Forums - Politics - Daily Politics: Is Trump Pissing Off China Wise?

binary solo on 05 December 2016

Get off side with the world's largest economy at your peril, I guess. China is growing stronger as a country internally and with its influence in the world. Being a disk towards China is a diplomatically and potentially economically bad idea. No matter how much you hate the commie regime, it is a reality you have to deal with on a calm and rational basis.

Taking a phone call for congratulations doesn't mean anything. If China wants to get pissed off because of that, then fuck'em.

The media is blowing this out of proportion. It was a ten minute congratulations, not a four hour meeting.

This.



Made a bet with LipeJJ and HylianYoshi that the XB1 will reach 30 million before Wii U reaches 15 million. Loser has to get avatar picked by winner for 6 months (or if I lose, either 6 months avatar control for both Lipe and Hylian, or my patrick avatar comes back forever).

lol i payed 400 for a PS4 so an extra 100 for it not to be chinese is a bargin to me if it means more jobs just down the street.  

I avoid chinese food products like the plague, and dont shop at walmart.  

It woulnd become a cold war, chinese know they would lose and there is no upside for them turining it into that.  

$100? A Vitamix blender, made in the US, $599. Walmart blender, made in China, $13.47
A PS4 pro made in the US would be a lot more than $100 extra.

My Bimmer cost me 50k, i wouldnt buy a chinese car for 10k.  You seem to be avoiding that quality costs.

The two powers will clash sooner or later.

Strategically and logically for the States its better if its sooner.

This is the type of thinking that almost destroyed the world during the Cuban Missle Crisis during the actual Cold War. JFK's military chiefs were convinced nuclear war with Russia was inevitable, if he had listened to them likely most of central Europe, China, Russia, and the probably a major US city like New York would've been eradicated in nuclear war. 

JFK + Khruschev saved the world from more extremist elements in their power ranks, I have no doubt of it. The thinking that war is inevitable and thus a first strike must be implemented is extremely dangerous, none of us posting on this board would likely even be alive to post because human history would've been so radically different.

No American car? lol. I have a 60k BMW and a 80k Mercedes, but I'm honest about it at least, lol, I wouldn't touch an American car with a 50 foot pole.

lol no.  China is no miltary match they are not getting into a cold war with the US, Soviets did casuse thast all they had.  

China US will clash is coming, better it be now and a trade war.  Will balance out the world.  Letting them go uninterupted out of some patetic fear is well pathetic.
