At the same time, rationalisation is still a significant part of the decisionmaking process, regardless of the underlying reasons one might have for a decision. In order to garner support for a policy the ability to spin a popular narrative is important, especially if there are a number of people who actually believe in such rationals or moralisations. Buy in from one's voter base or even opposition party or parties are an integral part in ensuring the continuation of a policy. While no doubt hegemony is one of, if not the largest parts of the current hostility towards China by the US, rationals and narratives that are spun for it still make up a significant part because they are a driver of support for such policies.

That is not that bad here in Europe. But still, you shouldn't take Westerners you just met at their face value. As far as I see most immigrants from outside of the West never get this. The facade of friendliness is the default here, unlike in Asia. A smiling face or, in the US case, small talks never mean that the person in front of you is not hostile to you.
As far as I see, the biggest red flag immigrants almost always miss is the refusal to clear misunderstandings. Like how a lot of Americans think all Chinese food is greasy or there is a war in Turkey, etc... If someone has such a generalizing bad opinion and that opinion doesn't change regardless of what you say, that person is hostile to you. That "We don't care about correcting our misunderstandings" is how modern Western passive-aggression works. Americans practice it a lot more. Most immigrants mistake it for innocent ignorance but it isn't. People who were born or grew up in the West have an instinctual understanding of how this works thus you have woke politics. This is why progressives obsess over tiny nuances. Unfortunately, all of this is also why you see immigrants from "third world" voting for Republicans in the USA. They take them at face value and they think progressives are dumb.
The US still does it. The most recent examples would be the CHIPS act and the Inflation Reduction Act. Pentagon also routinely subsidizes various industries. The Silicon Valley came into existence pretty much because of US military investment in electronics,
Apparently some customers of Wells Fargo were having trouble withdrawing and transferring money and it could be from Wells Fargo doing a 'bail in' ie using customer deposits just to make payments.
Taiwan is China's by rights, what right does the US have to give something that originally belonged to China? Better for the US to give up Hawaii, Alaska and the continent of Australia (notice how i discounted the australian government, incorporated in new york?).
i did some...uh, research into that site and it's apparently a kink fetish in the very Anglo culture of the UK, where Anglos can PAY to get their dicks milked. This is an actual facility, an actual business that is patronised by the Anglos. I wouldn't kink shame anyone but given the highly sexually repressed shame culture of the Anglos, they ought to be humiliated and shamed.
They put it into their propaganda against China!!
Narcissism much?
Re SVB, did you know the fair and objective Free Press of the Anglosphere rated SVB as one fo the world's best banks?

I guess that confirms what most of us suspected.
Somebody has to search for it....
And 100% some sus website is advertising "Weeghür ZZZP male milking/ force impreg" stuff......
Panic in the air... Hedge fund billionaire tells Fed to bailout within 48 hours or predicts US economy will face destruction lol
Would this SVB collapse eventually result in the Great Financial Crisis 2.0? What do you guys think?
I sincerely hope it will lead to the full realisation of the great rejuvenation of the chinese nation and 中国梦。
Consider that on the same day two US banks both failed within 48 hours of each other, of which at least one is the 2nd biggest fail in 40 years, and the greatest collapse of a bank since the Great Recession... coinciding with the China peace deal between Iran and Saudia Arabia... I would say the writing is on the wall.... Xi name dropped the US just days ago, this on the backs of the unprecedented publication of "US Hegemony and its Perils" whitepaper removes all doubt that China will come to US aid this time to prop them up or bail them out...
So its either hyperinflation or insanse interest rates... No way out this time... and you cant have a Petrodollar hegemony when you no longer control the petro/OPEC...
SVB is just merely the first to flop... but the underlining issue is structural and systemic...
This is gonna end up being ten times worse thab 2008, and thats a best case scenario.
