No need to argue. Do your research. China is far ahead in many aspects than even the west

There's hard work and working smart..... Vietnam is China just without the military power component.... It is just that the west propped up china more.... They can do same with Vietnam

I watched many of Chinese kids videos. Whatever you think you can do, they can do it better by far. The west are in trouble and they know it
SlayQueenSlayer:
Exactly my point. America has a Chinese problem upon it and she has has no idea how to solve it. Today's Chinese kids are besting today's American kids in most metrics so these chaotic tactics will only get worse

China runs a real economy while The US runs a financial economy.
All manufacturing for US companies is done in China.
a tax hike on finished goods exported to the U.S. will spark severe inflation, wreaking havoc on the U.S. economy.
Let me correct you.... China uses real estate as it financial principle.... While Yankee using the stock market.... Then Japan uses debt due to its ability to manufacture..... A lot of other country follow a model...

Na why you see china continuously building and destroying..... Ghost cities and towns everywhere... But the issue is the Chinese are poor.... Because you require a high wage and stable currency to push your people upwards.....

China uses 2 currency system..... Remimbi for internal an yuan for external.... You can never attain a global economy status from such practices..... Because economy is based on trust.... And mind you every Chinese company is heavily subsidize.... Na why you see trump talking about tariffs....

You as a government can't be heavily subsidizing your company and expect me that's running my business with sweat and blood....

No worry the honeymoon period is coming to an end.....

Know nothing people

I wanted to work for one chinco coy in nigeria,
instead of using whatsapp to send instant message

The say we should use one rubbish low quality chinco app called dingtalk
similar scenario when I was working in one Chinese tea company in Lagos! Them told us to use one app called WeChat and in other for us to use wechat we must approval from a Chinese person.

More over Indian was one of the first country to ban tiktor and AliExpress together with some Chinese e-commerce stuff.

China does not want their population to be influenced so as not to breakup China. Thats what the West wants
they’re there cause it manufactured there
And even the Chinese govt gains from it

China only recently started sanctioning the US from December 2024 and it is on American Defense System.
China only ADVISED its citizens not to ‘consume’ certain US software services, in the past.

US started the trade war through sanctioning.It took the fight to China’s doorsteps which led China to banning some American software because America too cannot say it’s not collecting Chinese people’s data.

There is nothing the US does that China doesn’t have its own version. China also has the population to consume what it does - wether software, app, hardware, products or services.

China has other markets which the US has lost or doesn’t have due to the US’s arrogance.

So, it the US that drew the first blood.

There’s a Netherlands company (ASML) that has the tech to manufacture nano chips in the whole world. It’s the only company that has proprietary knowledge (till date) and the US mandated the company not to sell chips to China. Don’t forget that China needs chips in all electronic productions. There are lots of sanctions like that because China was manufacturing as scale and was making the US products at cheaper rate than America can do. Why do you think Donald Trump is trying to sanction Canada with 25% more on tariffs? It’s because of China because China has been establishing in Canada, which is closer to the US, under new company registrations. Such companies are no longer seeing as Chinese companies but Canadian companies. The same thing is happening in Mexico. China is a master strategist, in world trades and manufacturing. As at 2020, China ALONE manufactured over 36% of US products. It could have gone down a little now though. There are some other percentages being manufactured elsewhere like Latin America, Canada and Europe, India, Israel or other Far East Asian countries like Vietnam, Malaysia etc. That’s when the US discovered its life is in the hands of China. After the travel ban was lifted, American ports witnessed surge in shipments arrivals and in a day more than 200 largest ships in the world could be waiting to berth at JUST ONE US’s Western port.

It’s Covid 19 that exposed the US that it’s no longer global leader beside(s) China. The whole global supply chain came to a halt because China could not manufacture or ship. It’s the Americans that would pay for the sanctions and high tariffs because it’s not easy to quickly start setting up gigantic factories like those in China now, in the US. It will take years and more public debts for the US. What China (and probably, Russia) is/are trying to crack up is the SWIFT banking technology being used in sending and authorizing payments worldwide. It’s part of what led to the birth of BRICS. America knows it’s using its Dollars to hold the world economy down and it knows once China is able to develop its own world payment and banking system, the game is over because America has great influence on the Cooperative ownership of SWIFT system. China has more countries under its belt than the US. China ’owes’ all Arabian-Asian countries. It owes Africa, greater parts of Eastern Europe, some parts of Western Europe ( because it manufactures a lot for European companies), and a chunk of American companies. It’s growing at least 10% every year. Forget about what the western economists and their media houses report at 5-7% every year. That % is never a bad one though but China’s growth percentage is more than that. So, if China is able to develop its own world payment systems, it would pull the plug off the US. I hope you travel to the US and China then compare the two countries from economic and production angles.
I had to quote all. Thank you very much. Our people are so cooked by US propaganda, which is not surprising as we're an Anglophone nation and historical reasons such as slavery and the likes. You have summarised everything. The West led by the US wouldn't be able to win this Cold War this time around. The Chinese are too business pragmatic and have the Global South locked in.

I am not surprised many Chinese businesses have used Canada as a loophole to ship to the US - Hongcuver Vancouver - has a lot of ethnic Chinese through which businesses can latch on to have their bases in Canada and export to the US.

As for factories and manufacturing, Western countries cannot defeat China. It is not just possible. The alternative would have been to shift factories to Africa but for some inexplicable reasons, the West has refused to do this, rather they shift factories to South East Asia - countries that are culturally aligned to China. Even if factories are shifted to Africa, Chinese businesses would set up factories in Africa as they have done in Vietnam and Malaysia in a bid to ship to the US.

Anyone who says the TikTok ban isn't geopolitical is simply a liar, no ifs or buts. Huawei faced worse than this. Yet today, Huawei has bounced back.

There is Youtube and Quora for instance.

You see leaders who care about their citizens safety, you say they are fighting competition.
