“Since then, China has transitioned into a pure form of a fascist state, where the government no longer owns, but controls the means of production.”

That part is technically true and it was done as a means and method for the CCP to retain control and to use the economic and technical advancements as instruments of that control.

China cannot have economic and political stability unless it has open access to American markets. Trump imposing a level playing field is an existential threat to the Chinese communist party and its leadership.

Do you think the CCP will not kill millions of their own people to quell an uprising?

China is a Ponzi scheme- an enormous pyramid scam economy that is absolutely unsustainable and will inevitably collapse.

It’s just a matter of time. Sure, the CCP will pull some stupid stunts to try to distract the people, but it won’t work. The Chinese people, in general, are fed up with the totalitarian control of nearly every facet of their life. Discontent is growing and it will not be contained by another Tiananmen Square massacre.

I hate the CCP, and I dislike the way the Chinese people exist in a culture that enshrines lying, theft of intellectual property, cheating, and graft and corruption..

It will be good to see them get curb stomped.

Of course they will slaughter their own people.

This over states the per capital income.

Xi Jinping never had the “mandate of Heaven.”

By starvation, or in a war. The latter might spur some favorable economic possibilities.

Several years ago, I viewed the flight deck operations videos that were released with their first carrier. What a goat rope of massive proportions.

Five minutes to launch one plane, with officers overseeing every single move of the plane in the hanger, on the elevator, and on the deck. Can’t even fit more than one plane on the elevator, no matter what.

You only learn those skills from a warrior trained culture, and they are not and never will be ready for naval operations.

Interesting. However, to my mind, Aircraft Carriers are on the verge of obsolescence. Those hypersonic missiles will make swiss cheese of them.

Would be super cool to see them embrace freedom, like we were back about 40-75 years ago.

Hell it would be super cool to see US embrace freedom.

Since china only buys stuff from us they can eat or clone/steal/exploit…I say F—K them. Tariff the crap out of them and let them go to hell , and if they try anything funny, plasma transport 1000 nukes to their country and finish them for good

I like the cut of your jib, mister. 😊

“Distinction without a difference.”

Not at all. Mussolini essentially created Fascism in Italy after WWI as a reaction and organized opposition to the expansion of Communism from the USSR into the rest of the world - particularly Italy.

I wouldn’t bet on it too quickly….

They’ll go to war before they’ll let that happen

If the current Commie/fascist regime crashes & burns into internal chaos, won’t they take the world economies down with it?

Not to mention, angry, potentially unstable masters still have armies & weapons, to include nukes.

Most of China’s technology is stolen from the West. That’s not good enough, because the country you stole it from already has it and has already applied it efficiently. You have to invent your own technology and apply it before competitors are even aware. China has failed miserably at this.

Excellent point.

That IS the real danger. They are drunk with power. Think of the DNC on steroids.

I will be surprised if the Chi-Coms are still around 10 years from now considering how fast things are falling apart over there.
