China has been the blue-collar labor force for the United States of America (USA) for several decades now.

Every person living in the USA has at least 5 things that were made in China.🤣

Also, there's at least 5 million Chinese people living in the USA.

Yet, the US government wants the American people to believe China is a threat.

If China wanted to destroy America it would be very easy to do wirhout firing a single shot.

Everything from contaminated clothing & products to a little something extra in egg rolls & Chinese food would kill millions of Americans.🤣

First, it was the nuclear arms race that made Russia a boogeyman. China has become one too mainly because it owns a huge amount of US debt.

White people in America make up enemies to justify the military & owning a bunch of guns.

If American white folks would stop creating enemies through colonization, imperialism & racism, etc., they would have nothing to fear.😎

America! Ya gotta luv it. 😉

It seems to me what your suggesting needs to happen in the future is for people ,more people, the ninety nine percent 99%, the majority in the united states of america u.s.a., to embrace adjusting more positively to the fiscal environment or governmental bureaucracies of the u.s.a. led by the u.s.a.'s one percent fiscal wealthy, even if they didn't want them, were unable to stop them being implemented, are suffering under them, or some negative.

I can say many people, various phenotypes/genders/religions/ages/ in various geographies in the usa have stated similar to you. There is a movement of people in the usa who stand with you. Is it a majority? I don't know, and I gamble no.

In the two hundred and fifty year history of the united states of america, i argue a majority in the populace across all racial types [phenotype/gender /religion or others] have been impatient or unsatisfied with the system. But, the minority in this country has always found a way with its resources to stop the impatient majority from jumping to violence to anarchy/a system absent any ruler whether be the law or an individual. Said minority which today includes women plus blacks plus latinos has gotten the majority to embrace stillness, do nothing which isn't patience it is a calm before a storm, in which every time the calm is extended the storm gets bigger. Two hundred and fifty year is a long extension.

I end with positive... some say strong people lead themselves. I argue a peoples goals dictate their actions. Complacency isn't equivalent to weakness, complacency can occur when one is actually happy with the way things are, not merely being coerced into activity by others. The problem with the populaces that make up the majority in the usa is they need to be convinced that engagement will lead to results each populace wants, something that has never happened in the usa. To restate the usa has never had a time in its history where native americans/blacks/whites/ latinos/women men/old/young/immigrants/orphans/prisoners/ or others got what they wanted. Either few win or all lose is what happens in the usa. So the only way for that to be undone is an era of leadership . The usa had a great era of multiracial leadership in the 1960s that was assassinated/poisoned/imprisoned/similar injury by a combination of fiscal plus governmental agents who had something to lose if all groups won. But if a a great era of multiracial leadership can happen once, it can happen again.

But, one must have patience.

I didn't read that into what I actually wrote.

I'm questioning how China can be considered an enemy or boogeyman given their labor force producing a huge amount of products & the Chinese presence in the USA.😎

cause it wasn't what you wrote, you wrote a question about what in the past led to a situation today, and I wrote about what needs to happen in the future to solve the situation you stated.

exactly, what i said wasn't to answer your question of how things got to today. But I did comprehend your question. You already know the answer to the question. Maybe you don't accept it, but you know.

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/lawmakers-china-owned-us-farmland/

40 million acres of US farmland is owned by foreign entities. It only amounts to about 2% of the farmland available.

Chinese investors own about 229,000 thousand acres of farmland here in the USA which is only 0.5% of the 2% mentioned above.

Nearly a quarter-million acres is a significant amount of land owned by a supposed adversary.

I doubt that most people would allow their enemy to own as much as a broom closet in their home.😁

Again, just another example of the BS whenever the US declares China as a threat.😎

In terms of competition for the world's resources China is way ahead of America. As you know China has always been more willing to go into Black nations and "partner" with the people there. Whether it is Central America, the Caribbean of even the Motherland, China has a global footprint. As a result, China controls and processes 90% the planet's rare earth metals which are used to make all the tech gadgets American's want today.

Most telling is that China gives us TicTok, but don't subject their own people to that trash...

We all know their students outperform Anerican's in math and reading. I'd be willing to bet Chinese kids perform on par with Americans on reading English.

Their EVs are far superior to what Elon has us driving around in here in the US...

Viewing China as a cheap labor force is short sighted. We are becoming increasing dependent upon them not just for labor.

Right. China is not just cheap US labor force. They also steal, er, reappropriate products, goods & technology to sell cheaply to other countries around the globe. They reverse-engineer quite a bit.

Back in the 1970s, the US started exporting the manufacturing jobs American workers relied on for middle-class status.

IMO, the evaporation of blue-collar jobs here in America disenfranchised a lot of people. Now, they're talking about bringing trades back.

If Chinese people & Asians in general were truly smarter than Americans & everyone else, it would stand to reason that their countries would be the global super-powers leading in innovation & technology.

My point isn't too minimize China. It is to point out the obvious gaslighting US leaders do to keep Americans dazed & confused into believing China is an adversary.

China is not a threat especially as long as money is flowing into their country from its biggest employer & customer...USA.😎

I think American propaganda is causing you to underestimate or marginalized China’s accomplishments.

Again, this is the result of propaganda when you’re colonial power, and an empire everyone is an adversary. America needs to be able to flip the switch and turn any adversary into an enemy. We are really very good at doing this history tells us indeed we’ve been on the business end of that type of propaganda for centuries.

I'm not marginalizing China's accomplishments in providing for its citizens.

This is what I'm pointing out. The USA creates boogeymen to keep its people dazed & confused about its adversaries.

The real adversaries which the USA agitated are countries that resist colonization & imperialism & hate Israel.😎
