Can you imagine Americans voting for a Chinese person? Any Chinese person who does get votes has whitewashed themselves quite thoroughly.
Hehe, another Trump's (US's) game of nothingness. With the trend of dedollarization the value of dollar will go down naturally even if the US tried everything to prevent it. So Trump is running in front of the incoming tzunami as if he is leading the wave, exactly the samething that Obama did in Arab "spring" pretending US was leading something.
The fact is that as a world trading currency, dollar's value was not set by US production, but everyting that is traded in international market including Arab oil, Korean mobile phone, TV, lots of Japanese and European cars etc, even Russian oil and Chinese electronics and machinaries were mostly represented by dollar. Now lots of these are traded in RMB or other currencies and will be more, dollar becomes excessive in supply, representing less products, therefor it will have to devalue. Artificially keeping it high by high interest will hurt US more than saveing like drinking poison to quench thirst.

If US really intends to invade, it's not unlikely that China will rather choose to scuttle it's own industries that it can't bring back to safety.
But in the past years, it's more clear that Xi's foreign policy will be using lower intensity proxy wars abroad rather than allow the scenario of US full scale invasion in Taiwan to happen. Even though many pundits in China would probably want China to drop ambiguity and order US to stand down on the homefront.
China has already put Russia to work and Russians are almost done with it. Iran hasn't been put to work yet, and Trump is notoriously hateful against Arabs. So there is a natural next step. Plus with Russia soon freed up again, it's possible to start probing the third world even harder, like in Venezuela border, what little remains of French Africa and so on.
I think as long as Xi is driving his politics, there will be no counteroffensive on Taiwan. At most, once US is too over extended, they will be asked to drop all claims. But Xi's ideal politics can be disrupted by either domestic rivals or a too aggressive American state.
I think there is greater awareness now in China of the longer term negative consequences of unmitigated climate change such as more extreme weather, as well as the more immediate issue of air quality from burning fossil fuels. China improved its air quality since 2010 when the rest of the world did not believe it could do it. The fact that green tech also allows them to leapfrog over the rest of the world’s ICE industries is a big bonus.
My earlier comment was more about how Trump opposes green tech not out of any grand strategic thinking but more about his cultural war against the American liberals. If they want something, he opposes it, regardless of its merit. He now seems to associate electricity and batteries with the liberals. Just do a search for his unhinged speech about batteries on boats and getting eaten by a shark, or his opposition to electromagnetic catapults on carriers.
Good enough for me. Made in will be associated with heavy, inefficient polluting devices fired by a 2000 L gas engine. Made in China is associated with clean, efficient and electric.
Good. Maybe he can win his war against libshits and let climate change wipe out their agriculture industries.
His wife also taught American history at a university in China.
So he's part of that whole Yale thing.. which explains his involvement with Thiel. Ngl but Vance gives off gay vibes.
Far right and homosexual. Lmao
