All these weebs and Anglo imperialists who thought starting a war with China would cement Anglo American hegemony for the 21st century should really sue Tom Clancy and Gordon Chang for writing fanfic and attempting to pass it off as Serious Business. Like no kidding, Tom Clancy never served yet behaves like he’s a veteran.

Re chinas new move on rare earths, I take it that any entity or country that wants to be smart and shunt rare earths to the Anglo American war machine, will have its licence canceled and presumably never be able to source rare earths from China again? You have to really make it stick, chances are the Americans are offering hefty premiums for rare earths that even unscrupulous Chinese looking to make a quick buck or two might be tempted.
There might be a brief window in the chaos for counterfeit shipments

Peter Zeihan is truly a man of peace. He declares that China will be gone in 10 years. China is a basket case. His message is that America must figure out a way to move on without China. So, there shall be no need to threaten China with war. China is going away anyways. Don't waste your precious money and lives on China.

Zeihan's theory must reach to Trump and his war cabinet. It'll save Murica so much blood and treasure to pull out of the Asia Pacific. Don't worry. China will collapse on its own. Better to spend all that blood and treasure fighting the terrorists and other bad guys at home. China would definitely welcome this.

China is more than happy to collapse alone without America threatening war on it. China is happy to collapse into an economy that is bigger than the US. China is happy to collapse into peaceful reunification with Taiwan. China is very happy to collapse into a world leader in technology and innovation. The moon awaits spacemen from a collapsing China. In short, China should be quite happy to be part of the Peter Zeihan collapse theory.
Agent Chang - now is your time to overcome your personal rivalry and work together for the common good

Plus the rest of the world sees them for who they really are. The biggest grifters on planet earth and if the Taiwan war breaks out International Law would 100% be on China's side due to International Law stating Taiwan is a part of China and they're still at war with each other.

The only possible demand from China for a big move like this is complete removal of all export control on Chip equipment including EUV. Nothing else compares. This is the equivalent of the US chip export controls in size and sweeping nature.
This would have been true several years ago, but at this point in time there is basically nothing the US could realistically offer to put on the table

Rahul Gandhi giving an interview in Columbia.

Funny enough, he does have an interesting point about how industries and great powers evolve. He said that Great British was number one when it was the driver of the steam revolution. America is number one when it was the driver of the combustion engine revolution. Today, China is the driver of the electric motor and batteries revolution.

What Rahul Gandhi is dead wrong is that he is way too optimistic for India and he sees China as an authoritarian nemesis. He wants India to gang up with the West and compete against China in manufacturing. He doesn't want to learn from China, citing that India and the West must figure out a "democratic" way of industrial policy, not China's"authoritarian model. That kind of ideological statement is gonna doom India's industrial dreams. When China was growing, it had worked closely, and learned from the industrial leaders in the West and Japan. China is now the no. 1 industrial power on earth. If India continues to be China's enemy, then India is likely to go the way of the Soviet Union. So Rahul Gandhi is not gonna bring India forwards too.

Rahul Gandhi is proud that India is a very diverse nation with no common language, held together by "democracy". He says that China is only united because it had suppressed diversity. All I can say is that he should be careful about saying that. First of all, it's is a great myth that China crushes diversity. Second, a nation like India, so diverse, yet only held together by administration is actually very vulnerable to fragmentation.

The moment India gets incompetent and divisive leadership like Modi and his BJP, that's when the fragmentation becomes more active. Without foreign agitation, the fragmentation will take some time. But if India does something really stupid like provoking conflict with bigger powers, then the fragmentation could accelerate. Today, people in the North East, Khalistan, South Tibet, Ladakh, and South India are making noises for increased self-determination. Reality is not looking very rosy for India. And Rahul Gandhi and the Congress are not India's answer to move forward.

Seems there was an incident recently, some canadian news crew joined monitoring a NK ship in East China Sea, seem entered Cn mainland's air def identification zone(?), and allegedly intercepted by CN jets.

The patch logo at the last part kinda look similar to the imp. japan flag..
The Chinese J-16s made sure to show them their load out of PL-10 and PL-15 missiles. The message is simple. Try anything stupid, and maybe one of these could go straight up your ass.

That's why I prefer Modi to be in charge no matter how annoying he and his supporters are.

Regardless of party, Indian leadership are snakes. Congress is just the quite one. But Nehru was just as arrogant and aggressive.

The difference is Modi at least is openly admitting he's an arrogant snake.
