You will be amazed at how many people on Twitter that thinks America can starve china and that America will suffer no harm from stop trading with china.
China is #1 in ammonia (fertilizer precursor) production with 48 million tons.

Total global ammonia production is 150 million tons.

50% of human biomass derives from Haber Bosch process ammonia. If China cuts off chemical exports the entire world starves. China is only 18% global population but 30% global ammonia production.

And if you cut China, you also cut Russia. Russia is another 10%. They're playing chicken with humanity's food supply if they think they can cut China.

Lol the only foods China sells to the west is stuff like snacks, mochis, boba tea, instant noodles etc. Not exactly a strategically important industry.
Look up where half the tomatoes that makes pasta source, canned diced tomatoes etc came from, and go from there. China is the largest food producer in the world, 1.5 times of US, and about 3 times what India produces.
China may not export a lot of stable food, it exports more than just bubble tea and remans

That's why the No First Use policy exists despite a lot of people here think it is some form of weakness, it's not, it's a surprise tool that will help us later.

sorry but its a little harder to take ppl serious when they dont even know how the ruling party is spelled. It's like an American saying "I oppose the ICA but I'm proud of being American"
¯\_(ツ)_/ If you’re talking about it in Chinese no one is saying CCP anyways. If you’re talking about it in English CCP is such a standardized term now that no one really cares.

40+ consecutive years of the CCP being far and away the single most competent governing entity in human history isn't enough to warrant your support? Then I don't know what is. Without the the CCP, there would be no New China. That's not just a song, it's a fact.
It's just those holier-than-thou people like Zhangjim who put incredibly stupid and unrealistic expectations on the CCP yet blame them for every single stupid crap that the CCP isn't at fault for or is trying to fix. These people tend to be a detriment to the country and people, not the other way around so anytime I hear or see those people, I immediately label them as idiots.

It just fucks with my mind since from HK in English it's spelled like that and it is the actual name usually used by channels from Russia/East as well. Is CCP an American exclusive spelling?

Guess it's like how some nations spell NATO as OTAN instead. Well, TIL I always thought it was just illiterate people who don't know what the actual leadership in China is called.

I mean it could have started out that way but by now it’s just standard colloquia.
