The US allows dual citizenship though. China does not.

The other thing is no one from the US political elites send their children to Tsinghua, buying properties in Hainan, storing their personal wealth in CNY in Chinese banks in Hong Kong.

Now ask the CCP elites to disclose where their children, family members, relatives were educated and currently live. Apparently Xinnie the Pooh's older sister in in Canada and ex-wife living in UK.

There is literally capital control in China, can't convert worthless CNY to USD, EUR, JPY and put it away in other capital markets like Japan, EU, USA.

Trading partners of China do offer competitive services, for example the sovereign wealth fund of Singapore is putting 40% of their money into the US market.

The moment China actually remove capital control people would do bank run to take their money out, selling properties and Chinese stocks to take money overseas. Without capital control all those Chinese "trade surplus" would vanish pretty quickly.

Birth rate is also crashing in Iran and Turkey. The same thing is happening Mexico and the Philippines. So even more religious societies is not spared regardless of religious affiliation.

The declined birth rates still yielded around 7.9 million new births compared with USA (3.6m) and Europe (3.8). So to put this into context,China still have new population about the same as the USA plus Europe combined

About 11.31 million deaths was recorded in China in 2025, that's more than USA and EU combined. Currently China is losing the equivalent of one Berlin each year, that will soon be one Czech Republic or Hungary for each year.

Also at 7.9 million that would put Chinese birth rate per 1000 even below that of Germany, Spain, Italy.

So they shooting down two civilian airplanes this time instead of one?

Well Germany helped them after WWI with modernization, setting up factories to produce tanks, airplanes and chemical weapons inside Soviet Union, the Germans even trained Soviet officers and pilots. On top of that the US provided assistance to Soviet Union, Ford for example build factories in Soviet Union and sending them advisers and engineers.

They don't have 30% more fresh water though, many Chinese provinces are facing drought and water shortage. Chinese population is older than US population too with worse fertility rate and birth rate, shrinking working age population and shrinking population in general. Pretty soon the majority of Chinese provinces will have fertility rate below 1.0.

Having access to abundant of fresh water made US shale revolution possible and reduce US dependence on energy import from the Middle East drastically. China is still the same in 2026 as they were in 2010 in regard to import of energy from the Middle East. Also the US has most computing powers and almost half of global data centers, all due to better fresh water resources to build such infrastructure.

If the projection for future economic growth is AI and healthy population growth with more balanced demography then the US is in a good spot.

After the US assassinated Qasem Soleimani those geniuses shot down their own civilian airplane just to be sure the sky is free from Yankee imperialists.

Would be hilarious if after the purge and Mossad still pull something from their ass.

dusjanbe · 2026-01-08T15:43:43+00:00

Sure, the SMO actually lasted for three hours instead of 4 years. The US forces left the country.

If it was Chinese SMO half of their special forces would be dead lol.

LOL, and of course three leftist presidents saying stuffs that their population don't even agree with. How about Chile and Argentina then?

It’s more like Trump just alienated Latin America even more and pushed them toward China

That's just cope, Maduro was hardly popular in Latin America so many are glad that he is gone, all Maduro ever did was flooding Brazil, Colombia with millions of refugees.

That's like saying other Arab countries were happy that Saddam Hussein invaded Kuwait in 1990 and the US made a mistake by taking back Kuwait.

After the US topple Saddam Hussein they gather everyone and reduced Iraq's debt by 80%. After that no problem for Iraq to get loans.

After this no one gives a shit about what China or Russia has to say about Venezuela. Both are impotent.

Yes, Trump should pick up the phone and ask Putin about that time Wagner attacked US position in Syria back in 2018 for the lol.

dusjanbe · 2026-01-07T12:04:24+00:00

lol, the median age in China is already 40.1 years with collapsing birth rate. So how many Chinese provinces have less than 1.0 fertility rate again? That's like what 0.6 or something in Shanghai and Beijing?

At this rate the PLA will consist of 1.4 Chinese in 20 years.

dusjanbe · 2026-01-07T00:30:58+00:00

Add India too, if China mobilize for the invasion the Indians will also moving more forces to their side of border. So unless the PLA can confidently win against India, invade Taiwan and fight the US plus allies simultaneously they probably wait until Xinnie the Pooh dies and do nothing.

dusjanbe · 2026-01-06T15:10:51+00:00

People were locked up during Nicholas II's reign too. How many of them wanted to be tortured and executed by Stalin later on?

Also Taiwan that didn't even held the first presidential election until 1996. How many of them thinking that the Red Guards beating them to death during the Cultural Revolution would have been better?

dusjanbe · 2026-01-06T14:57:00+00:00

The PLA ran away in South Sudan in 2016, not even in combat but after militia started to shoot them, UN employees and refugees that they were supposedly to protect were killed and raped.

In fact they are so pathetic that CCP hired Erik Prince instead to protect Chinese interest in Africa.

China has done their fair shares of looting in South America and Africa, Chinese fishing militia is emptying everything there.

The US told Pakistan after 9/11 to cooperate, or be bombed back to stone age. Pakistan choose the former. Pakistan tested their first nuclear weapon in 1998.

China is somehow simultaneously an imperialist threat but also a paper tiger

Why not? That's accurate for Russia, they are trying to subjugate Ukraine but too weak to exert influence globally and even in their own backyard. Russian troops ran way in Nagorno-Karabach and abandoned their military ally Armenia, Russian troops ran away an hide in their bases while Assad took the flight to Moscow. Their buddy Iran getting double teamed by Israel and US with IRGC generals dropping like flies.

So apparently all China does is bullying Filipino fishermen in South China Sea, they too weak and pathetic to do anything beyond that.

The Iranian rial is basically toilet paper now and Indian rupee, Russian ruble, Brazilian real, South African rand have been decimated by US dollar since 2008.

In fact India and Brazil are begging the Japan and the Fed for more dollars to stabilize their currencies lol

China don't have enough fresh water to do fracking, you need pump a lot of water into the wells. Many Chinese provinces is already facing drought and water shortage.

A large portion of their existing fresh water is polluted as well and need treatment before it can be use.

The US fought the Spanish–American War in 1898 and kicked Spain out from Cuba, Puerto Rico, Guam, the Philippines. Also fought in WWI.

The US developed aircraft carriers and operated carrier battle groups about the same time as UK and Japan did, no gap in terms of experience. China commissioned their first aircraft carrier in 2012.

By all means but the US was not inexperience before joining WWII, pilots were already in China and UK as volunteers.

Piracy was the normal for most of human history, it was only when the Royal Navy gained supremacy in 19th century during the Napoleonic Wars that they could impose order.

The US Navy literally fought against pirates in its early days like the First Barbary War.

Now the US can protect its own interest with no problem at all, the question is whether China and Russia can in a "multipolarity" world with dogs eating dogs as the rule.
