The stark difference between the US and China and why we're fricked.

The US is a melting pot of cultures that many believed/hoped would make the nation stronger, the cultural Marxists have used these differences to divide Americans.
China is largely a homogeneous society.....they are not nearly as susceptible to cultural divisions like the US.....other than potential dissatisfaction with economic stratification/classes the Chinese are marching together so far.
The US is being foolishly distracted with SJW insanity like ESG, DEI, climate change, etc.
China has made great gains in the game of geopolitics by shaking hands, distributing cash and making trade deals....essentially buying favor, we know all too well how that works in the Imperial City aka Washington DC.
The US has spent tens of trillions of dollars on US military superiority over the past 60 years trying to convince lesser nations to see things our way.....or else!
China is using a more effective strategy to gain trust from other nations and they're not being distracted with an internal political faction/ideology that pushes ESG, DEI and climate change foolishness.
I wonder which nation has the best strategy for global dominance.

In many ways yes, but if you look closer you begin to realize this isn't nearly as true as the CCP wants you to think and there's a lot of history behind why that's the case.

There are multiple types of Chinese. I believe the ones in power are Han Chinese and they aren’t necessarily the biggest group.
That being said, I think their philosophy has been to beat down their own people and make them think they have no shot, so they go along with the party’s bullshite. That changes for some reason and they have problems. Especially considering the demographics of their country.
Having lots of unmarried men isn’t good for a society.

What if those unmarried men are considered potential cannon fodder?

Another thing...
Chinese can take suffering. Chinese can sleep on a concrete floor with no a/c and eat a bowl of rice a day, no problem.
We’re not about that life no mo.
Our capacity to withstand suffering doesn’t stand a chance.

The leaders see them as that. The unmarried men may disagree.
Part of why unmarried men can be so dangerous is that not having to be responsible for a family means you aren’t necessarily subject to pressures to make you conform. A lot of the problems in Saudi Arabia and elsewhere deal with this among the lower classes.

You're not wrong.....the majority of Chinese are not living with all the conveniences Americans enjoy. I think most Americans still believe the US is the undisputed global superpower with no challenger.....as our banking system teeters on collapse.

Technically you're correct but when you look at the ethnicity of China as a whole it is at least 90% indigenous Asian...not many blacks, Hispanics, Caucasians, etc.

China is screwed from a demographic, energy and food supply perspective. They are trying to solve their energy and food supply issues with Russia, Saudis and India (and surrounding nations) respectively. Their demographic problem cannot be solved. Their one child policy will hurt them pretty badly. China will be just a bunch of old people.

Asian my man, you're talking subsets of Asian people. Bottom line, so far the Chinese have remained largely united....the US is on the verge of unraveling. China's biggest concern outside of knocking the US of the top of the global totem pole is re absorbing Taiwan.

We'll go with your analysis.....I feel more confident we have little to fear from an ascending China.

Our only chance is demographics. Their one child (and it's OK to drown your daughters so you can have a boy) policy is a huge problem. They have billions of people but few under 30 women. They are the oldest society in the world, this might sink them.

We've built China's industrial infrastructure on greed. We've built their military. We've given them advantages with terrible trade deals and environmental politics that cripple our remaining industry while they are exempted...again, for greed.
China is the product of America's greed. The SJW and other idiocy, the product of bad parenting and baseless arrogance.

In one way I agree but never underestimate a hangry man with nothing left to lose. We are soft in this country because we can be at this time. But deep down there is grit. Also there are plenty of rural folks just looking for a reason to bust some heads.

You endure what you have to or die. There will be some that can adapt. The weak won't. The pampered won't. Rural folks would do better than city people and patriots better than Antifa types.
Hitler thought we were weak as did the Japanese. They were wrong. We still carry the genes of those that fought and won at Bastogne, Normandy, Guadalcanal and Iwo Jima.
We still have a sizeable minority of people that would fight to last bitter drop of blood. I'd rather fight with those than be burdened with the others. I think many on this board are patriots.
