It might be, but doesn't change the fact that it is peddled and fanned by the chinese propaganda machine here on this forum.
That's a stupid proposition. So, your smirk is groundless.
One can hardly ignore, for good or for bad, if something appears on Bloomberg or NYT. People will just grab it.
Normally,
China Threat Theory and
China Collapse Theory work on different (in fact, direct opposite) premises. The first works on the premise of a ginormous China hell bent on gobbling up the US. The second works on the premise of a weak China about to collapse in two or three years of time.
Both narratives are generated mostly in the Western media. Both have their own industry, supply chain, marketing and social benefits. People earn money from it and are able to put bread on the table. They are professional
collapsists and
threatists.
People on this forum simply reflect them (from either perspectives) and, in fact, reflect only a miserable portion of it.
Indians here do the same: They grab news according to their taste and in order to prove their points.
I personally like to quote from Western media mostly China Threat Theory stuff. It is funnier. Others like China Collapse Theory stuff. It is a matter of taste.
What are you laughing about? Whatever happens with the US-China trade war, India will be a gutter and will remain a gutter forever. Where do you find the temerity to laugh?
They
will have the last laugh in 2012 when commercial taxis are driven overwhelmingly by Whites.
