Why China will prevail over the US in this crazy world of Trump 2.0

[Harrisfan]

Why is the world crazy? Feb 25 same as Feb 15 apart from higher prices and being 10 years older. I see no difference.

You're funny. Anyone who doesn't share your viewpoint is the enemy, right? Half the population of your fellow Americans are your enemy? That's the definition of un American. It doesn't matter which "side" you're on. It was called the UNITED states for a reason. Why don't you go back where you can get up every day and lick his and Musk's bυtt ϲrɑϲk morning noon and night? Yummy! You realize you're in Thailand where nobody gives a FIying ƒv(ϲk what you think, right? Nobody. Talk to the hand.

You're 10 years old? That explains a lot. The world may become easier to understand once you get your big boy pants

Please quote any phrase from the article that shows hate. After all, you're the expert, your people are full of it from the soles of your feet to the top of your hair.

You care a lot. You just abused a stranger.

Trump is going to fold on China. Is he now working a deal that will remove US naval forces from around China in return for a reduction in Chinese "coast guard" activity in the SCS? If he does, that means the Philippines will be lost to China accommodationists. Does he want to run up the white flag everywhere?

It looks like that, he's not smart, he's quite weak and he's a terrible negotiator, so the best thing that his administration can do would be to make sure he's never involved in any negotiations ever.

Why is he weak? Survived 12 months of hell from DJ and 10 years of hell from msm. That makes him tougher than any internet socialist.

Wait, didn't someone beat him in 2020? Trump  didn't win on the merits, everyone knows he beat a feeble old man who was virtually incoherent in the debate, Kamala just came in too late to turn things around. The democratic party handed it to him. Doesn't matter, he's only got 4 years, then everything he does will be undone.  I don't even care, you can say what you want, I'm neutral, I came to Thailand and I'm 8,000 miles away from that dumpster fire, and that's the way I like it. Luckily, I don't run into people like you anywhere. Wonder why?

If neutral you would not need to quote me 5 times. Once is enough.

Social media influencer and internet personality  or "geopolitical analyst?"

 

Looks like spidermike puts more faith in the latter.

Trump hater. Trump is tougher and smarter than Biden. Biden's IQ would be below average. Why Bill Clinton was ahead of him in the pecking order. Joe was too dumb.

The problem is that going on past experience from memoirs etc  from his past administration he takes NO notice of their advice. Hence the high firing/turnover ate of that first term!

How many non-Chinese realize that property developers in China typically demand partial, or in some cases, full payment, before construction even begins on your new home.  And if the developer goes belly up, forget it.  It's even a worse country than many thought.

They may own their own homes, but not the land they sit on with the government often demolishing homes for pet projects.  There have been numerous complaints of these demolitions taking place with very little warning and more complaints of ridiculous compensation and resettlements in substandard structures.

Really? I guess that explains why there are so many homeless people living on the streets in China. It really is a worse country than many thought… lol.

While I do agree with some of those points, personally I think the US is in a lot of trouble on a lot of levels, most of which is simply not acknowledged by relatively simple minded, propagandist chest pounders like Trump. 

 

I find it interesting how so many people said world leaders don't take Trump seriously, which is clearly being shown to be so wrong. No US president has so quickly got major things done in such a short time, trust you can see that.

As far as US in a lot of trouble on many fronts, Trump is addressing many of those things quickly though I don't necessarily agree with all his methodology nor some of his policies. But he is taking an axe to the sheer waste in bureaucracy, legal overreach, absurd regulations especially for business, falling education standards, lousy health generally and the sickening trend of the Left towards the Western civilization, reinforced in the universities and naive arts community. China hasn't been impeded by these, even though it is the Left that so many people in the West now aspire to, kinda crazy uh.

Meanwhile China has its own significant problems, despite not having the above US challenges - population in decline and ageing is huge, as is their internal economy while exports will get chiseled away by Asian tigers and India. Let's also see how their Climate Change industries fare in the next few years.

In my view Democracy, with all its warts, is the biggest differential as so much better than Authoritarianism, not just for personal freedom but ultimately creativity and efficiency. Folk worrying about Nazi Trump are deluded, he's simply doing what needs to be done, even if it often seems ham-fisted - which most of the bewildered media remind us hourly. Let's see how it evolves.

Mennwhike it becomes more apparent by the day, that Trump and Musk have a Bush Jr. /Dick Cheney type relationship. Musk appears to have bought a proxy presidency. Anyone in doubt should watch this video, where not only does Musk command the meeting with Trump holding his head down on his chest in submission, but Musk's 4-year-old son tells Trump exactly how things are. 

 

The four year old tells Trump to go away. You are not the president. LOL. great stuff. Musk is running the country. https://youtu.be/J6j-hncT4OE?si=UNVgTp_uli1WqhVi

Still better than Biden or Kamala running the country.

The reality is Musk's kid is probably a more competent President than Biden ever was.

I do admit they were two absolutely atrocious choices, Trump or Harris. As a Democrat I do understand why a lot of people selected Trump, but that does not mean I like him one iota, and that does not mean I have a nanogram of respect for the man.

Biden was 10 times worse and has left a disastrous heritage of wars and belligerence all over. No to mention the hateful sanctions against Russia that have plunged the prosperity in mainland Europe. Fyi, europeans in majority support Trump and were just fed up with the tricks and politics of Biden.

The best thing about Biden is, that he is NOT tRump!!!

These people are Marxist Democrats.  China has a hell of a lot of people they need to keep employed.  77 million people voted for Trump.
