    This is a pretty great article lol

    Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo said Tuesday that the U.S. will rally allies in order to mount pressure on China, the world’s second-largest economy, an approach that differs from the “America First” policies pursued by President Joe Biden’s Republican predecessor, Donald Trump.

    Yeah this ones called “everybody last” gottem

    “If we really want to slow down China’s rate of innovation, we need to work with Europe.”

    It’s incredibly funny that people in the US just accept this kinda language; declaring your intention to pull a Tanya Harding is just something politicians can do (and they did it)

    semiconductors

    Hmm

    Last week, Biden met in person with the leaders of Australia, India and Japan at the White House to discuss shared concerns about China’s growing military and economic influence.

    The meeting of the Quadrilateral Security Dialogue, or Quad — as the grouping of the four major democracies is called — came just a week after Biden announced a new security pact with the U.K and Australia, a move that angered Beijing.

    I would only add that, on especially quiet nights when Mars is in retrograde, you can actually hear The Great Democracies harmonizing

    I’ve realized that the US is probably the largest anti-democratic institution in Earth (in this case, it has decided that 1B+ people are actually not allowed to chart their own economic path)

      Literally any remotely smart countries will simply use this to extract more benefit from the US before doing exactly the same amount of trade with China.

      The stupidest ones - like :ukkk: & :aus-delenda-est: - will kneel before the US with their gruel bowls out begging for trade deals or military investment, and get basically fuck all, as is already happening.
