Monarch itself is not bad or good. Democracy itself is not bad or good either. Communism itself is not bad or good either. It all depends on how the leaders do their jobs. Polygamy is not bad either. You have wealth and you can persuave women to marry you and you can provide them for life. Same for women, they can marry multiple husband too if they can persuave your husbands to share. It's just the way of biology make it much harder for women to have multiple husbands.
That still exist in China with certain ethnic groups. Tibetans and more famously Mosuo with their walking marraiges culture aka the it is socially acceptable for women to cuck their husbands.

Absolutely NO to any royalty of any sort-unearned rich,spoiled,weak,decadent, and ultimately selfish and traitorous.As for the Japanese man-can't say except these Japanese women have rather low standards and these lazy Japanese otakus worm-boys had better smarten up,exercise,get working on a job and get the courage to actually ask one of these pretty Japanese girls out on a real date.

The US trying to glean information from what China is planning that it doesn't need to disclose to the US.

They have very good insight into the progress of China's space program, there's a little known department inside the Pentagon that briefs NASA on the space capabilities of adversaries (they knew a lot about Soviet's N1-L3 architecture for example). At this point they don't doubt China can do the mission by 2028-2030:

The "discussions" Nelson is referring to is what happens next after both nations establish basecamps there. The lunar south pole is not a big place and there are few safe landing spots and 'places of interest'. I heard on a podcast with US space officials a few years ago that if both nations arrive at the same time (China a year or two before US or vice versa) then there will have to be serious negotiations. But if one side does it first and the other side experiences significant delays that would be a real problem due to first mover advantage. So make no mistake there is a race right now. It's really about what capabilities can be reliably delivered at this point.

Look at actions not words.

Comparing the damage to NATO economies vis a vis to China's, it's clear who is still in the driver's seat and who can afford to keep disrupting the other without taking personal losses.

China's fighting path is to hollow out the US as much as possible while increasing the economical and tech gap between the 2 countries. 2 years into Ukraine and US wasn't able to make their own replacements for DJI, or pump out replacement levels of AD missiles. NGAD returned to drawing board while J-XY moving ahead by all accounts.

Most certainly if China is hostile all the time and refuses to work with US on anything, US would have been forced to improve. The key to a succesful sanctions regime/economic war against a near peer economy is to leave them paths of least resistance, trying to cut off everything and act hostile all the time only leads them to developing their own tech and industry. Even in small economies like Iran. Boiling frogs.

Realistically, China should keep widening the gap until the day the west isn't profitable anymore. Then it can use it's overwhelming forces to reopen the west's gates for continued profit.

Disingenuous argument as China has proportionally much less expats that other developed countries. Also I'm not seeing the benefits China has "bend over backwards" to give in the EU or on mainland USA. You'd have assumed if these entities had the blessing of the world's largest economy, they wouldn't have runaway inflation.
Is that why EU is eager to start a trade war with China right now? Meanwhile, the retaliation is merely on brandy. EU can be made to bleed but it seems that the CPC is unwilling to commit to a meaningful response to deter future stupidity.

Not to mention, low internal spending indicates low confidence in China's market from Chinese people. Not everything is sunshine and rainbows in China either.

Because their leaders are suicidal US cucks. They made an even bigger blunder before by sanctioning Russian energy and siding with Ukraine in the Ukraine War. These are not reasonable or smart people.

Meanwhile, the retaliation is merely on brandy. EU can be made to bleed but it seems that the CPC is unwilling to commit to a meaningful response to deter future stupidity.
Because the CPC knows that EU tariffs on Chinese EVs will hurt the EU much more than China in the longer term. EU automotive companies will become less competitive in EV and it'll only drive the price of EVs higher for the EU consumer.

Setting a tariff on brandy was meant mostly as symbolic retaliation. To show China's displeasure, but also limit unnecessary escalation of the trade war. As Napoleon once said: "Don't interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake".

Not to mention, low internal spending indicates low confidence in China'a market from Chinese people. Not everything is sunshine and rainbows in China either.
Low confidence in the Chinese market by the Chinese people? Based on what data? Bloomberg, SCMP, BBC, or Peter Z? If you're still believing their crap without question, then you're not fit to judge China.

China has the largest GDP by PPP in the world. Money goes much further there than in places like the US and the EU. Just because consumer spending is not as sky high as in the inflation-ridden West doesn't mean that consumer confidence is low. Chinese products are sold much cheaper in China than overseas. Chinese citizens get to enjoy better standards of living while paying less. So the Chinese economy, despite it's problems, is still in a much better place than the EU economy. If you think that the CPC sucks for not doing better, then ask yourself, how well does your local leaders compare to them? Are they doing a wonderful job with your economy?

You have a pattern of shitting on China for supposedly not screwing the West or Israel enough to your liking. Have you been to China? Do you even understand how the Chinese government and society works? Why do you put such immature expectations on China?
