>>13345142China isn't a threat. They're becoming a trade competitor with the country that buys their shit, and their whole economy and government is fucking insolvent.
Their finance sector is a joke, they have a housing bubble that makes the us housing bubble look like a minor inconvenience, their population demographics are falling apart and their printing yuan at a rate that makes the US dollar look conservative.
i'm not even going to get onto their infrastructure problems. China for the longest time has been totally dependent on the US up till now and that's actually a problem that's going to get WORSE for them, not better.
their patented virus fuck up on top of being rude and stealing technology from all their trade partners just makes them more trouble than they're worth to everyone now.
i really don't think china is anything close to something like the USSR was to the USA in the cold war.
