It's really amazing. China
iswas fake and gay, economically-speaking...but the Western leaders are so retarded and evil they still let China pull ahead.China had nothing. Now they have real wealth, because the people who took over our countries wanted to destroy us from the inside out.
International bankers realized that it was cheaper to let China manufacture everything, even if China steals everyone's IP. And since those same bankers bribe the hell out of western politicians, the governments did nothing at best or actively aided this money and tech transfer at worst.
Exporting industry to China to disempower the west is definitely intentional.
NAFTA was the bolt gun to the back of America's skull.
No, China is fake and gay. Western leaders aren't retarded, their goal was to benefit from China's rise personally while intentionally destroying the US economy.
That's the dirty little secret about Communist regimes, if left to their own devices, they almost always have nothing. They rarely recover post the revolution. They only succeed when fed because they are parasites. And even then their economy spends money in wildly inefficient and corrupt ways that can't survive if ever faced with a real economic shock. If you stop protecting enabling the communists, the whole fucking thing dies.
China has serious problems.
This has got to be thé dumbest comment I've ever read lol
How exactly are they parasitic? They outproduce any other country on earth, and their economy skyrocketed by being more efficient than any other country in most regards, to the point where they can outcompete their European/American counterparts despite shipping costs & tariffs. Nobody is forced to buy chinese goods, any country is free to increase their tariffs if they want. Market economy at work.
An example of parasitism is Israel or most African countries. They take, take, take and provide nothing in return. China is entirely self-sustaining.
But the funniest part of your reply is the link to a Youtube channel that releases a new video every 1-2 days about how china is racist, weekly videos about how china is going to collapse any day now, how a china-nato war is imminent, how china is making the climate change, how china is about to launch a nuclear attack, how chinese peopl are starving, how china has the ugliest buildings, how china is teaming up with the taliban, how china's neighboring countries are about to invade them, how china is about to invade America, how china is trying to start a war in space, how china will betray and invade russia, conspiracy theory about how xi jinping might've died in a flood (11 months ago, spoiler: he didn't die in a flood), how china is about to start a war in 24 DAYS (also 11 months ago, spoiler: china didn't start a war in 24 days), how the great wall of china is about to collapse (spoiler: it didn't collapse), how xi jinping is about to get assassinated (spoiler: he didn't get assassinated), how china about to start another pandemic (9 month old video, spoiler: they didn't start another pandemic), how the US border crisis is actually china's fault (spoiler: it's the democrats' fault), how china has ebola bio labs in california, how china's military is "too big to fight" (what? 😂), how an american businesswoman died and "Something Tells Me China’s Behind It" (spoiler: no evidence at all), how "Russia Plans to Nuke China", how china is screwing over israel, how china is screwing over palestine, how russia AND china are going to invade taiwan together, how china is using "communist mind control"
This guy's an unintentional comedian so I do appreciate you introducing me to him, he earned himself 1 new subscriber thanks to you! 😂
Found the CCP fag.
They outproduce every country on Earth because every country on Earth is currently supporting them to outproduce every country on Earth. In fact, part of their problem is they are outproducing at an explicitly higher cost than everyone else, for no purpose. Nothing in their economy is efficient, which is why even with high scalability, their costs are so high per unit. The entire planet needs to purchase all available Chinese goods in order to keep the industries running, otherwise they would fully collapse, as it is an industrial ponzi scheme. Of course, purchasing all available Chinese goods will not be enough to keep their economy afloat.
No part of China is self-sustaining, as it abandoned Autarkey decades ago, along with every other Communist state, because Autarkey doesn't work. Israel doesn't parasitize anything, it's one of the few countries that spends money well and has a strong economy. The US military industrial complex dumping weapons into it isn't parasitism. African countries basically can't parasitize anything. Most of what they produce is raw material exports. They can only be parasitized when not run well.
It's interesting that instead of watching one video, you memorized the entire past 5 years of videos from China Uncensored. You definitely haven't seen them before.
Repeating the same lie multiple times doesn't make it true.
HAHAH there it is, like clockwork. Every fucking time you find some retard spreading the most random disinformation online, it always comes back to this. I can see why the word "parasite" is so stuck in your vocabulary though - you are one.
