Chinese Demographics is something discussed much in this thread, and some of the solutions to it on the part of the CCP are starting to come into view. The most obvious one is they curtail abortion, as Stalin did from 1936 until his death in the USSR: If China is able to totally suppress...

And the evidence for this is what, exactly? You do realize the Chinese had extensive spies here in the First Cold War with no problem too, right?

And the evidence for this is what, exactly? The guy who got arrested swore an oath upon entering service, did he not?

We did that and literally had multiple Communist agents at all levels in the 1930s-1950s. Crazy thing is, people can lie.

The entire reason the "China is collapsing" thing was going around this Summer was because their economy entered deflation, not inflation:

Hundreds of thousands of additional deaths every year, due to the loss of Chinese Anti-Biotics alone. More broadly, the entire U.S. medical infrastructure could collapse which would result in the loss of millions of people each year. Expanding from there, the loss of Chinese supply chains for...

Remember the China is collapsing stuff from earlier in the Summer?

Not exactly: China has recently considerably ramped up its gold imports, in an effort to diversify the People's Bank of China's (PBOC) holdings, as well as reduce their reliance on the US dollar (DXY). This has also been seen as a move to prepare for the country's resurging industrial and...

Mostly because you have yet to actually quantify said point; you just keep repeating it over and over again without actually showing any evidence to support it. In effect, it's an unfalsifiable argument based on copium and the fact you essentially open up this post by complaining I didn't try to...

I have to respect, in a way, how open and blood thirsty you are about killing millions of Chinese civilians. Gotta love seeing how sociopathic the alleged "good guys" are! Gonna love it when, after the conflict, the United States-should it still exist itself-is treated like Nazi Germany and U.S...

What I find really telling is that, for a post that supposedly took you two hours, you only were able to provide one link and said link was not related to anything I had said in my previous post. You recognize, on some level, how little evidence there is for your position because you immediately...

It was tenuously held onto because no one recognized the LDPR; Russia and Ukraine going at it was the first time two internationally recognized nations with McDonalds did go to war with each other.

The "Golden Arches" was the update to the Democratic peace theory in that it replaced Democracy with McDonalds franchises in a country. I'm not joking either.

If you prefer, here's the Congressional Research Service saying much the same thing in terms of their naval capabilities in particular.

Noticeably, I did not make the claim anywhere we had been selling them to the Ukrainians, I was specifically talking about land based equipment which will be necessary for the Taiwanese to fight the PLA with once the PLAAF has cleared the skies and after the PLAAN has conducted the landings...

Nothing I've said is wrong, and in the event of war we're not going to be handing China their head; if the war is fought today, tens of thousands of American soldiers are going to die and China is going to take "Chinese Taipei". That's the plain, simple facts of it which the U.S. Armed Forces...

One of the more interesting aspects of the Russo-Ukrainian War is that it's disproved so much of the thinking that had become prevalent over the last 15 years in terms of warfare on a domestic level. Low fertility, aging population? Didn't prevent this war. The "Golden Arches" Hypothesis, which...

I'm pretty will convinced a lot of the lockdowns China has been doing the past year are essentially case test runs; we've known for awhile they been sanction proofing their economy, same as the Russians. See this Foreign Policy article, New York Times, and the Guardian. In the long run, I'm not...

This year and next are probably going to be the absolute best time to do it, the U.S. military is in shambles, military stocks throughout NATO are depleted and will need years to rebuild. Russia in Ukraine has effectively tied down most of the main NATO formations too. There is very, very little...
