Not a controversial take by any means. Land, resources, ports, labor, explicit control over the largest economy in the world. Pretty obvious benefits. Same goes for why the US would potentially want control over China which geopolitical we have been trying to secure for decades. Manufacturing capacity, slave labor, resources, pollution not on our land. I just want to be left alone.

No question about it. We are nothing more than cattle to them.

Of course we are also nothing more than cattle to our "American" political and cultural elites.

I did hear from one o the chinese dissident podcast that they expect to basically use America as the farmland for their people.

You're thinking too innocently. This is what China does everywhere. They flood other countries (like the ones in South East Asia, Canada, Australia, etc.) and try replacing the population.

For America specifically, the American army poses a big enough threat that it deters China's army from directly invading their neighbors (Taiwan, Japan, S. Korea, etc.).

FARM LAND!

What is missing here is the ambitions of China. Xinnie the fuckjob wants to be an emperor. They do not want to stop at just being the world hegemony but become the de facto leader of the world.

This will include expanding that black market of human organs which will be plentiful once the “useful idiots” are done with their job, a complete rewrite of the history books naming Xi as the benevolent and greatest leader in history, enslaving more minorities and making them work for crumbs while brainwashing their young more, persecuting anything and anyone that tries to even say anything about the great China.

You guys are not thinking big enough.

Natural resources to in addition to good rich loam.

Yep, if Trump leaves office for any reason on the 20th, it will be seen as approval of the Chinese globalist takeover. He should be taking nothing of the table to fight this fake election result and save the Western world.
