Even Chinese people don't believe the Chinese propaganda, they're simply powerless

You only need two things to hold a man in place

A heaven, and a hell

True.

The heaven must be in sight, and the hell must be felt when he misbehaves

China has mastered the art of volume

Meaning they use exactly the right amount of force to stop an uprising

And they constantly confuse people, too

So they can't form stronger goals

Yeah, well, all that goes out the window if we manage to succeed in tanking China's economy. Ofc there's also a good chance they'll wreck it on their own, what with how desperately they're artificially inflating it.

China is doing a lot better nowadays

So the communists in the US have discovered mechanical advantage?

Not since Trump started fighting back.

They've incorporated a dose of capitalism, social movement has increased

China's biggest problem is the excess of young men vs available women.

Yes, very true

This is what could change China, a huge amount of hopeless men

That or they need a conflict to dispose of them.

Especially if the economy tanks.

I recall seeing, not too long ago, a list of events that would threaten world peace. The top item on that list was: "China experiences a hard landing."

Which their banks had a bad day last week. Not sure if they bounced back.

The state has been taking control of banks that are not performing anymore.

So it seems like the sanctions are working.

Indeed.

Good thing we got Trump when we did...

They are only working, imo, because the rich in China are continuing to move money out of the country.

So other "banks" are buying China's currency which prevents China from being able to control it's value without jeopardizing investment.

An economic crisis, a frustrated male populace, sounds like a recipy for disaster

A disaster for China, yes. And there's all sorts of ways it could be a catastrophe for the entire region.

Maybe China thinks the best solution would be to simply roll on Siberia and take it over.

Or simply take over the rest of SE Asia.

The Himalayas prevent them from just swooping in on India, tho.

It would spiral into south east Asia, Eastern Africa, and probably affect the border with Napal/India

Heh. Just imagine China attempting to colonize Africa.

It'd be an interesting outlet for their overabundance of young males.

They're already doing that

Well they are right now by putting the governments into crippling debt.

By force, I mean.

Like, literal colonization.

Oh, well
