The Qing was a weak and declining dynasty riven with corruption and outdated ideology.
Yeah, sounds a lot like the PRC. They got colonized by a foreign power, in this case Russian Marxists. That "mixed economy" bullshit is 100 years old. And they justify it with some vague appeal to collective harmony, while they let Japan and the US win the Bitcoin accumulation race. And now you'll be blindsided when it turns out that for some reason our military is better than yours, and claim that we only won because we're evil.
Private enterprise cannot develop a strategy that sees the entire nations best interests as its priority
Wrong.
Look at the US and Europe. The US chose private enterprise over government. Europe chose "good governance." So Europe is committing suicide while the US is the hottest country on earth.
Look at China where good government (in regard to economic development) results in USA and Europe unable now to compete with Chinas well governed highly productive mixed economy.
The US economy is largely reliant upon debt and death- the export of fiat debt and military equipment. Legacy institutional and technology which is swiftly being superceded by Shahed Drones and mBridge.
The US manufacturing economy is a very poor shadow of what it was 50 years ago.
You cannot even make your weapons anymore because China has cut the supply of refined rare earths.
Good luck intercepting Irans $5000 drones with your non existent $5 million dollar Interceptor missiles.
US empire insolvency and collapse is imminent and the Zionist bankers know it.
The US economy is largely reliant upon debt and death
Sureeee get your excuses ready.
USA and Europe
Don't even put these in the same sentence. The UK, Spain, France, and Italy are each poorer than Mississippi.
When the British Empire lost its global hegemony and USA took over the Jews shifted their operation to USA.
The British finally only lost their global monetary hegemony when they challenged Egypts nationalisation of the Suez canal and USA refused to back them.
Now that USA is close to insolvency the Jews are building their own Greater Israel Empire because China will not be their lapdog proxies.
Trump is losing in the Strait of Hormuz.
You have no interceptors left.
No refined rare earths to make more.
Learn from history.
The Jews are using you.
And not just the Jews. The gulf states are in on this.
They have all been puppets to US petrodollar hegemony.
Trouble is their biggest customer now is CHINA!
Big Loser TACO Trump has lost all credibility- they are looking increasingly to 'other options' than the over priced and ineffective outdated US military.
They were dragged into this war unwillingly, without being consulted.
They may realise its on orders from the Zionists who own USA, and who want to steal their land for their Greater Israel Project.
Trump has screwed up big time, again.
The Jewish zealots are using everyone, including USA, to fulfill their fanatical end of world biblical prophesy.
They were dragged into this war unwillingly, without being consulted.
Everyone's been consulted. Trump's plan is obvious.
What does Israel gain from the US attacking the PRC? Nothing. It's not their idea. It's the PRC that provoked it. Zoom out.
USA has not militarily attacked China yet, although blockading oil shipments from Iran to China could be interpreted as an act of war.
None of the Gulf States knew about the Israeli-US invasion of Iran until it happened. They were not consulted in advance- they are very angry about the US causing the destruction of their oil and gas fields by supporting Israeli Zionists Greater Israel Project...as they should be.
Now he is stealing Iraqs oil money in another stand over tactic that is sure to fail and alienate Iraqis even more from US hegemony.
Chinese engineers and technicians already dominate the operation of Iraqs oil fields.
Trump has made a big mess of things- he is a TACO LOSER puppet to Zionist war criminals and Chevron.
Zionism is physical semitism. Marxism is spiritual semitism, which is much worse.
You have US derangement syndrome. It's not all about us. Take the US out of it for a minute. Imagine you're an Iranian, so the IRGC kills you for thought crime. And as you're crossing the Rainbow Bridge, an alien asks if you would like them to kill and replace the regime that killed you, or let the IRGC kill the rest of your family and friends and stay in charge for the next 10,000 years?
The purpose of the IRGC, since they're a tyrannical mess of a system that no one would adopt voluntarily, is presumably to prevent Western agression. Well, obviously, they failed. We can wipe out the population at the click of a button. So what's the point of the IRGC?? If the IRGC stepped down then Iran wouldn't have to worry about getting bombed. They're the problem.
