  6. Dollar won't be the reserve currency for much longer since the US and EU decided to seize Russian assets...🤣
    287
  7. This is an existential threat, so there will be no failure for Russia...🇷🇺
    248
  8. Sanctions will never stop, therefore the only remedy is for the world to dedollarization. "We won't have to talk about sanctions in five years because there'll be so many countries transacting in currencies other than the dollar that we won't have the ability to sanction them" - US Senator Marco Rubio
    207
  9. If you have to threaten others to use your currency then you've already lost. Use of an intermediate currency is based on trust in the economic system of that country. When countries suddenly choose not to use your currency it means that trust has been erode...:text-green-game-over:
    203
  10. Trump pulled out of the Paris Agreement, so China will now take the driver's seat when it comes to climate change...🤣
    173
  11. Can you imagine Marco Rubio interacting with Sergey Lavrov or Wang Yi? It's like a toddler going up against Judo grand masters?🤣
    138
  12. China will just sell intermediate products to Vietnam and Mexico, who will then do the final assembly and slap on a made in Vietnam or Mexico label. Of course the product will be sold at a substantial markup, but that's the price for looking like you're doing something.
    137
  13. "Sometimes it's still wearing the democracy suit, but these are no longer democracies". - Borell just summed up the EU and the US in one sentence...🤣😂🤣😂
    135
  14. Trump will punish countries that don't use the USD with more sanctions, which of course is the main reason for not using the USD in the first place. The jokes write themselves...🤣
    129
  15. TikTok should just move offices back to Singapore and let the US ban the app. TikTok will still have almost a billion users plus it will become the "forbidden fruit" among Americans.
    115
  16. China has alternatives to every US tech company's offering, and in many cases they're better than what's available in the west...🤣

  17. "People of privilege will always risk their complete destruction rather than surrender any material part of their advantage." - John Kenneth Galbraith
    100
  18. With all these tariffs and sanctions against China by the end of Trump's term the US will be living in a technological ghetto...🤣
    99
  19. If given an ultimatum most of these countries for economic reasons would obviously choose China over the US, but they don't want to deal with the retribution the US would ultimately unleash.
    96
  20. "I'm curious about what the US 'plan for the destruction of Taiwan' looks like." - Wang Wenbin, Chinese Foreign Ministry Spokesperson
    88
  21. China has all the goodies that people want at affordable prices. If your choices were between a fully stocked store with low prices or a store with empty shelves and high prices where would you shop?🤣
    71
  22. Here are some other goals the US failed to achieve having the exact opposite effect: Goal: Stop China from acquiring nuclear power technology Action: Export of nuclear power equipment requires a license from Department of Commerce Result: China develops their own second generation nuclear power plants while opening 6-8 reactors per year and exports the technology to other countries Goal: Stop the China National Space Administration (CNSA) Action: Comprehensive ban on cooperation between CNSA and NASA Result: CNSA lunar craft first to ever land on the far side of the Moon, CNSA mission to Mars is successful, and the operational CNSA space station will be completed in 2022 Goal: Force China to use the US Global Positioning System (GPS) Action: After failed negotiations and US pressure China was denied access to the developing Galileo Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) Result: Chinese BeiDou (BDS) is now online with more satellites and accuracy then GPS or GNSS

