    It’s freaking hilarious how untrustworthy China is, yet the US still trips over themselves to buy Chinese crap. The capitalist race to the bottom in full effect, from the economy to the gov’t.

        “Chinese crap” is what allows America to build F-35 fighter jets, the same crap that also commands 45 to 50 percent of total shipbuilding globally.

        Taiwanese =/= Chinese ;)

          It’s not commanded in Taiwan, do you think 50% of the global shipbuilding could be done in a small island? lmao

          Furthermore, “Taiwan” is a province of the People’s Republic of China with no separate status according to resolution 2758 of the United Nations:
