    Hey! You aren’t allowed to do that! Only America is allowed to ban exports because of national security.

            The modern Chinese economy is very dependent on trade with the West and other East Asian nations that are generally more favorable of the west.

            Those resources aren’t shit if they can’t make them into shit others will buy.

              That’s not really true. Much of China’s economic growth in recent years has been driven by internal demand and not foreign investment.

            I love the COVID was a bioweapon line of argument because if you track it to it’s logical conclusion, China is capable of making bioweapons that America and the rest of the West are extremely shitty at defending against so China could just hit them again and again whenever it wanted with disproportionate losses for the West.

            It’s deliberately creating a conspiracy theory to show how much you suck.

              And also that the response of every western government to the release of a bioweapon was to do fuck all and infect all their citizens with it and kill millions so that line would go up. With friends like these, huh?

        Couldn’t win against the PVA in the 50s when China had no navy, air force, or tanks to speak of; wants a retry against the 2023 PLA with state of the art hypersonic missiles and drones.

      Not sure I blame them, given that Taiwan has been occupied by fascists for decades.

        Partner’s parents are from Taiwan, and the stories they tell of growing up during the White Terror and martial law period are some straight up yeonmi-park shit. I never really really asked them more though, because theyre both highly cruel and fucked up individuals who’s kids were happy to get away from them.

          Are you me? My partner is from South Korea, and her parents grew up under a fascist dictatorship and were literal slaves (one is a small business owner now, the other is basically his live-in domestic servant). They’ve actually been really nice to me but they abused their kids pretty severely. My spouse likes them (from a distance—she has a harder time with them in person), refuses to go to therapy, and is basically a Berner who hates China. Other than that she’s pretty cool though.

    Anyone who knows anything about China’s REE processing industry should be terrified. They’re so far ahead it’s not even funny.