No, really. I haven't. I can prove it:

I literally just scrolled through their catalogue just then and wrote down a few of the funniest ones I found. List could've easily been longer if I went deeper in. No comment on the actual content though? Just gonna skip past the "CHINA'S ABOUT TO NUKE RUSSIA BY USING COMMUNIST MIND CONTROL" to speculate on whether or not I've seen the channel before? 😂
Listen CCP shill, I don't know what to tell you. Israel's economy is completely fine, from lemons to IT. There is no economic paratization, and you literally don't have evidence of it.
I'm not a "CCP shill", I've never even set foot in China. You, on the other hand, is a Jew going around shilling for Israel, and contrary to what I do, you're employing lies to shill for Israel.
You really make it easy to understand why you people were banned from 109 countries, you people are the closest to pure evil one can get.
Still not a jew, fatty.
For those unaware this is a great example of a bot/scripted response. Read through it a few times.
Nah, no bot writes like that, you're just absolutely retarded.
The American empire is crumbling.
It sure looks that way. But I keep hearing China is about to fall apart. Man if all those countries are depending on China what happens if they do fail
China was going to fall apart. But because the West is run by fucking traitors, now China has real wealth, as the West crumbles.
From western media.
That is true
I imagine it's similar to how North Koreans are always hearing about how great and powerful their nation is.
China is going to fall apart unless the Chinese increase their shitty TFR. However, China will fall apart after the US and not before. For all its problems, China is the largest ethnically homogenous country on the planet. The Chinese are at a much better position than the Japanese or the Koreans and have more time to do something about it.
And like all empires, it's subjects eat the core nation.
USA and Europe dug their own graves. Why so much progressivism?
It was done intentionally by the progressives.

Asserting world wide jewish conspiracy.
No faggot, that's wrong.
America has been losing it's influence with ineffectual leadership either by design or nepotism, but at it's core has still enough assets to come through. For example, it's air superiority would WIN any future major war alone. All the talk of Russian and Chinese 'next-gen fighters' would either be grounded or scrap against the now 26 year old F-22.
China is a MASSIVE glass cannon, their economy is a lie with a currency constantly manipulated, their military is untested and a lot of their gear only looks good from the outside, their buildings are made of tofu effectively that I'm more scared that massive dam will burst on it's own and they have a bigger population issue than even Japan or South Korea. They're effectively a bee in that if they sting it'll hurt but they will die doing it.
They're very effectual, they just hate us.
Yes to both.
Assets are meaningless, if the goals of the people in charge aren't to utilize them.
And if it comes to that we're probably still fucked anyway, even if we "won."
So is the West nowadays, and has additional problems too. Exactly because a lot of people are waking up, the West is more likely to implode, and have its own people turn on the scum at the top who have betrayed us. Despite the USA's more experienced and funded military, I wouldn't be surprised if the USA fell apart to infighting before the Chinese did, if it ever came to actual conflict.
A while ago I would have agreed...and still do, but with some caveats. Firstly, all modern economies are lies. All major countries use fiat currency, which is inherently manipulated. USA is the petrodollar...which has an will continue to accrue losses as more and more people bail out.
Trade is the real currency, and you can see from that map that China is actually overtaking the USA. So, yes, China's currency is fake and gay...but so is ours...and now we're losing our backing on much of that. For all I know, China now has a more stable currency (again, even though it's totally fake) than the USA.
Yeah, military is about the only thing the USA has going for it, but even that has been slipping massively. We may even still have Chinese drones and other tech in our fleets, too. Our training is some of the best in the world (because we keep fighting everyone), but I think much of our equipment is nowhere near as competent as we've been led to believe.
TL;DR: Yeah, China is fake and gay. But so are we, and I don't think the gap is as big as a lot of people assume.
I not saying we should just ignore China like Cuba that their rants mean nothing but I am saying them being 'the next world hegemony' ain't going to happen.
There's too many internal issues with China to allow that to happen. In the US a lot of these issues have been artificially created to decrease their influence and power.
I heard rumours recently that Winnie might've suffered a stroke and given the corruption and centralisation of power in China, if he was to suffer a medical issue that incapacitates him, it would be a house of cards situation.
Yeah. Russia will probably lead that alliance.
Possibly but they need to do A LOT of house keeping first. I actually predict we'll have a stalemate for decades where NO COUNTRY or organisation holds hegemony if America falls enough that they lose it.
Russia and China will always have problems. It's an alliance of convenience, not really anything else.
