He serious believes that the USA can sabotage and commit all these back door actions and expect them to work, especially after all the things that have happened to the USA right now. Guess nothing will convince him that the USA is on the way down.
First, China has a (growing) nuclear deterrence that actually works. Second, even if Chinese conventional weapons can't reach Continental US, Beijing could resort to hostage diplomacy akin the North Korea, meaning destroying the economies Taiwan, Japan, Vietnam, and other US allies/partners through a combination of military and non-military activities. Third, Beijing could proliferate its WMD technologies to Iran and other adversaries (state and non-state actors) of the US. For example, DNI Avril Hanes has already stated that should US declare strategic clarity pertaining to the Taiwan issues, Beijing would most likely actively undermine US interests elsewhere around the world. As a result, if really pushed to a corner, while Beijing would most likely no strike Continental US (unless a nuclear exchange were to occur), the CCP has plenty of resources to act as a party crasher ruining the good times of American allies. For example, it could resort to the late 1950s and early 1960s export of revolution against perceived "white colonialists," except on a much bigger scale this time. In fact, if some diplomatic channel still exist, you can't even rule out the possibility of the MSS funneling money, light weapons, and fake news to drug/family-based gangs, radical liberal groups like a violent version of Antifa, etc. in the States and Mexico to exacerbate political polarization in the US. Just look at what Russia did in 2016. Keep in mind that while the CCP can crackdown on free speech and foreign financial links (look and Ant and Didi) without due process, it is much harder for the US Government to do that in the States. In fact, the Fed is even struggling to ban WeChat because of the legal system in the States, despite the fact there are plenty of pro-Xi and anti-US chat groups among WeChat users registered is North America.

Only sentence that matters
So China loses more trade than the US? WIN!
LOL. Democrats just don't like risk.
Only sabotaging China's foreign trade. Sounds great.
LOL, the WeChat ban just got enjoined in court but it's definitely survivable. The next admin can just ignore the court cuz nobody cares about rule of law in the United States vis-a-vis China
Lol man, at this point you're not contributing anything to the debate because the stuff you said isn't based on anything solid evidence of data other than U.S. #1 the best there was, and the best that ever will be rah rah. You're just trolling at this point Jai Hind.
He is a troll. Check out the Semiconductor thread. He managed to derail it for a couple of pages and he keeps going. We will have to wait for the mods to clean this
Then American sought to excise that "Vietnam Syndrome" along with their embarrassing failed special force rescue mission called operation Eagle Claw under Pres. Carter during the IRAN revolution by invading successive small ass countries like Grenada, and then Panama under the rah rah pro-America Presidency of the Ole Gipper a.k.a. Pres. Reagan. The U.S. finally repudiated it's Vietnam failure through the successful military operation in the Persian Gulf War under Pres.Bush against the Iraqi invasion/incursion of Kuwait.
Bannon and Navarro believed that, they started the trade war, look how beautifully it works.
and w Bush, emboldened by the "victory", started two more.
What are they going to say to a dysfunctional US Gov. Do these people think that Vietnam and other countries dont know that in the midterms the Democrats may lose their slim majority in Congress?
And then another period of fierce infighting will happen. Impeachment hearings, committees trying to find scandals etc
Why should Vietnam and Singapore stick their heads out for the US when next year the US will be distracted by internal infighting
