Ah, rgr.

China does not want war

Oh.. wait...

yep theyd do a proxy war (like iran)

they win long term without one

they really don't

the US is prone to start one to prevent that

they're kinda booming at the moment

It's possible that the Chinks had a hand

i cant think of a reason *why* they would want a war

that is why I am goncearned with Mutts being brazen as they tend to be

Food security is China’s big issue.
If they lose that trade war, it will become a shooting war.
Look at how the Chinese government is dealing with HK.
When food shortages start, they know they’re going to have a whole nation of that.
If they can’t bully their neighbors (cough, us over here in kangaroo land, cough) into favorable trade deals, they’re going to use the lebensraum excuse to start taking land.
Look at their population growth, look at their food production. Shit’s inevitable.

How are Chinese relations with Iran?

like if you follow HK it seems like many of the youth really dont want to be apart of china

@Empire Panda Iranians drive cars from the 70s and use Huawei smart phones from 2019. Das their relationship.

And they shouldn't want to be!

Beautiful

China buys oil from Iran

in large quatities

So do the Japs

iirc

China is also proping up N korea

their biggest issue is keeping up food supply, yeah

N Korea is a buffer between Beijing and South Korea which is full of Mutt soldiers

What I don't get is why does PRC need to so desperately keep hold of HK?

It's a Chinese territory

historically

taken away by Brits

Like.. just let the island go. They just provide you problems!

in a colonizing attempt

which ruined the Chinese Empire

but comrade colonization is okay when communist do it!

When they gave it up, it was a shithole.
Now it’s an economic powerhouse. They want that.
And yes, as doom implies, there’s a bit of pride there too.

it's a rather important symbol of standing up from their knees

Yea, but the same is true for HK.

it also has to do with HK being the most dangereous to the stability of mainland china

Remember, after WWI China was divided into special interest zones by the winners. DESPITE the fact China didn;t even participate...

its hard to sell people on ideas if you dont speak your langauge

They were fucking dominated to the core by European imperialism

well china did get fucked and raped a bit at that time

A decade ago, maybe. The internet is a bigger threat than hongkong, culture wise.
