      i think China is doing a good job. god, i never thought i’d say that, but here we are. they’ve stopped accepting orders from Boeing, and they said they’re not willing to negotiate until the US admin is willing to treat them with respect. L M F A O

        I wish China would just allow Taiwan and Hong Kong to have their independence , free the ughuirs and then just focus on being an economic powerhouse and they could be a very solid world power to replace the void the US is leaving behind.

        Generally China is not expansionist and imperialist, except for these scenarios so they would be a good friend. I’m not totally opposed to their government style as long as it’s executed fairly, but needs to be a bit more civilian empowerment.

        Given where China was and where they are now, they are doing fantastic and better than they could have ever imagined.

          5000 years. that was the argument that got to me. they’ve been around for five thousand years. i don’t think they’re facing any existential crises over the big baby in the doll house.

            That’s not really true, though. That region has undergone numerous cycles of fragmentation and reunification over that period of time, with different cultures and different dynasties taking over from each other.
