    oh China…maybe it’s time to give them some kind of warning shot. We also gave Russia a pass on many things and we all know how this has turned out…

    a good, old fashioned fuck around and find out…

      Needs to be an economic warning shot. Let’s stop letting China build everything and ship it all over the world.

        Lol too late for that. They have already surpassed the USA in everything except military spending, prisoner population, and opioid deaths.

          And one of the main reasons they haven’t surpassed the US in military spending is because CCP controls the entire production there and don’t pay 600% markup on anything military

            More production with less money. Almost like GDP isn’t a good measure to compare economies?

    This is as close as you can come to committing an act or war while still leaving yourself enough room to wiggle out of it. Apparently the world is going to wait until the Chinese navy actually kills someone before doing something.

    Like I said in another thread, it seems like the CCP has settled on the opposite of the big stick diplomacy of the US.

    In polite company I like to call it small stick diplomacy.
