“They took almost 100 per cent of our chip industry, I give them credit . . . Now we’re giving them billions of dollars to build new chips in our country, and then they’re going to . . . bring it back to their country,” Trump said.
Capitalism is fine when USA can benefit from it, but bad when it hurts them, eh? Fucking hypocrit.
I love how he uses chip fabs in Taiwan to mobilise the farmers in Wisconsin and make them shout “hell yeah”
Unfortunately this is an empty campaign promise. We saw from his first term that he’s going to toe the NATSEC line when it comes to encroachment on China.
This is likely just stock manipulation. Interview was in June, and just now released the day before TSMCs earnings report.
Everything is.
3 minutes into browsing this evening and already found the Russian shrill 😞
yeah, best presidential candidate Russia has
Why is Russia so good at this? They have so much less money, so many fewer people, they were completely demolished 30 years ago, and they are shot through with corruption. How could they be so effective at controlling USA politicians and the USA electoral system and the USA Congress and the USA media when the USA spends far more on propaganda, far more on espionage, far more on media, far more on their military, far more on international relations, and has more people and has much longer unbroken period of prosperity and has more control over the world’s resources and has more influence over the world governments?
It just doesn’t make sense. How is Russia this good?

It just doesn’t make sense.
Maybe because they don’t control it, and it is propaganda from people within the USA, telling you that you should vote for their party instead of the other party? :)
That’s a bingo
I suspected that it might have been sarcasm and still got baited 🤦♂ Well played :)
Arming Taiwan is a pathway to war.
Standing up to tyranny is often a pathway to violence.
The United goddamn States is not fucking standing up to tyranny lol
That’s why US hegemony must be resisted at all costs.
War will happen between China and Taiwan regardless. Just like China vs Hong Kong.
There was no war between China and Hong Kong?
Hong Kong was always going to happen because that was an agreed upon conclusion. China violated promises that it made (one country, two systems my ass), but Hong Kong was a part China. Taiwan has never been under the control of the current government of mainland China. At this point Taiwan would likely be a separate country if it didn’t have China’s dagger at its throat telling it that even a breath of declaring independence will result in immediate invasion.
Reunification will happen, like Hong Kong.
I don’t remember Hong Kong starting WW3 though. 🤔
Reunification will happen, like Hong Kong.
regardless if the people wanted it or not, yay for Xi…
also a reunification War doesn’t have to surmount to a World War.
What are you fucking talking about. Hong Kong has always been part of China. The imperialist monarchical tyranny of Great Britain forcibly occupied Hong Kong and separated it from Chinese governance on a temporary contractual basis. Once that contract was up, Hong Kong was once again part of China but instead of completely overturning everything in Hong Kong, the Chinese government established a way of working called “One Country, Two Systems” that is making the transition away from the dynastic monarchy of unapologetic genocidal racists easier for the people of Hong Kong.
The fact that the youth of Hong Kong decided to protest part of this process is a function of British propaganda. The protestors elders were not in support of the protests and some even threw their kids out of their homes for their participation. Meanwhile, the protesters in Hong Kong were incredibly violent for a prolonged period of time and the response from the Chinese government was incredibly sedate, patient, and considerate, especially compared to literally anything the USA has done domestically when people protest for the rights of black people.
Your narrative is fantastical with little to no basis in reality.
Colonialism seems to leave quite a mindfuck on local populations themselves. The young people I knew from Hong Kong (at the time since this was a long time ago) considered themselves British. Ethnically Chinese yeah but if you asked they were British. If the locals can be propagandized by invaders it’s pretty easy to convince western zeitgeist that Hong Kong was anything but an occupied region of China.
A war between Taiwan and China would absolutely become a World War.
Reunification can be peaceful like it was with Hong Kong.
This is satire right?
can always rely on lemmy.world accounts to say the dumbest shit possible 😂
There is no war in Ba Sing Se
It’s fucking unhinged
Doesn’t he want the same thing in NATO ?
