Since we are supposed to make up I wont prod further but surely you have witnessed or read about the Chinese protests over housing, the extreme level of unemployment in the youth or how the Chinese government ordered the Little Red Book app (the TikTok clone) to separate the Chinese mainland users from the international because of western ideas.
Even Chinese military might is starting to struggle due to the rampant corruption that mirrors the Russian military. The Chinese Navy is often cited as a huge threat to the US but there is a huge difference is putting a machine gun on a fishing boat and calling it a navy vessel and having an actual warship. Not to mention China, last time I checked, was still trying to get the nuclear sub it launched and immediately sunk off the river bed.....
Is the US government perfect oh hell no but what you are saying is wild. You need to look into US history if you want to truly find cronyism... I am not sure Trump is in the top 10 Presidents for it.
Blaming Jews is a straight up sick and disgusting thing. I mean I have tried to figure out how to address that because I mean seriously your at the step before telling me the Holocaust did not happen. If you are going to blame money where is the very deep pockets of the Arab oil money? Or the old US money that is definitely not Jewish? Look at the richest people in the world and those corporations you mean to tell me they are all controlled by Jewish people?
I dont know @optimism how do you rationalize these thoughts and comments about a group of people who have been slaughtered throughout their existence?
I blame Jewish bankers, not the Jewish people- just to be very clear...so please do not misrepresent me on this emotive topic.
Just as I do not hate the Russian people 21 million of whom died in WW2 fighting the Nazis, I do not like their current war Putin...and it is clear evidence of the moral decay of the USA that Trump is pandering so sickeningly to Putin when he is a war criminal despot.
Perhaps it is because Trump himself is a convicted criminal as well?
USA today is lead by a crackpot criminal narcissist .
The Chinese are now garnering nuclear submarine technology from their new tributary dependents Russia.
Certainly China is not yet at the same level of military technology as the US but it is definitely catching up. Modern warfare is rapidly changing with Biotech, Robotics, AI, Nanotech, Space and Cyberspace the new frontiers- and in all these areas Chinas centrally directed strategic efforts are advancing upon the west.
China build half the worlds shipping.
The USA less than 0.5%.
The USA has lost the trade war- Chinas economy is streamlined to minimise rentseeking infrastructure monopolists and cartels in a way similar to how USA used to limit them- until the USA was taken over by corporate/banker lobbyists who now openly run the US government.
The US government is held over a barrel of debt to Jewish bankers and corporate sponsors.
Don't let the facts get in the way of your US exceptionalism.

This is the last one you are going to get out of me because I am taking a page out of @SimpleStacker's playbook and @optimism I tried man... This guy needs some serious self reflection and quite frankly maybe some mental help.
There is no evidence that these "Jewish bankers" you claim exist and if so kinda interesting you never pointed to a source. If you say the Rothschilds I can easily say you are stupider than a rock and I feel bad for insulting the poor rock because it didnt do anything.
The Jones Act addresses part of the US shipbuilding issue as it covers who can fly the US flag. However, you are failing to realize this isnt a ship to ship comparison. The US stopped building shipping boats long ago... why? Because we did not need to other countries like Greece, South Korea, and Japan would build just as good of ships cheaper. So we specialized.
God bless you for thinking that a closed research industry is successful. Go look at history to show you that is not the case. In China you cannot research whatever and push what ever boundaries you want like in the US. I mean for the love of God you were dumb enough to mention space..... uhhh China has been doing things that the US did decades ago.
Coming from a small town kid in the South Jesus your education was bad. You are failing to defend your point and just try to add additional ones to cover up the fact you never addressed the holes I was able to easily poke in your posts. Centralization is known to lead to failure in science and ask the Soviets how it went. Only reasons they were able to figure out an atomic bomb was espionage and hmmm who does that remind you of?
Are there things China could do like attack Taiwan sure but they would be on the losing end when Taiwan blows up all the chip factories. Then they just get a pissed off population and nothing that they wanted. Not to mention the porcupine strategy that will just make China bleed live a siv with little gain.
You have created this idea that the US is a fallen empire when people are throwing a fit right now because we are not being the world police and we are not putting boots on the ground. Thats the complete opposite of what you are describing.
Thoughts and prays to you bud but honestly.... you need to go see a doctor and talk out your wild and honestly gross thoughts. There is help out there.

You claim to work in Congress, with as usual zero evidence of the claim- however if true, which I doubt, this would simply be further evidence of the trouble the USA is in. You admit the sheer vacuous nonsense US media has become. The vat of US culture is being poisoned from within...no need for Tik tok.
The USA has not just farmed out shipping, but almost all heavy industry and medium and light productive industry.
That is part of the reason you have not enjoyed a trade surplus for SEVEN DECADES.
That is why you are now so heavily dependent upon your legacy USD hegemony and the seigniorage/interest income it delivers.
This is why Trump threatened the BRICS that if they continue adopting Chinas alternative trade payments routing (as Iran, Russia and N.Korea have already done) he will place punitive sanctions on them. Trump understand that if the USA were to lose USD reserve currency status the USA would be insolvent very swiftly.
The USAs remaining strategic power is fragile and rests upon the USD.
USA has not won a war since--------WHEN?
Chinas power is built upon competitive productive scale.
Yes they lack the innovative research ability the west still leads on that- but China has mastered reverse engineering what the west expends its declining resources upon developing- take the recent AI coup.
China serves more nations more than USA does- China provides the most lucrative commodity markets and the most cost effective efficiently produced manufactured goods.
USA can cling to its fading hegemony but when the dollar is increasingly being replaced by Chinas shadow banking trade payments alternative the clock is ticking and US decline seems unlikely to be reversed. Wishful thinking, cosying up to Putin, alienating traditional allies and denial of the facts will certainly not save it.
