    No. Just because the US has become worse than before and China didn’t, even if the US closed in on how bad China is, that doesn’t make China better than the US. More reliable, yes, but not better.

      Reliability is a big part of a good trading partner. Also helps if you can be reasoned with.

        Cheap (slave) labor is also good for trade I guess. And an authoritarian regime is nice for stability.

          To be fair, dictatorships are brittle, they are 100% stable up until suddenly they collapse.

          Just look at assad.

        China seems to be lawful neutral. Much easier to deal with than USA’s current chaotic evil.

            Compared to USA, yes. Their own logic and code they follow.

                Doesn’t help that the stupid simple DnD system can’t possibly give a decent explanation of the differences between the USA and China.

                But yes, the USA is currently more threatening towards Europe and Canada than China is. The USA is also significantly more chaotic/unpredictable/unreasonable/insane.

      On which points do you think the current USA government is better than China’s one?

          It seems so since you disagreed with my initial comment.

            What I say is that we shouldn’t trade extensively neither with China nor the US. Fuck China, fuck the US.

              How do I put this: Being under China would suck, but it would still be drasticaly better as they don’t exterminate people out of sheer spite.

                The Uyghurs would disagree.

                Unless I’m misreading your comment.

              That’s a different point. The subject was which is a better partner currently.

                And the answer is they’re both bad. Sometimes, even if you ask “A or B?” the answer is neither.
