  1.  @tonywilson4713  I agree with your assessment. One major point that’s missing, is. China is at war with most of the world. Their influence is in our institutions, algorithms, and media. They sow discord, and misinformation.

  2.  @TheDaeroner  With a disclaimer, CCP not CPC. Using CPC white washes previous sins, of the party. China and Taiwan, are both very different. They are separate countries, and peoples. For China to be free, they have to let Xinjiang and Tibet be free. Let the people decide, to create their own political parties.

  4. No, he didn’t say that. What he did say is, Trump wants to break up important security institutions, and cuts off allies.

  5. Are any, possibly unfairly imprisoned, from other ally countries, getting out? Any westerner in Iran is a target, with those guys in charge.

  6. Thats like banning one boat, from the Chinese fishing fleet. Big damage, no recourse.

  7. Those countries are not like China. They don’t have the same victim narrative. That “justifies” Chinas colonialism, and unrestricted war with the west.

  8. I can’t see how this much disruption, doesn’t take the wheels off the bus. A small disturbance, like a few banks defaulting, is enough to do it. He is tearing up as much as he can, with the whole world.

  9. Anything that cuts Chinese brown coal burning. Like not buying their stuff. Gives a little breathing room.

  10. Can the Tibetan’s and Uighur’s, hold out that long?

  11. With all the white people’s shootings. This shouldn’t even make the news.

  12. Don’t forget, the social and environmental costs, of building panels in China.

  13. Meanwhile, China is building out its military, very aggressively. If we can’t get our act together, real fast, we’re done.

  14. They don’t work better, for being a little emperor, and stealing the wealth of the people.

  15. Tied into the greatest threat. Is Chinas desire, to break up all democracies. It’s not just about, killing all of us, with their pollution.

  16.  @charleswomack2166 We don’t want China helping. They don’t want china invading. A win win, perhaps?

  17. Always remember, if the overall intent is to reduce harm, to us and the world. None of these metals, should be processed in China.

  18. But ChatGPT self censors any critical content about China. It’s not a good source.

  19. Hasn’t New Zealand become a vassal state of the communist party! Nullifying any freedom benefits.

  20. Canada, we have lots of oil and gas too.

  21. There was a gold discovery on Canada’s north coast. That the Chinese wanted to buy. To get an excuse, for arctic waters access. They have been buying or commandeering, resources and strategic locations.

  22. Ok, it is an operating mine. The deal didn’t go through, on security concerns. But in 2013 China did buy Nexen, a large oil sands producer. With assets in Nigeria Guyana and the Gulf of Mexico. It sold, because the USA didn’t allow a pipeline.

  23. And the masses of Chinese bots. So annoying. Taiwan is a wonderful country, and needs to be saved.

  24. If they can get past local, and Chinese promoted, corruption. This is a plan for Africa too.

  25. So how are their bankers and suppliers, the CCP, going to play this?

  26. It doesn’t fix the Chinese aggression. But it’s certainly entertaining.

  27. Meanwhile, the political isolation, and paranoia in the CCP, is even more dangerous. They have promised to build 3000 more nukes. https://youtu.be/eEoLJruphFQ

  30. Smarten up people. Don’t let China fool us too. They are more sophisticated with their propaganda, and disruption of our democracy. Taiwan free forever.

  31. TikTok is only one from China. It’s the whole group. Like Temu and Wechat, as well.

  32.  @doujinflip If Japan isn’t leading, in sex dolls. We know there is a problem.

  33. “Back under the influence”!!! Stop, using the word reunification. That’s part of China’s warfare package. We all say it, we all start to think it’s true. No, Taiwan is not theirs anyway.

  34. Forehead slap. He says both candidates suck. DT did something right. Yet the comments are all, “he is a Democratic Party shill”

  37. My concern for Tesla. Is having a large factory in China. It’s a trap. For seriously toxic pollution. Check out, the rare earth processing in China.

  38. Before anyone gets on their moral hobbyhorse, for the Palestinians. Two things. Their leaders don’t want to coexist with Israel. We conveniently ignore, Tibet, Xinjiang, Syria, Myanmar, Solomon Islands, etc.

  39.  @maxryan5738 Be pissed off at the ruling class. But why follow a guy, who wants to be accepted by the elites. His version of draining the swamp, was tax cuts for the biggest corporations. The same corporations, that are bleeding the middle classes.

  40. Is he talking about Canada? We have created a huge entitlement mindset. I don’t mean medical, that makes sense. It’s for the people, not the corporate lobbyists. But the pay my rent, I’m on disability, and that’s not enough!!

  41. China will come to the rescue, and then never leave.
    1
  42. If we get serious about, the CCP financing, backing, and supplying, the cartels? In part of its unrestricted warfare, against the west.

  43. The Tibetan’s found out. What happens if you are peaceful. Living next to communists.

  44. A collapse of Russia is quite dangerous. With China baiting, warring internal factions. A ramped up version, of what they are doing worldwide.

  45. Are you saying? Traditional Chinese territory, that they don’t want!!

  46. As we go through a world wide debt unwind. It’s going to get ugly. He has one trait that is essential. A willingness to work with allies, rather than alienating them. China is doing everything it can, to f us up.

  47. An interesting twist in Canadian politics. Poilievre our Conservative Party leader, was heading for a landslide in our next election. He is backpedaling hard, now that captain chaos in the states, is in “charge”.

  48. China, is happy to fill the void. While the USA is in chaos.

  49.  @SverreMunthe  I’ll take oil and gas any day. Over China building hundreds of new coal plants.
