Little weird actively wishing for the most populated country in the world and the second largest economy in the world to collapse. Hey yankee numb nuts, that's gonna have global repercussions, that will likely affect the US as bad as anyone else. Who do you think makes all your shit? Really trying to cut off your nose to spite your face here.
He isn't celebrating that fact. Maybe you should read the article.
Libs are definitely getting a tingle in their cocks over the idea of China collapsing. That's why they love those Balkanization maps.
Nothing in your comment is relevant to mine. Biden is not celebrating the decline in the Chinese economy. He is informed enough to understand that impacts the USA as well.
Nothing in your posting history is relevant to this site. So maybe fuck off.
Is there an obligation to service the least well thought out ideology in human history here?
Your mom has an obligation to service my hog
It seems you are confusing a description with a wish.
I agree with everything you're saying, but one thing: the US imports more from Canada and Mexico because labor land and shipping costs less than production in China
they said, on a device 100% manufactured domestically from resilient supply chains
I guess I fail to see the point. There is no person on Lemmy who only uses items native to their country, especially electronics. Criticize whoever you want, but realize the designs and money for the products are almost always coming from a different place as the manufacturing. If your labor is cheap, you don't attract the best and brightest because those scientists and engineers expect to be paid well. If you attract the best and brightest, cheap labor can't afford to live near them
If you look at imports by sector, high tech manufacturing still occurs in China by an overwhelming margin. The input material supply chains are such that if retaliatory sanctions began in the trade war, you would see $10k basic televisions stateside.
Didn't the trade wars already start under Trump, and then get intensified under Biden with the CHIPS act/restricting microprocessor imports to China? China retaliated by restricting microprocessor raw materials to the US and Chinese companies ordered 5 billion USD in microprocessors
Yep, it is definitely a little weird. I mean you aren't supposed to speak English. Translate everything to pinyin and you are complant.
