By 2040 or something it's almost gauranteed they will have 3-4x the Total US GDP. There is nothing you can do about it. Even if there's a insane fuck up and they "only" end up 2x more then wtf will the US do with defense spending? It's going to spend 6% of GDP if China spends 3% just to compete? It will bankrupt itself.
And if right now China with slightly lower total GDP than the US can basically dominate economically in nearly every single non-Birdshit country on the planet then just imagine how that will be when they are 2-4x times total GDP. It will be insane. Around 2000, most of SE Asia had the US as their biggest trading partner now every single one has China. That is just going to grow and grow.
The US by 2040 is basically going to be as economically powerful as Japan is right now (US right now had 4x Japan's GDP)
No one in the US can fathom this. They are too arrogant. They don't care about policy or facts. Most of the anti-China BS is just grounded in domestic politics really, not realistic foreign policy thinking. And it's heavily tied to white nationalism and this idea its unfair if a non-Birdshit country becomes so powerful.
Just LOL @ these fat idiots. They have no clue how bad it will get for them.

All of U.S. policy, especially those related to Covid-19 and soon to be Orwellian policies around climate change, are designed to curtail freedom and liberty - but why? Because the elites understand that in order for US to even have a shot at maintaining economic & military hegemony, let alone secure the number 2 spot for the next century, we must have a society that is as easily governed/controlled as do the Chinese. They admire this greatly and appreciate it's effectiveness and efficiency as compared to our individualist heritage.
The Internet of Things + the Internet of Bodies + Freedom as a Service are all elements of this plan to remove these structural inefficiencies

Everything you know about China needs to be seen through two lenses simultaneously:
The Chinese constantly lie about their capabilities in order to present their country as strong and capable and ready to take the lead from the United States going forward.
The American news media constantly lies about Chinese capabilities in order to fan the flames of war and because their sources at the DOD/deep state want to make sure there's a reason for budgets to be renewed and increased by Congress.
So what's the reality? The Chinese are improving, but they're still a second tier power. They need everything to go in their favor over the next 30-50 yrs if they want a shot to be number one, while also needing the United States to keep making mistakes like it has with Afghanistan and Iraq. The more likely scenario is that China's growth falters due to increased debt, their geopolitical aspirations backfire increasing costs abroad and at home for Chinese, etc.

"Yeah we had to use CHOPSTICKS and we couldn't even get FENTANYL."
What are people you know saying? I've been all over China and it's 180. It's clean, safe, and there's no nigs. I got drunk in random cities and wandered around at 3 am without a care. Meanwhile, there's certain parts of my own city I don't go to after sundown because I'm not black.
On a macro level, it's inevitable. China has 4x the people the US has, with a ruling party that cares to advance its own people. By contrast, the US is a corpse that jews and libs are feeding off of like vultures and eventually it's going ot be picked clean, and all that will remain is strung out birdshits high on fent and meth and ghetto nigs killing each other over "turf" why Juan and Jose do whatever menial jobs remain for $10/hr.

Meh, last time I checked, China was a net importer of proteins/nitrogen, usually in the form of Brazilian or American soybeans.
I remember driving by a nitrogen-fixing facility in Brazil during a due diligence trip and one of the guys in the car with me pointed to it and said, “we make Chinese people there.” The nitrogen that ultimately gets transformed into proteins was fixed at the plant, used to fertilize soybeans, and exported to China. Rumor had it that in some cities in China, half of the nitrogen or more in people’s bodies were fixed in that Brazilian plant. I haven’t been able to look at Chinese grad students the same way since then.
If the Chinese people literally have to be manufactured in Brazil, how can they ever be a true world power

This poast should be the end of the thread. What America will look like in 2050:
45% white
13% black
7% Asian
35% Hispanic, mixed, and other
Whites will have a median age in the early 50s in 2050 and will be largely out of the workforce. America is going to be in bad shape.

Nobody knows what will happen but
- they have pretty much always had the worlds largest population but never previously ascended to even first tier power status until now. Why?
- they have no cultural influence among global cultural elite whereas the US and greater Anglosphere/five eyes countries has basically a monopoly.
- they don’t really use the internet. They use the Xi internet
- they don’t really have property rights
- do they even want it?

Remember when azn Sonic Youth used to “pwn” white Americans by talking up black men in some homoerotic proxy war trying to convince us we’re a bunch of low-T cumskins? And how people would laugh at him for doing it? He literally would seem to forget he was azn and just go hard for days about how blacks were so alpha. Really sick stuff.
Yea, anyway, Tommy is the 2021 keeper of that flame. A disaffected Indian who got booted from the West and is now LARPing like he’s Chinese to try to convince us we’re shit. It’s just as pathetic as Mr. Huang but he’s been doing it for so long we seem to abide it more.

