P.S. I don't really like Trump that much, but you people make him sooooo attractive - yikes.
This times a million.

Rather than actually try to improve their own political posture and fix the problems which made Trump an attractive option in the first place, the Left has doubled down on the "make him look as bad as possible" tactic.

It's failing miserably.

Castle is one disjointed comment after the next. Take a breath; come up with a coherent thought.

Sorry, did you have a point to make more than attempting to pull rank?

Tell me how a nation with 1/5th of our GDP per capita is a threat. Remember we control their economy.

GDP per capita is a quality of life measurement, not a measurement of a countries ability to be a threat - poor North Korea is still a threat to the region and China is much more wealthy. They have a 10+ trillion USD economy and an authoritarian government with a leader who just made himself president for life.

Economic espionage / IP theft, infiltrating academia to steal research, state subsidies / dumping, general espionage / information gathering (US citizens included), exporting internet control and surveillance technologies to other authoritarian countries, aggressive military operations / island building in the South China Sea, and more.

If you had any curiosity you can google and learn more. Maybe try "Uyghurs in China" to get a sense of the type of government we're dealing with.

And my point was you don't know crap about China.

Wow dude, what a super comeback *Pelosi clap*

I guess your answers to the above questions about your China expertise are all "no"

I guess your response to the aforementioned threats of China is "uhhhh piss off."

I'll leave you with a Chinese expression, young grasshoppa. Go learn what it means - but I don't recommend Google translate for Mandarin. Our conversation is now over.

班门弄斧

Nah castle is kinda right. Why not, like, consider the points he's making itt for like five seconds and interrogate them with an informed understanding of what the argument is? Taking your ball and going home is the easiest thing in the world to do. People on all sides do it, and they never learn or grow.
