This has "China will never militarily intervene" energy all over it.
Redditards have a meme: "China warns", meaning China is all talk.
Yeah, China warns... until it doesn't.
Micron Chinese market share is being turned into charcoal as we type.
I'm really starting to get annoyed with all those muh birthrate doomer videos on Korea and Japan. One came up in my YouTube feed. I'm beginning to think it's a western psyop.
I watched that video on how it said south Korea was doomed and I expected to see a lot of details but in the end it's just muh birth rate crap.
Don't get me wrong, low birth rates are a bad thing. But it's pretty much a global problem when even India has below replacement rate.
What I expected the video to include was stuff like how China took Korea's lunch yet little was mentioned. The amount is not exaggerated. According to the data provided by AI, China has eaten into industries related to shipbuilding, steel, electronics, cars and even semiconductors. Per the semiconductor thread, Samsung electronics is actually in trouble which I didn't think was possible. It's a significant amount too which cannot be ignored. Yet it was not mentioned.
When I only hear birthrates and not stuff from above, I begin to wonder about the honesty of it all. Same for Japan except it's even worse coz America neutered them with plaza accords and crushed their semiconductor industry yet they didn't mention it much and just blame birth rates.
When the west puts so much attention on Japan/Korea having low birthrates while not saying much on how they themselces had low birthrates for decades, I get suspicious. Also you have to wonder if this stuff will even work like they said since we know Ireland had a population collapse and France had a below replacement rate in the 19 century for quite a while. Yet those places are still alive to annoy us.
Again birth rates are a problem. But I feel there is a ulterior motive when they say put all your attention on them and not all the other stuff. Even with the birthrate stuff they don't mention much stuff like how many people can't even get stable well paying jobs or a house first before even considering settling down for kids. Is it because this will expose a much bigger problemvm that hits the nerves of a lot more people? From the big short movie they quoted an older studying saying every 1% increase in unemployment in the US leads to around 40,000 more deatha stemming from related factors. Maybe it's not THAT bad today but I'm pretty sure it has a rather nasty impact.

You would think that people learn when the same thing happens multiple times in a row but apparently not. Until then, China will continue to achieve strategic surprise by loudly declaring exactly what it will do.
Speaking of economy and jobs, here what happened today. There's probably gonna be a more layoffs and hiring freezes.
Seems India's IT sector is getting some collateral damage
It’s just projection. Research why conservatives started banning abortions and what demographic of women usually get abortions and you’ll know why.
China doesn't warn US that often. It usually simply punches. The economic/diplomatic losses US got fighting China is possibly the single largest damage from sanctions alone without military conflict in history.
US went from the largest market in the world to struggling to afford groceries and surpassed in size by China. It went from the world no1 IT scene to indefinite hiring hiatus and massive stock market losses. Remember also that US' stock market serves to US as their only retirement fund as well. Americans felt the pain during Trump 1.0 and elected Biden on the promises of economic reform, only to elect Trump 2.0 because the economy remained equally bad. And now the economy continues to spiral down.
It's just that redditors in true Ah q fashion has learned to ignore reality:
"It is ok that the guy I provoked at the bar is just kicking my ribs in, AS LONG as he's not stomping on my head, he is still doing nothing, he is no danger to me and I'm walking away from this confrontation as the tougher guy, because the other guy didn't dare to retaliate!"
