It's the economy
Building a US-led alliance to counter China would require enormous resources, and the US's looming massive national debt means this idea will ultimately remain just a theoretical concept. If these allies were willing to purchase large amounts of long-term, interest-free US Treasury bonds, I believe the US would be happy to build such an anti-China alliance. However, the funds available from Japan and Taiwan alone are far from sufficient, so the US will likely choose to squeeze more allies to fill the gap.

I said what they were going to do. I never claimed that they were going to be any good at it! ;)

The United States is afflicted with a lot of forms of malaise - from the failure of the social contract to the K-shaped economy to the sheer inability of the government to get anything done. There are no major actors in the US who are willing to fix any of these problems so the only thing that they can do is to blame someone else for them. As things stand, anti-China rhetoric is about the only thing that American politicians can agree upon so we're bound to see a lot more of it once Trump is gone.

The good news is that I think that the US is starting to realize that a military confrontation with China is a terrible idea. So the US will go back to their old tricks of building alliances to take on China diplomatically and economically; basically the same stuff we saw during the Obama and Biden administrations. The difference is that China is actually ready to fight back toe to toe, and the US has squandered much of its reputation.

Although I agree with most of the post, I really doubt the Americans will return to the same strategy of trying to undermine or contain China.

What I mean by this, is the Americans will still try to show the appearance of containing China, which is what the propaganda is for.

The reality today is that the Americans are firing blanks.

:p

It really goes all the way back to the Huawei 5G versus the US government war.

In the end, the US government could not even slow down a single Chinese company.

That really is the bottom line.

When it comes to AI, telecommunications, pharmaceuticals, drones, robots, electronics, EVs, green energy, and advanced weaponry, US firings blanks against China.

:cool:
