How many things have the west done that actually aged well in the long run? Seems everything they do only looks good on newspapers for a week at most and then after that people forget about it. The you revisit it a few months later and realized it flopped but by then no one cares.

Sounds like an agreement as hollow as the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact. We all know how well that went. Vietnam built the most island bases in the SCS. It routinely clashes with other SCS claimants including the PH. The PH Coastguard was responsible for killing a number of Vietnamese fishermen in the last decade.
This "pact" appears to be more like a non-aggression agreement than an alliance. Both side want to put their clashes on hold while they focus on China. PH wants this much more than Vietnam. But if the PH provokes a hot conflict with China, I don't expect the Vietnamese, to come to their aid. They have way too much to lose helping the PH, and they are not as stupid as the PH.

If that is true, the US government must love screwing itself and helping China out grow the US at every metric because that's what's happening and that's what the terms allow to happen.
Sanctions on Vietnam are "irreparable" harm? LOLOL What do you call spraying Napalm/Agen Orange all over them? We've fought wars with them; we've taken territory from them. Nothing is irreparable as long as there is power.
Secondly, China focuses on self-growth, while the US tries to harm others while inadverdently harming itself. That's been the pattern all along. Those who can achieve victory on their own strength never bother to resort to sabotage of others. And this will continue with the US boxing itself in, losing critical oppertunities trying to harm China while China expands into other markets and develops technology that makes American tech obsolete.
Couple decades
And in this time, China has grown much more, both economically and technologically. The US started the trade war to reverse this trend but it accelerated it instead.
LOLOL All your elections are about how to handle China! We don't even think about America; turn on Chinese news and nobody talks about you. We just find new trade partners and develop better tech. You think you're on the top of our minds because we're on top of yours but unlike the US, China has way too many oppertunities to be concerned about other people and their hateful loser energy.
It's been doing a shit job if it wanted the US to stay on top of the world... either that or it has lost control.
Empires are measured in the centuries, oh one with the small mind. Just because the US is barely able to get to 1 doesn't mean we suddenly start measuring in "working careers." LOL Once the US loses overall power to China, everything crumbles fast because the US has very little internal power but relies on parasiting on others. When it can no longer do so because they align with China, the American vampire shrivels up at record pace.

1. That's not true; China has many firms, often state-backed but not always (like Huawei) that can challenge and oftentimes exceed any American offering.
2. Even in the past when that was true, China still developed itself faster economically and technologically than the US with all its megacorps. The power only further tilts in China's favor.
Revenue is not important. Technological innovation is important; revenue can be made by anyone ready to cash out and go home. New tech controls the future and China always moves faster there.
LOL No. Accumulated advantages is basically another way of saying resting on one's laurels. Only faster innovation is enduring; old advantages are there to be run over by new tech.
No date as long as the US manages its decline with self-preservation and humility. The UK did so; learn from them. Don't learn from the dead empires in history that fought against a superior enemy to the bitter end.
All useless flailing because the US is out of any effective ways to stymie China's innovative pace. The only impactful actions in all the exchanges here is China expanding its de facto territory in the SCS. No one does these worthless annoying American things if they could do meaningful things like China building islands, turning them into military bases, creating the tech of the future and indiginizing tech that used to be foreign dominated. In comparison, America's sailing around in circles or flying old ladies to disputed territories to do absolutely nothing are truly the desperate actions of a waning empire.
By the way, can your politicians even do a ban right? Look at China. Facebook: Banned. Yahoo: Banned. Google: Banned. US, Tiktok... been talking about a ban for years and I'm still getting hit by videos of American idiot culture on it! Do your retard politicians even know how to ban an app??

From what I read on reddit because the impact is not simply "warming weather" anymore but sometimes also prolonged winter or other climates aberration. So climate crisis is more apt.
You really shouldn't make claims that are easily falsifiable.
Intel is about half of Huawei by revenue.
54 billion USD revenue
99 billion USD revenue
Even Boeing + Intel have revenue comparable to Huawei alone.
But why did you compare Boeing, a conglomerate with both civil and military business, to COMAC, a subsidiary focused on the civil business? Why not compare to the parent company AVIC? That's intellectually dishonest to compare a whole to a part.
67 billion USD revenue
77 billion USD revenue
So Huawei + AVIC > Intel + Boeing. Get factually corrected.
Naming companies doesn't mean much. But it doesn't help if you're wrong and intellectually dishonest.

Might as well compare China Railway and Amtrak
Damn this image goes hard. HKers don't know how good they got it.
This is why the best form of soft power is being seen as a winner.
