@Gnomesopinions @AaronBastani China is just pursuing what all countries did before, and the same policy the World Bank is Now pushing, after decades of structural readjustments and 'Free market' I.e de-industrialisation policies; Industrial Policy!!,They were always right, de-industrialisation is a slow death

@Gnomesopinions @AaronBastani Assuming you aren't being facetious,it depends on what the purpose of the tariff is and the policies behind that tariff, if you're going to tariff solar panels from China without building your own, you just make solar panels expensive without new jobs, hindering your development

@KemiRoza32655 @MonitorX99800 HE LITERALLY GOT YOU INTO A WAR, Iran offered the US BETTER TERMS than the JCPOA, and the twin ghouls, LIED AND GOT THE US INTO A WAR!!, they are Israeli handlers, the Iranian delegation stated that they didn't even grasp nuclear enrichment, imbecility is not a qualification

@Hrundo1 Repression is a stretch too, watch any video of Tibet or anyone driving in Tibet, you will see tibetans doing pilgrimage to lhasa, Tibetans still worship in Lhasa, you can find that on YouTube, a
signs in Tibet are in Tibetan and Mandarin, they still have their traditions

[Olearop @Olearop]

@Hrundo1 They had clashes with Vietnam in the 70s, hence my 'foreign war' statement, 'fighting with sticks' is imperialist? Lol, India has had multiple hot wars with Pakistan in that time period, that's a stretch, again borders since 1951- 75 years, most countries didnt even exist then,

[Olearop @Olearop]

@Hrundo1 I stated that as a corollary effect, it did in turn have a humanitarian benefit, because well, China wasn't an ethno nationalist feudal system and fully incorporated Tibetans into the communist system as full citizens, so conditions factually improved from before, the invasion

[Olearop @Olearop]

@Hrundo1 ...you kept saying. 'So you're saying countries should be invaded because they're savages..' or something like that, no, we have international law to deal with errant countries contravening human rights, and i never said China took territory because it was humanitarian....

[Olearop @Olearop]

@Hrundo1 That they should not happen, as we have International Law, but they did happen and were common at that time period, and you would be hard pressed to find nations who's borders weren't ..amorphous, on suppression especially of Tibetans the CCP did incorporate them as full citizens

[Olearop @Olearop]

@Hrundo1 The issue with arguing with you is you take an inch and run it for a mile, China has maintained its borders since 1951, has not been involved in foreign wars since the 70s and doesnt have an interventionist foreign policy, I would comfortably argue it isnt imperialist

[Olearop @Olearop]

@Hrundo1 ? Who's denied that?Thats what that period in human history was like and heck its still the same today,powerful countries generally act according to whatever nebulous ideas of 'national security' they have, some of those actions do have corollary benefits, just acknowledging that

[Olearop @Olearop]

@Hrundo1 Again humanitarian interventions, have always existed, is that why China expanded its borders? No, it was mainly for security, as border expansions have always been, did it have a great humanitarian effect removing an insane feudal system of indentured slavery? Yes it did

[Olearop @Olearop]

@Hrundo1 ? Savages,no,ruled by a despot? yes, that is essentially what International Law is, and technically how its supposed to work, though it is never followed, a crime against humanity means you have committed a crime against well ..everyone, and International bodies then intervene

[Olearop @Olearop]

@Hrundo1 You cannot choose to just extrapolate different historic events and assign them as the same, minorities in China were never subject to policies like the one child policy, people complain about DEI or Affirmative Action? Chinas is even more extreme in favor of minorities

[Olearop @Olearop]

@Hrundo1 No, the red army included tibetans and unified a country ruled by warlords, it is not remotely the same as Europeans, not everything is the same, China unified a country and enshrined protections , Europeans exploited and extracted, Every minority is an equal citizen in China

[Olearop @Olearop]

@Hrundo1 You can literally watch a YouTube video of people driving in Tibet... there are people who go on month's long pilgrimages all along the roads to Lhasa!!, lhasa has so many temples and worshippers, All signs in Tibet are in Mandarin and Tibetan!!, there is no erasure of tibetans

[Olearop @Olearop]

@Hrundo1 ? What is this disingenuous argument? Yes!! Tibet was a feudal system and the Dalai Lama was actively colluding with Nazi's, you can go to the museums, they used to cut people's hands off!! and had people in generational slavery, also erasure?lol, tibetan culture is protected....

[Olearop @Olearop]

@bijurkurup @hft_trading1988 @mashabani Yes in self defense if attacked, the US would use their Nukes the same way, if they faces an existential crisis, they would use Nukes
