Apparently, you can’t retaliate if it is bad for the US.

I'm having a hard time keeping up with all the winning, luckily the white house has a website to track all the recent winnings.

There was supposed to be a plan for an alternate canal funded/built by China in South America. Has there been much progress on that?

This sort of project only makes sense in a rules-based international order, which the US-led order is increasingly not (if it ever was).

What China should be investing in, if it wants to ensure open water ways, is a blue water navy capable of intervening, where necessary, to force open trade routes.

It could also decide not to do that and just focus on itself (esp. its demographics), which in my mind is the better play because it avoids the hegemonic trap the US finds itself in. China, contrary to the US, is located in the Eurasian continent. Eurasia is the center of the global economy and China probably does not need to trade with the American continent at all, if it came down to it.

Let India and the US appoint their own Dalai Lama.

He is going to reincarnate as a white guy in India isn't he? They will make a movie out of it: "The last Dalai Lama: Gweilo redux" starring Tom Cruise.

Panama canal dont have much utility to China really, South American east coast trade can just go south which only add a couple of days, North American trade can dock at west coast with Peru as hub, and Americans can pay for land segment.

Its more in China's interest to blow up the Panama canal TBH

You guys are so ridiculous. Any sane person knows that Guaido is the next Dalai Lama.

For the coming Christmas, my only wish for Santa, in addition to another 26/12 event, I also want a few more billionaires reeducated.

Lets make it a tradition, every year 10 lucky billionaires should be allowed to find enlightenment in XJP Thought texts. Exceptions made for Huawei, DeepSeek and other hard-tech companies
