I mean both the US and China have slaves in their country but have big heavy political dicks they swing around to make it less talked about. We’re both “bad people”.
The US owes China a fuck ton of money.
When bad folks have people in their debt and need money, they do bad things to collect their debt.
China isn’t gonna get poor watching the US squander the ~trillion of dollars they loaned us without a fight.
Maybe if we, idk, taxes our billionaires? Nah, ‘too difficult’. Okay, so war then? Great.
