Sure we could speedrun the end of US financial hegemony but what about my treats?

It achieved false catharsis, the main scam product Democrats are always selling. Performative nonsense immediately contradicted by their actual (lack of) actions. Immediately afterwards they helped confirm a Trump judicial appointment with help from Booker. His long speech wasn't even to delay any legislation. It has no so-called momentum, which you can note has no stated descriptors in the other comment. Momentum for what? Sitting on your hands and then voting for them again in 4 years? This is not a real political party, it is just the controlled opposition of the US political duopoly trying its usual parlor tricks to make its potential voters stop recognizing how they aren't cleaning house or really doing anything at all.

Real parties do exist. It is a struggle due to the aforementioned duopoly and general level of political education in the USA, but it is a struggle worth joining because this is the only "opposition" you will ever see being forwarded by the Democratic Party by its own volition. Every bit of progress has been hard fought and its vanguard has always been left organizing outside of the major parties. Join that vsnguard!

If you're a cowardly white supremacist, don't reply to this message.

The white supremacist's greatest fear is that they will be treated as harshly as they have treated others. So they must invent and imagine brutality to fear, justifying their subscription to continued ethnic cleansing against no-whites.

You need reeducation.

I don't see how you can see the persecution of Uyghurs and the forced assimilation of Xinjiang

Xinjiang is already assimilated. It is part of China and has been for ages, governed under the guiding principles of multi-ethnic administration. The persecution of Uyghurs is far kinder and more positive than anything the West has ever cooked up. Vilifying it requires a particular level of gullibility that only really exists as white supremacist laziness.

and expect China to do any better. Genocide is genocide.

China has not committed genocide. However, the countries you prefer have.

In Africa? That is actually correct. Western countries do not build hospitals in Africa. The most they do is build pharmaceutical production facilities that are later bombed by their airplanes.

The West only built hospitals in Africa before WWI when they were treating the continent as full-blown colonies. The hospitals were built in colonial trade centers for colonists, not for the indigenous people. Neocolonialism does not partake in this practice, it is premised on neoliberalism. It, at most, issues debt with anti-worker and anti-sovereignty strings attached that ends up damaging thr country's infrastructure further. It is important to understand that the OECD countries do not, generally speaking, operate by capital investment in infrastructure of imperialized countries. They are parasitic.

I think you don't even know what a debt trap is. It is certainly not the practice of forgiving debt, renegotiating debt plans, or even just eventually taking the assets provided when a country or other debtor defaults.

China has dramatically improved living conditions for its own people over the previpus 50 years. This is in stark contrast to virtually every other non-OECD country subject to imperialism. It is even in stark contrast to many OECD countries who have spent the last 50 years neoliberalizing their economies, making life overall much more expensive for their people despite the spoils brought to them by imperialism.

What do you think of when you imagine the ills China has done "to its own people" and have you spent more than 10 minutes actually researching the topic(s)?

The Biden admin actually got the ball rolling on removing the de minimis exception. It just synced up with Trump's tariff threats.

How much do you want to bet that 100% was chosen because it sounds like "maximum possibke tariff" even though that isn't what it means?
