      Yankees have been in total denial for decades. They assumed China was still in the Qing era.

      It’s just that we hit the point where it’s no longer possible to maintain the narrative that the US is ahead.

      I mean a lot of the wealth/power is held by people stuck in the 1950s. So yes.

    Lmao “peer rival”. Like others have said, China should be offended to be referred to as a ‘peer’ or America, and laugh at the idea of America as a ‘rival’.

    “Oh look I’m at a track meet and the racist asshole with rich parents, who constantly shoots themself in the foot, is my competition in the hurdles! Oh they just took their spikes off because they’re “not based”, and fired their hurdle coach because “they know how to jump and run the best of anybody. Big jumps!” And now they’ve taken the starter pistol, loaded in a live round, and blown their big toe to kingdom come. However they’re now technically standing at the starting line, seemingly able to race. Wow. What a peer rivalry.”

      Indeed, it’s really funny way to frame China basically smacking the US down and telling them how it’s gonna be.

    Ngl im sick of American politicians calling China a rival and an enemy and idk why China doesn’t make a bigger stink about it

    They’re not a rival and they’re definitely not an enemy! They’re a close ally and our biggest trading partner! The only thing making them an enemy is you calling them one!

      China is a communist country.

      Billionaires and their lap-dog politicians see communism as the enemy.

    i’m imagining fanfares, curtain rises, behind is xi with a podium with a big button on it. he presses the button. the camouflage nets fall from all the factories in china, everyone quickly rolls out their electric cars from disguised garages, the turbines spin up, the computers boot, etc.

    china has revealed itself!

Welcome to c/news! We aim to foster a book-club type environment for discussion and critical analysis of the news. Our policy objectives are:

  • To learn about and discuss meaningful news, analysis and perspectives from around the world, with a focus on news outside the Anglosphere and beyond what is normally seen in corporate media (e.g. anti-imperialist, anti-Zionist, Marxist, Indigenous, LGBTQ, people of colour).

  • To encourage community members to contribute commentary and for others to thoughtfully engage with this material.

  • To support healthy and good faith discussion as comrades, sharpening our analytical skills and helping one another better understand geopolitics.

We ask community members to appreciate the uncertainty inherent in critical analysis of current events, the need to constantly learn, and take part in the community with humility. None of us are the One True Leftist, not even you, the reader.

Newcomm and Newsmega Rules:

The Hexbear Code of Conduct and Terms of Service apply here.

  1. Link titles: Please use informative link titles. Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed.

  2. Content warnings: Posts on the newscomm and top-level replies on the newsmega should use content warnings appropriately. Please be thoughtful about wording and triggers when describing awful things in post titles.

  3. Fake news: No fake news posts ever, including April 1st. Deliberate fake news posting is a bannable offense. If you mistakenly post fake news the mod team may ask you to delete/modify the post or we may delete it ourselves.

  4. Link sources: All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. If you are citing a Twitter post as news, please include the Xcancel.com (or another Nitter instance) or at least strip out identifier information from the twitter link. There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance, such as Libredirect or archive them as you would any other reactionary source.

  5. Archive sites: We highly encourage use of non-paywalled archive sites (i.e. archive.is, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org) so that links are widely accessible to the community and so that reactionary sources don’t derive data/ad revenue from Hexbear users. If you see a link without an archive link, please archive it yourself and add it to the thread, ask the OP to fix it, or report to mods. Including text of articles in threads is welcome.

  6. Low effort material: Avoid memes/jokes/shitposts in newscomm posts and top-level replies to the newsmega. This kind of content is OK in post replies and in newsmega sub-threads. We encourage the community to balance their contribution of low effort material with effort posts, links to real news/analysis, and meaningful engagement with material posted in the community.

  7. American politics: Discussion and effort posts on the (potential) material impacts of American electoral politics is welcome, but the never-ending circus of American Politics© Brought to You by Mountain Dew™ is not welcome. This refers to polling, pundit reactions, electoral horse races, rumors of who might run, etc.

  8. Electoralism: Please try to avoid struggle sessions about the value of voting/taking part in the electoral system in the West. c/electoralism is right over there.

  9. AI Slop: Don’t post AI generated content. Posts about AI race/chip wars/data centers are fine.
