing millions of Chinese. Especially Taiwan.

Holy shit, they went full retard.

It’s almost like it’s retarded to anger your biggest customer. If the CCP werent retarded they would’ve used industry to build up the largest middle class in the world and suddenly they’d be the largest consumer market. And then they wouldn’t need to export at all because their manufacturing could feed their own levels of consumerism. But if they did that then they might not be commies anymore and hence they had to keep the boot on their people’s neck.

Tbh if the Chinese weren’t commies they’d have surpassed the US economically decades ago. Imagine Taiwan or South Korea but multiply that by every major city center they have.

They literally have no other choice at this point. Counter-tariff us and use their moles in the US media and government and academia to try and derail Trump somehow. What else can they do? The EU, Russia, India... none of those markets are big enough to save them.

Edit: I fully expect an active color revolution to strike the US by Summer. They're probably already planting the seeds for that.

This is going to be a hot take but Chinese foreign nationals should start being rounded up and sent home. China unleashed a plague on the US once and will do it again without a second thought.

Probably should seize all CCP Chinese held land near military bases while we are at it.

They are the enemy of the world. We need to start acting like it.

Editing for: Oh yeah they produce the fentanyl and compounds to make it that have killed hundreds of thousands and made zombies of countless more.

I hope you believe in Cold Wars because yer in one.

All the "build more housing" libs on the west coast would suddenly find their rent cut by 20% and call it a miracle

I reiterate, that was hu jintao’s direction and xi reversed it. 2008 China was rising, was encouraging foreigners to move into Shenzen

Xi got into power and they became a bellicose, remilitarized state. Foreigners were persecuted until Shenzen became empty, funds were redirected to ship building and the emerging middle class tried to flee, so banking rules were instituted to prevent them from expropriating their wealth. One of the main drivers of crypto is Chinese capital flight

What else can they do? The EU, Russia, India... none of those markets are big enough to save them.

Ensuring that is why Trump went global with tariffs. It was the ballsiest thing I’ve ever seen anyone do, truly shocking and utterly inescapable. If you tried to do it one at a time, you’d be giving people an opportunity to adjust. Doing it all at once jams up the system

This is going to be a hot take but Chinese foreign nationals should start being rounded up and sent home. China unleashed a plague on the US once and will do it again without a second thought.

That’s only a hot take because you know you’ll be gaslit if you say it out loud.

Point 1. alone just completely ruins their credibility and implies that they're hooked on fent or some other bullshit. Do people actually believe this? Is this bait?

The Chinese only have a few hundred warheads and not enough ICBMs for them all. They have to choose between Wyoming and Washington. Even attempting to go exclusively after US nukes, they don't have the capacity to reduce the US arsenal enough to prevent their complete annihilation. There's about one land based US ICBM for every Chinese warhead. What about bombers and submarines? The situation is only worse if they try to strike population centers or other military or economic targets instead.

Even against what is ostensibly its greatest rival, the US can stay more or less war ready while completely destroying its opponent in one warm afternoon.

So the assurance of destruction is not mutual.
