Let's kill people

I doubt it. China's too big of a supplier of labor. China would be stupid to start anything unless they wanted to lose an influx of money and likewise the US would be stupid to start anything because really, the only thing they aren't supplied with from China these days are guns and miscellaneous vehicles.

That, and starting any sort of military scuffle with them isn't a wise move.

Lol. America should increase its naval presence in the South China Sea.

The Commies won't fucking do anything.

this. china has a vested stake in the continued economic success of the USA, and vice versa.

China is reliant on the US. The US isn't reliant on China. If need be the US can move on to the next shitty country with piss poor labor laws to exploit for its cheap plastic crap.

The US is reliant on China insomuch as the work done is capital intensive, and the time needed to move industry out of China to somewhere else wouldn't be able to avoid myriad negative consequences of tension between the countries.

I personally am disgusted with how dependent we are. One thing every nation on Earth should strive for is to be 100% self-sufficient.

Jester · May 27, 2015, 10:50:52 AM

Both countries would be boned if they tried anything. They're both dependent as hell on one another.

Korra · May 27, 2015, 02:57:15 PM

They should really get a room if they are having tensions.

LOL

What so funny with being independent? I don't know about you, but if I could be independent from businesses for food, electricity and maybe even water.. It'd be paradise.
