All my ancestors had arrived in North America by 1680; most of them got here
between 1630 and 1650. The time period from 1630 and today is, in my mind,
the full known history of my family, and what has become my nation, the
United States.
To the Chinese, that whole time period is a moment of awkward transition.
So anybody thinking we're going to show the Chinks what's what is inhaling a
bit too deeply of their own bullshit. Sure, they've had a few confused and
weak centuries, but they feel like they're getting their feet back under
them now and given the context they have to refer to, I wouldn't argue
against their conclusions.
One thing they've learned from one of their recent (in their estimation)
great-thinkers, is that the best way to win a war is to maneuver so as not
to actually fight a war. And that's what they're doing. They've used our
insatiable greed to subsidize their production capacity to the point they
need to do some pruning. They've known all along that their having built up
a huge surplus of intrinsically worthless US promises to pay was without
value in and of itself, but they could use those S&H Green Stamps to buy
advantages in parts of the world the US doesn't value because we don't want
anything from them right this second, like most of Africa and the shithole
nations of Asia. They've done this on our dime.
Now the US wants to pick a fight over industries the US exported to China,
to cash in on the 8:1 differential in labor costs. Okey-Dokey big shooter;
go right the fuck ahead, say the Chinese. Manufacturing on a large scale in
the US will rebound just as soon as US workers figure out how to live on
the $5,000/yr. their Chinese and Mexican counterparts live on rather than
the current $40,000/yr.; or when US executives figure out how to live on 10x
what their workers make rather than the 400x to which they've become
accustomed.
Meanwhile, knowing this was coming, the Chinese have put aside their long-
standing rivalry with Russia, and solidified their relationships with Iran,
South Asia, and the oil-producing nations. They've been buying gold as if
they had a plan for it. They've been expanding bilateral trade with every
nation on Earth the US hasn't had time to pay attention to. They've been
setting up a global payment system that rather specifically doesn't include
the US.
The basis of America's beef with China is that China doesn't allow the US to
set the value of China's currency. To which the Chinese say, "um, yeah,
duh..."
China would rather not get into a trade war with America, because it's
tedious, but since they've seen this coming for years, they will have
positioned themselves so aggressive moves by the US will push China to where
they want to go, and will push the US to where we really wish we hadn't
gone.
Best for us little people who have to survive off our work to use our S&H
Green Stamps to pay off the things we're buying on a payment plan, to buy
things that work and will last, get to know our neighbors, and get very
realistic about what we need, as opposed to what we like to have. It's
coming soon, and as our Empire and economic system collapses, we're
hastening the reckoning despite ourselves. | m*******n 发帖数: 4186 | 2 关键时候还是需要你洋爹来加持才有信心嘛
