China is plainly in a better position than the USSR was in terms of the US literally depending upon them for a ton of our goods.
Some bougie folks told me that the US could cut China off entirely and reindustrialize within a few years and only a minor recession.
Fuckin lol
USSR was 1/3 the GDP of shartmerica wheen it collapsed, China is already like 4/5 the GDP
Also bear in mind that China's "GDP" is much more reflective of productive capacity than America's exaggerated "GDP" is. They have reached a level of industrial parity with the West that the Soviets never came close to, and show no signs of stopping or even slowing down
And even then China has not even caught up the Per-Capita GDP that the Soviet Union accomplished in the 1980s.
The Soviet Union was an economic and industrial powerhouse.
Soviet GDP/capita in 1980 was $5800/person, in 1991 $9200, Chinese GDP/capita is now roughly $10,500 per capita, per the world bank.
Yeah talk to me when you fuck up and become another capitalist austerity state while the DPRK uses Juche necromancy to resurrect mecha-Hoxha and win the world revolution.
If I was in a cold war I would simply just not collapse. I'm just built different.
you're telling me they've learned from history? well they've got our number then
Surprisingly fair article from
China's resident CIA mouthpiece.a paper that often has shit takes that align with U.S. interests.Edit: becuase too-hyperbolic phrasing
Are you sure you are talking about SCMP? At worst they have controversial shit takes sometimes but CIA mouthpiece is CNN territory from my understanding.
What you said is more what I meant, I was just being too edgy for my own good.
Yeah you're right, I edited my take to be less hyperbolic.
