Those Chinese are full of themselves. If they are so special, why not just stay over there, and stop sending their people over here to have babies, steal, and spy?
Smart people can suffer delusions, and it appears that Chinese Communist President Xi Jinping is delusional, if not so smart after all. Full of hubris, he once asserted Chinese intentions to become the dominant world power. Now he suggests their strategic relationship with the U.S. will be one of cooperation and “measured competition.” Competition? Measured? What a joke. All they do is steal our intellectual property.
Revealing his supercilious delusions, Xi invoked the specter of the “Thucydides Trap,” wherein the rise of a new sovereign “power” creates tensions with an established ruling power, often leading to conflict between the two. What a bunch of Chinese chicanery -- by some important measures, China is a fading, and failing, nation. Perhaps, for domestic distraction purposes, that will entice Xi to militarily strike out against Taiwan; if anything, that may reflect weakness rather than strength.
Indeed, the following measures are main contributors of a nation’s power. First consider China, then the U.S.
China:
- Economic scale: China’s population is shrinking. They are experiencing high debt and a weak property sector. They are floundering in a significant economic slowdown.
- Geopolitical influence: China’s is waning, especially in the Middle East.

A declining nation can strike out too.
What other country has entire “Ghost Cities?”
Trump allowing the 100,000 Chinese students here is a disgrace.
They should be treated like diplomats where any babies born here are NOT citizens. Also, if caught doing anything illegal against America, they will be put in a maximum security prison and serve the entire length of punishment or put to death.
Taiwan is arming itself to the teeth in preparation for its invasion of the mainland. Or so I’ve heard.
I think its 600,000.
Couldn’t have said it better myself...
Do you think its capable of being another Ukraine?
Only a fool would underestimate China intentions.
I really don’t know.
It’s 600,000
Has the US and by extension Western Europe all ready fallen victim to the trap: proxies wars in Ukraine and now Iran.
In before the wise scholarly, oh so intellectual observation that “China plays the long game.”
Ah so, Grasshopper.
One only needs to understand the "Belt and Road" strategy to see Chinas intentions.
That’s not even a valid analogy, but let’s play Xi’s game. Xi says he’s Athens coming up in a world dominated by Sparta and the Spartan League - which is us in Xi’s allusion.
Spoiler alert... Sparta initiated the war and Sparta won. If he, as Athens in his delusion, invades Taiwan to trigger a war, the analogy falls apart even more.
No. America has not “already fallen into the trap.”
Thanks for posting.
Very truthful.
China is our enemy.
Can we hunt down Free Traitors now?
At least 17 are all together with President Trump on Air Force 1
Petrodollar wars
Right? All 600k of the CCP brats are spies. China lavishes academia with money to buy their way in.
