China pressured their cucky Hong Kong entity into backing out, but that was a dumb move, because it puts them in violation of their lease, from what I heard.
Every single Asian countries are like mini china. Their economies are essentially the same..
They also have limited real estate in an hyper overpopulated island chain.
Fukuzawa Yukichi, a member of the first Japanese Embassy to the US (and a really fascinating historical figure) actually commented on this in his autobiography.
This is true regime change. Trump is trying the most ambitious regime change in history. Usually when there is a giant reshaping of the global landscape there are massive amount of death and suffering.
If this is what does in the CCP's power then the moral of Trump's second term is that "Trade is power"
Trump's not an idiot. He's a smart guy. Just not galaxy brain smart.
Know what else? Fucking China fucks all the deep state assholes who have been taking their money. That whole model is at risk of crashing. He’s going to sever the raison d'etre of the inner circle cia guys
If China did, in fact, create 97% of all pharmaceuticals the US uses, China would have already fucked with us. They would have just shut the valve off and threatened to keep it off if Big Pharma didn't play nice.
Look what they do to their neighbors in the "south china" sea. They attack other countries ships with water cannons. Slowly take over smaller islands. Create their own man-made islands and put the military there.
Just be sure and do it when Congress isn’t in session so you don’t miss Corey Booker
We're China's biggest market, they can't just fuck with us, see the whole divestment discussion. They can jerk the Bongs around because there's no real consequences for them. What are the Bongs going to do?
"After hours" so normal daytime in fucking Japan?
People seem to forget that Black America was centralized around Chicago, Detroit, ect, because they were doing extremely well in manufacturing jobs, entering low middle class, with a wife a dog and 2.5 kids all going to church, through a means that worked extremely well for them. Industrial blue collar work made racism effectively non existent as both whites and blacks worked together on the same line, in the same business, and constantly interacting together while making America great.
two days and they're already bending the knee, Trump is in this for 400 days.
the problem is most people aren't paying attention, its like how tons of my friends wondered what was going to happen in season 2 of Game of Thrones or The last of us, most of them don't know the source material.
unironically the British let their libs fuck them, imagine how fucked the US would be if the British backed the confederates, but the abolitionists stopped that from happening. forcing a permeant north vs south would have meant way less money could go towards developing american industry and there would be continual bleeding kansas style events as both countries scramble for land. combine that with immigration policies and the north would have been super fucked. Having said that, having two americas probably wouldn't have helped during the world wars.
fuck that, i saw the same chart about 1980, there's a reason you could be a pathetic serial killer and still have enough money to live on your own and buy tons of murder supplies and drugs while working a crappy job. shit was genuinely that good in the US very recently.
well thats a huge fucking lie but ok
If you start reading about the care Japanese sword smiths worked with you would be forgiven for thinking that they were making armaments fit for a god.... nope they were just trying to deal with the fact that Japan doesn't have proper metallic ore they had iron sand to work with the whole folded a million times and quenched in the blood of a unicorn thing is them just trying desperately to separate out the impurities in the metal