  23. "People of privilege will always risk their complete destruction rather than surrender any material part of their advantage." - John Kenneth Galbraith
    67
  24. Problem is many products from China are still cost effective even with a 245% tariff. Companies are still going to order products from China when there are no good substitutes and just pass the costs to the end consumer...🤣
    66
  25. China has an annual GDP growth of 6-8% with an industrial output greater than the EU and US combined. The sanctions on Russia, courtesy of the US and vassals, also gives China an abundant supply of cheap energy and resources. Last year the US did 750 billion worth of trade with China, an all time record. For China the US is the gift that keeps on giving...🤣😂🤣😂
    66
  26. That $12 balloon was made in China, therefore we have at least two Chinese balloons shot down...🤣😂🤣😂
    62
  27. We are in an era similar to the period after the waning of the UK Pound Sterling and before the rise of the US Dollar.
    61
  28. It going to be a very cold war, especially during the winter when there's no energy from Russia and no heaters from China...🤣😂🤣😂
    60
  29. US resorts to the Tonya Harding method of competition...🤣😂🤣😂
    59
  30.  @CRUSADER_50  You know it's true because you immediately attack the person instead of the accuracy of the statement...🤣😂🤣😂
    54
  31. Mielei can choke on all the soybean exports that China won't be buying. I'm sure Lulu in Brazil will be more than happy to fill the void...🤣
    53
  32. Chinese investment is conditional on acceptance of the One China policy, therefore any lost Taiwanese business can quickly be replaced with that of the mainland.
    52
  33. Four of the five world's largest banks by assets are in China. JP Morgan comes in at number five...🤣
    50
  34. Why would China care about the Panama Canal? They already have a port in Chancay and don't need a canal...🤣
    48
  35. American elections are based upon which tribe has more fidelity to Israel...🤣
    42
  36.  @Nine-Signs  Your logical fallacy: Strawman...🤣
    41
  37. Due to the EU energy crisis winter clothing and electric blanket manufactures in China are now working overtime to keep up with demand. You can't make this stuff up...🤣😂🤣😂
    41
  38. US knows damn well the arrays under the balloon are meteorological instruments, they're just too embarrassed to admit they wasted 2-3 million to shoot it down...🤣😂🤣😂
    39
  39. Proves that you know you're over the target when you're getting flack.
    38
  40. Japan's population overwhelmingly doesn't want nuclear weapons on their territory, for obvious reasons, let alone offensive nuclear weapons.
    35
  41.  @louisgiokas2206  I don't respond to neo-colonialist arguments...🤣😂🤣😂
    34
  42. To maximize profits manufacturers will produce until marginal revenue equals marginal cost. There's no overcapacity because manufacturers would not produce additional units if marginal cost was greater than marginal revenue. Economics 101.
    34
  43. I smell desperation from the US and their vassals...🤣😂🤣😂
    34
  44. Countries bombed or invaded by the 🇺🇸 since 1980: Iran Lebanon Grenada Libya Panama Iraq Somalia Sudan Afghanistan Yugoslavia Yemen Pakistan Somalia Libya Syria Yemen Niger Countries bombed or invaded by 🇨🇳 since 1980: Zero...🤣
    33
  45. Because they violate international law. Have you not been paying attention?
    33
  46. The Rules-Based Order 1. The USA rules the world. 2. The USA makes all rules including these rules. 3. No one can know what the rules are, only that they exist. 4. No one is allowed to ask what the rules are. 5. The USA will be in charge of the flexibility provided by the rules’ non-existent nature. 6. Non-western countries must be regularly castigated for not following the rules. 7. Western countries must be regularly praised for following the rules. 8. Alternative rules of governance which work successfully (cf. China, Singapore) must always be derided as “authoritarianism”. 9. Unfair global dominance by the 13% western minority (cf. totalitarianism) must always be referred to as “democracy”. 10. These rules over-ride all other rules, including fundamental justice and the laws of nature.

  48. "EU is a garden" - with a lot of serpents.
    29
  49. US was first with "brain-control weaponry" through the MK-Ultra project that ran from 1953 to 1975. Pure projection is an understatement...🤣😂🤣😂
    27
  50. The US is curtailing Huawei while at the same time not offering any alternative to their 5G products. Ericsson and Nokia are European companies, but guess where the majority of their products are produced? Ericsson and Nokia also license essential 5G patents from Huawei. So in the end with Ericsson and Nokia you're still getting Chinese made products using Chinese technology, but paying 30%-50% more for the privilege. Paying more for less, it's the American way...🤣😂🤣😂
    27
  51.  @Danadass  He may be honest about what America does, but he's still crazy because what America does is crazy...🤣
    26
  52.  @johnlui9563  I wish it was only sanctions, but US retribution usually includes asset seizures, terrorism, regime change, military interventions, etc.
    24
  53. @Buzás András Who knew that Vietnam shares a border with the United States? 🤣😂🤣😂
    24
  54. @Buzás András The situation is not the same since Vietnam is not an existential threat to the sovereignty of the US because it does not share a border with the US. It's the US that are funding fascists in Ukraine and there's more than amble evidence showing the influence of these groups in the security and political apparatus of the state. It's the US making the same mistake it made in Vietnam. Russia did not "invent" the groups in the DPR and LPR. You just added that little nugget of dis-information to bolster your flawed argument...🤣😂🤣😂

  55.  @musicdev  Correct! Apple's sales dropped by double digits once Huawei got back into the high end phone game. In the Chinese market you snooze, you lose...🤣

    22
  60. Chinese subsides for NEVs and renewable energy are less than half per unit versus the subsides both the EU and US provide...🤣
    22
  61.  @jostchen  Basically US tech companies could not cut it in China because they didn't adapt to local market conditions. They thought their "secret sauce" would work everywhere and resisted making changes to their strategies. Once they realized what was happening it was too late...🤣

