    “the Chinese”

    Not China (the country), not the PRC (the country), but “the Chinese.”

    Because that’s what the US ambassador thinks of Chinese people.

    If that is the case, you probably should have thought about that 50 years ago when “you” allowed and encouraged industries to out-source. But it’s too late now.

      China: we’re going to become a manufacturing machine for the world, but we’re going to use your investment, technology, and infrastructure to build up our country and eventually overtake you.

      US capitalists: hah, yeah, sure. Would you look at these profit margins!?

      well, the US could do a revolution, nationalize what’s left of the country and then start rebuilding. that would prevent this ghastly future…

      but nah, they’re gonna ride neoliberalism to the grave.

        Well, we can work towards changing that, and judging by this article we’re well on the way it seems.

      But assuming that one has to be dominant, which would you choose of the ones that are realistic possibilities?

            All 3 have, what are you smoking? The US is one of the most imperialistic nations on Earth. That’s not to say Russia and China aren’t either, but to pretend the US didn’t forcibly annex territories is to wash away the centuries of genocide and Conquest as “okay” because it was done successfully and more than a few years ago.

              Do you consider things which happened hundreds of years ago to be of the same weight as things that are happening as we speak?

                Do you consider things which happened merely decades ago, even up to hundreds of years ago, have lasting impact on generations that follow?

                If you successfully do Imperialism, such that the colonized can no longer resist, does that erase the sin?
