The Nazi one is tilted and spins the other way usually.

But in common Chinese decorations the symbol spins both ways.

For example the popular pattern 万字不到头 that means eternity of fortune, prosperity and life.

Nazi's adoptation of the symbol is out of idiocy and culture appropriation, western countries' opposition is out of ignorance and Euro-centric, a mild racism. I think people especially Asians should defend our right to it because it has been part of our culture for more than 5000 years. We should be sensitive to westerner's feeling but not follow their repeated ignorance, tell them what it is and get used to it.

I've recently watched an American podcast where they were interviewing an ex-US marine. That veteran was calling Russia a paper tiger, but said that China is the real deal. He is afraid that if the US and China were to go to war, the US would be in real trouble. So his solution for victory is to fight dirty. He was referring to the US's experience in Afghanistan where he complained that the Talibans were fighting dirty, but the US soldiers can't because their superiors ordered them to behave. He said that because US soldiers had their hands tied, the enemy has an advantage and doesn't fear them enough. He prefers US soldiers to show such brutality, that the enemy won't mess with them next time. He believes that if the US fights dirty and brutal enough with China, they can beat them down to submission.

Well Mr. ex-US Marine, when you invade another country, the enemy has every right to eject you out of their lands using whatever methods possible. When they fight dirty, they are hurting enemy combatants. But when you're fighting dirty you're also brutalizing their civilians. Let's not forget that before you soldiers start walking onto their lands, your airforce and navy have already leveled buildings and murdered families in their homes. Which you guys undercount anyway and give them soft labels like "collateral damage". How can you blame the enemy for fighting dirty after your forces have their families and friends murdered.

Let me also remind you Mr ex-US Marine, that as the invader, brutality and fighting dirty doesn't pay. Look at what you did in Vietnam. Yet, your forces broke down first, not the enemy. Look at what the Nazis did in Poland and the Soviet Union. Yet they were defeated. Look at what the Japanese had done to China. The Japanese didn't win too. If you dare to attack China and brutalize the Chinese, we will never back down. We will fight you even harder. Yes, we might lose a lot of people, but we will never allow you to beat us to submission. The brutal Axis militaries have all been thrown into the dustbins of history, and you will join them too if wanna become like them.

This is the reason I advocate that the end game of such a war must be the confiscation of the lands of the Five Eyes. As the theme of “Battle of Lake Changjin” went, better to fight this war now than to let our children fight it.

These folks such as this ex marine, pottinger, Navarro Thiel etc want a war with China because they want to maintain a racist white supremacist world order, I wonder if they will still feel this way when they have to hold their own headless babies as the Palestinians do.

Linde is German. Why is he listing non-US companies?

because the US really exists as a pan white caucasoid empire with Anglo five eyes at the top of the apartheid system and non Anglo caucasians just below them. They call this the “golden billion”.

Even if you assume the U.S. economy grows at 1.5% and China grows at 5% into perpetuity, there are 2-3 decades where the U.S. economy is at least 70% of China’s size. If this “dying” involves in the best Chinese case, waiting an entire working career for maybe, one day, seeing the relative U.S. power position ambiguously drop, that’s gotta be worth something, I guess (?)

China's economy is already 20-25% bigger than America's in PPP terms now, and its manufacturing capacity is as great as the US, EU, and Japan combined. I'm not even talking about the boost to China's economy with RMB/CNY appreciation.

The Economist's take on China's economy is often completely wrong.
