I mean this is kind of what Mao seemingly believed in, stacking nuclear defenses, waiting for the decisive trade, and hundreds of millions in China would emerge as the survivors and create global socialism. It was certainly not an unwise line of thinking, especially since he lived in the hopeless time when China didn't not only not have economic dominance, but it was not even in sight. Military was the only thing we could match the Americans in.
Mao lived through the century of humiliation and would have seen the true face of westerners vis-a-vis China and Asia in general and ultimately became the man that China needed. The Maoist all of society response throughout the cold war was a response against anglo american predation of Asia, up until Deng era.
If NATO chooses hostility, a morgenthau plan or some of the USSR proposed variations thereof is probably necessary to secure lasting peace.
But I think you misread how far China needs to go to permanently solve the issue of American aggression. Salting the Midwest fields? Burning Australia?
Midwest fields isn't what allows US to be a threat. What makes US able to be a threat to China? Is it:
A) the high quality of their individual person (no).
B) their agriculture industry (no).
C) the high efficiency of their industry (no lmao).
D) they have usurped international systems to serve their interests through corruption and pan-white supremacy ideology (yes).
So to remove what makes them dangerous, you don't even have to take away their agriculture, their population, or the hand making workshops they call industry.
The ability to feed their people with the bounty of the land is crucial though; Rome or rather Byzantium could not sustain large armies after the loss of Egypt and its grain shipments and even after losing Anatolia, the Bynzantines often had manpower shortages and had to rely on Western mercenaries. Similarly, in this decade long campaign on the North American continent, the anglo american people and its auxiliaries will not be able to sustain a large enough population to field an army if frequent firebombings deplete their grain fields and grain reserves. Their children will grow up stunted with rickets without adequate nutrition rendering reisistance ineffectual against China power. Additionally, it would be poetic justice.
ng with their demographics and at the same time promoting European nationalism and/or alternative competing white "supremacy" ideologies.
Americans want to gather up the whiteys like they're interchangeable ant colony soldiers, born to serve USA simply because they're white. It can be spoiled by for example asking Polish nationalist why they're supporting Ukrainian nazi that massacred Polish collaborators in ww2. Or using Russian white supremacist to highlight how American white supremacist is lgbtqia friendly or any of the other trigger terms that nazis don't like. Or American support for Israel means that backing America means putting the white race under the thumb of Zionists. Regardless of how true or false these accusations are, similar arguments can be used to spoil the low iq white supremacist crowd.
True, problem is that the americanisation of online internet culture and english as the lingua franca of the West feeds the desire for a pan white Bismarkian alliance especially given white male anxiety over competing for jobs and women against africans and muslims in europe and Asians in the anglosphere. This is why you have puny lithuania and otherwise neutral sweden adopting anglo american geopolitical stances and views over issues that need not concern them eg south china sea. The old world way of doing things was to kill all the men and boys and castrate all the young boys to serve as eunuchs and to enslave all the women and girls. Nowadays the anglo prefers to do it with globohomo third wave feminism (look at the 3M movement in korea) and hollywood depicting asians as the enemy, and encouraging asian women to act as the bride of last resort for the otherwise involuntary celibates of the west. The result is that a westerner with no status nor prospects feels compelled to behave arrogantly and atrociously in Asia eg look at Thailand, Pattaya with its sex tourists from britain. Even worse, you have indian emigres who identify as westerners adopting the same disgusting behaviour.
And now, with the rise of China? All of that western privilige in Asia now has a shelf life. Hence why anglo americans who would otherwise have no dealings with china eg vice president select Vance, agree that all effort must be done to beat China down to maintain white anglo american supremacy, and to additionally unite all the white races of the world into a Bismarkian polity. A fourth Reich, if you will.