This is how delusional TT is. He thinks the CIA did this.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/1740_Batavia_massacre
Only Chinese propaganda could make TT believe this sort of thing. Everyone else knows this is as fundamental as the sunni/shia split and has nothing to do with amerikkka. Jews are the jews of Europe and America, Indians are the jews of Africa, and Chinks are the jews of the SE Asia. That's all you really need to know. Indonesians can see through this because these chinks invariably refuse to become muslims, but TT sincerely believes this isn't true and that chink indonesians convert to islam at the drop of a hat.
TT has been infected by chinese thinking in part because CHINKS own all the English language newspapers in these countries, in addition to the newspapers of record. Kompas is run by CHINK catholics. All of these countries have Chink run media, chinks control the cell phone networks and the apps people use, and chinks steer investment to countries like Cambodia, Indonesia and Philippines that take unlubed Chinese cock deepest and without complaint. TT sees all this chinese investment and thinks "oh wow look at how benevolent China is!" when they're actually just paying off the former Khmer Rouge (themselves led by ethnic-Chinese and Chinese allies) who run Cambodia today.
If we were smart we would be best buddies with Vietnam right now, as close as we are with the UK. China has a bad record of success in its recent conflicts with Vietnam, and Vietnamese hate China more than any other people in the region. For them it's not just about controlling their own domestic Chinese in South Vietnam (though best believe they do that), but getting revenge for China's history of literal subjugation and cultural genocide against Vietnam.

that is really the ONLY reason in these discrete indsutries the US can even pretend to contain china, otherwise they wld be 2-3x generations ahead of US and even with this shit i find it impossibel for boeing to compete long term against COMAC, at some point they will figure that shit out and just decimate boeing

We could do serious damage to China by forming an airtight intelligence-sharing alliance with Vietnam. This intelligence sharing agreement would have go beyond what we are doing with AUUKUS. We would have to work as closely with them on China as we do with UK on Russia. This is because Vietnam can "read" China like no other country that isn't already allied with China. Furthermore, they are the only country we can trust to NEVER sell us out to China. The racial element means we just don't have to worry about Kim Philby types.
This would require only that we extend our nuclear umbrella to Vietnam, and that we have all of this run by military intelligence/SOCOM with zero CIA involvement. This should be a lot less controversial than defending Taiwan if we sell it right. One way to pitch this is that America owes Vietnam a very very large debt. We can run documentaries for the next 50 years showing leaked internal footage of vietnamese kids on fire. There are some other propaganda narratives we can try out, but I think this one dovetails well with this arrangement because it would explain why all our diplomats are coming from SOCOM and not CIA.

Look at where Kamala was during the Afghan withdrawal. She was at the embassy in Hanoi, after making statements bashing China in Singapore.
This was at the same time I was telling the bort the CIA was being put in a subordinate role in Afghanistan. People still have a hard time accepting this, but I have seen zero evidence that refutes my theory.
Here's what I think happened: CIA was MAF about DoD leaving Afghanistan, and DoD assumed they would try a false flag incident that would keep troops stationed at the airport past August 31. That's why you had all those random closures and reconfigurations of the perimeter outside the airport during the first week.
At the same time, Kamala is at the embassies in these SE Asian countries. I believe she was there because at that very moment, CIA was being moved out of the embassies. CIA would have been equally pissed about this and, AGAIN, would have though about doing a false flag incident.
HOWEVER, the logic of false flag fails when the VP is in town talking about China. If CIA had pulled off a false flag while Kamala was in Hanoi, Vietnam and the USA would have blamed it on China, and the whole world would believe it because Kamala was bashing China when it happened. Vietnam would have instant worldwide sympathy, and what's China going to say? "The CIA did it?"
I think what we saw that week was perfect, chess-like use of the VP to pull off a big diplomatic victory. Unfortunately, China responded by showing off missiles that make our "nuclear umbrella" irrelevant. We can't actually offer Vietnam the protection it needs to do this for us.

You might notice that her statement praising the embassy staff refers only to their past work. She says nothing to indicate these staff are involved in ongoing work, or will even be at the embassy the next day.
This is exactly how you talk to people you're shitcanning in government: you thank them for the good work they did. These people might well have been driven to the airport just moments hearing this speech. Some may have defected. Some may have already defected before the speech was given.

China faces a demographic collapse due to its one child policy - good luck having a dynamic economy with one worker per retiree. Add in the fact they are sitting on a $45T debt bomb and they are surrounded by historical enemies who hate them and I fail to see how they dominate this century minus some unexpected technological advance.

Washington (CNN)The CIA is overhauling how it trains and manages its network of spies as part of a broader effort to transition away from 20 years of counterterrorism wars and focus more closely on adversaries like China and Russia, multiple sources familiar with the move tell CNN.
After two decades of intense paramilitary action against Islamist terror groups, some former officers and intelligence overseers say the CIA needs to get back to the kind of traditional, quiet tradecraft needed to collect intelligence against complex nation-states — in particular China, which senior officials have openly acknowledged presents the agency with its biggest challenge.
In theory, the change will allow the CIA to better staff remote outposts seen as critical to the China mission — places like west Africa, for example, that have a lot of Chinese infrastructure investment but are seen as too far away from the action to be a desirable assignment, sources said.
It will also help ensure that the agency is developing officers with the appropriate expertise over the long term. Beyond just hiring more Mandarin speakers and investing in technology, the move cuts to the very heart of the CIA: its human intelligence collectors.
This relatively obscure personnel management shift could have significant impact on the lives of spies, particularly earlier in their careers. Since a few years after 9/11, officers have had more freedom to move around to different assignments within the agency — rather than have their trajectory scripted.
Made at a time when the CIA needed to staff America's growing war zones, the post-9/11 change was controversial among officers. While it gave them more flexibility, some former operations officers say the result was that officers received less mentorship and thoughtful career development as a result.
Under the new policy, the CIA's so-called mission centers — the units within the agency focused on particular geographic regions or transnational challenges — will have more control over the assignments and language and other training that an operations officer receives over the long term.