Plus the really fancy equipment is vulnerable to sabotage if you have enemies anywhere in your supply chain
Manufacturing wins wars. America has none.
They have Tesla and Space X at least, kinda sad that a South African is one of the leading people keeping America in the manufacturing game apart from weapon contractors.
SpaceX is a government grift and Tesla makes glorified toys for environmentalist NIMBYs. It's fucking retarded how Musk mumbling "muh robotaxis" is enough to pump up TSLA's overvalued stock, stock that already priced in said robotaxis that don't exist yet.
America is in second place to China's first place, and we've got about 60% of their capacity. We're also growing our industrial output at about 2x the rate of China, who has significantly slowed down.
Plus we make actual good shit. We produce quality products and high tech stuff, while China makes cheap shit and crappy electronics.
We're fine on a manufacturing front.
We are losing a lot but not quite as hollowed out as the UK. But on our way
I mean, if "not quite as hollowed out as the UK" is our standard of measurement, we might as well just quit right now.
We’re at the stage in the life cycle where our mouse brains will be forced to head towards the smell of cat piss so the parasite can transition to its next host (china)
People forget that Germany also had the most advanced military in WW2
Cope.
It doesn't matter how many F22s you have when they're all flown by black trans lesbian DEI hires and China has the manufacturing base to build 20 planes for each of them.
With them still spreading fake GDP numbers (GDP is masturbatory metric, completely unqualified to represent economic health yet modern economists with toilet-paper degrees think otherwise), I doubt it's correct. 2020 numbers don't have weight because if I recall China had to short it's own currency twice or more, but maybe making their currency dirt-cheap and fucking over its own citizens' purchasing power is what wealth-suckers love best. Also, the global economy went down because of COVID, it's not a good signpost year to use.
BRICS nations and their spheres of influence, by default, are going to be trading with China more than the US at this point within their own mega-socialist/caste circlejerk. And having more people buy shit from you doesn't automatically equate to winning. It doesn't say anything about the quality of their manufacturing, as bulk of Chinese-manufactured products don't last more than a few years (read, garbage). It doesn't say anything about them wasting money on ghost cities/towns/buildings that nobody ever uses, or bait-and-switch infrastructure projects in Africa that then blow up in their face.
If it is all true, and the other nations of the world want to wallow in shit and support fascism posing as neo-Communism, they can wallow. We can cut the rest of the world off, focus on throwing out all the detritus ruining the economy and government, and become an isolated powerhouse for ourselves.
Yep, China fakes everything. It's their culture created by the CCP and it's destroying their country from the inside.
America fakes everything, too lol
Our inflation metrics are completely fraudulent. Our jobs reports are fraudulent. Our shit 100% stinks.
If you remove "our" from your statement, you'd have an accurate assessment of the global economy
This goes against the zeitgiest here, but I think it's one of the few good things in this era. This isn't a map of control, it's a map of giving the fruits of your nation away to others, or the map of importing foreign shit into your country.
Most of the US's trade in 2000 is offshoring and sending our wealth to foreign counties for cheap shit. Giving all our stuff away is how we got into a bad state here. By 2020, we already started seeing a return to onshoring. The US is currently the country with the lowest percent of their GDP in exports, not counting countries like Ethiopia who simply cannot have trade. We now have more domestic production and make more things in America, and we give less to other countries. This is good, IMO.
The Chinese work hard, extract wealth from their country, then send it to other countries so they can get fake and gay numbers on a bank account balance. That's retarded. It can buy you soft power, but we're rapidly realizing that isn't real. Physical objects and resources and production facilities are valuable, but promises of fiat are not. As Russia in 2022 proved, all of your assets in clown world can evaporate overnight. And as 2020 proved, those trade links to other countries are liabilities, not assets.
I'm not sure if you've been to other countries, but other countries are not self sufficient. There's way more 'Made in America' in America, than there is 'Made in <country>' in any foreign country. And I want there to be even more 'Made in America' here. This is a map of America turning it's attention inward, and (hopefully) cutting ties to the rest of the world in the near future, and I am happy to see it.
America won ww2 because of her massive production capacity.
We are giving that to China in return for cheap mcdonalds toys and plastic flags.
We definitely shouldn’t rely on China the way we have, but you have to keep in mind that 60% of that orange, like combined, has a lower gdp than California.
