Singapore and Hong Kong were the kike states but it looks like some of the kike shit got moved to taiwan, which makes sense because it's safer and isn't as tied to china as hong kong and singapore are. pre 1997 hong kong was probably safer

the entire reason this relationship with asia exists is simply because america was too niggerized and dumb to run the same production levels - there's nothing special about asia that makes it the default chip maker - it's just a reflection of western incompetence

Why the fuck would they surrender? Taiwan controls other islands only 10 km off the mainland Chinese coast and China has been unable to sieze even those: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinmen

China has a puny GDP per capita because they still have a billion dirt poor rice farming assholes all over.

Taiwan is a US vassal that is being propped up/subsidized by the United States and the US financial system. We help make them rich to keep them dependent on us. Moreover, these numbers are based on nominal exchange rates, not purchasing power-parity.

As to the image, China's GDP began slowing as a result of Trump's trade war. Not because "muh communism". And furthermore, the image is somewhat retarded because GDP growth is exponential. Basically, a 5% growth rate at $40k is $2k. Whereas a 10% growth rate at $10k is only $1k.

The chart started diverging significantly around 1960. Is Trump a time traveler, or are you just retarded and illiterate?

America gave far more aid to China than Taiwan

You're retarded. It's not about aid. It's about markets, trade deals, subsidies, etc. Why do you think Israel is rich? The entire Israeli economy is built and subsidized by the United States. Taiwan's industry was literally put in place by the United States using fucking Dutch technology developed by US corporations, and given favorable access to Western markets. Thus Taiwan is getting perpetual aid even if there are no transfers.

As for China, the reason America sent anything to China was to split them from the Soviets. We basically promised to build them up and give them access to our markets(see opening of China) because had we not we would have lost the Cold War. The Soviet Union went bankrupt because they were surrounded by powerful and hostile enemies that drained its budget. Not because "muh communism".

America continued to give China favorable access to our markets even after the Cold War to scare the shit out of the Russians to pressure them into effectively subordination. It was our strategy. It failed because BRICS and because of Putin. So now we're trying to stop and even reverse Chinese growth.

China is less communist than America, retard. China's problem is that the American Navy and the American dollar basically control/manage global resources and the global economy. Just like the British Empire did before us.

For that matter, our vassals don't give a fuck about capitalism or democracy. They are our vassals for only one reason, money. Without America, Taiwan would either be Chinese, Japanese, or a total shithole. It's not a real country.

lol. America is literally the only reason China has any more. We funded them. Their rise is literally directly related to us helping them out during the sino-soviet split. You are nothing without us Chink

Go listen to that Richard Nixon interview you retarded fucking nigger. We didn't "fund them", we "cut them in". And the reason we "cut them in" was to separate them from the Soviet Union. We also "cut Taiwan in" as well as South Korea, Japan, Europe, etc. That's how empires are managed you retarded fucking nigger.

But again, as Richard Nixon explains, had we not done what we did, we would have lost the Cold War, because China and Russia together are too strong. So all this talk about how much is fucking irrelevant. I have no idea why all the low IQ niggers in this thread keep talking about it.
