In China, "another brutal purge" is coming.
Ruler Xi Jinping, already roiling the Communist Party with a "rectification" campaign and mass persecution of foes, has risked his future with recent high-profile incursions into Indian-controlled territory.
Unfortunately for Xi, he is the "architect" of these aggressive moves into India and his People's Liberation Army (PLA) has unexpectedly flopped.
....
Beginning in early May, Chinese forces advanced south of the Line of Actual Control, the temporary border between the two giants, principally in three separate areas in Ladakh, high in the Himalayas....
The May incursions took New Delhi by surprise. As Cleo Paskal of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies tells Newsweek, Moscow in April had assured India that large-scale Chinese maneuvers in its Tibet Autonomous Region were not preparations for a move below the Line.
China also took India by surprise on June 15 in the Galwan Valley, the northernmost of the three areas of incursion. In a premediated move, Chinese troops killed 20 Indian soldiers. It was the first deadly confrontation between the two giants in 45 years.
Beijing is accustomed to getting its way in disputed territory, especially because Indian leaders and soldiers, "psychologically paralyzed" by their loss in the 1962 border war with China, played only defense.
Paralyzed no more. China is thought to have suffered at least 43 deaths in the Galwan clash. Paskal says the number of Chinese killed could exceed 60. Indian troops fought back ferociously. Beijing won't admit the extent of the debacle.
Then, beginning late last month, for the first time in a half-century, India carried out an offensive against China, taking back high ground the Chinese recently grabbed. China's forces were surprised when Indian troops mounted their attempt to retake strategic high points. Stunned Chinese soldiers retreated. .....

The Chinese army of Mao soundly routed the American divisions it opposed in Korea. In fact, it drove the Americans south and nearly off the peninsula.
There are untold numbers of American graves still on the north Korean roadsides. President Trump received 7 or so but there are literally hundreds, perhaps thousands still there
It did this feat of arms because of numbers and inferior American general ship. The Americans given good generals and proper arms then defeated the north Korean army.
So I believe there will be a redefining of the American currency, but it will be reactive rather than part of a plan against China.
We have been able to live on the credit card for decades now because we are the world's currency, the world superpower, the world's largest economy, which has avoided inflation by shipping manufacturing to China and importing cheap labor across the Mexican border and because we are the reserve currency of the world.
Those days inevitably will come to an end and when they do, America will do well to come out of it strong.
Agree!
The ideology of racial inferiority arose as a defense against the moral condemnation of slavery being contrary to the god given equality of man. It obviously was not a founding principle of the Republic.
The deep state is very deep indeed
Well, it depends on the context, the space and time.
China can commit millions against thousands.
Sir, you’re so wrong. I have served in Japan for decades and they are the most tolerant people on earth. It’s their culture to treat foreigners as guests and that’s not racist.
wasn’t this the intent of the euro? That was a failure because germany and greece have 2 differing cultures. I suspect the same thing would happen again if USA tried to have the same currency as argentina
most of our population is utterly clueless about the realities in any country outside our own.
There were no white slaves.

Yes there were. They were called politely “indentured servants”. Other whites were taken as slaves by the local Indian tribes.
The Americans given good generals and proper arms then defeated the north Korean army.
>>Howstupid are their American employers to hire those terrible coders by the millions<<
They are so cheap it does not matter. It not so much as the code is crap but it unsustainable. A CIO does not care if code says: a=a+1;a=a+1;a=a+1 or a=a+3. It gets the job done of adding 3 to a. But the first is a lot more difficult to maintain.
As I have discovered on more than a few upgrades where the original was done by Indians: the cheap comes out expensive. Sometimes more expensive than the original implementation.
I have 40 years of experience so I know of what I speak.
That’s all they have Bert. Warm bodies. Canon fodder. Most chinese soldiers can’t do 6 push ups. The Indians ate their lunch in that border dust up. They are missing two key elements. Training and the eye of the tiger. They don’t know how to make that other poor SOB die for his country.
China can commit millions against thousands.
What will China do next?
Here’s a hint:

>>The fact is US began as a racist country with practice of slavery of the negro race. <<
Factually incorrect. There were slaves of many races.
Where do you get your “history,” msnbc? du? cfnn? Recent university grad?
Hey there gaijin!
Canon fodder. Most chinese soldiers cant do 6 push ups.
