    Maybe the US and NATO must stop aiding Ukraine if they seeks good relations with China?

      I guess the US should have just let Imperial Japan take China since apparently now all you need to do is want to grab territory real bad and that is enough justification.

            At the very end you will just end up justifying it telling yourself “if I didn’t do it, maybe they do it to me” everything is sunshine and rainbows until anyone have enough power to fuck up someone else WO consequences. It’s just human nature maybe not just human but the price of being alive.

          “It’s always been justified and besides, look how they do it” is how institutions like slavery get perpetuated.

            Yeah, without taking responsibility, accepting consequences, owning up to one’s actions and failures, facing the actual shame , etc ; there’s no way anyone would change their behaviour and erroneous ways.

      Maybe China should aid Ukraine. And Palestine and Global South countries being invaded. They could free Tibet, and not attack Taiwan, Philippines, Vietnam etc while they’re at it.

      We really shouldnt be trading with China IMO, better to start cutting off that gangrenous limb as soon as possible.

          Then move production to somewhere else. Mexico and Central America would be my first choice, hell its probably cheaper too since ya save on transport expenses.

              And how much of that is actual price versus, subsidized price? China has a geopolitical interest in maintaining the status qou, but based of the gradual shift towards places like Vietnam I suspect the only reason its still cheaper in China is subsidies. And well I dont factor that into my math, mostly cause its a soft factor that can be eliminated.

                  Industrial subsidies, they are pretty standard but as I understand it China is rather generous with them. But when China runs into problems I dont think they are solvent enough to keep them up.
