America chopping their fingers, hands and legs to compete with China

SYDNEY: In a world riven by great-power conflict, economic decoupling, high inflation and worries that the interests of capital are being put ahead of workers, an obvious enemy can emerge: Technology. The best way to preserve the status quo is to destroy the machinery that promises a change to existing ways. 

That was the thinking of the Luddites, a movement of textile workers in early 19th century England. Discomfited by the trade embargoes and financial crisis of the Napoleonic wars, they smashed up powered looms and weaving frames, hoping to slow the tide of innovation they saw as undercutting their livelihoods.  CNA

The above quote by David Fickling sums up everything that is happening in the USA.

When the Americans cannot win, they lie, they cheat and they kill, to stay on top. But when these still cannot make any difference, then it is time to chop off fingers, hands and legs, to survive, or at least pretend that all is well. The American strategy or lack of strategy against the rise of China, is to build a paper wall to keep China out. No, China is not invading America militarily, but engaging in fair play, in fair trade, by innovation, creativity, hard work, to produce better products and services at better prices against the Americans and winning. 

The last two or three remaining pride of the Americans, Boeing, Apple and NASA, are going obsolete. Boeing is killing itself by churning out unreliable and dangerous planes that killed, intentionally or unintentionally or be design or failure of design. Move aside, Boeing, you are history. Apple has been cheating its loyal supporters by churning out an old piece of tech, with little improvement, and now technically outdated, and charging at exorbitant prices. Why pay so much for old technology when one can buy something better, more technology, better made and at cheaper prices. As for NASA, still living on past fake glory. What has NASA achieved over the last 3 or 4 decades? Zero, nothing. Just keep hitting replay year after year with nothing new to show.

When the Americans cannot produce a workable 5G against the sophisticated 5G and now 6G of Huawei, blocked Huawei, and coerced all American users not to use Huawei and faked 4G tech as the American 5G. Also, forced all American colonies, allies and crony states not to use Huawei 5G. See, everything is fine,  4G calling it 5G is still good and working.

Apple cannot compete with Huawei, banned Huawei, and Apple wins! But for how long?

And the latest, EVs, the new tech in automobiles. Cannot compete, stop importing EVs into America, be happy and contented with ICE technology and continue to live in the time of the Wild Wild West. Why don't the Americans go back to ride on horse or ox driven bandwagons? Elect Donald Duck as the President and he would protect the American ICE automobile industry by banning EVs or raise tariff on EVs to 100%. Donald Duck is so brilliant, the best American brain at work.

What about high speed trains? What high speed trains? American 1960s train network are high speed trains and chucking along fine, very fast. No need for China's high speed trains. China's high speed trains are fakes. Oops, China's high speed train technology were stolen from the Americans. Americans are very satisfied with their 1960s high speed trains, like NASA so happy with their 'moon landings' and their ability to send astronauts to the ISS, hitch hiking from Russian rockets.Do not cooperate with Chinese space scientists. NASA is the best. 'Psst, can we have some moon rock samples from Moon rabbit rover aka Chang-e?' Every country is throwing away the fake moon rocks NASA gave to them. Museums exhibiting the fake moon rocks have placed a card with the word 'FAKE' beside them.

The next big challenge for the Americans is to dismantle all the port cranes Made In China, like they dismantled Huawei's 5G network, and replace them with something Made In America. But this something is still work in progress. The idea is to banned Chinese cranes that are cheap, good and highly efficient, which literally translated as bad for America, spying on America.

As for chip manufacturers, stop them from selling their chips to China.  If they lose money, its their own business. After all, TSMC, AMD and Nvidia are Taiwanese companies, and Taiwanese are Chinese. They can fold up, not a problem to America. In fact it would be better for other American chip manufacturers. Lesser competition. Intel and Qualcomm are ok, they are Americans and must be protected from going bust.

And TikTok, so dangerous, sending all data on America to China. This one must also be banned or be bought over by an American company as it is very profitable. Ban anything from China, build an American paper wall to block advanced Chinese technology entering America. America is self sufficient and happy with its 1960s technology and way of life. America is Great, Make America Great Again by keeping new technology out of America. America was Great in the Past, keep it that way and live in the Past.

America does not need 5G, does not need high speed train, does not need EVs, does not need efficient port cranes, all America needs is either Donald Trump or Biden. Either one will Make America Great Again, like in the Past with ancient technology.
