What Harris and Trump Have in Common: Targeting China | The China Report

Biden is out, Kamala Harris is in. Meanwhile, JD Vance is Trump’s new VP pick. In this week’s episode, Amanda and KJ discuss what these two events mean for the future of U.S.-China relations in the next four years. Would Harris continue Biden’s New Cold War? Who are the China hawks likely to determine policy under another Trump administration? Whatever happens in November, war with China is an issue where Republicans and Democrats remain united.
Our understanding of China - and U.S.-China relations - has become a defining feature of all global politics. The China Report is a new show produced in collaboration with Pivot to Peace where every week, journalist Amanda Yee and political analyst KJ Noh will be helping you through all the propaganda with an independent view of the country we are taught to hate, but know so little about.

It's no secret that every election in UK, EU, US, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Japan, South Korea, that there will always be a bipartisan approach regardless of which party it is, left or right, doesn't matter, they always need a boogeyman, a scapegoat, a punching bag, to win votes. Using other countries, such as China as a talking point in politics, has been the go-to subject in how many election campaigns now? It's become the new norm. If you're NOT bashing on China, you're branded a Pro-China softie, despite NOT wanting to engage in confrontations, but if you're engaging in confrontations against China, you're seen as one of the good guys, this is the kind of Bloc mentality these western politicians have. They see China as a threat to their own western economic dominance. Hence why all this fabrication, propaganda against China, on their products, all these negative, reports on Chinese brands, products, they don't want countries buying anything from China, so this whole campaign against China, will eventually backfire onto themselves. As the years go on, countries with US Dollars, will slowly decrease those amounts, until they hold no more US dollars, cause they know those US dollars could be used against them by USA. Countries are now waking up to this US Fiat currency, this US Ptero-Dollar system. Nobody supports the US monetary system anymore. They're walking away from it. Opting instead to work with other countries, neighbouring countries instead, joining the BRICS, & many others, for trade, development, joint ventures, looking for investments elsewhere other than the west.

[@jansecj9472]

@@Drownedinblood Yep, also, I wouldn't say "americans are against China's progress" but more likely they are TRAINED to be by their elites. Because if you start to look at China with more accepting eyes, trying to learn and understand how they came from zero to this, it might start to put the western system into another perspective. And that's the main point: western capitalism don't want its citizens to see that another system is objetively more efficient and better. Most of WW2 and some post-WW2 was basically US and partners invading/destroying every place that had some form of popular revolutions: Vietnam, Korea, Laos, Cuba, Haiti, Yugoslavia, etc etc. Basically, western elites piss in their pants with what China might inspire in their own populations.

@@fightback397 it makes perfect sense. Housing has increased by 40%.

It's easy to calculate what an average household can spend on in a pie chart.
