How do i explain this to my kids and grand kids. What a mess
"Sorry kids, but people are stupid."

They would be dumb if they didn’t do that. Did anyone expect something else?
Apparently one or two people did, yes.:-|

It was always a given that China would eventually dethrone US as a global super power. I never expected US to basically hand it over to them.

And we, Canada, should be bonding with China, the EU and many others.

Get involved and be part of the movement against it, so you can tell them you actively tried to fight it and didn't just sit idly by.

This was China's plan for world domination.
It's crazy that a Russian asset US president can convince America's #1 ally of all time to support a dictatorship.

Surely the world will be a better place if we take the US' boot off the neck of the human race and place a Chinese boot there!

I don't think China has any interest in putting a boot on the neck of the world.

The boots are both made in China anyway. Might as well cut out the middle man!

Never said military actions. China has been trying to establish economic hegemony in Africa for a while via giant loans for infrastructure projects that the nations in question could never possibly repay. Of course, the terms of the loan establish that if the nation defaults, China immediately gains control over all assets built with the money.

Explain it in Chinese, so they're prepared for the future

Just one example of their bad acting. No worse really than the western world has done, but certainly no better

Economic coercion requires the threat of military force. When I hear the phrase "boot on the neck" I'm imagining a soldier's boot.