  62. "We won't have to talk about sanctions in five years because there will be so many countries transacting in currencies other than the Dollar that we won't have the ability to sanction them". - US Senator Marco Rubio

  64. What parallel universe are these panelists from because I can't fathom them actually believing what they are saying.
    20
  65.  @hz240  Any war between the major powers would ultimately end in a nuclear exchange. The premise that US enemies love their children more and will submit rather than enter mutual destruction is flawed.
    20
  66. Tesla is producing and selling in China and doing rather well in that competitive environment, so we know this trope from the US has absolutely nothing to do with competition...🤣
    20
  67. We need more of this imperialism talk so the rest of the world can see the true face of the empire and completely reject it. China will be the big winner since they're the exact opposite...🤣

  68.  @TacticalMayo  It doesn't apply to you because you're not privileged...🤣
    19
  69. Russia is a resources powerhouse while China is an industrial powerhouse, the largest in history. US prevailing is not going to happen, it's just going to piss off the majority and isolate the US even further. Basically you have the US, EU, UK, Canada, New Zealand, Australia, Japan, and South Korea versus the rest of the world. The hubris is amazing...🤣😂🤣😂

  70. One of the reasons the Indonesian government went with China for their HSR construction is because the deal included a joint venture and technology transfer from China to Indonesia regards their EMU trains.

  71.  @jamesmorrow1646  Feinting ignorance doesn't cut it. You're going to have to come up with a new schtick...🤣😂🤣😂

  72. TikTok will prevail in court as the legislation is blatantly unconstitutional. TikTok has already won twice in court, so a third victory is the likely outcome.
    17
  73. MAGA muppets will start flooding the comment section with their complete ignorance. It would be hilarious if the damage Trump is causing wasn't so severe.
    15
  74.  @ItsukaShimotsuki  Because domestic producers can't rapidly increase production they take advantage of short term profits by raising prices to match the import plus the tariff. You're getting ripped off by the government if you buy the foreign product or you're getting ripped off by the domestic producer if you buy the domestic product.

  88.  @Heissin  Unilateral sanctions violate the principles of equality of states, friendly relations, and consideration of each other's interests under the UN Charter.

  96. Vijay Prashad has a new piece out on People's Dispatch called "The US & China’s Belt & Road Initiative" which goes in-depth with past attempts at combating BRI. Of course the new Partnership for Global Infrastructure and Investment (PGII) is doomed to fail since it's just a grift to funnel money into the coffers of the upper echelon.

  99.  @hongluong3427  No, because the propaganda value is just too great. Imagine that if TikTok is banned half of America and all of China will be angry at the US government. It would be the same for companies like Temu and Shein since removing low priced goods from the market will hit people directly in the wallet and generate even more anger.

  106. This is going to cost US companies billions of dollars and the loss of markets that will never be available again. China will throw as many resources as needed to become self-sufficient. How is the US going to compete again 1.4 billion people that work 997? Good luck with that...🤣😂🤣😂

  120.  @Placid_Cat  What company is going to tell their shareholders were going to take a massive hit to our profit margins?

  132. After Trump attempted to force a sale of TikTok the Chinese government placed export restrictions on the algorithm the company uses, so TikTok needs permission from the Chinese government to sell the company. Since that's not going to happen let's see if Congress goes through with this ban and the court case that will obviously be filed.

  136. "Furthermore, we have about 50% of the world's wealth but only 6.3% of its population. This disparity is particularly great as between ourselves and the peoples of Asia. In this situation, we cannot fail to be the object of envy and resentment. Our real task in the coming period is to devise a pattern of relationships which will permit us to maintain this position of disparity without positive detriment to our national security. To do so, we will have to dispense with all sentimentality and day-dreaming; and our attention will have to be concentrated everywhere on our immediate national objectives. We need not deceive ourselves that we can afford today the luxury of altruism and world-benefaction." - George Kennan, Head of the US State Department Policy Planning, February 28, 1948

  137. Because the voters in the US are only offered a Hobson's Choice when voting. This is enforced by a combination of government, media, think tanks, and academia. Does anyone honestly believe out of 350 million people the two best options are Donald Trump or Joe Biden? 🍞🎪

  138.  @TarsonTalon  Inflationary pressure that drives reduced wages was here long before the influx of cheap Chinese goods.

