Americans see China as biggest threat because they aim to ‘replace’ US.New poll finds 52% of Americans find China as greatest national threat

Being perceived as a threat or not, China only needs to keep its focus on building itself, and the "if you can't beat them, just join them" moment will come.

To those China haters, the sooner you realize this inevitable, the less depression will you suffer in the rest of you life.

That’s why Biden said the US will compete with China and strive to avoid conflict. The US system is well honed to compete, so as long as it stops self inflicted political divisions, it will outlast China. China will have to do something extraordinary if it hopes to outcompete the US.

so as long as it stops self inflicted political divisions,

This might just be America's "Achilles' Heel".

This might just be America's "Achilles' Heel".

But also the points where we can course correct, if we are prudent and remain focused on staying competitive with China.

China is on the rise, the US is going down the toilet. The US has no choice but to see reality.
The British Empire which was one of the most influential empires in history ended and only few decades later, the United Kingdom is hardly a global power anymore, let alone a super power. Things change and they can change fast.
And the US is disarming itself of its weapons one by one. The US is like a monkey on a tree that is cutting the tree by using sanctions as a means to punish "rebellious" countries.

China has outcompeted the US in pretty much every area there is to compete despite the US having a multiple decade head start. China hasn’t done anything extraordinary, just concentrated on development. That was enough to beat the US. When 1.4 billion smart people with a strong work ethic work together supported by good governance, no country on earth can outcompete that. None.

Simply not true. The US is the worlds hub of innovation and advancement.The whole world revolves the US everyday, and you don’t even realize it.

China lives in the shadow of the United States. That’s the brutal reality for you

K.T. MCFARLAND: China plans to replace the United States and dominate, not just to become a co-power, but the one and only superpower in the world, and they plan to replace the United States economically, technologically, militarily, diplomatically, politically, all across the board. And they plan to do it within the decade.

So developing your own country is wrong and its only for the US otherwise that country is a threat. Americans sometimes defy all the logic, they have not heard the word competition yet.

 

[tower9]

Only 52% find China as threat to US dominance? I'm stumped by how naive the remaining 48% are.

The 48% still think China is just a bunch of Nike factories with 8 year olds stitching shoes together.

 

[Beidou2020]

Who cares what the Americans think of China. Only thing that matters is the comprehensive national strength of China. Whether Americans like or hate China makes no difference to the comprehensive national strength of China.

A new poll shows that most Americans lack confidence that the U.S. military will be able to thwart China, which they see as the nation’s most pressing threat.

Only 45% of Americans have a “great deal of trust and confidence” in the military

They feel threatened because they lost confidence in themselves.

From your link, they are talking about "usefulness" from a commercialization perspective, naturally not all inventions or technological discovery can be commercialized, same in US or any country. As per that link, in US 60% of patents are "useless" or not commercialized, in China over 90%. Since top Chinese universities had 5 times the patents of their American counterparts, total amount of "useful" or commercialized patents between the two countries are about the same, but note in China almost all patents are filed by Chinese nationals, while in US half are filed by non-Americans.

The article analyzes China's relatively lower commercialization rate, and explores how to increase "usefulness", i.e. turn "useless" patents into "useful" patents aka "treasure". In the US, a patent is a commodity, there is a price tag on it, there are "patent hooligans" and specialty lawyers that trade/stockpile patents for profits, but not the general practice in China. But China's education ministry as well as local governments are gradually changing this practice, and implementing plans to push for higher levels of commercialization. It's about extracting money out of inventions or technological discovery, it's about return on investment, it's business.

forgive him, he's a simple thinker that doesn't look beyond headlines and ez pz to digest pieces of information AKA informational junk food.

now you wonder, when one side is playing weiqi and the other tic tac toe, what will happen?

 

[Stranagor]

It is extremely easy for the US regime to manipulate people's mind and make them even support wars. So many cases from near history can be found.

Thus, for foreign countries, no need to interact with the people through useless public diplomacy. Just buy influence in the US regime. US state elites will herd their people's minds according to their strategic needs.

Americans see China as biggest threat because they aim to ‘replace’ US
New poll finds 52% of Americans find China as greatest national threat

Former Trump deputy national security adviser K.T. McFarland reacted to a new poll that found more than half of Americans view China as the largest threat to the United States on "Mornings with Maria" Wednesday, arguing the country is concerned it plans to "replace" the U.S.

K.T. MCFARLAND: China plans to replace the United States and dominate, not just to become a co-power, but the one and only superpower in the world, and they plan to replace the United States economically, technologically, militarily, diplomatically, politically, all across the board. And they plan to do it within the decade.

So it's not just that they're stealing American intellectual property; it's where they're doing it and they're pushing out into the technologies of the future. They realize that the country that controls the technologies of the future, the companies that make artificial intelligence, robotics, bioengineering, all of those are going to continue to be the leaders of the world economy, but also the world power.

And so China wants to take all of those for itself.

only 52%? that's good news. cuz in the dump I mean trump days, it used be 82%. I'm glad it took less than a year for the 30% to realize who is the new sheriff on the block now. don't worry, give it one more year, it will go down to 22%!
