    No real empire should have hole in the ground toilets at their famous cultural sites.

    China is going to hit a brick wall soon enough. Can't escape their own demographics and the economics of it. We just should be setting it up so they don't corrupt the rule of law in the rest of the world in the mean time.

    I read somewhere once that their demographic decline is chinevitable as a result of 1 child policy.
    Exactly. Unless the Chinese start offing grandmas and grandpas by the millions they are going to get shredded due to demographics.

    Their game is the long game. The third world development is something we did in the cold war as did the USSR.

    Now its China

    It would be going backwards to be on an even field with them

    We will rot from within like England before anyone beats us but the result is the same

    America has to keep that we can do anything spirit. Not embrace self loathing and defeatism

    This isn't 1999, they're already done with that whole third world redevelopment thing. They can compete with anyone. They have a scared shitless population that is simultaneously extremely well educated. Their children outperform ours. They attend our world renowned universities. They don't blink twice about cheating, either at the personal or state level. Meanwhile our population can't even agree on what constitutes a basic fact. China is whooping our ass.
    Their education scores are hilariously inflated. Sure, the average child attending a private international school in Beijing does better than the average American student. Go spend some time in anything that isn't elite rich China and you can see they are still less than a generation removed from 3rd world education.

    Jesus you guys buy a lot of CCP propaganda if you think China is still even a fart in the wind close to catching the US even with all of the cheating. That's the only way they can remotely stay in the game not the way they are going to win 34-17.

    Same shit was said about Japan, ze Germans, and then all the Asian tigers, and then the Eurozone.

    I'm the biggest China alarmist here but they aren't going to eat our lunch unless we let them.

    But I’m hearing on the tug we have to beat China “at their own game.” Tariffs and protectionism. Why does the US need to beat China at their own game when we already have them beat?

    Might as well not even play the game
    I knew as soon as I saw those 1 billion Chinese step out of the tunnel that we were in for a rough day.
    People forget that they fought us to a draw once when they were still a loser nation of mostly bike commuters.
    Coach McArthur wanted to push up the middle but got fired by the AD
    Race is always right.

    Confirmation once again.

    Moving forward I will now imagine all of Race’s posts being read by Sam Kinison.

    There's a key difference you're ignoring. There's over a billion of those motherfuckers.
