Should We Crash China's Economy?
Too late, we've larped too hard as the neo-Athenian Empire, now we will reap the whirlwind of our actions.I get that the Thucydides Trap is a tricky one, but surely the answer is not to voluntarily blunder straight into it.
The US ties with Cuba were never quite this deep and involved a different kind of trade based on gambling, hookers, sugar and booze. As long as Cuba shakes their ass to that tune, they can make money forever especially since they're providing a real good, everyone wants a slice and it's just a small island.Considering that the US wasn't even able to destroy Cuba's economy and Cuba thrived despite the embargo, how is the US going to destroy China's economy exactly?
If you think that the US is powerful enough to do so I think you may be an Amerimutt with delusional dreams of grandeur.
Oh, also, the Chinese government owns 10% of the American debt, so if you destroy the chink economy you will destroy you economy as well.
So good luck at that Amerimutts.
We've already failed on that front with the Iranians - I doubt it'd work on the middle-class Chinese who would experience a drastic decline in their QOL. A foreign government's propaganda won't put bread on the table.Even if you want to just punish the government, you end up punishing the common people, as well. If the US wants to wage economic warfare, they had better think hard about how they can convince the Chinese people that they aren't just trying to destroy them, because the government will certainly be blasting the opposite at full volume.
Do the Chinese still give any credence to the "Mandate of Heaven" philosophy?
That would enable us to grab the knowhow without engaging in the inhuman degeneracy required to get it firsthand.To my knowledge not yet, but they are getting quite far with AI technologies and cloning, anything productive that comes of that, we should steal.

China is leveraged to all hell though and so much of it was put together through financial fuckery. Leveraging debt, using tax benefits, huge amounts of state intervention to specifically undermine global markets and IP theft are all put together to support a massive population and state economy. They have so many more moving parts that they have to specifically calibrate so it doesn't fall apart while Cuba just doesn't.
Which is like 1.5 trillion dollars. We piss away that much on air conditioning for our misadventures in the shitbox.Considering that the US wasn't even able to destroy Cuba's economy and Cuba thrived despite the embargo, how is the US going to destroy China's economy exactly?

With the Africa thing, it might be possible to force Chinese apologists in the media to pick between China, and their own political interests. Bellow is a picture of anti-suicide nets at Chinese factories. They basically treat their own people as slave labor, so I can't imagine they treat Africans at their holdings there much better. If information could be found on this, and put out everywhere, it could force the apologists to tell the truth about China.Yeah, you can't just cut off China's access to Africa. China is extraordinarily reactionary like I said. Just look at the South China Sea. Despite having 'China' in the name, its claimed by multiple countries who are very close to it. Even that has to be with a tender touch. If we crater their shit into the ground, Africa will be the least of their worries.
EDIT:
Oh and the last time the French got involved in Africa it caused the migrant crisis by convincing us to obliterate Libiya. Lets not let the frogs in on anything where they can fuck it up.
Mao actually offered to send the US 10 million women at one point.I say we just confiscate all their women.
It'll hurt China, and also solve our incel issue.
Two birds and all.
If there is any justice left in our world then NeoLiberalism will be remembered as one of the most destructive and evil ideologies to ever exist.People forget the 'historical context' around how this all came about.
The West is largely responsible for China's rise, it's about time it got busy with it's fall.
China rose in the wake of all that post 1989 optimism that came with the fall of the Berlin Wall ,which Francis Fukuyama described in his infamous article 'The End of History'.
Fukuyama argued that with the imminent collapse of the Soviet Union, the last ideological alternative to liberalism had been eliminated. Fascism had been killed off in the Second World War, aparthied in S.A had been dismantled and now Communism was imploding. States like China, that called themselves Communist, were seeing political and economic reforms that were 'inevitably' heading in the direction of a liberal order.
History had reached it's goal and representative government, free markets, and consumerist culture would dominate the world!
Simply put, there was a lot of sunny optimism and utopian thinking going on in those heady days and a rather niave belief emerged that capitalism and democracy would trump ideology. Once there was a McDonald's in Red Square and Tiananmen square all would be right with the world and the attitude was that all China needed to become part of this liberal new world order ....was access to the international market.
Well those that forget their history are doomed to repeat it.
History didn't stop in the easy living 90's-2000's, instead the party did.
9/11 proved once and for that the West's sunny optimism was about to face some harsh realities and ideology might just be a tougher nut to crack then we thought.
Now people are beginning to question the value of rampant globalism and recognize it as the threat to democracy that it really is.
If the fightback is to start anywhere, it must start where it began. By kicking the corporate interests whose greed sold our manufacturing sectors to China in exchange for cheap DVD players and iPhones for all (and a healthy profit for them of course), thus making them a global economic superpower.
It's no coincidence that Trump and Brexit happened all at once. Economic nationalism is popular right now beause it's a manefestion of the unease people are feeling about how much control over our lives we have sold to globalist interests and the shady nations they do business in.
Fukuyama and his managerial state buddies deserve to go down as the biggest group of exceptional individuals in history.
aparthied in S.A had been dismantled
I really have to disagree with this statement. It's not any amount of ownership that is making Blizzard shrivel, it's that China is Blizzard's main market. Video game market economy 101: China loves microtransactions and it has whales by the absolute fuckton. It is a dream marketplace for a piecemeal shitty company like Activision-Blizzy to tard cum on. The rest of the free world combined can suck dick in their bank books, they're more than happy to sacrifice the rest of the market if they can sell solely to China. Pissing off the Chinese government would mean losing rights to selling their shit to the Chinese playerbase so they will always come first.
Sorry, slightly rant-y over something minor. It's just a detail that really gets in my craw. Even if there was 0% ownership, Blizzard would still bend over.