This is nothing at all like Britain and Egypt. A lot of Americans are Persian. This is really an internal affair that you're meddling in.
I am not meddling but observing neutrally and impartially and trying to help you accept the decline of your hegemony.
We colonials have seen it all before.
As the Brits declined we latched onto the USA.
Nowadays though we are increasingly aligned economically with China- because China offers far better terms of trade than the dying and corrupt rogue state USA of today.
Nothing personal just economic expediency... pure and simple.
If I imagined I am Iranian I would feel proud of my government standing up to the Bully Trump and would be joining others in the streets to support the project of Iranian sovereignty and self determination - and that is exactly what most Iranians are doing.
Good on them.
Better than the bleeding liberals of Europe and most of the world crying because the price of gas has gone up...and begging for the Strait to be reopened- what a bunch of selfish lazy retarded imbeciles.
Learn how to walk again and chop wood you lazy idiots.
Freedom is only earned and retained by those prepared to die for it.
The west has lost the grit required.
Keep the strait of Hormuz closed for another few months please and people might slowly remember- it might take a generation or two.
Climate Change is real.
Too many people are too selfish to do anything about it especially Chevron Owned Trump.
Maybe you're not but the PRC certainly is. They shouldn't be commenting on Iran's internal affairs.
Saying climate change is real after talking about grit is ridiculous. You want Greta Thunberg in charge of your country? What do you think is driving Europe's decline? It starts with something cute like saving the trees, and the next minute they're breaking into your house to confiscate every piece of paper you own.
Selfishness is a good thing. It's the rational principle of man valuing his own life. Europe died from a lack of it. The US will not.
Christendom grew mighty as a united theocratic state.
Defeating and enslaving Muslims, Hindus and all manner of other cultures.
The schism between Protestants and Catholics caused division but also an explosion of scientific, economic and political progress...and the accumulation of immense wealth, power and privilege- subjugating all others.
Today the west is a tired self absorbed bloated, corrupt and divided empire in decline.
China is returning to its former position as the most powerful united nation and culture on earth- of course they have a right to be concerned about their energy supplies.
The Petro-Yuan is emerging as the new petrodollar...they buy more oil from the Gulf States than anyone else dominating global trade in most commodities and manufactured goods.
I did not and do not equate the current CCP with the Qing.
The Qing was a weak and declining dynasty riven with corruption and outdated ideology.
The CCP is led by engineers and has developed a logical program of development recognising the reality of western imperialism which hit the Qing and China so brutally.
The combination of self seeking private enterprise and a government that directs that energy is greater than where either dominates the other.
Private enterprise cannot develop a strategy that sees the entire nations best interests as its priority, and government cannot act only upon a profit motive.
Good government employs taxation and investment in development of the nations resources from the perspective of the nation as a whole and in relation to its position in relation to other nations.
For example China can see it has significant potential human resources and can invest in their development to advance Chinas overall productivity.
It can and has developed a modern culture where engineering is highly respected and emphasised in the education system because engineering vital to manufacturing and infrastructure development.
China now leads the world in engineering as the result of a deliberate program of investment in skills, institutions, equipment and infrastructure that only a government could logically lead.
Private enterprise has no such mandate or motives to enable development in such a manner.
Private enterprise however, when provided with an economy where engineering skills, infrastructure and capacity are developing strongly can and will and does adopt those resources as it can profit from them and is structured and inherently disposed toward doing so.
So in China today electricity is less than half the cost of any other major manufacturing nation- Private enterprise has an immediate advantage.
There are multiple skilled engineers and technicians available.
They are employed.
The economy thrives.
The combination of good government and private enterprise is powerful.
The inappropriate domination or either is toxic.
It is a subtle formula, not a simplistic 'markets fix everything' one.
At its core it requires a considerable unity of purpose and within the population.
Some thing the west has lost.
Something China appears to still retain.
That unity is something that sustained wealth tends to erode.
The rise and fall of empires is the result.
