Agreed—civilization has always been very fragile.

Very few humans have lived in times of peace and freedom.

War and slavery are the norm in human history.

Having had a couple of wives from China and many visits there to most of the southern provinces, this article is accurate. China is built upon lies.

The State Owned Enterprises (SOE) still control nearly everything. Private businesses as well as foreign corporations all have CCP managers. These managers report production and materials usage data up their chain of command - ending with the provincial managers. Their numbers have to look good, or heads roll.

This is how ghost cities are built - they need their concrete, steel, and glass numbers to show growth. Beautiful glass buildings are everywhere, and poorly maintained. 10 years later, they are demolished and replaced.

Should China start the next war, their economy will collapse rapidly, as their exports will dry up overnight. Container ships will be sunk. Their raw materials and fuel will not support their industrial base without imports, and they can’t grow enough food to support their populace.

All of the Chinese propaganda articles portraying them as invincible is just typical Chinese face saving.

What is “troll-like” in the statement “China is the world’s premier manufacturer?”

Diesel electric are the quietest, except when its time to charge up the batteries.

All China can do is steal tech. Commies aren’t producers.

Well...as they’ve already enslaved and pimped out their own citizens as slave labor for multi-national corporations, they’ll just look to see whom they can invade to take up the slack.

Taiwan isn’t going to last under Biden.

> which created many single, self-absorbed adults with poor social skills and an entitlement mindset that included no great desire to marry young and bear the financial burden of offspring.

So they have Millennials and Gen Z slackers, too.

Yep, especially among the upper middle class that only have ONE PAMPERED CHILD who are growing up to be just what you describe.

Bend China until it breaks. That is what they fear, so we should give it to them in spades. Confucianism promotes docility, a passive cheating. American pop culture promote anti-authoritarian aggressive rule-breaking (and sex), and that's exactly what we should be cramming down the pipe of every worthless mandarin 24/7/365.

You think that's a joke, China has halted the release of any and all new video games in the PRC. The next step will be to stop new movies and new streaming, for exactly the reasons I've stated.

China has a real problem with 18-35 incel gamers who disdain 996 but dream of anti-authoritarian behavior ("Lin Deezel!" lol) and American women, and we should be fostering and amplifying their problems and figure out new ways to promote Chinese dissolution.

Destroy China from within, without mercy.

Yes, one on one, the Chinese carrier is no match for an American carrier.

How many carriers will China crank out over the next 5 years?

How well will an American carrier do against FIVE Chinese ones?

I laugh about how China can lead the world. They have to STEAL all of the latest technology from the USA. America’s system is the one that dominates because it is the system where the innovations take place.

No nation can lead the world if they have to steal all the latest technology to keep up by copying it.

Let’s look at it this way ... Michael Jordan, during his prime, was the greatest basketball player in the world. How would he fare playing a game all alone by himself against five junior varsity players?

This is the troll part:

“One only has to visit a Wal-Mart to see Chinese manufacturing superiority.”

One of the main factors that contribute to noise levels are propeller blades, which can cause an underwater phenomenon called cavitation, where bubbles form along the blade edges and cause underwater noise.

Didn't clinton release some grinding machines to china that can be programmed to cut propeller blades...

If the productive law abiding intelligent families were breeding like rabbits

Having a large family is NOT "breeding like rabbits".

The average American household consists of 2.53 people in 2020.

Partly because of the explosion of single mothers. If the Father was in the home that statistic wouldn't be so bad. Cultural marxism, 3rd wave feminism, no-fault divorce, etc...

You need to read up what China is now inventing and producing. According to the CIA, China now controls 4 or 5 of the 10 industries that make up a superpower.
