Only the West thinks this is a great deal. China has to pay more instead of getting to pay less. What does China get? They ask for China to do a lot of stuff but you never hear what China is going to get from doing what they want? Maybe they'll like China afterwards... Maybe they think China is not suppose to get anything like how the West expects China not to retaliate after they slap sanctions on China because China is one that's suppose to understand that it's been bad and deserves punishment. The fact is you can't trust the West on anything. They talk about the rule of law but that's what they expect from everyone else while they don't have to follow it. Look at how Trump think he gets to choose another country's leader. That's not democracy. Of course because they have to install Western-type institutions that favor their interests over anyone else's even their own people before a country under their control can have a democracy.

It just hit me: When China doesn't directly step in for Venezuela or Iran, countries where it has no formal defense treaties, the westoids call it 'abandonment' of friends.

But what do you call it when the US effectively abandons the entire GCC for real?

These are countries that actually host US bases and have formal security agreements.

This isn't just a pivot; it's a literal desertion.

They pulled all of the soldiers and huge portions of equipment out of the Gulf to save face and scramble to protect Israel, leaving their long-term partners completely exposed.

The 'security umbrella' didn't just leak; it was folded up and taken away the second things got real.

If you’re a regional ally watching the US strip your defenses to shield a single state, you’re not an 'ally' anymore; you’re just a temporary parking lot for an empire in retreat.

Moreover, it has never been China’s style to go around the globe telling other countries how mighty it is or why they should become its vassals.

China’s strategy has always been focused on a more stable, self-sufficient, higher ROI, internal development, and power building.

When you look at it from that perspective, China is still delivering on its own superpower philosophy.

In 2025, they hit 5% GDP growth with a massive 9.4% surge in high-tech manufacturing, proving their model works in their own lane.

Meanwhile, the US is failing in its own external imperial model.

In just five days of direct conflict against a regional power, it has already lost billions of dollars' worth of high-value military assets and all face.

I thought the US was energy independent. It doesn’t mean they get oil cheap from their own oil companies. Even in wartime emergency situations, the US has to pay market prices so oil companies can exploit and profit. In rich oil states, gas is super cheap. That would never happen in the US where an abundance of oil means gasoline is cheaper than normal. Another example of why everything is more expensive in the West despite how the US claims to have more domestic oil reserves than Saudi Arabia. Someone private has to profit is more important than nation security.

“India should understand that we are not going to make the same mistakes that we made with China 20 years ago in terms of saying, ‘Oh, you know, we’re going to let you be able to develop all these markets and then, you know, the next thing we know is you’re beating us in a lot of commercial events,’” Landau said at the
