China is expanding the ecobomic and military simultaneously. Accommodate rather than compete is a viable option.

When US launched trade war and arrested Huawei CFO, it was quite obvious that China can no longer "hide". The ambassador seems to suggest that China should be stupid to ignore such an obvious situation.

Biggest mistake America gave the cheap china a chance

[@2KSnSLifestyle]

I don't think America or the world has an option. China is not called the Middle Kingdom for nothing. Let that sink in.

[@user-yy6yn9sk9z]

It's not so much America, but Henry Kissinger and his minions saw a huge potential in that 1 billion population as a factory for the world. Cheap cheap labor and ludicrous profit margins. Corporate greed sold us out. The Congressional majority were vehemently against it. That is the reason why they immediately established Taiwan's relation Act to protect the island from Chinese aggression by allowing sales of weapons to which Deng agree that they won't excise military force. If it weren't for Kissinger, communist China would have collapsed in the 70s. He didn't represent us the American people. He was a sellout.

@@willywonka4340 That's pure baloney. Chinese labor is no longer cheap and yet China still attracts more foreign investments than any other countries in Asia. The reality is no country can isolate China and its 1.4 billion people. In any case 100 years from now, half of the world's population will be Chinese. Take it or leave it.

@@2KSnSLifestyle lol you haven't realized that your country China is facing replacement population collapse. Also all the things you just said are exactly opposite of what's really happening to your country. Well, ignorance is bliss they say. 🤷‍♂️😆 my suggestion is that you stop dreaming and face reality and find a way to get out of China because apparently we Americans welcome refugees like you through the southern border that our President Biden kept open on purpose. It's not too late! Do it before Trump shut the border off after he gets re-elected lol.

It's hilarious to call China imperial and seeing threatened from West. Please ask global south, who is imperialism on this planet and who is sanctioning and containing China right now.

Congratulations, fascinating conversation. In any case I wouldn't trust the Chinese for an hour. 13:35 13:35

Over 140 countries have China as its top trading partner.
