Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

This is where China gives me hope, if anybody can take leadership on such a huge project it's China with their demonstrated ability to deliver huge engineering miracles. I do think we're going to be in for a rough time, but I do remain optimistic that humanity will come through in the end, and the whole capitalist ideology will be forever discredited when the dust settles.
This is where I see a potential flashpoint for global conflict. The United States will do everything in its power to oppose and destabilize China as it emerges as a global leader, even as the US itself declines due to its inability to adapt to climate change.
I have a lot of hope in China but I worry.
That's my read on the situation as well. I imagine anybody who's spent any time trying to understand what's happening is quite worried at this point, but at the end of the day all we can do is watch and hope for the best. The comic incompetence that's been on display by the US regime over the past two years is a big cause of optimism as well. I firmly believe that Chinese leadership can effectively plan around whatever schemes these clowns come up with going forward.