Conduct cyber attacks to paralyze military command and control systems. 2. Attacking military bases using drones. 3. Elimination of the island's top management. 4. Defeat of Taiwan's missile bases. 5. Sending aircraft to carry out air strikes on the remaining important targets. 6. Conducting a landing operation. His recommendation was that Taiwan should actively pursue cross-strait dialogue to ensure security and safeguard the island's interests. Otherwise, Taiwan's fate will be determined by others.

  180. The truth is we need the US to sanction more countries so that they end up removing themselves from the western financial system and into the orbit of China and the new multi-polar world. The US and the west are not going to change their behavior, therefore this is the best course of action since these sanctioned countries can declare all their debts to western powers invalid and the west will have no recourse to collect.

The only way it's coming down is loss of helium or hydrogen if that was used and the descend is rather slow. Generally these balloons are not a danger to aircraft. Remember there are hundreds of them circling the earth and crossing international borders each and every day without incident.

All these handouts are just going to end in massive corruption with absolutely no benefit to the average US consumer...:text-green-game-over:

  298.  @100c0c  The "Public Square" doctrine is well established and even private property can be considered platforms for free speech. It does not change because the public square moves from the physical world into the digital. SCOTUS will eventually hear these arguments because it's too important from them to ignore.

  299. The truth doesn't matter. US is going to attack Iran, which is going to be a disaster on par with Ukraine. Iran's role is to play interference for China while they build up their military and technology capabilities to slam shut that "window of opportunity" the US has been crying about for the last ten years...:text-green-game-over:

  303. Apple is trying to strong arm Tencent and Bytedance to impose the 30% on external payments done through WeChat and Douyin, otherwise they won't allow updates on the App Store. I guess Apple basically wants to commit suicide in the Chinese market...🤣

  304. The Russian isolation project they're pushing has already backfired costing average consumers billions if not trillions of Euro/USD. Now image the same isolation project on China. The damage would be irrevocable and fatal to most of the US coalition economies. When push comes to shove the US will only be giving Taiwan their "thoughts and prayers".

  305. A war with Iran would take the pressure off China, which would allow China to develop their industries and military even further. China, Iran, and Russia may be setting a trap to get the US bogged down in another unwinnable middle eastern war...🤔

  306. Iran may suffer, but the US will over reach and economically collapse with yet again another military engagement that serves no purpose other than to flush money from US taxpayers into the pockets of the elites.

  311. Russia didn't violate the UN Charter as they invoked Article 51 with regards to collective self-defense. The west of course attempts to belittle the declaration that Russia made, however Russia has given more justification than the US and other western nations have ever given regarding their military interventions.

  316. This is actually good because the quicker the US goes to war the faster they can lose and retreat. The US will never stop with the warmongering until they are resoundingly defeated or they run out of money, whichever comes first...😐

  322. World domination is not going to happen. There's going to be a bifurcation in the centers of power with the US leading a much smaller coalition. Once reality smacks the US in the face the US will declare "victory" while the average person in this sphere will be rewarded with high prices for energy, food, and household goods.

  326.  @ElZilchoYo  It will be a clear signal to the global south that genocide does not apply to western countries and they will seek alternative resolution mechanisms, most likely with China taking the lead. You do know that China just brokered a ceasefire between between Myanmar ruling government and the rebel guerrilla alliance? With the Iran-Saudi agreement in place China now has two major peace agreements under their belt.

  328.  @bingus3582  Like how Russia was trying to influence US elections for the past 5 years? It's all over the web, therefore it must be true. PT Barnum was right, there's a sucker born every day...🤣😂🤣😂

  329. US behavior will never change, so the only option is for the US to lose its status and be relegated to a secondary position just as the UK was with the Suez incident in 1956. Based on current conditions this is becoming more and more of a reality as the US empire is clearly in decline.

  330. TikTok will not shut down as they still have almost a billion users worldwide. If Tiktok is banned, which is highly unlikely since the legislation is blatantly unconstitutional, people in the US will just learn how to sideload apps and use a VPN...🤣

  331. China will have a captive market selling all their low cost and advanced NEVs to the rest of the world minus the US and half of Europe. China will also sell all the infrastructure and renewable power generation needed to go with those NEVs. China gets to set NEV global standards, increase the use of renewable energy worldwide, reduce the emissions of green house gases, and make a boatload of cash while saving the planet from climate change...🤣

  334. ​ @jamesmorrow1646  The islands and archipelagos of the South China Sea were first claimed in 111 BC by Emperor Wu Di of the Han Dynasty. The island were usurped by western powers during the "Century of Humiliation". China is rightfully reclaiming what was historically their territory. These are facts that are not in dispute.
