The China Thread (Threat)

I couldn't find a better spot to post this and while it's not China/Taiwan per se, it is imperial China:
The Takeover: China Is Building Enormous Self-Sustaining Chinese Cities All Over The African Continent

It's not necessarily news to some here and, although it's an InfoWars article, it's an interesting read. Even if speculative, it speaks volumes to China's intents and potential. They are not bound by the social and political constraints of the West. Their actions present them with potentially huge leverage and even larger dividends.

Yep. Concentration camps, infanticide, organ harvesting, and unabated colonialism. Chicom's just being Chicom pieces of shit. Although, according to the Chicoms and radical left we're the evil empire. O_o

Hate to admit it, but the Chicoms school us when it comes to exerting soft power. The advances they've made in the past 30 years are no joke.

What they have done in the past is given a monetary loan and then had a country use that loan for the Chinese to come build a port there. After that country defaults on the loan they take back possession of it and are now port owners in that country. It's a pretty smart play.

So the Chinese are going for an economic victory

No, their economy is a sham. Right now they're making inroads wherever they can and raping the shit out of any natural/economic resources before the rest of the world wises up. So far it's working though... O_o

At best, they're trying not to fracture.

Irrelevant. If they don't have an economic victory then they have a diplomatic victory based on economics. You could argue the former helps minimize the latter, but at the end of the day they will hold those locations. We can call it whatever, but they will still have the land.

Just because they 'have' the land doesn't mean they're going to be able to hold it. Considering how they're acting, I can totally see local populations getting fed up and having Chinese style BBQ.

Add on: I don't see China being able to project fighting forces far from it's shores. With their economy being a sham, I doubt they can afford to do much flexing. Sabotaging China's operations, killing their operatives, and destroying PRC projects abroad, isn't as monumental as it seems.

Found a cute YouTube video on the history of China and the chain of events that have led us towards becoming adversaries.


It is long, but it covers a range of history and current events that would take much longer to read and research.

Add On: The last chapter of the video is fairly critical of President. While I disagree with the presenters view on Trump, I think he does a pretty good job of quickly explaining China's rise to power, view of the world, and their history.

Serious question. Is Rogan the new Jon Stewart, does he have the same influence?

I'd say Rogan has way more influence than Stewart. One of the reasons I'm annoyed he's going to Spotify is because of how huge his audience is on youtube. I've never seen anything like it where on a livestream you'll get 50k watching within minutes of the broadcast starting. It's rather an amazing phenomenon. Each podcast episode gets millions of listens.

Absolutely agree. And Rogan doesn't seek out a lot of his guest's, unless it's of personal interest to him. The majority seek him out, due to his influence.
