The scale at which China is able to disrupt our supply chain, our global influence, and our technological advantages is unmatched by any other country.

They're the biggest security threat of our digital future. By a long shot.

Combine this with some serious ideological differences in regards to their take on capitalism, freedom, human rights, privacy, intellectual property, etc I don't see how any other country even compares.

Iran and NK are ideologically oppositional to us, but only have regional influence, and neither have been able to insert themselves as pillars of the US economy and supply chain.

Russia is nowhere near what the USSR was.

What should be done? Are we just too weak as a society to properly deal with China?

I'm more worried about the domestic antagonists who are part of our own government apparatus than I am the CCP, the Russkies and the Juice combined.

Yes sir, I been screaming it for years.

They got the world's largest navy.
They have Africa.
They have New Zealand.
Big chunks of South America.

We better wake up and export all the China lovers here.

Our biggest adversary is within our own borders; The Democrat party

They are anti American

We are properly dealing with them right now. China is about to enter a period of stagnation.

And we are educating those little bastards right here in our colleges and universities. Then they steal IP and classified info and take it back to China.

We are not talking about economics. We are talking about destruction.

Yes, but we can inflict even more pain to them than they can us. They need us more than we need them.

This is why I'm not scared of China.

Those abandoned cities they built are the perfect analogy for their "empire".

Xi is dealing with his own deep state, just like Trump is. Putin, too.

The "negotiations" you see playing out in 2025 were agreed to in 2019-20.

I agree
It's a good thing Japan and USA have decent relations

Russia military is decimated and Putin is sandbagging his way to the best deal he can craft

What are you doing with this?
Not to be rude but it sounds like your working on a term paper. Or you just read a book or just arrived on planet Earth.

Yes, but I don't think they are as big of a threat as some would have you believe. As others mentioned, they need us more that we need them. Financially speaking, they would have a harder time crushing our economy than we could do with them.

Militarily speaking. We have allies that have a history of handing China its arse during wartime. Additionally, while they have a military that is modernizing and large, they lack natural resources that would reduce their capabilities during a long engagement. Just like Japan during WWII, having to outsource fuel and other energy resources can cripple a country when supply routes are disrupted. And while they do steal secrets, their reproduction is not up to the same quality as what is produce here and by our allies.

Wouldn't want a war with them, they wouldn't be an easy brush off, but they are not invincible.
