China's fall is inevitable but it won't be due to public unrest. Their financial situation is a house of cards that's going to take us all down. There were serious concerns it would topple in 2012, but it didn't happen. It's coming though.
Column: Is China’s economy a house of cards?

I've been hearing the "China is done" mantra since the early 90's. I'm not convinced. To me, if nothing change, China is going to b the number one economic power in a few years, that's the reason the US launched the trade war.

Nah. Trump is the only candidate who can in 2016 who was promising this. Everyone else knew better. If Rubio, Jeb, Hillary, etc were president we wouldn't be doing this. It's regressive, stupid policy that the US cannot win.

The alternative was clear. TPP was designed specifically to carve Asian markets that would benefit us. Instead Trump shytcanned the plan...now Canada and others are feasting. It's just stupid shyt man.

The trade war is just a mean, and it's true that the entire US establishment did not agree with that mean. However, the idea that China needs to be stopped at this point is shared by the entire establishment. There is a reason why Trump is way more attacked for the Russia thing than his agressive behavior on China.

And it doesn't matter who's in charge, China is not Japan : slowing them down, if it's still possible, will come with a cost.

PHX
This is all about containing the rise of China. This is a battle the US cannot win. It is a very historic time to be alive right now. We are witnessing the dawn of a new unipolar world right now where the American Empire will no longer reign supreme. It may me time to learn Mandarin brehs
:blessed:
Facts
A plus no doubt, but that last sentence definitely won't be a necessity. Occidental hegemony will no longer reign uncontested. We're in the age of witnessing true competition. Capitalists should love this
(in name only and they won't :pachaha:)
