China is our Hope

[NumberSix]

The sea belongs to China, it always has. The only reason this is even an issue is because the US doesn't want china to gain more resources and territory, so it's backing all the little Asian countries. Vietnam and South Korea wouldn't dare to oppose China if they didn't have strong and explicit US backing.

The sea belongs to Britain. Britannia rules the waves. ALL of them.

from what i've read, that's just one of several ideas the current regime is trying to push that is in fact pretty much just propaganda.

even so, it's still mostly irrelevant.

as in-- if you have a group of nations sharing a sea space for many decades, with all the corresponding rights and laws that support that, then trying to bully your way in to exclusive ownership is obviously going to create problems no matter what your excuse is.

Feelings?

Feelings are a natural part of being a human being.
Without our feelings, people start to see people as disposable factory workers.

And no, OP, they're not 100% right.
I've been to Harlem after midnight, ghetto parts of New Haven, ghetto parts of Hartford, Bridgeport, and various other impoverished drug-infested crime-infested neighborhoods as well as slums in Pakistan, and Saudi and poor parts of Malaysia AS AN AMERICAN wearing DECENT CLOTHING, SOLO, speaking Proper English, driving a decent car, etc.

Nothing bad yet. The fact that you describe China as 'Alpha" and debase black people have been SYSTEMATICALLY OPPRESSED, deprived of education, deprived of basic human rights, deprived of sound nurition, deprived fo their own very culture, deprived of their own fraternity, and hundreds fo BASIC THINGS necessary to develop a healthy functioning human being, while your nation greedily looks at the mines of Africa as things to exploit quite accurately describes your moral merit as a human being, ISHGoat.

I'd advise you wipe that racism off your filthy heart. That advice also applies to me as well.

You're actually one of the most retarded posters I see here. At least your leftist friends like kevin and deuce make somewhat valid points, but you just spew nonsense.

Nonsense: Things that don't add up logically.
Example: Some young, cocky Asian coming to America who, using their limited undeveloped judgment, actually, without seeing the entire criteria of what constitutes a human being, presumes himself better than people of African or Islamic descent through strictly utilizing socioeconomic and safety factors in judging human conduct.

Example: Some guy who has not established any form of messageboard leadership merit using terminology like "our" to incite followers into adopting their insane racist mentality.

Example: Water created, sustained, and nourished by God Almighty "belonging" to an arbitrarily created nation.

Example: Being rightfully called out upon on silly judgment by another individual whom has extrapolated, using knowledge of past historical events, on the destination of what's to come when following a particular way of life; and then resorting to a character attack.


Sense: Things that do add up.
Example. Shutting the fack up about black and brown and Muslim people when you haven' even interacted with them in your life yet.

Example: Not going down the route of a nation with extreme wealth inequality among other vices which I am not informed enough to state.

Communism works in China because they have less testosterone and less of a competitive drive. It does allow them to work efficiently in harmony however.

China is only communist administratively, it is in most regards the most capitalistic society on the planet.

The Chinese have had 5000 years of market culture and 71 years of communism.

The communist government is essentially the chamber of commerce. Government works hand in hand with the banks and key business people (anyone who excels in their field has the ear of or is a member of the communist party). IF you get out of line, they nab you on corruption (everyone is essential corrupt under this system, people only get called out when they don't toe the line, its a control mechanism).

I'm sure they're terrified of a nation who got their ass kicked by a group of peasants in Vietnam

I was just in Ho Chi Minh City, McDonald's, KFC, etc...

Plenty of US expats doing business there.

Vietnam is doing a great job leveraging China (the US's main competitor) both militarily and economically (factories etc.).

How exactly did the US lose that war? Vietnam might be the most important ASEAN ally going forward.

China is taking a page out of Japan's book. "Territorial Waters" basically is wherever you can swing your dick and enforce it. The Japs used to stop and board Taiwanese fishing boats off some islands only 100 miles NE of Taiwan.

This claim is a joke, China knows that the Philippines and Malaysia are too flaccid to combat them, Taiwan kind of wants the same claim since they are 'China' as well (in theory not practice), and that leaves only Vietnam to worry about.

By making these waters Chinese, they can stop US patrols and bully their ASEAN neighbors and have control over the region.
