What a bunch of cry babies. Sounds perfectly fine for China to do when the US can tell other countries not to do business with China. This is the truth coming out because before there were no challengers to the US. It's like how the US says it believes in the spirit of competition. Yeah when there are no peer challengers to the US. Now Chinese innovation has the US scared. Does the US then spend resources to make American innovation better? No, they find the easier path to undermine China instead. The only way they can compete with the competition is by pushing them down and not lifting themselves up.
@zgx09t bro I'm a former catholic and a lot of my former Christian friend try to convert me saying that I was enlighten having experience the dogmatic of Catholicism and I answer politely" screw you", your religious interpretation is even worse and are willing to induced violence in the name of Christ. I lost a lot of friendship that day BUT I had gain their respect. That is how to confront this Christian zealot, in their face BUT polite NO with attitude, cause IF you dither you will be converted with their persistent.
I once had a Mormon tried to convert me and a bunch of my friends a years ago (teenage years). Milked them for all the stuff they were willing to provide us with like playing basketball at their church compound, offering us free meals and ice cream snacks. And then had us watched a couple of Latter day Saint's video which when the video ended asked us to convert and accept their religion.
Looks like I chose the wrong wording for this one. Sorry about that. The point I was trying to make was that the Chinese should beat back the US hard before they get too desperate but still harbor the hope that it will succeed. It doesn’t need to be a military approach. Like you said, Wall St is just as powerful or even more powerful than the politicians. Destroying their income will force them to take several steps back. The same goes for oil companies, high tech companies, major farming organizations and etc. All of that can determine the political landscape in the US. The salami slicing tactics in regards to Taiwan and East Asia, the blacklist of Chinese companies that received barely any retribution, the unpunished and blatant meddling in and lies about Chinese internal affairs, and etc are all feeding that hope I mentioned. The Chinese need to be significantly more active in quashing this hopium.
I would say both. Based on what their think tanks and professors have been saying about the US-China contention, I deduce that there is still a relatively influential faction that wants to be on good terms with the US even if it means accepting an inferior status. Simultaneously, the Chinese haven’t really been active in foreign politics and was focusing mostly on their economy. The problem is that the US wants China as a whole to go down because they threaten the fundamental pillars of their economy.
Then those dumb dumb "think tanks" need to wake up and smell the darn coffee because to pretend that there will be pom poms and rainbows with the U.S. from here on out are not just being delusional but also engaging in an activity that's actually destructive to the future of China and by a large extent the Global South.
I agree these are extremely concerning if implemented but many things are proposed in US bills that never come to fruition. I personally think Biden doesn't have much room to pursuing high stakes gamesmanship over Taiwan/HK when US economy has record high inflation, skyhigh debt, and slow economic growth. Now if a Republican gets into power in 2024, then that is really really concerning, because over half the stuff you posted will become reality. With Biden, probably it will be significantly diluted or removed outright. Biden can't afford to confront China when his popularity is so low due to pandemic and poor economic status. What you posted is more of a wishlist amongst Republican hawks than what will actually be implemented.
