"They're moving away". I don't care. They haven't moved away yet. Their economy is still grossly dependant on cheap mass exports. Whatever cute plans the chinese might have will not help them TODAY.

They started this in around 2011

And your argument "we could cripple China by doing X", I don't care about that

Yeah and their projects necessary to make this economic shift will take decades.

Because it's not realistic.

Something that won't happen.

You'll NEVER see an embargo against China.

Or something of that nature.

It will happen if China were to actually pose a threat to the U.S. Which they're not.

Like I said earlier, you're talking about fantasy.

You severely underestimate China.

No I'm just saying what the current situation looks like.

You don't even know what the current situation looks like.

Clearly more than you do 🙂

You weren't even aware China was moving away from an export-focus.

I had to show you, they were doing that <:pot_of_kek:544849795433496586>

Do you know what the belt and road initiative is?

Yes I was. What I said was that I don't care what their plans are, because they do not change the current situation.

It's like saying that you "don't have a housing crisis" because you "will build more houses IN THE FUTURE".

YOur future plans does not change the problems of today

```The U.S could kill china with one single trading embargo``` <:pot_of_kek:544849795433496586>

Yes I know what it is. It's just irrelevant to my point.

Yet if you understood the situation, you would change your analogy.

Anyhow, you clearly don't have anything more interesting to add here. Too much of a China fanboy

Weird how I showed you a successful authoritarian country.

Do you even know what the term "trading embargo" means?

:Yawn:

Oh I don't have that emoji anymore :/

Well, Chinese influence is growing in Europe while Americas is falling. Works for us over here.

fuck it

invade china

give it to taiwan

the only way this will be settled is with blood and iron

Alas, tis true

China’s growth is under predicted measures

They are definitely a threat but the more capitalist they become the less of a threat they really are

"but the more capitalist they become" ???

<:WhatThe:543598290936004638>

China is not a threat, I mean seriously they’re contained by the US and her allies. We control the island chain around China and thus could easily cut them off. With REM America has a massive amount of minerals that have all of the infrastructure built to mine it but we aren’t using it rn. If a embargo of China broke out we would easily go to that

Not to mention they need oil from the Middle East

Which we CAN EASLIY cut off
