Why is the MAGA administration so hell bent on pushing China to the top as the global power?
I understand that Cluater B is going to Cluster B, that is how their wiring works. But why is everyone else around Trump supporting this agenda that only weakens and demeans the United States?
Something you need to understand about the Americans here is that they’re not some scheming rats planning the most optimal way of bringing their autocratic future to bear through some hyperdimensional game of chess. They are idiots, all of them, with zero foresight, just reacting to things in impulsive, corrupt ways. The most foresight they have is displayed when they short stocks.
What is best for the public is not necessarily what is best for the ruling class.
Sure, but as Americans how do they benefit from China rising to the top?
By design.
2016 Trump wrecked the US under Putins orders.
2025 Trump is wrecking the US in spite for losing in 2020.
Friend of mine was dating a neuroscience PhD in Syndey, Australia. When they met, he was near flat broke and moved in just to help defray the cost of rent.
A couple years later, he was approached by a Chinese recruiter that offered him a $2M signing bonus and a $1.5M salary to move to Tsinghua University and join their $10M/year neuroscience program. They literally don’t know what to do with all the money and mostly continue to live these modest lives with comically oversized bank accounts. He gets to play with cutting edge equipment alongside a sizeable staff. She takes care of a small house in the country and raises bunnies for fun.
Ah yes. Talent programs.
Whatever you do, don’t ask them to talk about the government haha.
Also true of the US and UK right now.
Kinda, I can say Trump is a child fucker and Xi sucks Pooh cock online, and I (or my family) won’t be thrown into a jail cell.
For now… at least.
I can say Trump is a child fucker
You can scream it into a paper bag, sure.
But good luck keeping your job as a host on The View or a special investigator at the FBI.
Can’t say anything about freeing Palestine in the UK or you’ll get arrested though.
Trump is hell bent on accelerating China’s way to the top.
Except in many aspects they are no longer on the way, they are already there, so what Trump is doing, is also helping China increase their lead.
Many think China is still just a low level production hub for the world. But the reality is that China is already outsourcing production to neighboring countries, and China is now among the world leaders in 8 out of 10 key industries for the future, unmatched by any other country or EU.They just have so many people. They could replace entire major foreign industries and still have people left over.
Couple that with a government willing to do whatever infrastructure and monitary policy and you end up with a ton of growth.
The US may have just had a corporate takeover and will end probably end up looking more like China or Russia going forward.
There are a lot of natural resources here and if you’re not particularly concerned with the local environment or economy, you could probably get a lot done.
I also can’t imagine a future without China having the largest consumer class going forward and that probably represents a valuable market.
Racist headline
Actually, no.
“woos” = more than one “Wu” (吳)
I think they were trying to explain their joke.
