Finish us off once and for all, I beg of you. The American people beg for liberation at the hands of the Communist Party of China

    a part of me feels like a qanon as I wait for Xi's master plan to be unveiled. However, I then remember we know everything he is trying to achieve and can see him do it in real time, so it's actually just boring political reading rather than unfolding some fortune-cookie of ravings.

      Well, we can see and read it, but the American media and culturesphere is always going to be treating their plans as if they are top secret and world dominating in nature.

      Public knowledge (that is, with actual understanding of them) of the CPC long term plans in the US would be disastrous for US domestic policy as people realize "wait why aren't we doing that". I've seen it multiple times from libs to reactionaries alike if you can ever breach the anti-sino barrier

        I've watched the brainworms in action multiple times on an relative of mine. He admits China is absolutely owning the US with Belt and Road, their military policy is better in that they haven't invaded half the known world, and their public spending is better. But still america is somehow better and just needs to return to some better version of itself. This is a mystical better which does not exist in the 50's or 80's or any particular time. it just is.

        I was talking to some libs about the infrastructure plan recently, and they were blown away when I pointed out how small our plan was compared to what China has done and still plans to do. Just straight up unaware that spending $8 trillion in a year on roads and trains and ports is even an option, and basically forced them to agree that the US needs to redirect our massive military budget into peacetime projects in order to keep up.
