re: China Getting Crushed - Straight From the Horse’s Mouth

China, the ccp, is weak in that they cannot survive without exporting goods that is financing their economy. China is at a 69 percent ratio of being able to produce enough food to feed it's people. Some dim wit on this site mentioned that china was stock piling gold. China is not even in the top 5 in gold reserves in the world. The United States has more gold reserves than than the top four countries that follow combined. As far as manufacturing, the United State is second in manufacturing and in an emergency could be number one in a matter of months

Alright, your post is a wild mix of half baked claims and straight up nonsense, so let’s use actual facts. First off, China’s economy isn’t some fragile export machine ready to collapse. It’s the world’s second-largest by nominal GDP, biggest by purchasing power parity, and accounts for 18% of global output. Sure, exports are big, about 20% of GDP, but their domestic market is massive, with the private sector driving 60% of GDP and 80% of urban jobs. The US isn’t exactly trade shy either, running a $971 billion trade deficit in 2022. Calling China weak here is just lazy. On food, you’re kinda right, China’s self-sufficiency is around 65.8%, projected to hit 58.8% by 2030, but the US imports 15% of its food too, like 80% of seafood. China’s still the top ag producer globally, feeding 1.4 billion. Your 69% stat’s close but misses the bigger picture. Now, gold reserves? You’re way off. China’s 6th with 2,295 tonnes, not out of the top 5, and the US’s 8,133 tonnes don’t outstrip the next four combined, which total 10,538 tonnes. Math isn’t your friend here. China’s also buying gold like crazy, adding 12.8 tonnes in Q1 2025, while the US sits pat. Manufacturing? Yeah, the US is second to China’s 29% of global output, but catching up in months? That’s a pipe dream. Supply chains, raw materials, scaling, it takes years, not a montage. Look at the CHIPS Act’s crawl. And putting China back to the third world? Pure fantasy. Their $3.24 trillion in reserves, biggest navy by ships, and 120+ trade partners say otherwise. The US is a beast, with $21 trillion GDP and $877 billion in military spending, but a quick KO? Nah, both sides would bleed. As for the pro-China, anti-USA jab, I’m just pro-facts, not cheering for anyone.

Lol the EU and China are making deals without us. Guess we made too many enemies at one time.
