  1. So basically a slave ? 6 months ? How long can you survive without an income ?

  2. 100 problems and they are all self-inflicted. 🙄
    170
  3. I really can't see how people would pay good money for this.... experience ?!?!
    52
  4. How to make your economic system even more problematic. 🙄 A country thats so dependent on imports and exports moving their operations further inland will be a major mistake. It just makes everything more expensive to build and ship.

  5. Considering how many apartments are bought strickly as an investment and never occupied. I am surprised it hasn't already collapsed under its own debt loads.

  6.  @my_pronoun_is_your_excellency  Is there really any difference ?

  8. China doesn't seem to care if such constructions makes sense. Just building to boost their GNP seems to be their only concern. Which is how you end up with so many ghost cities, high speed rail, roads and bridges.

  11.  @Shaker4x4  Seriously ! Why would they pay you when you will do the same job at your own expense ?

  12. Without major reforms, the issues that created the problem still exist.
    4
  13. And hello to the resulting inflationary impact. So the government gets the money and we get shafted. 🙄 Which is par for the course with Trump. Find a problem that doesn't exist and make as much money as possible off of it.

  14.  @BA-ld2kb  I know China's history. A country that's never experienced anything but authoritarian rule. Wants to be a superpower, but lacks the temperment and the allies required. And never learned that cooperation is the new reality. Does that sum it up ?

  15. Ya, their demographics are terrible. Their one child policy started a chain of events they may never recover from.

  16. ​​ @BA-ld2kb  China has 99 problems and they are all self-inflicted. 800 million ? 🤔So are you saying that the majority of the population was living below the poverty level ?

  17. Unless they are tethered to a power source . Human style robots will have the same limitations as EV's. Which is not really practical with our current level of battery technology.

  18. There are always ways to get around sanctions. But they all require way more effort and money to pull off.
    3
  19. The chinese knows they are not in a position to provide much aid to Russia. Or take on our many allies in the region. Unless there are drastic changes in their country. They should be focused on surviving their economic and demographic decline.

  20. Humanity is helpless against a planet that is turning against us. Niether gods or science can change the fate that awaits us. The good times on planet earth may be a thing of the past.

  21.  @PeterRudesindus  China is also very dependent on imports.
    2
  22. Everything started to go down when Ji started his new policies. Which like Russia, have forced companies to rethink their positions.

  23.  @markdsm-5157  Well that's not going to last very long. But it's nice to have a buffer.

  25. China has always been better at creating enemies than allies. Since their policies create a common threat to its many neighboring countries.

  26.  @featuringrageyt3103  Why are you using such an extremely broad definition of the term slave ?
    2
  27.  @shundi4264  You call a mutual defensive agreement an invasion ? 🙄 And you manage to do it without bursting into flames from the shear stupidity. 🙄 Your inability to accept the reality of the situation is really disturbing. And apparently your leaders are more aware of the reality than you are. Since they asked for us to increase our support.

  28.  @door1479  I understand that their GDP isn't based on long term viability. So how is this a positive for where you live ?

  29. Apparently he forgot that showing any sign of independent thinking is a serious crime in China.

  30. It's to bad that your religion doesn't believe it has a log in its eye. But believes they are the only ones who don't. Willfully blind to their own hypocrisy.

  31. With the policies of the CCP pushing out foreign investment. The problem is going to get worse.

  32.  @shivam6113  Power projection. That includes all three paths. This why it's going to be nearly impossible to create another superpower. The only ones with any chance of becoming a superpower. Are the only reason these alliances exist.

  36. For a country this dependent on trade war would be suicide. There is nothing coming out of China that is that critical. These threats by China is pushing foreign investments to other countries. As the CCP moves to a more isolationist position.

  37. ​ @shivam6113  You know what is really hilarious. The idea that India could become more than a regional power. Russia and China are in the same situation. With no chance of ever becoming a super power.

  38. So China is going to be busy for several years moving everything and reestablishing the logistics chain.

  41.  @orinnoco2919  Well it is really funny coming from a religion that's really into judging others.

  42.  @PranicEnergy  China has what one or two generations before demographics slam on the brakes ? It will be interesting to see if China can survive with only half it's current population. Or are they going to open up for a massive increase in foreign immigration. Which is unlikely since they are a hardcore ethno state.

  43.  @Kunfucious577  We are well prepared for normal conditions. The weather at this point isn't normal. Every country is feeling the change in one way or another. As the oceans heat up its causing a domino effect on the rest of the climate. Resulting in more extremes.
    1
  44.  @pennycandyys  And why is the flooding beyond control ? To much rain in too short of a time. A system of flood control that's totally unprepared for such conditions. I have to agree that they didn't handle the release with any concern for the people down stream. But saving the dams from total destruction seems to have become the priority. And they waited to long to make it a more controllable release.

  45.  @BA-ld2kb  So calling the Trump gop a russian proxy gets my 3 responses dropped.

  46. I love how the west gets blamed for everything. 🙄 The Philippines is acting in its own best interest. And many nations are moving to aline with the west as protection from Russian and Chinese aggression.
    1
  47.  @shundi4264  How can you be so mistaken ? The Philippines is a sovereign nation and has been for some time. It selects its own leaders and makes its own foreign policy. Reacting to the aggressive policies of China that threaten their sovereignty.

  48.  @BA-ld2kb  You mean the russian proxy the gop has become ?

  54. Like Russia, China's sense of cultural superiority and inability to cooperate will be their undoing. Besides they need us more than we need them. So we can just sit back as their house of cards falls apart.

  58. A country that is so dependent on imports and exports isn't in a position to start a war. Well except for Stupid Putin. I mean that you would have to be a seriously demented egomaniac to start a war under such conditions. 🤔 Oh crap !

  59.  @RagnarokGenesis00  Your little poop bear has made so many unforced errors i think him and Putin are in a race for biggest fool of the century. Yep, poop bear terrorized his citizens for what like 3 yrs. Now the housing market crashed. The banks are in trouble. Exports are way down. And the migrant workers are fleeing because there isn't any jobs. Ya, China's got this, no problem. 🙄

  60.  @BA-ld2kb  I'm well aware of China's history and it's current problems. A country that has experienced nothing but authoritarian control over its entire history. A country that wants desperately to be seen as as a superpower. But just doesn't have what it takes to become one.

  61. All this heavy spending has a point. China is preparing for a world that will never be. When China will stand as an equal to the U.S.. However the U.S. is strength thru cooperation. Something China doesn't know how to do.
    1
  62.  @navyreviewer  That's pretty funny coming from a country that sees every other race as culturally and genetically inferior. The same attitude the Germans and Japan held in WW2.

  63. If China's economy keeps falling i don't see China invading anyone. Xi's policies have made a mess of what was already a shit show. So if he doesn't move soon the window of opportunity will close.

  64. It sure seems that way. The entire system is falling apart like a tofu construction project.

  65. With so many unforced errors, think Xi and Putin are in a race for dumb ass of the century.

  66.  @PeterRudesindus  What economy isn't debt based ?

  67.  @PeterRudesindus  Well Ji really screwed their economy with his hard handed lock down and economic reforms. The three red lines destroyed that house of cards with a stroke of the pen.

  69.  @mr.skunkfishing5820  While the U.S. isn't prefect... obviously. China, Russia, Iran,and N. Korea are in a league of their own. That dispise the rest of the world. While sucking at its tits to survive.
