The one who misquoted the source now complains that the source won't agree with her mistake.

Laura Harth either doesn't have a clue about what she is talking about, or more likely, she is deliberately muddying the water. The fact is, China won't violate any UNCLOS rules by closing off the Taiwan Strait.

You generally not able to accept the reality that China is a peer-level competitor to the US positionally but with much faster speed and much higher GDP PPP is causing your fake educated English to break up.

Just a bit of copium -you must say always "near peer,near peer"-never peer.

Isn’t end of history what Fukuyama thought happened when liberal democracy completely dominated the world after the Soviet collapse? So as long as Xi is alive XJP thought will also dominate the world? Not getting his logic here.

It wouldn't happen, it's way less controversial and won't invite severe reprisal on US/Pro-US civilians (which they don't actually care about, but it looks really bad for them in the press) if America just cancels your visa and tells you to go to some neutral country. *shrugs

I think if 1 country has a larger economy, industry base and leads in more technological sectors, that does indeed make the smaller country only near peer to the larger one. Arguments against this is that US has a larger (although not necessarily qualitatively equal or able to replenish at same rates) standing military.

I still find it funny how they are trying to blame the one child policy for China fertility problems when like most of the developed world (and hell even countries like India) have this problem. Its almost a global wide problem.

Like is there a reason they want to die on this hill so badly?

Sure: America is collapsing because of all the paycheck to paycheck living^TM, or the federal interest expense^TM, or survey data about a civil war^TM, or whatever.

China is not a “peer-level competitor” to the US in any aspect and will not be for at least another 1-2 decades (even assuming China sustains the same growth trajectory as the Tigers did). After all, Taiwan and Hong Kong, which are notionally parts of China are U.S.-China irritants.

Sure - but that’s only because China is a middle-income country with substantial gains from capital deepening.

GDP PPP adjustments are dumb because it’s “if you consider that poor countries aren’t on the technological frontier, they are actually rich”. Trying to adjust out Baumol when Baumol is the channel by which economic development happens is peak silliness.

Russia decides to really go after the real heads of the Anglo American empire. This can only mean those talks of nato strikes into Russia were approved by the Rothschild family.
