China is winning the actual war while you win the culture one.

The Chinese make the best electric cars, the best robots and the best drones. Their universities publish the vast majority of scientific papers. They have the best solar panels and they are adding solar and wind power capacity to their grid at a truly unprecedented rate, and will soon have enough to power their entire country giving them honest-to-god energy independence. They have the best AI model and are the only country with the aforementioned power grid capacity to power it. The Pentagon can no longer win against them in it's own war-game simulations in the South China Sea, and they may have recently achieved air-superiority with their rumored near-space 6th gen aircraft - if that is the case, it's well and truly over, so pray that it's not. They are the world leaders in high-speed rail and are working on a passenger jet-aircraft that can travel anywhere on Earth in 2 hours. They are the world's factory, so much so that some of the US' own military contractors have said that total divestment from China is not possible. The CHIPS act has failed completely and has only supercharged their domestic industry. They are eradicating domestic poverty at an unprecedented rate and by some metrics, they are the world's largest economy. Their loan programs in Africa and elsewhere completely cut the western middleman out of vital supply chains such as the materials required for lithium-ion batteries, and this is a program they can (and do) replicate with ease and great speed (cocoa as another recent example.) Import tariffs are barely keeping their cars out of America as is, and when that dam breaks, the domestic auto industry will be destroyed almost overnight. There are one million Chinese cars in North America already, and they are way cheaper and better than anything else on the continent. Oh, and I assure you, no department of the Chinese government uses a fucking cartoon dog as it's logo. Yeah, it triggers the libs, Xi finds it amusing. And speaking of Xi...

Their President, whatever you may think of him, is a career politician, philosopher and statesman. He has literally trained to run their country for his entire life. Your president is a failson New York socialite reality TV-show host and career scam artist. His undisguised solitary goal with the office of president is to enrich himself and his cronies as much as possible ($TRUMP, anybody?) As an example of how interactions between these two nations will go, Trump just withdrew from the WHO and handed total control of it to the Chinese on a silver platter. You don't care, but the Chinese do! Controlling global organizations like that is how a nation builds multipolarity or seizes unipolarity in the world. This is straight-up President Camacho shit and this is only the beginning of similar behaviors from him over the next 4 years. There are already rumblings about China taking some of Canada's oil production if these tariffs go through. I mean, Xi literally couldn't ask Trump to make it any easier. Wasn't Donny doing some sabre rattling at NATO as well last time around? Can you imagine?

Some of this is still ongoing and unfolding, and I have simplified it to varying degrees, but all of it will be inarguably true within 5 years or so. Set your remindme bots and watch, which is all you or anybody else in America will do while China takes control of the world. You'll be too busy fighting to the death with each other over - literally - who can use which bathroom to do anything about it. Great work!! At least we won't have a war, I guess. Outside of a potential civil one, that is. The Chinese would love that!

Congrats, you owned the libs. But at what cost? Guess you forgot that the libs are also Americans and owning them is just owning yourselves. You declared yourselves the winner of this game of Civilization we're all playing and quit. Well China didn't. And now it's too late.

PS. O, and speaking of you libs, don't exempt yourself from any of this. Your guy and his replacement were absolutely no better and would've followed in Trump's idiotic footsteps almost to the exact toe placement. Further, the Democrats were in power when much of the above took shape. Nobody in the western world has been serious about politics since they killed Kennedy, and that's the fucking problem. But we're not ready for that conversation, it's too grown-up. So we'll keep our politics squarely in the domain of pro-wrestling (the president is literally in the WWE hall of fame.) Good luck to us all, I know what side my money's on.
