China has been our adversary since the 2010s

since the late 2010s, specifically with trump’s trade wars being the tipping point 🥸

“Adversary” being used to refer to people we don’t know across the sea is a little cray cray. Western Governments feels china is a threat to their exploitation machine bc it is.

I follow the realist school of foreign policy, and in that view China could be considered an adversary even prior to its joining the WTO but I said 2010s bc that’s when they overtook our manufacturing base across the board. China is no angel, it follows a culturally genocidal policy in Tibet and Xinjiang

economic competitors then, not so far as adversaries. and even then that’s our governments and the wealthy, not really the people

most states are in a differing stage of cultural genocide and that’s part of a but amerikkka is a settler colony that has done genocides and is currently enacting genocidal policy within our borders (multiple) including carceral and structural genocides, while being implicated in genocides in the global south, nearing the triple digits.

that’s part of majoritarianism, the nation-state global order, and surveillance capitalism. most surveillance and repression regimes have genocidal implications. i’m still confused as to why she should be attacked for representing china? dislike her all u want, it’s not valid grounds

Our culture pretty much worships capital atp, our elites sell out our industry for cheap production to China, if anything she’s behaving in a stereotypically American way capturing our elite zeitgeist better

It’s not even that convoluted. America doesn’t take care of their athletes as well as some other countries and she received an opportunity best for her. People wanna get mad but they’d do it for half what she’s getting.

this is why realists are so stupid. settler colonialism isn’t a fucking event ITS A STRUCTURE. amerika is a settler colony. and all of the land will need to be decolonized.

I think you’re assuming me to believe something I was explaining as an answer. I recognize we live in a world of nation states, and gave the explanation accordingly, that doesn’t mean I like or necessarily support it. It’s dog eat dog out there

I think it is in terms of current ongoing internal cultural genocide fs. External genocide America takes the cake, largely bc of Israeli control of our gov, but I think once China begins to flex their imperial muscle post us decline you’ll see similar things happen from them. History is littered with the tales of brutal empire, and China already has its fair share of that brutality historically for those who dare to read it

that doesn’t negate what i said though and amerika is still doing internal genocide. ICE has been doing genocide; the amerikan state never stopped genociding African Americans and the Indigenous Nations of Turtle Island.

idk why u need to explain bc a lot of people know that this influenced why ppl got enraged that she was representing china yall do too much when it comes to playing the devil’s advocate and you don’t even do it well bc u rely on reductionism, false binaries, extremities/exceptionalism, anachronisms/retroactivity, and fundamentally misunderstand and misconstrue disparate material conditions as analogous

israel is an american project, a proxy, a military outpost in the middle east, a bulwark against arab communism. its eliminationism is modeled off of manifest destiny which had influenced lebensraum and cecil rhodes which influenced zionism heavily the state itself is genocidal and the land will need to be decolonized from the river to the sea, but idk if accepting that israel, like amerikkka, is a genocidal settler colony is smth that will sit easy with you.

our corporation oligarchical colonial circlejerk extends all the way to israel. politicians have never served the people, all they have done is project empire. anything that benefitted citizens, settlers, or made life better for indigenous people was a strategic concession and was *in spite* of pushback (even the pushback was genocidal at times) from the amerikkkan govt. just look at the beginning of the civil rights movement. so they are protecting the empire and answering to elite interest
