Tuuktuuk@piefed.ee 1 day agoI almost completely agree with PM_ME_etc. Even to the part that yes, you are afraid of China and Chinese cultures in ways that are not necessary.
At the same time, it is China’s goal to turn the west towards authoritarianism. Many parts of MAGA’s political goals are coaligned with those of China, even if their goals regarding economy politics are extremely different.
Currently an increasing share of the western consumption is fed by factories in China. We’re currently practically completely able to produce mobile phones without China, because even if the phone is made in Mexico or South Korea, it is still made of Chinese components, such as the tiny torx screws not made in scale in a reasonable quality anywhere else than China.
Eventually China will shut down that trade. It will hurt China, but if as a consequence China can get us under its command, they will gain more than they lose.
Currently it would be extremely crucial to support industrial production practically anywhere outside China, some clear cases, such as NK, of course excluded. An amount of sinophobia is very necessary to make this happen!

Thank you! This was the most informative comment I have received. I think I know the understanding of what’s truly going on with trade, the way Trump is trying to change our country in an authoritative state, and all around got information I truly needed as media is portraying it one way but not the truth just “their truth” and I have learned most media outlets are owned by them. And with Kirk’s death it just terrified me to see the amount of support that came from the GOP and making him into a martyr and that’s what happened before and why my family left.
But seriously, thank you! I appreciate your comment so much!
