But remember, Joe told us that

China is "not competition" for the U.S.
Chinese leaders are 'good folks'
and that the Uighur genocide is because China has 'different norms'.

And his son got millions from them......

Yep good old Joe will be really 'tough' on China. Our foreign policy is going into the toilet.

And yet Dem's keep pointing at Russia as being the threat.

China literally owns half of the politicians in the swamp and their main man is stumbling around the oval office.

The libs in HK want everything tax free including free housing and something like social security for all. That would increase its flat tax from 17% for all citizens and businesses to about 32-35%.

Just like the libs here in US, the libs in HK live in a fantasy. The commies are actually functioning like the GOP.

You allow a bunch of libs run wild in HK, its over as a financial hub. No one wants that. Its all lip service from the G7. They got so much intelligence services invested in HK, they just don't want that to go away when the commies really take over. And the don't want HK to become a replacement for NYSE which is very likely to happen once the Chinese say fuck you to Wall Street with all the regulations and discriminations.

Its all about self interest. I don't see no G7 worry about Yemen, Sudan or Chad? The blacks aren't people? Worry about those rich spoiled HKers who have more money per household than your average Americans? Its fucking laughable.

Wrong goals for sure. We are damn lucky if they manage to move the economy sideways. Not holding my breath for that.

How can a group that is focused on the political correctness of cartoon characters and barbie dolls be effective and tough at foreign policy and doctors that want us dead?

China has a window of opportunity to capitalize (no pun intended) on the West’s ineptitude. China needs to be the dominant world power in the next 8-10 years. If it doesn’t it’s going to come crashing down as it is facing a demographic disaster in the following years:
1) Decades of 1-child policy will result in majority of its people > 60 years of age. As a result, not enough working population to support the country and elderly.
2) Not enough women to go around due to decades of sex/gender selection/aborting girls.

It has reformed these rules, but its citizens have realised economic benefits of smaller households so you can’t force people to have more kids (not yet anyway). With this potential disaster, the CCP is going to anything it needs to. And I do mean anything.

The Uyghurs ئۇيغۇرلار, Уйғурлар situation is not to be taken lightly. They are Muslim and deserve more respect than the CCP is giving them. Locking them up in concentration camps and marginalizing their efforts for dignity is a disgrace to humanity.

"The whole Southeast Asian sector is and always was in the Communist Chinese crosshairs.
Vietnam, Thailand, Indonesia, The Philippines, Myanmar etc."

Vietnam kicked major Chinese ass in 1978-79 when China invaded. Don't fuck with Vietnam! That army beat America and won't back down.

The cong did not beat us - Uncle Walter did no the nightly news.

General VoNguyen Giap. General Giap was a brilliant, highly respected leader of the North Vietnam military. The following quote is from his memoirs currently found in the Vietnam War Memorial in Hanoi:

'What we still don't understand is why you Americans stopped the bombing of Hanoi. You had us on the ropes. If you had pressed us a little harder, just for another day or two, we were ready to surrender! It was the same at the battle of TET. You defeated us! We knew it, and we thought you knew it.
But we were elated to notice your media was helping us. They were causing more disruption in America than we could in the battlefields.

We were ready to surrender. You had won!'

General Giap has published his memoirs and confirmed what most Americans knew. The Vietnam War was not lost in Vietnam — it was lost at home.

The same slippery slope, sponsored by the U.S. media, is currently underway. It exposes the enormous power of a Biased Media to cut out the heart and will of the American public.
A truism worthy of note: Do not fear the enemy, for they can take only your life. Fear the media, for they will distort your grasp of reality and destroy your honor.

These words dont surprise me at all...

"It was the same at the battle of TET. You defeated us! We knew it, and we thought you knew it.
But we were elated to notice your media was helping us. They were causing more disruption in America than we could in the battlefields."

During Vietnam war there were too many politicians with their business in the military business of the day. Top brass couldnt do shit without too many "approvals" of high level objectives. The notion of bombing Hanoi became thought of as extending the targets outside the theater of hostilities.

Should have listened to JFK.

We can help them, we can give them equipment, we can send our men out there as advisors, but they have to win it, the people of Vietnam, against the communists.” —President John Kennedy in a televised interview with Walter Cronkite on September 2, 1963. “I am not going to lose Vietnam.



He didnt want it to be what it became.

China has been doing what's best for China and will continue to do so... and the results speak for itself. That in itself doesn't make China an enemy of the US... some interests will align, some won't... that's geopolitics... but expecting China to follow/submit to the US is unrealistic.

Magas please stop whining that Biden didnt solve Hong Kong in 50 some odd days. A few days ago you guys were more concerned about Dr Seuss and Mr Potatohead as the biggest crisis facing our country. Nevermind the pandemic ravaging the country and the economy. During Trump you guys were America first. Remember? Isolationism? Screw our allies and coalitions? You guys are so transparent.

Your boy Trump did what?
Think about that....Trump blocked the Pentagon from bringing Biden's team up to speed...if you are concerned about Hong Kong as you suddenly claim to be....isn't that a huge problem? Ah well...please continue to donate to Trump's PAC where 100% of your money goes to supporting Trump's lavish lifestyle and will do nothing to help the causes you think you care about...at this moment. Next week you will probably complain about the teletubbies teaching our children to be homosexual. Oh wait...you already did that.

"CACutieClub... The United States did not lose the war in Vietnam. Get your facts straight."

Oh forgive me. The Americans won and spread democracy to Vietnam. I forgot.

Now, why are there so many Vietnamese people from that era in the SGV, IE and OC again? If America "won" that war, then why were so many refugees who sided with the US and China literally thrown out to sea after Saigon fell in 1975?

You get yo damn facts straight Mr. Revisionist. America failed. The Communists prevailed.

I don't think the Chinese would loose this time around...unless the bazillion SSMs they have suck. If that's the case they'll accidently defeat Cambodia or Laos.
