The irony is that the USA and the West had underestimated China for centuries. That is how the mindset that Chinese are only good to be chefs and laundrymen. Anything that China does well is all just copying the West. How could just plain copying eventually enabled China to overtake the West in many sectors? The kung-fu master not teaching a student everything eventually lost to the student that innovated faster than the master.
Did China copy the West in putting up the Tiangong Space Station. China was not even allowed to set foot on the International Space Station, and yet China was able to build one to silence the West.
If we just swallow Western propaganda, China invented nothing at all. In fact, China invented some very important game changing things. Gunpowder, the invention that powers rockets and used in weapons was a Chinese invention. Paper and printing that was to revolutionize the dissemination of knowledge and education around the world was a Chinese invention. The compass, another revolutionary invention, allowed navigation on the high seas that propelled exploration. The seismograph for the detection of earthquakes was another great invention by the Chinese.
All of China's efforts are now touted to be just copying the West. When China comes out with something that resembles what is made in the West, it must be copying. Cars with wheels, planes with wings, ships with propellers, high-speed trains with rails are all copied from the West.

Good Morning All,
ReplyDeleteYes China invented the gun powders but unlike the White Barabians and Savages does NOT made them into Deadly Arsenals to invade and looted the Coloured Naive and Gentle Humble Peace Loving live and live beans and that is their Greatest Mistake and Blunder.

But Ahem soon, very soon this be happening .
Many many awaiting for the Big Melons especially that Karloine instead of "C" be "K" wah KkKlux Khan ah?

Anything in the minds of rogues becomes some weapons to be used against others.
ReplyDeleteReligion was the first to be used as a weapon to steal the lands of Native American Indians, Australian Aborigines and New Zealand indigenous Maoris, not to speak of countless Pacific Islanders also falling into the same trap. Opium was used to drug the Chinese to make them weak, hoping to take over China like North America. Even money, the root of all evil, becomes a weapon for sanctioning. Holy shit, even tariffs is now being used as an economic weapon to target everyone to make them succumb to USA Rules Based Order.
But that is backfiring. Why is everyone still asking about ships carrying goods bypassing USA ports? Just for fun or laughter? No, the world is finding new channels for trade, as there is a bigger world besides the USA to trade with.
As an example, Trump's 50% tariffs on Brazilian coffee does not kill Brazil's coffee industry. China is the biggest beneficiary of Trump's move, with almost immediate move into the Brazilian coffee export industry with deals made fast and furious. These are deals for the long term and Brazilian coffee beans are not going to the USA any time soon. Who suffers from the tariffs? USA roasters are being crippled as Brazilian coffee is the mainstay of USA coffee chains.
Trump's tariff war is just like a blind man throwing darts not knowing where it will land. So many of Trump's tariffs are hitting at USA businesses like bolts of lightning, with no avenues to avoid disaster. What businesses that goes to China is not ever going to go back to the USA. That is a fact, and Trump is making it happen faster than ever. Scott Bessant and Howard Lutnick can carry on their spin, but the reality is there for all to see.
