It wasn’t all that long ago Biden said come on man.
“China is going to eat our lunch? Come on, man — They can’t even figure out how to deal with the fact that they have this great division between the China Sea and the mountains in the West. They can’t figure out how they’re going to deal with the corruption that exists within the system. They’re not bad folks, folks … They’re not competition for us.”
Well it seems China in Aug launched a nuclear capable hyper sonic glider that circled the globe leaving our military planers dumb founded.
Meanwhile our military planers are more concern about being woke.
I’ve been saying for years that we need to take the PLA more seriously.
They’re getting better every day. Better training, better selection of personnel, their indigenous development capability has skyrocketed in the past twenty years. Their area denial capabilities are nothing to scoff at. In a war in their backyard, they’d be the most challenging opponent the US has fought since… funny enough, the PLA in the Korean War. They could actually fight the US to a stalemate. Can’t say that about anyone else without nuclear weapons being involved.
China is allowed to manufacture goods and pollute the world at sickening levels, where here in the US, those factories are held to pollution standards that in producing them, is much more expensive. Then OUR GOVERNMENT allows those goods to be sold here, killing our manufacturing. If China is eating our lunch, our government is their errand boy.
Don’t forget…we sent the virus to them through Fauci, along with a check for millions. What’s our government doing about that now that this pandemic has occurred that he helped create? Oh yeah…they pay him more than any other government employee.
…there’s a serious semi-conductor problem going on in the world?
TSMC leads the manufacturing of semiconductors in the world, as it dominates 28% of the market, which has made it the eleventh most valuable company in the world
the goal is to decouple from china. improving domestic manufacturing would be a great side effect of that, but to really improve it, we need a complete revision of the tax code.
