The biggest mistake of the US was electing Trump who took back the TPP, which was meant to choke China out of the Pacific.

US policy hasn't changed - proxy wars and coups. All of which, 95% of the time result, in even more suffering for the common folk in those countries. US lives by the need to have an external "common enemy". This time, however, it's not USSR or some banana-republic they are dealing with. China is a massive hybrid of capitalism and communism, which they have created themselves. Not only they have tech on par with the western world (or even better in some cases), biggest army and a strong economy - recently they have gained access to resources of Russia.

For Russia and China Cold War NEVER ended, West finally starting to wake up and realize there is no reason with these 2 regimes

Thanks to decades of stealing our intellectual property and the myopia of American politicians (both Republicans and Democrats) and the desire of Americans for cheap products, China shot like a rocket onto the World stage. No other nation is as responsible for China's success as the U.S. But now the U.S, and the rest of the World is finally getting wise to their antics. Eventually, China is going to plummet like a meteor just as spectacularly as how they rose to prominence.

You could argue that declaring war against Germany meant that the average German would suffer. Situations reach points where they need to be stopped. The Germans invaded other countries and that's why everyone decided it was time to do something. Like with the Chinese now, nobody gives a crap if a shitty regime commits crimes against humanity on their own people. The USSR is literally no more, that's what happened. The USSR wasn't trade embargoed wholesale, no matter what the internal propaganda might have said. The Cold War was a weird game. This is an interesting read: https://www.americanforeignrelations.com/E-N/Embargoes-and-Sanctions-Cold-war-sanctions.html I agree for the most part, especially what happened in the 60s-90s. I don't agree anymore, honestly. I cannot see why it's better to have "leaders" who are basically populists owned by Putin or the Chinese (like Orban or Trump), and expressimg the will of the "people" who are literally lead by idiotic social media clearly manipulated by oligarchs and dictators. I would rather have any American president over my head than Putin or Xi, thank you, at least he can be eventually voted out. Historically, regimes based on people or specific castes of elites, are easy to topple, even from within. The internal message in China by the CCP focuses always on "stability". The truth is that China is as large and nationally diverse as Europe, and the CCP's power hangs by a thread at places, hence their treatment of ethnic minorities (like the concentration camps they have in their north right now). The more they pose externally to project "strength", the weaker they are internally. This is like political science 101.

No it won't At least not with without milion of people suffering from the situation.

TalentX:

It would be funny if China decides to stop production for the USA for the mere purpose of making this change even. I wonder how long the USA would last if that happens 🙄

Do you realize you have no idea what went on other than what you read/heard, and you are disagreeing on the events with the guy that lives there and has witnessed everything first hand? How in the world do you think you are correct and he is not? That's your western bias, you don't listen and learn, you just push your bias through the wall, and when able, rewrite the history. Right now, US is telling you that spending 20 trillions on the 15 trillion GDP is fine, because printing money is ok, but communism in China is bad, and while they are net positive, unlike the US, US has more money. And you believe this crap. Are you people crazy? No need to answer. I have next to no respect for opinion of western people regurgitating western doctrine. Sorry. Once your "world" hits the decline you will be very confused.

The US bizarre anti Hauwei policy will force China into developing its own chip manufacture, eventually endangering INTEL, AMD, Nvidia, they won't have any interest in complying with any patents. China is already powerful enough with the technical competence to give the big finger to the US or anyone else.

K.S.:

Court documents show the US department of state, CIA and NSA were conducting a mass surveillance operation on but not limited to the following countries: China, Russia, USA, United Kingdom, Canada, Mexico, Australia. So including ourselves & some allies too without individual warrants - the excuse was FISA warrants used as "blankets" for multiple points of mass surveillance. Our Federal courts saw otherwise history showed. Violating established privacy data-sets on a scale considered weapons-grade according to the EU and now GDRP (which didn't exist at the time). PHI, PII, & including but was not limited to data mining of bank statements, passport records, location information, cell records(sms/audio), credit reports, social networking accounts, and more. Point a finger at someone else - there are five pointing back at you
