You all think they stopped making islands in the South Pacific? They know the future of energy lies out there ad they are claiming all the square mile they can. All we are doing is trying to regulate trade with them. This century will be china’s century, not ours.

I manscape. That’s gonna have to be enough...

They like landed on the “darkside” of the moon and shit.

Or we could call on the debt we hold over them.

Their GNP is only like 1/2 to 2/3 what ours is.

We outspend them for defense by miles.

They aren't even as good a pretender to the throne as russia is. And russia is a joke.

putong = common

hua = language

puntonghua = mandarin Chinese, which more or less was the language of the north. Guangzhouhua, well that's Cantonese.

Anyway, let's just stop having them manufacture shit for us. Dammit. Buohou, wenti!!

China to establish four strategic beach-heads in Italy under "Belt and Road" program as it obtains a stake and management of four Italian major ports.

This as the EU finally recognizes that China is a world power and a threat.

"China promotes the “Belt and Road” initiative as an innocent and altruistic infrastructure program that will make the world a better place at China’s expense (with China’s investment). In truth, Chinese state-owned companies such as China Merchants Port Holdings have been aggressively investing in infrastructure projects that will give China access to strategically important locations, practically “redrawing the map of global trade and political influence.”

As long as you don't mind it being cooked in gutter oil.

China is going to own most of Africa within 20 years. At least the part that can make something with (even) cheap(er) labor.

I heard Australia has a cat problem

Maybe China has a solution
