Why is it that the US is behaving with this ridiculous entitlement? 42 Reply 2 replies @PeaceAndLove303 18 hours ago Instead of spending money on wars and weapons manufacturing and invations of death and destruction China focused on industries and manufacturing and infrastructure of everyday needs also there infatructures, roads and high speed trains are kept well etc. Countries used China to produce cheap Products that West simply cannot match. The West simply closed there manufacturing industries and failed to keep up with infrastructure even let roads and buildings fall into disrepair. and has mass unemployment and have become reliant on China for every day goods. Without China the world wouldn't get there every day needs. Trying to increase export tax and sanctions etc on China will only affect western countries. We would think the USA and western countries would learn and start investing and producing from there own new built industries in there own countries. Fight war not wars, invest in industries and production and infastruture for workers wars dont work this is 2024 a world of nukes we live in. 31 Reply 1 reply @harryni2162 11 hours ago Is America a democracy or oligarchy moneyocracy? The fundamental systemic differences between USA and China are: 1 There's no slaughter, loot and genocide against natives and ethnic minorities in China, the 'I Can't Breathe' incident never happened in China. 2. There's no forced labouring, no child pornography, not even a forced tip in China. 3. China does not allow 1% of the population to own more than 90% of the population's total wealth. 4. China does not allow its people to die in mass shootings, let alone let school children get massacred by guns. 5. China does not allow the drug problem to plague the country and kill more than 100,000 people every year. 6. China has never invaded other countries or engaged in colonial expansion. 7. China never interferes in the internal affairs of other countries, and never seeks and fosters agents abroad. 8. China has never based its foreign policies on 'We lied, we cheated, we stole. It reminds you of the glory of the American experiment(Pompeo)'. 9. China has never sought to dominate the world, nor deprived any country (region) of its right of development. On the contrary, China shares development and prosperity with all trading partners. 10. China will never do anything to weaken or eliminate an opponent in order to win. Instead, China is focused on bettering itself. 11. China never fires missiles at wandering balloons, but heavily invests in better infrastructures so Chinese people can enjoy better life, safety and health. 12. China advocates and practices in 'Unite and Prosper', the US pursues and believes in 'Divide and Rule', one is constructive and one is destructive. 13. China always follows Confucius philosophy 'Seek common interest and reserve difference', the US prefers 'Either at the table or on the menu (Blinken)'. 14. In the end China walks the talk with a moral compass, the US talks the walk without any moral compass. Conclusion: China's system truly reflects 'of the people, by the people, for the people', the US system betrayed Abraham Lincoln's idea, it truly manifested 'of the 1% people, by the 1% people, for the 1% people'. 11 Reply @patriciaknight1332 17 hours ago Additionally China's education system is light years above US so is Russian education. 65 Reply 5 replies @randychurchill201 19 hours ago It was the US that moved manufacturing out of this country.

Reply @rogeroeyen 1 hour ago According the IMF, the world bank and the CIA, China already surpassed the US (27.63 vs 34.64 for 2023) in (PPP) GDP a few years ago (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_GDP_(PPP)). Nominal GDP is a flawed figure, because it doesn't take in account the purchasing power of the country and includes government spending. Wealth can only be measured by what you can buy from the money you earned. If a country wants to jack-up its nominal GDP, all it needs to do is spend more money. This would still be OK if the money spend is available and benefits it's economic growth, but the US doesn't have that money and needs to borrow ever greater amounts of money just to maintain the status quo, while a good portion of this money is squandered away on their military. Military spending doesn't create wealth for a country, but is doing rather the opposite. US federal debt is currently at 123.44% of nominal GDP and rising by a cool trillion every 100 days. This is unsustainable and the US will eventually pay a hefty price for this miss-management. 1 Reply @roberttouchette2823 20 hours ago Bout past time to change this. 1 Reply @jjpowell1468 9 hours ago (edited)
