Why would the U.S. and China go to war?

[pecksniff]

Some RWs on this board are suggesting such a war is imminent or already happening. But you don't go to war with your trading partners -- the two countries need each other too much.

China doesn't seem to think so.

China doesn't think they have to listen to us, that is all.

A difference without distinction.

Question for you....why are you such a fan of the CCP??

Nothing would please me more than to see them go the way of the CPSU. But it's not going to happen, they've proven too adaptable. Their permanent presence at the helm of China is something we just have to accept and deal with. At least there won't be any more phenomena like the Cultural Revolution, nobody in China is that zealous for Communism any more. What they're zealous for is a form of nationalism that, so far, is making their country rich.

I disagree with that entirely.

"progressives" are trying to create one here in the US.

It's trade with other nations that is making them rich, not nationalism.

Then what do you suggest doing about it? The CCP is not weak enough to topple with a nudge, and war would be a Very Bad Idea.

Just cut them off dude.

So people have to pay a few more bucks at Wal Mart to have one of any other less insane countries produce cheap crap for them.

Oh well.

If the Chinese don't want to give the genocide and expansionist saber rattling a rest?? Let them starve.

That would cut into the bottom line of too many important Americans. It won't happen.

Never seem to hear any expansionist bluster from them except WRT Taiwan.

You know, during the Obama Admin, American military policy substantially shifted its focus to East Asia, but for some reason nobody on the RW seemed to cheer for that.

Then we continue to fund the genocidal expansionist regime and build their forces for them.

That's the only one you're willing to acknowledge, I've shown you others, you just ignore it because reality that shines any sort of negative light on the left seems to offend you.

Whatever.

That is what will happen. Because American capitalists want it to, and what they want, they get.

No, you never have. What countries other than Taiwan has China threatened to annex? I mean countries, not some uninhabited islands in the South China Sea.

 

[CornusKousa]

War it is then!!!

No, you never have.

Yes I have, with citation.....you just ignored it because you rationalized "it's ok" in your head.

What countries other than Taiwan has China threatened to annex? I mean countries, not some uninhabited islands in the South China Sea.

1) Those islands are not all uninhabited.

2) it doesn't matter if they are or not, because they BELONG to other nations not named China.

Japan and the Philippines.

Justify it all you want, your genocidal expansionist comrades in your PRESCIOUS CCP are acting like asshole Nazi scum.

 

[pecksniff]

War it is then!!!

War it isn't, because American capitalists don't want it.

 

[CornusKousa]

War it isn't, because American capitalists don't want it.

They don't get to tell the CCP what to do peck.....wake up.

Youre a fucking idiot.

You and Sylent should fuck and have children

I made children with different conservative Jew already.

Stay triggered comrade.

Correct and China has the most to lose. A war would end all trade and we import way more than we export.

 

[pecksniff]

But they do get to tell the USG what to do -- that's what matters.

 

[CornusKousa]

They only get to influence it to a certain extent, one you exaggerate greatly.
And yes, but it's not ALL that matters.

Bill Clinton fiercely criticized the PRC's human-rights record on the campaign trial -- but, as president, he renewed its Most Favored Nation trading status regardless. I remember a cartoon from the time -- Bill eating in a Chinese restaurant -- "Crispy crow with most favored noodles! I love Chinese food!"

And nobody seems to care much about the Uyghurs.

Probably because they have such a silly name. Sounds like a Fisher Price toy line.

 

[Philthy_Phil]

China doesn't think they have to listen to us, that is all.

How dare they!

Also, fuck china.

Weegrrrs wobble.

Republicans have shown the World how to bring the US to its knees. All they have to do is create a virus...vaccinate their people...and stand back and watch 49% of our population destroy the rest.

 

[pecksniff]

I wonder what is the possibility of revolution in China. With their level of surveillance, it would be hard to organize a movement.
