Yeah, and?

Greater power if we work together.
Reality is proving you wrong
its not "we" though is it
its a few unelected people at the top working against us
We, being people whom understand international politics
And can work together against other countries
Like China.
# of democratic countries is steadily rising, so it would seem that it is advantagious over authoritarianism
% of Chinese influence abroad is steadily rising
% of Chinese troops aborad is rising
% of Chinese controlled exports is rising
Unstability of Chinese economy likewise
China will trade with anyone. If they can't trade, then they will gain influence in your country, influence it from the inside and then trade with you
Going to pull the old "They're going to collapse in 10 years" meme argument?
Just like the Yanks use against the EU?
If EU and US were willing to tough it out, they could bring China down pretty quickly by imposing sanctions
EU politics is already being influenced by China
China still is and for some time will be dependant on exports
They're just creating new markets <:pot_of_kek:544849795433496586>
Basically everything America has done against China has aided China
so if the US actually aids china will that hurt it?<:thunk:462282216467333140>

Those tariffs Trump put on China are beneficial to them
Yeah, good luck replacing the european and US market with African shitholes
Chinese goods are 95% created in China, shipped to Vietnam, that last 5% is added and then they're shopped abroad, tariff free
Maybe in 50 years
They're not replacing the US markets
They sill operating within them, as before
They're expanding into European markets
Expanding in to South American markets, African ones, Middle Eastern ones, Oceania, etc
The belt and road initiative aims to expand Chinese reach around the globe
Doesn't change the fact, that without US and EU markets, they'd collapse
Doesn't change the fact that those markets aren't going away
Without air we'd die. What kind of stupid statement is that lmao
It's fully up the US and EU whether they'll keep buying chineese
It *was*.
