"China's strategy to defeat the USA- with Trump's help"- can you debunk this?

[SwordOfStZip]

The Chinese know that the core reason behind the United States' defeat of the Soviet Union, there were of course others, was getting the Soviet Union to over spend on it's Military. On the face of it the reasoning of the below article seems spot on.

China 's strategy to defeat the US - bankrupt it with Trump's help

As Trump rolls out his tariffs on the world on “liberation day”, China watches with glee.

"........The for-profit US military industrial complex will pile in to maximize costs. Those include not only the 5 oligarchs monopolizing arms sales today but new entrants peddling overpriced new solutions such as Anduril and SpaceX. Expect to see more no-bids contracts like the Boeing F-47 program.

As China currently spends less than 1.5% GDP on defense vis-a-vis 3.5% for the US and 2% global average, China can easily afford to up the ante and trigger further military spending from the US. Just as the US bankrupted the USSR to win the Cold war, history is repeating itself and China will force the US to spend its way to defeat. Sun Tzu defined the best war strategy is to win without fighting.

Despite his rhetorics, Trump is solving none of the structural issues facing the US - infrastructure, education, lack of manufacturing competitiveness, overburdened finance. With his insane tariffs, he is bifurcating the world into two camps - the high cost and high barrier US-led west and the low cost low barrier China-led global south..."

I should imagine he'll start to back off when the rest of the world has got its knickers completely in a twist and are susceptible once to more to allowing Uncle Sam rule the roost.

or the US seen that Russia has weathered the storm of financial punishment thrown at them for the last three years by being as far as possible a state that can provide for itself internally. Perhaps Trump thinking by on shoring US industrial interests and becoming more self reliant that they too can make itself more secure.

I read too that the US are withdrawing 10,000 troops from Europe. A sign that they are preparing to spend less on military overseas, or at least in the European direction.

 

[it_is_what_it_is]

Russia debt to gdp is one of the lowest in the world, where whatever about the concept of gdp as a meaning, it does matter in certain contexts, and will stay them well going forward, especially regards the resources they have and how the country has been directed of late, especially under the circumstance they are under.

China is not in some great place here regards such, it is 80 odd percent versus the americans 110 odd percent. I see a lot of reach in that article. An issue of many is the chinese are 1.4 odd billion, and as good as certain people have it there, many do not, and this is an issue for them. Life is a numbers game and that's a lot of potential upset people, where the chinese have put out a lot of money to others regards a debt connection/control setup, regards certain countries. The US is saying ye need to come back to our party, cut your connections with them, and I can see many of them willing to cut such financial debts if the chinese can be considered a bad actor by the media/system etc... Not saying it will happen, but I see such as the game.

Regards the military stuff, the fact that they have put out info about the F-47 so early versus previous boondoggles like the F-35, and is more of a specific peace of weaponry regards it's role, is a change of direction. It points to a earnest move by them, and Taiwan is key regards such. Not saying any of such will happen, but upending Taiwan and taking control of the seas in that region is something that is highly likely on the minds of the chinese regards a move, this is core to their actions regards the last number of years. The fact that that article had so much bullet points regards the military aspect is screaming such to me even, regards their mental state on the matter.

This 1.5 percent of gdp versus 2 versus 3 is not relevant outside of context, what is the percent of X if X is 1 or a hundred, where you do not know what in reality such countries actually spend in the end, where even if true, I can see 1.5 percent spent by china as greater then 1.5 percent spent by the US due to the waste and mess that the west is. A difference of many is the americans have been at it far longer then the chinese, and if ye think 3 percent is big, I think ye are not at the races, nor do I even believe that such a small percentage is spent regards the whole by the americans or the chinese regards such versus their overall economy.

Thank you. I have never been apart from a few days in Hong Kong in the 90s.
To me even then that way of life seemed like hell on Earth.
The globalists preferred human is an Asian hybrid - whites are too uppity and demanding of 'rights'.
Your description of that 'hospital' is downright nightmareish.

Basically it says China is a Big Brother haven where you toe the line or else. Great infrastructure for those with a good credit score but don't fall foul of the party line - organ harvesting is commonplace ( there is a great documentary about that and Falun Gong)
Individuals are conditioned to look the other way and only consider the greater picture.
Kinda the Borg meets an anthill and 1984 smashed together. A nightmare.
But we wouldn't stand a snowball's against them.

Brendon OConnell said many years ago that the Chicoms were given the newest techs years ago by our greatest allies - who have backdoors into everything .
And that China is indeed the superpower of the future. Sadly that entire series of broadcasts has disappeared into the ether. I wonder why. At this stage it can't be stopped barring a miracle.

I remember watching this film back a decade https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Looper_(film), where the idea is of hollywood pushing china as the future. Where I know a lot about many a peoples history as I can, where I found their history to be vicious beyond most, where it reminded me of certain native indian tribes in america regards insanity of violence for a different rational, where it was sacrificing people over days as well, Lingchi, the thousand cuts is the chinese variation for control.

As is said in the thread, these are the ultimate ant people, and I do not want them running the world, as much about the Christ killers or the americans, there is something equally inhuman about them I find, especially the Christ killers, they are open about harvesting people of organs as they do not want to give up their own, and regards the chinese it is more a numbers issue. I think there is something fundamentally evil regards such, no society running like that is sound of mind.

