"Only China is an arguable peer of the United States, only China’s technological and industrial might can hope to match our own, and only China has the capacity to project power globally as well as regionally."
"China offers a somewhat coherent ideological alternative to the liberal-democratic order."
"China’s one-party meritocracy can advertise itself (...) as a successor to democratic capitalism, an alternative model for the developing world."
"The establishment of Chinese military pre-eminence in East Asia would be a unique geopolitical shock, with dire effects on the viability of America’s alliance systems (...) and on our ability to maintain the global trading system that undergirds our prosperity at home."
Thanks, I appreciate the apology. I am not a transphobic person in any way. Maybe I should pay attention to peoples' bios more but I've never had any idea if I was talking to a trans person.
To give a brief outline from memory. I recieved a few stickers in a box with a keyboard I bought. They depicted a cartoon little girl with enormous breasts. I brought this up in a thread and people went nuts about it, apparently I wasn't using the correct names for the sub genres of cartoon porn. I was pissed off about it and made that comment in a different thread. I was banned from hexbear for it.
I've never been aware of chatting to a trans person on here.
