Again. We did not kill the leader of Iran. Iran has even said that the US didn't do it. Why is that so hard for you to understand? China kidnaps people all the time, puts them in "reeducation camps," jails dissents for decades, not to mention coercing and forcing Uyghur women to marry Han Chinese, or "encouraging" Han Chinese to move to Tibet essentially creating colonies.

Frankly its the pot calling the kettle black given China's extreme internal suppression policies and people like Jack Ma essentially disappearing for two years because he criticized China.

China has admitted itself that it does not lead in innovation. That is a critical handicap. Chinese robotics are not good and we have seen video of how bad they are from straight up faking it with people to the robots going wild and destroying themselves. They don't have anything near the quality that someone like Boston Scientific has.

The EV tech is stolen, wind turbines have been found to have asbestos in them (ask Australia how that has worked out), the solar tech there companies are losing billions a year, and the nuclear generation lead you talk about is a mixture of stolen Westinghouse tech and open source US science from the 50's and 60's.

China's advantage has been breakneck speed and ignore risks associated with it. However, they are facing significant pollution issues, youth unemployment rates, and general unrest due to a series of failed policies including in solar (like mentioned before), housing, and labor disputes.

Its electricity is in part because its rapidly opening up powerplants that are coal and it is destroying the environment. Lets not forget how they messed up damming their rivers so bad that during monsoon season they ended up having to blow up a lot of them. By the end of last year the had a huge issue in massive solar projects they had built but well forgot they had to plug them into the grid.

More importantly China cannot produce pure enough semiconductors for electronic devices. They were able to hit the lower level of high purity for solar cells (the six 9's) but cannot produce the critical ultra-high purity (nine 9's).

You hint at China or anyone having a moral high ground over the U.S. when that just isnt the case. Trump has been in office now for a whole 13 months and yet you call him an emperor? What does that make Xi then? Pretty sure Xi has purged his country's leadership sentencing people to death or life in jail while others have disappeared. Pretty sure China is a bully in the South China Sea not to mention a bully with its Belt and Road Initiative which was never designed to actually help anyone only give a legal reason to take countries resources.

The war in Afghanistan was won militarily. I mean the USSR who was right there wasn't able to pull off what we were able to. What we failed at was nation building. Two entirely different things. Just like you mentioned yesterday how the U.S. just loses all of these wars and even with Vietnam the U.S. had been pulled out of the country for two years before the South fell.

This is the last time I am going to deal with you over this because its just not worth it. You dip duck and dodge like you are playing dodgeball. You act like China is so superb but don't live there. You consistently get your information just blatantly wrong. I mean its literally called a CIA black site idk what a grey site is because a grey site means a legal, unofficial channels selling branded goods (electronics, software, video games) not authorized by the original manufacturer. The US could find a cure for cancer and you would criticize it. I talk openly about not agreeing with everything the US is doing but you refuse to ever budge or acknowledge things that everyone know are happening. It is the wildest thing.
