  1.  @Shenzhou.  The Yellow Peril greatly predates the 1960s. Think - the railroad era of the 1860s.

  2.  @Shenzhou.  China is aging at .9 year per year. China is in actual decline. Demographics are destiny.

  3.  @Shenzhou.  America has many voices. How many does China have?

  4.  @Shenzhou.  It is my understanding that the only voice in China that counts is the Governments.

  5. Ukraine wants to be in the American group. It is generally more profitable being with the Americans. The rest of the world is in demographic decline. America is barely holding steady.

  6. And this is not the only year it has happened. There are many more.

  7.  @marat4519  Racism hasn't been an actual problem in America for about 30 years. I used to march against it in the 60s.

  8.  @MarkYeung1  "Do you support Taiwan independence?" Only the Taiwanese want that. It may be enough.

  9.  @Shenzhou.  Governments always need better control of how people think. Censorship is not enough; bad thoughts and the people who think them must be destroyed.

  10.  @Shenzhou.  China should set an example for the world and surrender to the Russians. Set an example to be followed by Ukraine.

  11.  @Shenzhou.  All that 'freedom' and 'liberty' stuff is poison. What actually works is obedience.

  12.  @romanceidiot  The US hasn't mass murdered on the order of 20 to 80 million American citizens. At best America is in the multi thousands. Not counting those we were at war with. America never allied with the German Nazis. The Russians did. Russian Jews decamped to Israel because of Russian Jew hatred.

  13.  @Royalearthangel  There is FORCE in what you say. Enough to move universes. Well done.

  14. Except that being hostage to any other currency was worse.

  15. Without oil energy the world will be going into economic collapse. The Saudis want to encourage that.

  16.  @michaelangelo5580  The US got Russia to start a war so it could impose sanctions and destroy Russian oil production. The Russians were very happy to cooperate.

  17.  @tonypeterson5316  And countries in the B&R deal long enough are unhappy with the quality of Chinese Construction - and other things. China can't keep investing if it starts a war with its largest customer.

  18.  @bobsmith3983  Of course.

  19. Demographics is destiny. And 2/3rds of China lives on a subsistence level. China is aging .9 year per year. In 5 or 10 years it will be too old.

  20.  @annabellelee4535  The Brits, The French, The Germans, Poland, Israel and maybe 20 or 40 others. Russia has the big prize - China. And China is keeping its distance. If the US keeps doing this badly there will only be minor powers and the USA.

  21.  @tonypeterson5316  The 21st century is better. China is undergoing a population collapse. It is aging .9 year per year. I'm so happy for China and its future in the world. I'm happy to see you are of a similar opinion. .

  22.  @tonypeterson5316  And some of the early joiners are now expressing dissatisfaction. If China could build a credible Navy it wouldn't need B&R.

  23.  @tonypeterson5316  I have been opposing the CIA since before you were born. Funny how no power in the world takes on their weakness. The Drug War. I have been fighting it every day for 50+ years. I'm around 80.

  24. Read "The politics of Heroin" McCoy. Nothing has changed.

  25. Except we now know that drugs don't cause addiction. Child abuse does.

  26. Russia is killing off its young men. China is in demographic decline. Very smart move by MBS.

  27.  @ballinhard2065  The American National Debt is backed by the international demand for dollars. Trying to sink the dollar is a good move. I'm betting the BRICs and associates will sink further faster. The American Treasury has a plan to attract all the money in the world. Raise Interest Rates.

  28.  @intihuatana2007  As an American I was working on that starting around 1975. (very last century, eh?) I designed the IO board for the World's First BBS. I helped with some of the hardware controlling software, too. I have put computer controls on Bridgeports. Designed the hardware, wrote the software. Kids in America are playing with these toys. In the 80s I was teaching my kids. One is now an EE. You may wish to check back in 5 years. Demography is destiny. Another check point - what if your biggest customer gets unhappy? What if the Chinese people left out of this Great Leap Forward object? Quality control has kept Japan, despite its problems, in the game. When does China become quality conscious? I have worked in aerospace. MTBF had an influence on every decision we made. It is one of the reasons America is so good at it.

  29.  @Shenzhou.  The money printing roughly matches world demand. Demand is declining, so the US Treasury is sucking up dollars with interest rate hikes. We are building cliff faster than Coyote can travel. So far.

  30.  @armandomontillero8379  Saudi has just announced that they - like China - are a declining power.

  31.  @LaMangouste  Oil technicians would be way more valuable.
    1
  32.  @r0__.0  Unnecessary. The Americans can reduce Saudi oil output by withdrawing its oil field workers. The Americans will encourage the Saudis to provide them an excuse. They will probably oblige.

  33.  @m7a7aljahdli  Thank you for the update. China gets its oil from Russian Siberian fields manned by Americans. The Americans have been pulled out. Have you noticed China being more "accepting" of the US in the past week? Xi has asked for closer relations. Russia as a power is gone. Your leaders have to know that. Are they hoping to pick up pieces after the collapse? On top of that Russia is allied with Iran.
    1
  34.  @rayanalzahrani8756  Yes of course. And unskilled technicians will cost less. In any case - where it matters currently is Russia's Siberian fields. China is making overtures to the Americans. I assume some one has done the math and has informed Xi.

  35. The Saudi crude oil cut has improved the position of American oil and gas producers. Who has it hurt the most? Net oil buyers.

  36. China is a declining power. It is aging .9 year per year. The Saudis must be desperate.

  37.  @MariaTorres-gu5eg  Is Chinese currency convertible?
    1
  38.  @tetkongong6780  Without oil the rest of the world is returning to a subsistence level of existence. America will eventually start building nukes.

  39.  @Shenzhou.  Up coming economies need a reliable energy source. And that source is???? Probably dependent on American oil technicians.

  40.  @tetkongong6780  These anti-dollar currency inventions never go anywhere. They lack what the dollar has. Trust and convertibility.

  41.  @cuteandfunnyearthlings2863  As an American I agree. Except in America it is not who votes that counts but who counts the votes.

  42. There have been way worse in history. Like the Nazi alliance with the Russians.
    1
  43.  @Shenzhou.  Upcoming economies are not demographically declining. Almost every economy in the world is demographically declining. Except for the US which is barely holding its own.

  44. Can the Saudis unshackle from American petro technicians?
    1
  45.  @Shenzhou.  Your currency is not floating. No one trusts the worth assigned.

  46.  @harriemeeuwis978  Chinese currency is currently not convertible.

  47.  @mandarinandthetenrings2201  And they are taking some of their money to the USA. Why not invest it in China?

  48. Russia is failing at war and China is in demographic decline. They are accelerating the unipolar forces.

  49.  @Jamrock151  The Chinese aided the opium sellers by making opium illegal. The rest of the world eventually followed suit, aiding the opium sellers further.

  50.  @Shenzhou.  Let me repeat ==> The Chinese aided the opium sellers by making opium illegal. The rest of the world eventually followed suit, aiding the opium sellers further.

  51.  @eddiecheang1513  The strength of China is proven by the fact that Taiwan doesn't WANT to join China. The Americans would have enticed them with cash. And have. China being nice to Hong Kong would also have been an enticement. The strength of Russia is proven by the advances of the Russian Army which has just advanced from Kherson to the Crimea. An advance from the Crimea to Russia is predicted. Both countries are in STEEP demographic decline. That is baked in. Sorry to say but America has at least another fifty years as the world's #1 power. Even Biden (Democrats) are promoting America First policies. It is now how Americans think.