Although there is some flexibility in the new policy, sources say — officers won't be locked into one geographical area exclusively — in general they won't become a free agent until later in their careers.
With some variations, the new policy is a return to how the agency managed the careers of its young officers before the counterterrorism wars.
"The agency appears in many ways to be trying to replicate some of the things that worked well before the counterterrorism wars dominated everyone's focus," said Thad Troy, a former operations officer who served as chief of station in several European capitals. He cautioned he did not have knowledge of the policy change.
Tying officers to a geographic area or functional issue "serves a worldwide mission better because you were developing and perfecting that geographical, issue — or in some cases, specific tradecraft expertise — and you were giving officers a place to grow, develop, and establish mentorship," Troy said.

"In general we are always looking for ways to develop our workforce professionally," a CIA spokesman said in a statement. "Our people are our top priority." The agency declined to comment on the specifics of any personnel management change.
The change is not just about countering China, sources say, which CIA Director Bill Burns has listed as among his top priorities for the agency and has come to dominate public conversation about the agency's future.
"We are very focused on China these days, although I will hasten to add that in all of our conversations about China, we made clear that we are the Central Intelligence Agency, we are not the Chinese Intelligence Agency," Deputy Director David Cohen said at a recent intelligence conference.
But, he added, "what we've come to realize is that we need to really enhance and synchronize our efforts around China."
'A Hard Target'
The Chinese Communist Party is what intelligence professionals call a "hard target" — difficult for the CIA to penetrate, either through digital means or by recruiting human spies.
Current and former intelligence officials say that US intelligence inside China — particularly human intelligence that is the CIA's bread-and-butter — is frustratingly poor, for a myriad of reasons.
The new policy shift, former officials say, could help combat that challenge by building geographical experts over the long term — and helping field them in the right places with the right tradecraft.
"For us, it's important for the overall mission to have expertise in a geographic area or on an issue," Troy said. "You don't acquire that in six months, but over the course of working in a region or on an issue for 10 years or more."
Over the course of several years beginning in 2010, Beijing effectively decimated the CIA's network of recruited agents, killing or imprisoning over a dozen sources over two years, according to The New York Times. Such networks take years to develop and sources say it's unlikely that they have recovered.
Some critics believe that the agency's focus on counterterrorism missions — which became a part of almost every officer's career and often had officers operating from armored convoys in countries where they spoke little of the local language — left its traditional spying chops anemic.
"As the counterterrorism mission expanded, the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence assesses that the IC treated traditional intelligence missions as secondary to counterterrorism," said a 2020 report on the intelligence community's abilities to counter China. "The inattention of the 1990s to strategic and emerging threats remained largely unreversed."
Meanwhile, the rapid proliferation of big data and ubiquitous surveillance technology has made the job of intelligence collectors infinitely more difficult. Gone are the days when a CIA operations officer could simply pick up a new passport and assume a new identity in a different country, senior officials have acknowledged publicly.
"China has emerged as our most significant and daunting challenge," said Jennifer Ewbank, the CIA's Deputy Director for Digital Innovation, at a recent intelligence conference. "The plans and intentions of despots and terrorists — the things that have yet to happen — are increasingly more difficult to uncover by traditional means."

Still, senior officials insist the agency has not taken its eye off the ball when it comes to counterterrorism. Burns, speaking on Monday at The Wall Street Journal CEO Council Summit, listed China, Russia, Iran and "continuing counterterrorism challenges that we don't get to neglect or walk away from" when asked what keeps him up at night.
The change in how the CIA manages its operations officers is one of many it has undertaken to boost its spying and analysis capabilities targeting China.
The agency recently stood up a "China Mission Center" — the only one focused on only one country, rather than a region of the world. Burns has also said publicly that he is exploring "forward-deploying" China specialists, placing them in countries around the world where the US and China both operate.
In addition to the new mission center, the agency has also added a weekly meeting with the Burns focused exclusively on China, Cohen said at a recent intelligence conference. It is also allocating more of its budget to the problem, Cohen said.
The Office of the Director of National Intelligence said in December that US spy agencies had increased their China-related spending by almost 20 percent in the last fiscal year.
"We need specialists with deep linguistic and operational expertise to drive forward our collection targets," said one former officer who cautioned that they did not have knowledge of the policy change.
"That doesn't mean people shouldn't have different experiences, it just means we have a mission to execute and that doesn't always include what we desire individually."
