I’ve been wondering if LY-1 can be used to melt delicate equipment like shipborne radar and communications antennas. They are usually the only expensive things on the ships, and it’s a good way to drain their naval budget without killing or maiming anyone.
If PH wants to play that game, China can easily make its boat ends more suited for ramming purposes. Lets see which one comes out on top.
I just don't want PH to cry victim afterwards. I notice that seems to be a trend with many countries like Lithuania and India.
It is absolutely true.
Run into people inside an elevator in Toronto, sometimes the brown person will ask, you Chinese?
Of course, then they say they are from Pakistan, or Bangladesh, or even Sir Lanka. Say hello, then the next thing you know, they be telling you how bad India is.
Everyone hates India, especially the brown people. Nepal should be no different.
What a joke!
Jai America intellectuals! Jai America China watchers!
Read those freaking financial statements!
Watch more football! The Raid-duhs!

This guy gave out good facts but that's only a part of how you win arguments against Westerners. You have to embarrass them. You have make them look dumb. You have to make them feel like a loser. You have to make them a hypocrite of what they accuse to convey that whatever punishment they have in mind for you if China doesn't comply... they deserve as well. That's how you make them think twice before they bother. This Ronnie Chan didn't change their minds. They're going to ignore it and continue on believing the same things... arguing the same things the next time.
Chinese don't want to cross those lines because it's important to convince the other side to see how they see it. The problem with that is Chinese are telling them they're important enough to need to be convinced. I see a lot of Chinese who think if racists just got to know the Chinese, then they'll like them. That only makes them feel important because they don't bother to do that with you because they don't think you're worth anything. That's what's wrong with in general how minorities deal with whites who are in power. Their goal is trying to convince racists that everyone can live in peace together. That says you need them but they don't need you. Why do you think white racists think they're superior? Look at how everyone finds it important to live with white people. And their power comes from denying it to you. They're not going to give you what you want when they know they can get everything they want from you making you think it's possible.
What the West is worried about seeing China's rise? They're afraid China is going to leave them behind because of China's drive to be independent from them. The Chinese don't need them and that might make others see that too. That's what they were trying to do against China. Why do you think they were taunting about cancelling and decoupling with China? They wanted Chinese to be in panic that they were going to be left behind and the West and rest of the world would go on without China. That's how I know that works with them. You know how ignorant people get to know what others are thinking? They look at themselves to understand how other people will react. That's the irony of Westerners and their xenophobia. They want to divide people against those who are different from them but yet the only way they know how others think are by looking at themselves. All their fears of what others will do is because that's what they would do.
You want to humble the West? Treat them as not important as much as they do to you. Look at how the West was alarmed at seeing Xi, Putin, Kim Jong Un and others together at China's Victory Day parade. They coped with derision of the gathering but they more importantly feared a group they had no say, no power, no influence because they weren't involved. Look at how Biden and then Trump panicked just from China ghosting them. Is that a crime? It is for a people who think of themselves as so important to everyone.

You win the west by forcing them to acknowledge you. That only happens when you win. The reason the west has to acknowledge China's development etc is because they have no choice. They have ran out of excuses or goal posts to move that.
So they should focus less on trying to convince them and more on winning. Despite what he says, Trump respects China coz he knows ultimately they are strong in what actually matters. He doesn't respect Europe or India for example coz they can talk but not walk.
US infrastructure was constructed for much higher standard of living. Just look at suburbia. US problem is not taking care of it which is a choice. These Saudi cities are essentially built by US and the rest of Gulf Kingdoms follow that system and this the most successful wealth accumulation system.
Soviet devoted much larger manpower to its military industry and that lost opportunity cost was when they built apartments not fit for large families and due to lack of personal transportation that too much collectivism developed has its own downside. Putin used a nuclear physicist to ask a dumb question to show that Russian are simple. the degradation is so deep that Putin uses Islamist in every thing and still not enough.
