what major debt problem?
china's foreign debt (2.3 trillion) is only like 13.6% of GDP. compared to foreign reserves of 3.25 trillion
internal debt doesn't matter nearly as much.
Your turkey is currently sitting at like 60%+ of GDP in foreign debt.
US is at like 34%
japan at 90-something %...
correct, IF the us attacked it would have made up its mind, it would be war already. i do not disagree.
i am saying however, that the decision to go to war is unlikely.
in additional, i had already said previously that the only one who can do this blockade is the USN as they are in fact...
did you not read anything i wrote? the us is as connected to china as every other country in the world. and a wide scale economic blockage is a nuclear option that will hurt it as much as anyone else. and even if we don't consider the economic aspects, the act of blockading isn't free...
which speech? the man makes a whole lot of speeches and statements, you're going to have to be more specific.
that said, i do recalled one where he talks about the "victory" of having gotten covid under control. which china very much did do. He did not say that covid is literally gone.
and...
you do realize china is like the largest trade partners of many many countries around the world? and the world largest manufacturer? practically everything you have in your modern life has some part from or is assembled in china.
and with 3.3 trillion in exports and 2.7 trillion in imports...
I don't think its a massive issue. i mean go look at most professional ping pong players in countries other than china.
of course more scientists should have priority, but sports is good too.
and if they get paid more, then the question is are they better players than those who get paid...
the ccp "position" is that there is no covid in china??
im gonna need a source on that.
As far as I know, the policy is called "zero covid" but thats just the name, actual policy is to not tolerate covid and stamp out clusters before it gets worse, not that there is zero covid in china.
japan is just jealous that china got 30 heads of state to come to its olympics despite western "diplomatic boycott" while its Tokyo Olympics only got 15.
that and also the way better response by athletes to chinese accommodations than japanese cardboard beds.
not "other naval forces". only the usn potentially can. no one else even has a chance. PLAN puts nearly an entire italian navy's worth of ships in to the water every year.
but that means killing off trade to and from there for everyone else as well (japan and korea can say goodbye to their...
who says there's literally no covid cases in china?
its well known that there has been breakouts(including some cases in the olympic village right now). its just that china can test literally everyone in a city and stamp out any clusters quickly and efficiently. and the chinese people on the...
lol. because china doesn't want like 4 million dead people isn't a good enough answer?
the west: "it must be because china's hospitals are bad and its government is bad"
meanwhile: their "good" hospitals

and where exactly did i say they wouldn't be?
quit imagining things.
I only responded to the claim: no one would "dare" strike at us carriers .
with the fact that people absolutely would dare in war if they have the chance. even iraq took potshots at the coalition navy.
india should match chinese defence spending.
oh wait, india buys everything abroad, from bullets to jets...
india should totally have double the chinese defence spending. I'm all for it!
"“The hope is that Xi Jinping will be replaced by someone less repressive at home and more peaceful abroad. "
Translation : "we need to remove xi and install a puppet who will bend to all our demands, it'll be like 1890 all over again yay! "
unfortunately for them, they're the only ones...
Sure businesses have internal information, but the question is, why do you think businesses are leaving china when the majority are thinking the opposite?
by all accounts, they are practically begging for china to open its markets even more so they can invest even more.
a few leaving isn't...
im sure the link and page is real. but i'm saying NTD is literally a propaganda mouthpiece, they straight up make up stories about china, making them much worse than the people's daily or the voice of america or radio free asia and such, at least those media arms have some basis in reality...
FYI, NTD is literally a Falun Gong cult propaganda mouthpiece. these are the same people who notes things like 1 billion people have quit the ccp. and their method of counting is just a online button you can click on as many times as you want to "quit" the ccp.
