Comment on Trump Is Obsessed With Oil. But Chinese Batteries Will Soon Run the World

China isn’t set to rule the world, they’re set up for collapse, be it in 10 years or 100. It’s just another cruel dictatorship in a long line.
Yeah China is like the Soviet Union.
My grandparents had to hold their noses and be allies with the Soviet Union for a while.
But unlike the Soviet Union which was way behind the West in technology, China is ahead of us on EVs and we will have to catch up. But before worrying about that, we gotta take down the US.
China is a democracy with 9 political parties as compared to America which has 2. Over 90% of Chinese people support the government. You’re allowed to criticize the government contrary to CIA propaganda.
This has gotta be framed, its beautiful.
I hope this is satire, but this being Threadi I have my doubts.
I am serious.
Have you ever lived in a non-Western country? Or are you parroting some random copytext you saw online?
Doesn’t it bother you that you’re wrong all the time? Don’t you think that after 15 failed “China is LITERALLY COLLAPSING RIGHT NOW” predictions you ought to think about whether your source of information (the CIA) is flawed?
Does it ever occur to you that to a neutral observer you appear identical to a doomsday cult leader on his latest “Um, well, I guess I was wrong, but the world really is ending next month” pivot?
Right, so because I don’t believe the following:
China is a democracy with 9 political parties … You’re allowed to criticize the government … [GIA conspiracy gibberish]
This makes me a “doomsday cult leader”.
Sure, thing! ;)

There’s definitely an element of reflexive “China Bad!” in these predictions of imminent collapse. But I do feel like I’m talking to a KHiver doing the High Hopes dance in late October 2024.
The irrationality of the China Hawks feels endless. This country is simultaneously about the launch a Third World War on every regional neighbor and mere weeks away from complete societal implosion.
The sentiment seems to parallel people predicting the end of the AI bubble, people predicting that Trump will keel over and die from Oldtimers in the next few days, and people insisting they’re holding a winning lottery ticket two days before the drawing. Just total divorce from material conditions.

You think the USA is going to start WWIII? Bro, look around, China and Russia keep invading and occupying nearby nations. If it’s happening then it was already started by them.
You know what the best evidence is for “China Bad”? They promoted and endorsed Donald Trump, even utilized their TikTok psyops for his reelection.
