Video at link....massive infrastructure initiatives by CCP. America meanwhile can't even drill for its own oil and gas.
China also will expand into the North western regions of a now desolate topography, soon to be green with a surplus of electrical power.
China has a lot of problems. They may strike out like a wounded animal as they get deeper into trouble, but I don’t think China is really in a position to take over the world.
I worked at three remote natural gas-to-urea plants in China in fall, winter, and spring of ‘76-‘77. It was generally like stepping back 2,000 years.
Good one.
A nation without power and running water in a lot of it is going to dominate the world.
Billion people yet have created nothing to improve the lives of mankind.
It take extraordinary hate to claim the grass is always greener while living in the only super power left on earth.
THey may not “take over the world”...but they sure are working hard at it.
The USD will soon no longer be the world’s reserve currency.
Lets talk when that happens.
Some people lack the wit to distinguish between "can't" and "won't".
Their commentary on world affairs has little value.
Are you kidding? Have you ever tried TikTok?
It has problems but it has already eclipsed America. We are yesterday’s news.
China can never catch up to the U.S. economically. China is where it is now, only because it has been helped by the U.S. and Europe and a host of other western-style countries.
On its own, China lacks the ingenuity and initiatives to create a self-sustaining economy. China has a lot of smart people, but they’re not free to innovate and create and advance on their own. The freedoms and creative spirits and initiatives and creativity that Americans have had since forever, are what has made America wealthy and the envy of the world. China lacks most of that, and without their thefts of intellectual properties and without the build-up that came from the U.S. and others, China would still be the China of 50 years ago.
A lot of inventions throughout history came out of China. Paper, gunpowder, pasta, the compass.
Not much has changed.
While constructing a massive amusement park-
they employed plenty of three man crews to lay the concrete-
they used a guy with a fan to cool hot connections, By fan, I mean the ones one might see a woman using to fan her face at a golf tournament.
need a part? Going into the city into someone’s back closet where children put them after assembly-
and I could go on for days.
This anti American crap is tiresome.
We’re back to the 1930s where all the US statists and progressives (not to mention the marxists) assumed that the centralized power, planning and decision-making of Soviet Communists would naturally overtake the chaotic, individualist and greedy capitalist world
its a fascists/communists wet dream and we are hearing it again from them about China
I do not deny that China is at a place where it can marshall resources to build bullet trains or new nuclear reactors every month. It is all very real.
But the costs and consequences are not talked about and are certainly not understood in the West.
Right.
China has advantages, but it cannot feed its' population, and it is just as corrupt as Russia.
I didn’t think inserting modern was necessary-silly me.
Any day now, I’ll buy some renewable crap, making my own point mute.
They building up underdeveloped countries by which they can replace the US. The way we turned out to be I don’t blame them. We now need China more then they need us because they buy our debt, but that is changing according to bond stats. Since our government is stupid here what makes anyone think we aren’t stupid everywhere?
How fast can they replace the I-695 bridge in Baltimore?
True. But how long ago are we talking about? What have they created since they became communist? What has China created since WW2 when the U.S. rescued China from being Japan's "comfort woman"?
Yes but that was over 40 years ago.
The world is going to the Yuan?
We’re $200,000,000,000,000 debt/unfunded obligations and no reasonable successor to the dollar even exists.
No, the Euro is going to replace the USD!!!! It barely left a dent.
It’s going to take a cooperative effort of Asia, Europe and the BRICS. Similar to it taking the Vandals, Visigoths and Barbarians to topple Rome. Also, something that is not happening anytime soon.
