I'm worth way more than 13 million, and you will most likely lose your million because you can't read :)

So 10-15 more years? In the meantime we can use blockchain/bitcoin to scam money from grandmas, retired folks, and millenials. So they can hate us technologists even more.

Oh, and cause global warming and destroy the planet. That way humans will have to come up with a non-government backed currency.

You do realize that there are other scenarios, such as North Korea launching nuclear strike into Silicon Valley or New York? Would you prefer that? or North Korea failing quietly like the collapse of USSR?

you do realize that China is the only reason North Korea is still operating, right? The North Korea that threatens your home country and brutalizes many of your relatives in North Korea?

Xijingping this year heavily emphasized the communist ideals in the country, to a point where the civil servants have to pass tests on the ccp ideals

Also China is still the censoring, authoritarian regime it was before. Look at their citizen scores, monitoring, threatening South Korea, Taiwan, us, Australia, etc

bullshit. or maybe the Chinese communist would have been overthrown, and they would have had a better government.

all the progress China's made today is because the communist government took their foot off of the necks of the common citizens, and let the citizens work tears and sweats.

Stop using what-ifs to justify monstrocities.

There's a very easy way anyone can start fighting against a brutal regime like this:

Stop buying stuff from China. Just stop. Support local made.

Lest we forget, this is still the same government that mowed down 10,000 innocent lives, that still runs China today. They've gotten better at hiding behind marketing, propaganda, and strong arming other countries, but they're still ruled by a small, powerful group of elders that control every aspects of Chinese people's lives.

It's sad that we keep feeding this dangerous psychopath which threatens democracy and freedom worldwide. This psychopath will eventually cause harm to a few countries (Taiwan, South Korea) when said and done, maybe enable North Korea to strike a few nuclear missiles into Los Angeles or Tokyo, who knows.
