Guest pocketrockets Posted August 11, 2017 Report Share Posted August 11, 2017 So I should mark you down as China being an ally of the US? that said no, they are not an ally, they are a neutral enemy... no interest in armed conflict ATM but certainly a drive and desire to steal the #1 spot in the world economy and military power... is like China said, if the US and Korea attack 1st, they will not allow it... they will defend NK IF NK attacks first they will not interfere once US and Korea repspond...

ACH Posted August 11, 2017 Report Share Posted August 11, 2017 Ally. They give us all our cheap crap. Saudis are head choppers. US doesn't give a damn about human rights and China is far from the worst. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingRevolver Posted August 11, 2017 Report Share Posted August 11, 2017 So I should mark you down as China being an ally of the US?No, not necessarily. China trying to play both sides of everything. So they can be both a friend and foe at certain points. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingRevolver Posted August 11, 2017 Report Share Posted August 11, 2017 Foe. The Chinese have forgotten who saved them from the Japanese in world war 2.Who cares... that's irrelevant. If we start playing that game... U.S. forgot they backed terrorists vs. the Soviet Union in the 80s. White people forgot they slaughtered Natives, moved in, and now complain about "illegals." So the whole "we saved them 50 years ago" angle is always a humorous one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sol Aristatel Posted August 11, 2017 Report Share Posted August 11, 2017 I don't think either answer is correct. Not our friend, but not necessarily a current foe. But could be if things break a certain way in the near future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So the whole "we saved them 50 years ago" angle is always a humorous one. Backing the Chinese was correct at the time as was backing the terrorists against the Soviet Union. Whites slaughtered Indians, not ALL the Indians, "White people forgot they slaughtered Natives" is somewhat mis-leading. Not ALL whites are complaining about illegals. The law is the law, when you pick and choose which ones to enforce chaos ensues. If the law is useless or outdated or even disliked, there is a mechanism to change it. But all current laws on the books should be enforced. No need to forget what happened 50 years ago KR,...

mikeman Posted August 12, 2017 Report Share Posted August 12, 2017 China is not an friend, but certainly not a foe, they are a rising nation that is posturing for influence in the world. The truth is that the future belongs to them, not us, their military is no match for us right now, but that doesn't matter because we aren't going to war against them. Great power stems from economic might, in 20 years they will be the largest and most dominant economy, america with it's demographic shifts and aging population will slowly decline, that's ok, that's the nature of the world.

China has a long way to go before it's anywhere near the USA in terms of economic might. All the European nations combined have a lowed GDP than the USA; China is nearly 1/2 as much. They have a long long way before they are even 3/4 of the way there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