Either way, if they succeed, i am glad they are on the other side of the world, where I do not want them near me, nor want to piss off, we are few the Irish, they are not.

 

[it_is_what_it_is]

As an aside that film was a humiliation ritual of sorts, it was a part of many regards a big movie after the last financial collapse on similar terms. The European man sacrifices himself for the single mother, of a child that was left to the wayside, cuckoldry by death in the end. It is funny how much ye can see regards what was pushed regards the Christ killers and why we needed the hays code in place over there. Either way it made us all weaker regards any form of mythos or functional media regards having a stable system, and I hope it upends these fuckers hubris as the boomers die out, where again maybe that was the plan, and they over thought it, and are now not so sure now trying to kick the can down the road. Who knows, we will see.

I do not believe a word from Falun Gong. They are allied to the currents in Western Imperialism which lack any redeeming features and they practice all sorts of mind control themselves. I suspect that this is like the so-called Uigher genocide- I did not jump to any conclusions in part because on a personal level I am not the biggest fan of the Chinese but looked into things in a methodical manner over months and what the People's Republic of China had being saying about it largely stacked up. Now admittedly I have not done real research into the organ harvesting allegations of Falun Gong.

 

[Mad as Fish]

Let us not forget the accusations of organ harvesting leveled at Ukraine in the early months of the war with a certain lady doctor accused of taking organs while the injured were still alive, and thus effectively murdering them.

That went quite all of a sudden, guess it was too much even for the Americans.

On a personal level I find the Chinese creepy, I find them almost impossible to "read" as people and that greatly unnerves me. I also have resentment towards the most prominent Chinese person in Irish political life. However I am sure that a lot of them feel repulsions towards us. Human groups are different and will always as long as this Age lasts be rubbing each other up the wrong way so to speak, "cramping each others styles"- which does not necessarily mean that one group is in the wrong and the other is in the right.

All organ harvesting is carried out on a living body. Even here in the West with 'consent'. They invented the term 'brain death' for this very purpose. A million dollar industry. Which is why it is such a disputed subject.

The thing being, they may well outlast us if we do not get our act together. When I think of that whole area, I think of singapore, where they are wary of the chinese even being chinese, not that others more near their borders are even more worried regards a state.

We have hundred's of years of our language being undermined and lets be real here, this is an english speaking country right now for generations.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AcSH6s_d4OE

One of his biggest issues he talked back on regards mistakes, was not making sure that some form of the chinese language was not promoted first versus the brit/global one as a first language. At the same time we can talk with our European peoples easier, and even with the east, and talking is better then murdering each other. But for a small country we would be better off first as our own, and second as the brit one.

Where his point on the fact that the Europeans are all speaking different languages, is a key thing to the mindset of a people, and why Europe will always have an issue regards uniting. At the same time, I will never dilute my ethnic group to being European/Hwite, that is a trap, where we are of the most unique genetic people on the planet, and a long history of such a people, but again, the language problem has made such an issue regards uniting.

i went to the cheapest hotel with air con i could afford .
this meant paying for a room in a hotel not yet open - and gambling all would be fine -.
the second night i said i will try the hotel restaurant on this 25 story hotel which was in shantytown but the difference was each corrugated sheet-ed Lesotho type decrepit shed had a crystal clean number on it .
if they needed to find you they could in an instant .
i went to the 12th floor as map indicated to find the matri d at the door but the place in darkness --table for 2 she inquired and i stuttered i will come back when you are open --where upon she clicked her fingers and about 2 acres of a restaurant was lit what shocked me were the waitresses standing about each 10 tables in the dark until i appeared.
the whole thing spooked me i felt i should not be there --i deeply regret since chickening out as i could have been the first but the amount of people who had to stand in the dark in such a vast space was a little frightening.
i was depressed looking out on shantytown and it took me 3 days to warm to the Chinese .
some country women would look at me and say something humorous and laugh and walk on --some hard faced women would proposition you openly on the street but they were regular women .
i went to the center of shanghai and looked at the pictures of the japanase bombing which was on civilians randomly to terrify them and the city migrated to the embassy area they were so frightened --they did not possess a single gun between millions .
some body contacted somebody in the west to ask how would you describe this and some cruel bastard had replied "" SHANGHAI GONE TO POT "" and this was put under the photos of huge destruction.
when i went to the markets i met real Chinese and i befriended various families who had contacts in the georgio armani factory and the north face factory .
i got 4 suitcases and paid the extra charges and clothed my family for a few euros .
i met humorous lovely characters full of fun and devilment and had one woman put a blood curdling curse on my palm if i did not turn up the next day to collect what she was to get for me .
i met a man in the airport who had just a hanky as luggage and i said you are traveling light ?? and he replied i am home on this evenings flight and i am collecting 2 sets of clubs --the second set is going to pay for the first and i gathered he was spending 20,000ish .
the Chinese are people with the same hopes and dreams as us but born on a different planet with mad bizarre aliens ruling them --but they can be as much crack as the Irish .
nobody in their half right mind would ever take them on militarily --they will overcome anything non nuclear in a short period of time -when the yanks broke through the Chinese border in north Korea they met the Chinese army and what happened next cannot ever be hidden --the yank soldiers ran so fast it took the generals 3 days to stop them running and they had ran to mid Korea today and that is today where the border between north and south is today THE SPOT THEIR OWN ARMY GOT THEM TO STOP RUNNING.
