The only thing worse than white supremacy is Han supremacy

My fellow Americans, wanna know where most of the fentanyl in your neighborhood comes from? Who does Hollywood, academia and journalists get their duffle bags of small unmarked bills from? Whose building those highways in Texas and buying up farmland? Factories? Homes? Where's all that cyberwarfare, bribery, long game subversion J U S T beginning to unfold coming from?

That's right, but first things first:

China hasn't won a war in 400 years. They massively outnumbered the enemy sometimes 1,000 to 1 in every conflict and they still lost. Even when they had technological parity with the enemy (rather than spear-wielding medieval fucksticks vs. Europeans with guns), they still lost. You have to go back to the 1600s and find them slaughtering Russian migrants in Manchuria to find a war where they beat a foreign power, and it's debatable whether you can call sending soldiers to massacre unarmed peasants who have no military support a war. Not that their centuries of humiliating failure have prevented them from declaring victory, like when they attacked unarmed fishing boats and declared it a victory over the Philippines. Or when they invaded Vietnam, achieved none of their stated objectives, took disproportionate casualties, were driven out, and then declared victory anyway. They're in the habit of lying to save face and try to look less incompetent. Basically, every war with China goes the same way: China rushes the enemy with millions of screaming soldiers. Millions of screaming soldiers get slaughtered while inflicting less than dire casualties on the enemy. China retreats in defeat, then announces that they really won after all and only pulled out because they were tired of playing. China quivers in impotent rage as it relives the Opium Wars over and over.

The Korean War! Communists invaded South Korea and China alone sent in 1.5x as many troops as every country supporting South Korea. China took overwhelming losses and pulled out of the war. At the Battle of Chosin Reservoir, China had an American unit surrounded and outnumbered 40 to 1. The American unit broke out and destroyed 40% of the entirety of Chinese military strength in North Korea, thoroughly humiliating China in the process. The invasion of South Korea was defeated and both sides agreed to a ceasefire that continues to this day. Result: American victory, humiliating loss for China.

The Vietnam War! America gets dragged into France's conflict because of commies, again. The American forces consistently rape the North Vietnamese army and VC guerrillas, but wasn't allowed to end the war because politicians didn't want them invading North Vietnam or Cambodia. America eventually pulled out of the war because of communist sympathizers at home swaying politicians, not because of any military losses. North Vietnam was utterly incapable of beating South Vietnam while America was in the war. China then decided to invade Vietnam. The entire war lasted less than a month. China, which massively outnumbers Vietnam, invaded a country that was already exhausted from decades of constant war. China invaded with 6 to 1 numerical superiority and suffered more casualties than Vietnam, lost 420 tanks (vs. 185 Vietnamese tanks). China retreated, leaving Vietnam in control of Cambodia, the Spratly Islands, and basically every other piece of territory China wanted to claim. China remains butthurt to this day and still claims they won the war and are the rightful owners of the Spratly Islands.

Is a picture starting to be formed here? China has been destroyed by multiple ethnic and political groups in what is now modern China for centuries. Then China was destroyed by the Mongols. Repeatedly. Then the Japanese. Then the French. Then the British. Then the Germans. Then the Japanese again. Then the Russians, several times. Then the Americans. Then the Japanese again. Then the Americans and South Koreans. Then the Vietnamese. Even fucking India, a country that gives incompetence a new meaning, has given China as much shit as China has given it. So whose turn is it to make China their bitch this time? Their tactics are shit and consist entirely of human wave frontal assaults, which suck when going up against fortifications, machine guns, artillery, armor, air support, and basically anything that isn't a bunch of spearchucking savages like the millions of Chinese rushing at you in a screaming horde.

Asymetrical warfare during a cyberpunk dystopia without all the cool stuff it is! Now only if the military industrial complex can pivot to such a thing, which we all know it won’t.

If you think that’s silly, just wait till you find out how many spies have been busted within arm’s reach of people in public office. Or celebrities beholden to their talking points. Or journalists who try extra super hard to get a wire transfer from the People’s Bank of China. Anyways, if you’ve gotten this far and can’t piece together an answer, allow me:

China’s troops are ill-equipped and poorly trained, they don't even have a blue water navy, and, like Russia, they're not going to send troops into rural farmland on the other side of the world to make people running the show happy. They're open and blunt about the fact that they see sub-Saharan Africans as something above monkeys and below people. They’re stripmining the continent and they’re already setting up shop in Latin America and that’s just proof that neocolonialism or neoimperialism or whatever you wanna call it is fine so long as it isn’t white people doing it.

This is all so they can claim CHINA #1 in 2049 which is the one-hundred year anniversary of the People’s Republic of China. Twenty-eight years to go, I’m sure there’s enough room under their rug to sweep everything from now until then into it.
