Actually, the US can mine some rare earths, but it cannot refine or process them at industrial scale. Refining rare earths produces toxic gases, acidic wastewater, and radioactive waste that the US simply cannot handle without making costs skyrocket.

China doesn't care about these environmental issues and has been running state-led rare earth projects for over 40 years, giving them the world's best refining technology. Today, over 90% of global rare earth refining happens in China, and heavy rare earth processing is essentially only possible there.

As a result, rare earths have become a strategic weapon for China. Even, The US has to send rare earths mined on its own soil to China for processing. In other words, the US has rare earth elements, but it has no ability to use them. (It would take the US at least 10 years to reach China level rare earth refining technology)

America never should have bought Louisiana. You’d be speaking perfect French now instead of your butchered English, and maybe your culture wouldn’t be Walmart tier

I get it, you love your Mexican slaves narrative, but here's the deal, the past and present aren't the same. Back before the Hart-Celler Act, wages were way lower, working conditions were brutal, and fewer alternatives existed. Today, American wages are much higher, and domestic workers refuse to do backbreaking labor for low pay.

That's why farms rely on undocumented workers willing to take these jobs

But you guys are already less than 80% native born, with over 20% being second or third world immigrants. The people you look down on are literally holding up your society and economy. Now, without them, Germany would collapse

It's strange that people consider Korea's Taegeuk to be the same as China's Taiji.
The concept of Taegeuk in Korea did not come from Chinese religious influence; it has existed since the Three Kingdoms period during the Buddhist era.
The term "太極" used is just a borrowed name, while the concept and design have been passed down in Korea for a long time.

But seriously, what the hell is this "Han Chinese" anyway? It's a made up label forced on everyone after the Xinhai Revolution. Do you really think the folks living in Beijing back then felt they belonged to the same "Han" group as ethnic on the remote slopes of Sichuan? and how the hell do they call all those people "Hakka, Cantonese, Hokkien, Chaoshan, Hainanese" the same "Han chinese"? Even the languages spoken up north and down south are drastically different, not just dialects level, but basically entirely different languages.

Yes, "Han" is just a convenient fantasy to cover up massive ethnic and cultural splits that never really went away, Also that's exactly why China can never create a common symbol that truly represents them. The term "Han" itself is a modern invention designed to suppress divisions. How could such a fractured collection of peoples ever have a genuine unifying symbol?

Mate which one's worse the guy who says he'll send everyone who doesn't believe him to eternal hellfire, or the one who at least tempts you once and then leaves you alone if you resist?

Honestly, I think the first guy's way more of a villain

You say you don't give a shit about what others think, just get them out. But CEOs just want to keep using Indians lol

Also Trump can't even expose the pedophile client lists right under his nose, yet when a big country like India doesn't back him diplomatically, he throws a childish tantrum and takes it out on powerless people right in front of him, wrecking diplomatic relations with a major country.

If you honestly think that's something to be proud of, then either your mind's broken or you're just plain crazy

Your "scientific consensus" sounds like Brazil's economy forecasts, full of guesses and a dash of wishful thinking lmaor

Forget zoomers in the West, once AI and robots fully take over labor, it won't be the Western zoomers who have the problem, it'll be China that gets utterly fucked.

The only reason the global economy kept inflation low for the past two decades is because China acted as the world's sweatshop, exploiting slave-tier wages to mass-produce cheap shit for everyone else.

But once AI-powered robots start replacing human labor across the board, why the hell would anyone invest in China or build factories there anymore? When automation goes global, China's entire economic engine collapses.

No one needs a billion underpaid factory drones when a few automated lines can do it faster, cheaper, and without political headaches.

This is an Islamic empire, rather than a Turkic one. Of course, since all Turks are Muslims, they're practically synonymous, but the title should still be set properly.
