World is leaving you behind, wake up. Former US presidents had technology superiority advantage over China's massive population in the past but that one is changing really fast. China is now a leading nation in the technology world combined with her huge population.
You must be working for CCP.

Ask the article. They wrote it not me.

But I’ll give you an example. If not for Xi, Russia would have lost the war with Ukraine long ago.

There is no single sanction that the US slapped on other countries that Xi complied with. Not one. China is so powerful that it can ignore the US like it didn’t exist.

China also is the only country that sanctions the US and the US will bow and thread carefully (eg the recent tarief was that the US backed down).

The same thing Gadaffi was murdered for, Xi is doing it x100 and the US can do nothing. From BRICS, alternative payment to the USD, and the complete overall of all 20th century institutions from IMF, WTO, ICJ, world bank, UN etc to be replaced with the GGI (global governance initiative).

I can go on and on, but do not ever compare Trump to Xi. The US just have a very loud media that makes it seems like they are number one. They are not.
You are a confident liar! Many Chinese financial institutions and oil companies did bend to US economic sanctions on Russia over the Ukraine war. What some now do is that they go through third-party institutions to do business with Russia in order to try and evade the sanctions. You just want to deliberately mislead naive readers. It is all over the net for any dummy to read up. Damn!

Biggest on paper, not in reality. The US economy is propped up by Foreign reserves deposits of many countries stored in US Central Bank.

🇺🇸 GDP = $25 Trillion
🇺🇸 Debt = $39 Trillion
🇺🇸 Natural Resources = $30 Trillion


🇷🇺 GDP = $3 Trillion
🇷🇺 Debt = $280 Billion
🇷🇺 Natural Resources = $100 Trillion.
What is this second country?

You’re comparing a matured civilisation with over 5000 years of continuity under its belt, to a nation that has only existed for less than 300 years.

All what you mentioned to prove that the US is stronger than China only proves the opposite. I won’t go into them one after the other, but you must know that true strength is silent, gentle, and patient.

About Taiwan, you should know that time is on China’s side. Chinese war principle dictate that it is better to win a war without fighting. With time, Taiwanese themselves will overthrow their leaders.

Taiwanese are Chinese, and China is not in the business of war and killings, that’s America’s legacy. If the US is strong as you claimed, then it should recognise Taiwan as a country, pressure Taiwan to declare independence, and cross China’s redline.

Don’t forget that in US and all western countries law, Taiwan is a part of China, just as Kampala is a capital of Uganda. The US should prove its strength and change its laws, if it is that strong.

The present hegemony of the US is built on sand. With time, it will crumble, hence China is patience. China only have to do the right thing and let time and momentum handle the rest. You can’t overfeed a child to maturity, but give him time and you’ll get the same result.
Shebi Xi and Putin are still more powerful than trump abi?Putin had wanted to take Ukrainian leader since 2022, it took trump just minutes to remove Maduro and take him to the US. Make XI try and with any other leader in the world anywhere. Even Somalia, make e go remove the leader and take him out of the country to stand Trial in China

He's right, and the yesterday operation made his point hit home even harder. Putin took the path of patience and strategy and it paid off. He has secured prime territories, liberated ethnic Russians and have also increased his country's economic resilience.

The move US made yesterday was like that of an impatient bully and it'll definitely backfire. The last place the US wants to fight a prolonged war is in her backyard.

Now that Maduro has been kidnapped (yes, that's what it is) what exactly has shifted in Venezuela to US's favour. The highest they can do is to imprison the ex-president and nothing changes. If they are what you painted them out to be, let them repeat the operation and try to remove the interim president, since she's not their stooge.

She has taken charge and her first broadcast was to reassure her citizens that they'll rather die resisting than for then to be conquered. Except the US wants to start receiving body bags by their numbers, no thieving US company will be operating in Venezuela in the nearest future.

Time has and will once again prove the importance of patience and strategy.

