    It’s smart, I don’t know how people will feel about it but it’s smart.

    The US and China are in an escalating economic cold war. It’s goes completely against US interests to invest finite resources into growing the economy of an economic rival — and ditto for the converse of China investing into growing the US economy. Especially in an aggressively competitive economic sector where relative technological advancement is king for competitive purposes.

    A great move 30 years after neoliberalism forced globalization down our throats and brought the planet to the brink of collapse in the name of exploiting the global south.

    Like it or not China has become a huge threat, not just economically. they are not our allies by any stretch and we shouldnt treat them as such.

      Where I an looking from, America is a far bigger threat to humanity. China did not invade Iraq or bomb Middle Eastern countries with drones.

        Iraq was “liberated” and is now a safer place and a democracy. Jolly good work by the americans. Greetings from free Europe
