Yeah, I'm proud the italian footballers refused to knee to black lives matter as that is really colonialism to its finish. Personally I've always despised american general culture and system, not the people, people can be smart/dumb everywhe4re, even though I think national culture influences our character, but the national system based on wild capitalism, the way the seem to invade countries in name of democracy, the way capitalism in their country promotes ignorance and stupidity , unhealthy lifestyle (glorify obesitity as body acceptance) and selfish behaviour when your health right is based on your personal financial ability. I admire the general freedom, and positive mindset, the ability to make money unlike anywhere else in the world, the fact a world under China would be much less free so USA is a protector of western freedom and without them we would be under nazis, but overall the colonist mindset and culture just isn't great.

I feel the same way. I am worried about China, but with India and Vietnam getting stronger, wealthier and more powerful, there is a possibility that there will be a balance of power. I know that India and Vietnam are not the best countries to live in, but they are anti-Chinese and can stand up to China. Especially India.

But it won’t be America who will stand up to China. America is just too divided internally, with many young Americans wanting to balkanise their country like with what happened to Yugoslavia. This is the fault of the neoliberals and the neoconservatives, the people who have been responsible for America’s colonial escapades for the last 150 years. But America will never be able to stand up to China. Especially when a lot of American politicians and celebrities have been bribed by the Chinese government. We just have to have faith in India.

Vietnam too small to stand up to China. India? Possible, they're democratic, more similar values to the west. Shitty place to live, pretty poor, could only reach China prosperity if the west stopped working with China and invested in India. Also India got lots of internal problems to deal with, like the religious fights between muslims and hindus, and the fight against Pakistan, which is being supported by China, they also have still a weird caste mindset I guess

Vietnam is small, but they have about 100 million people living there. If they work with Japan and South Korea, they can form an alliance.

India has a lot of problems, but their economy is growing. A lot manufacturing has moved to India and Vietnam because China has gotten more expensive and more regulatory. India needs to sort out the caste system and the religious conflicts, but America has had both religious and ethnic conflicts as well and it was still able to develop from the late 18th century up until the late 20th century. So India can still develop into a powerhouse.

This is what China believes. Especially with Dementia Joe in the White House. That is why they are about to invade Taiwan. Meanwhile their property investment ponzi scheme is crashing down around them. Xi is afraid to leave the country for fear of being replaced.

Just remember, Biden told the Chinese how many nuclear weapons the USA has and General Milley told them "I have your back" to forewarn them of any American attack. Biden and Milley are both TRA as well.

If India does anything, nuclear Pakistan will go after India.

General Milley is a traitor. I am disgusted with Biden for keeping him in the cabinet, but I heard that Trump appointed him despite being warned not to, so I’m disgusted with Trump as well.

I hope China does not invade Taiwan. Taiwan is an amazing country, probably one of the best to live in, and that would get ruined if Taiwan became a part of China. But I don’t have much faith that Taiwan will remain independent for much longer. But China does have problems with their property investment Ponzi scheme, as you’ve said, and the regulations they’ve been imposing has been driving manufacturing out of China. Not to mention the negative lingering affects of the One Child Policy, that has been replaced by a Two Child Policy. So hopefully if China does invade Taiwan, this will be the breaking point that causes China’s collapse.
