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
The EU and the US aren't together
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
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*.
Now it's not
Because China is in the European and American political system
Either outright buying off politicians, bribing them, using their economic influence in that country to get policy pushed through, etc.
Yeah, and the people can vote for kicking them out any time
They've already done this against the EU
France proposed banning foreign investment in strategic sectors, the Chinese simply got the Portugese to veto it
Only France and Germany truly matter.
If they _really_ start to care, they'll do what they set out to do
if it means sidestepping the EU, they'll have no problem doing that
they done it multiple times tbh
There's just a taste of what they've done in the UK.
>Energy sector
I can show you what they're doing in Australia
They own 1 / 3 of all drinking water companies for one