Lol. You are missing it to think Putin planned to have this long war with Ukraine. It was supposed to be an operation that will end in 30weeks max. Now it is 4 years. He has lost his army, he is cajoling Africans to come on scholarship and send them to the wat. He has lost Generals. Even in Moscow, Ukraine is killing top Russian commanders with bombs and you say it has paid off. I am not justifying what the US did. I am only saying that trump is the only man in the world that can do it. Putin wanted to do same with Zelensky through Wagner. He Failed. In the end Wagner outlined and started marching to Moscow and was just 70 km away from Putin before Belarus intervened. Putin was considering relocating before Wagner stopped. As for the VP, she lost election last year with Maduro to The opposition. Even in Latin America, Costa Rica, Paraguay and others are in support of the US. The US knows what their interests are in Venezuela and they are done having a nego with Maduro. Whether what the US did is right or wrong, the point is Trump is the most powerful man in the world.

It will also take me two minutes to beat a 90 years old man to death. So what’s your point ? Strength is not judged through the defeat of the weak, but to defend it.

When America did the same to Russian or Chinese president, then I will consider it strong.

Now one quick question for you. Please name me just ONE peer competitor that the US has defeated. Just one, I didn’t say two.

Let me help you. There is none you can name.

All the so called American military defeat have always been weak, defenceless , non nuclear countries.

That is not strength. It’s tyranny, bullying, being a rogue state, all which are the hallmark of weakness.

Because China didn’t violate the sovereignty of other weaker countries doesn’t mean it can’t, or it is weak.

It simply means China is a matured civilisation that understand the importance of mutual respect, cooperation, and long term strategic thinking.

This is why China is the most merchantile country in the world with over 175 countries its main trading partner.

America is a young nation less than 260 years old. China been a civilisations of over 5000 years have seen empires rise and fall, and the US will not be different.

To survive that long like the Chinese, you can’t be weak. And if the US ever dare to go to war with China, then consider it history like other weaker empires before it.

You might take a clue from Chinese history and how the Chinese fight war. If you think Second World War was bloody, then you might read about the boxers rebellion, three kingdom war, or Djungar genocide.

Check out the top 10 list of the most bloody war in human history with the highest death toll, and most of these wars were fought in China. A whole civilisation completely wiped out and it is not enough.

These were even civil wars where it was Chinese killing Chinese. China does not want to kill Chinese, hence they are soft on Taiwan.

If the US or Japan dare interfere, then it will become a Mandate of Heaven to bequeath revenge and destroy these countries once and for all.

When the Chinese fight, the sea turns to blood. There will not be anyone to even make peace deal with because they’ll kill every single one of you.

Do not anger the Chinese. You do not want to piss off a civilisation of over 1.4B people. Peace is a privilege of the strong. China is strong, that is why it is peaceful.

The US knows this, hence they only make noise online and won’t go fight China.

You can keep vomiting western propaganda as you like, but a young, colonising empire like the US doesn’t have and cannot have the maturity of an old civilisation that have survived unbroken, like China.

US has conquered countries like japan . They are capable and superior because of jews. Remove jews, america is inept .

Only russia can strike the US if they want . Right now they are now just toying with ukraine because they are literally brothers and sisters . Imagine k1111ng yor sister just for a mere pie.


China is too busy conquering and conventing africa under the guise of petty loan companies and shell corps. They are literally milking africa for everything she got .

Yes they are soft on Taiwan. So you consider America to be Bullies but China is not Bullying Taiwan, even after all the drills and serious incursions and violation of their air space. Claiming Taiwan, even when they have never controlled that Territory in history. The purpose of this discussion is not to portray how many years of civilization they had, or have or how many wars they have fought. It is about who is the most powerful person on Earth. China is claiming islands from Japan that they have never controlled, bullying other Asian countries over territory. Keep leaving in delusion. When Russia put their missiles in Cuba, within days, they were removed. America has missiles around Russia even in old Soviet states, make Putin flex muscle and force America to remove them. I am not here to justify what America is doing to others, Venezuela or even Greenland. The point is Trump is the most powerful man who can sanction Russian and Chinese Interests. What about TikTok and Bytedance. Let China do to an American company what US is doing to Bytedance. I get that you are a China fan, kudos. But any Chinese Company that misbehaves, America will sanction it
Re: Most Powerful People In The World (Photos) by larryUG(m): 5:16pm On Jan 07
Trump just seized an oil tanker belonging to the supposed second most powerful man on Earth, and nothing will happen. Yet Putin is more powerful than Trump. Hating om America or drawing up useless lists won't change a thing. Xi and Putin Combined are not as powerful as Trump is today. Don't know of Tomorrow but as of Today Donald Trump is the Most powerful being on Earth
