The US could further tighten controls on China’s access to sophisticated semiconductor technologies, Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo said, signaling Washington may intensify its campaign to prevent Beijing catching up in military capabilities.
Also, working together instead of open antagonism. Imagine the good the US and China could do together. It’d also be a metric shit ton of suffering, but they’re already cozy in those beds. Might as well build each other up.
How many American companies rely on China for their products? We should be building those relationships stronger. Not putting them in tension.
That’s the fundamental thing people miss. The MO of the US isn’t power for any sake other than to maximize misery and abuse in the world. If they had a button to give everyone 20 million dollars they wouldn’t press it, but they would immediately press a button that did the opposite.
It’s not that the US’s people in power are fundamentally evil (well they kinda are but you know what I mean), it’s just that its role as the leader of the imperial core since WW2, and its complete rule by the capitalist class means there’s nothing it can do but maximize suffering in the world to keep the rest of the world economically and militarily subjugated for as long as it can.
And it will be this way until and unless its capitalist system is completely destroyed.
Honestly at this point I don’t think they’re a slave to capitalism so much as they’re using capitalism as the system to maximize harm. We’re talking about a nation that was built on the genocide of an entire people, a point oven severely downplayed by even the most progressive.

You’re getting downvoted but you’re right.

Both of the countries would need some kind of a revolution before they’d shift towards cooperation with anyone
I mean… CPEC?
Too questionable to know for sure