Well, yeah, America makes nothing but goyslop movies, overpriced unreliable cars, and seed oils now. Everything else was sent offshore. We're a fake and gay economy that prints monopoly money and shuffles it around. The vast majority of our workers shuffle between pretending to work, and performing useless tasks in the name of appearing to work. The only growth industry in America is sick people, because we all spend it our fake prosperity on getting fat, drunk, high, and horny.
China produces stuff for much cheaper than the USA could.
China has access to plenty of high-demand minerals both domestically and through agreements with other countries ( especially in Africa ).
Lower labour costs, more workers, less civil unrest, no blacks and browns ( the % potential pool of actual worker is higher ), copying other's tech and software, less knee-caping regulations, less environmental protection, etc.
They are also alot more willing to cut corners on quality and then adjust based on feedback / recalls / fines with the least costly fix. For all the bad things comming out of this, some pretty efficient manufacturing comes out of that too.
Would you buy a $5 cable with a 0.5% rate of defect, or a few $0.5 cables with a 2% rate of defect? They will do exactly the same thing if your cable isn't a faulty one.
You can't compete with that without extensive protectionist policies.
Oh and it's likely an item ''made in USA'' is assembly work done with parts made in China and Taiwan.
So of course China is taking-over.
Never forget that Demographics is Destiny, thus the USA and Europe are doomed to becoming third-world shitholes unless we reverse the demographic vandalism done to our countries.
It's interesting how the majority of blue countries on the 2020 map have gone all in on the current greatest US export: Globohomo.
People that see the world racially win against people that don't. White people are losing hard. Despite all their problems, the Chinese are racially aware, and will be more successful for it.
Watching Pole Barn Garage and he mentioned something interesting. GM used to produce all it's stuff in the USA, employed thousands to do it and had multiple factories.
Now it's one building, about 1k people and the rest is made in China. Just like the rest of us you sold out to cheap labor.
China is engaging in Imperialism to dominate global trade. This is done to parasitize these countries to support their own economy, and is using their Belt & Road system in Africa to turn poorer countries into debt slave countries.
This is being allowed to happen because the Fabian Socialist elites who control the west are heavily invested in China. China is using these connections to benefit in every possible way. Who benefits from the Green Energy effort? China & it's Lithium mines. Who benefits from the Ukranian War? China & it's diplomatic effort, as well as it's military to drain our own military equipment. Who benefits from DEI? Not only does DIE cause a competency crisis that benefits China against us, China actually uses DIE to privilege overseas Chinese in other countries (like in Africa) against the native population. Who benefits the anti-nuclear effort? China, again, making us dependent on lithium while keeping our own energy prices high.
Every step of the way, China has inherited Soviet subversion programs and created new ones for themselves.
McCarthur was right, we should have nuked China when we had the chance. But then again, what were we going to do when the State Department has been the origin point for Fabian Socialist movements in the US since the turn of the 20th century? The State Department did everything in their power to destroy the Nationalist movement of China because it was littered with Socialists and Communists. 1/3 of all State Department officials had connections to the USSR. We've known this since the 90's, we found it in the KGB archives.
I would have preferred the timeline where we were diplomatic with China right after the fall of the Imperial and helped them maintain their new Republic, instead of letting it fester and fall to Communism after the Japanese weakened the KMT further.
We didn't let it fester, we actively prmoted the communists.
Jesus Christ you’re retarded.
Remind me, what is the current status of Canada's anti-tank weaponry?
Oh, that's right, they gave the entirety to Ukraine and it has been expended.
Has Russia developed a worse relationship with China since the war?
Oh, no, wait, they developed a closer relationship with China, securing China's northern border, and keeping Russia from competing against them economically thanks to western sanctions.
I'm sure that whole BRICS monetary system isn't any sort of direct attack on the Petro-Dollar.
Get one from 2024, 2020 was when CHYNUH was responsible for releasing the coof.
China is still falling apart. However the US is also not doing too hot, it's more like globohomo dragging the average american down to the global level.
When China falls apart, they will still have a coherent history, culture, and people.
When America falls apart, it will be a hellscape of ethnic and racial sectarianism.
China is playing to win and our politicians are working for China? That said, China is an economic basket case and most of their "power" is just fraudulent book keeping that's catching up with them.
If we can broom out the uniparty China collapses in under a year.
Addendum for the thick: Current GOP are all part of the quisling uniparty. Vote better.
