The main issue with China and why they are called a paper tiger is twofold. The first is they don't have force projection. Sure they can destroy any US carrier using land based hypersonics but the US is going to position their carriers exactly outside that range and pick at their air defenses with unlimited sorties and glide bombs. China is powerless to sail out and stop them. It will basically be a repeat of the bombing campagins agiasnt Germany and Japan in WW2. Eventually enough infrastructure will be destroyed that America will make a beach head. China has no ability to do the same to the United States.

The second issue is that every country surrounding China HATES THEM with the FURY OF A THOUSAND SUNS. If they used their millitary for anything other than defense those countries would use the opportunity to attack. Furthermore those countries are allies with the United States and would be happy to provide staging areas for further attacks. The US could also clandestine arm them which has never backfired.

They're also technologically behind the US still even with their thieving ways.

Their nuclear arsenal also might not be completely functional but obviously no one wants to test that out

The Chinese word for China is Zhōngguó, which literally means "Central State" or "Middle Kingdom". The "middle" refers to China being the center of the world, and they believe that every other country is inferior to them and should have to pay tribute to them.

There WAS that story in the news last year that some rocket force guy decided it would be cool to steal and sell the rocket fuel, and fill the tank back up with water


Corruption is a bitch
 
This is a bit old, so apologies if I missed it.
DJT is going to pay illegals to fuck off.

As long as we're keeping new ones from coming in and the fuck off fee is less than what it costs to round them up and give them a hearing, this is a brilliant idea.

The United States is not his HOME you fucking lying sack of shit.

He was illegally occupying this country and is a gang member. Maybe a cell can be found for this fucker. Trying to free an El Salvadorian gang member may just be a crime...
He’s back home now.
 
China's entire military is geared towards coastal defense.
China didn't need to force project against the USA. They need to project force against Australia, the Philippines, and the entirety of Southeast Asia. Against America, they already had an excellent strategy going:
  1. Corrupt government officials in America (done)
  2. Infiltrate Mexico and Canada to surround America as much as possible (going smoothly)
  3. Facilitate the importation of drugs to poison America (harder but still not impossible)
  4. Clandestinely finance subversive actions against America (Palestinians, climate, faggotry- as long as the end is the same)
  5. Fund the Confucius Institutes to project Chinese influence into America (going smoothly as nobody seems to care)
  6. Appeal to the globalists when America objects to the above (ongoing)
The one flaw in their plan was that they underestimated just how much influence America has over the global economy and overestimated their own economic position. Trump's plan of "we can be retarded for longer than you can remain solvent" solves almost all of these problems by striking China in the wallet. I can see China leaning on their bought politicians to continue funding as much as possible with taxpayer dollars while China focuses on keeping order internally.

You make it sound like China has us by the balls when, I'd argue, it's far more akin to Sneaky Pete bullshit that shrinks away when you shine a little light on it - which is what Trump has done.

Yeah, it's been a pretty well known fact for a while that if the US just stopped buying Chinese goods Chinas economy would freak the fuck out.

We saw it during the first trade war with Trump's first presidency and we're seeing it now.

China is an export economy that exports cheap shit that only Americans really want.
 
-Rap in general is dying
I'd reword it to

Rap outside of "street artists" and other figures like that are using the same 3 styles resulting in them sharing a lot of the same listeners and driving away other potential fans, forcing those fans to either stick to older music or not listen to the genre much entirely

China’s entire plan up until recently was skirting about the rules the US used to play by, and even then, it was a gamble on whether their system would collapse or not before Glorious Chinese Century. We’re talking about a state that wants to be the largest economy on earth but is actively trying to prevent transition to consumer economy, they want to be a billion big mighty Nazi Germany that can produce anything.
They got so angry at Trump being re-elected because Trump doesn’t play by the rules their entire plan revolved around. This entire tariff stand off is the Chinese government blowing a giant gasket.
 
My Phones auto correct is the most retarded fucking thing. I edited it
My post was a joke, buddy. You didn't fuck up your original post.

My joke/point is that only the US has the disposable income to buy all the shit China manufactures. Europeans are all poor and Africa isn't buying fast fashion crap. Hell, in the Congo, they actually give a shit about the quality of their clothing.

Let’s bear in mind how hard the system tried to prevent trump 2.0

God was watching and laughing as democrats fretted over whether Joe or kamala should run.
 
China won't accept anything that won't allow them to save face. But there are many ways to save face. They are taking a pounding right now. This cannot continue.

As for your second point, it's gotten larger if I recall in terms of their formations. But the fact remains that their last real war was against Vietnam. And they lost. I think they could win in a extended war against Taiwan, but holy fuck they would take enormous losses. The Taiwan strait would be a graveyard of warships with how many anti ship missiles Taiwan has stockpiled.
You're acting like the Taiwanese are 100% in favor of independence from China. They aren't. A significant percentage see themselves as Chinese first, that's why they've never held a vote. That's also why every effort to relocate the semiconductor work from Taiwan have all failed so far: the critical people don't want to move to the West.

The hilarious thing is that if the CCP wasn’t so greedy and let the lower classes get wealthy, they’d have enough domestic demand to weather Trump’s tariffs. Unfortunately for them, the elite kept everything for themselves and now their economy is completely dependent on exports.

TSMC finally built an American fab after all of their major customers “asked” them for one. They had no choice.
 
yes, running an open Progressive would be Political Suicide which is why the Democrats strategy in 2028 will likely be a white person thats ostensibly Centrist for President while the Progressive retards in Congress actually drive policy which is pretty much what happened with Biden, what Republicans have to do to keep the White House is to find another populist like Trump because running another Corporatist hack like Bush 43 would end in complete and utter disaster and the country would be handed over to Progressive faggots on a silver platter
Well you can't run Gavin cause of San Fran and LA, so is Shapiro the best bet?
