From me just looking at it, everything they're trying to do to force US AI supremacy seems to just generate and cause even more pushback. Ban cards to China? China's ramping up GPU supplying and separating from US dominated supply chains. Ban model exports? They'll make cheaper and easier models. Idk, whenever you force the market it usually backfires in ways you can't expect.

    The thing is, they're trying to force the market by actual force rather than slow and methodical coercion. US hegemony is over, because the buffoon in chief, who is terrible at domestic business, is also bad at foreign business. Shocking, I know.

    US hegemony is over

    That happened MANY years ago, and US elites came up with a plan to stop China by going through a shitload of wars and psy-op regime-changes - so called 'Color-revolutions' created by the CIA etc. All general moves have been outlined in think tank reports. What has happened that are different from normal, is that China suddenly accelerated and ran away from them, and in their panic they have had to trigger all their nasty attacks against all nations that in any way support China. Biden were the same nasty cnt as Trump, he just had only ONE small job for the oligarchs - Ukraine, whereas Trump has gotten them all, S. America, middelEast Iran, and oc the bad bad China. US are trying to regime-changing nations as we speak - exactly the same as under Biden, just much much faster..

    All of this is easy to figure out, but the western population was driven into a lynch-mob, an echo-chamber in the same way other nations were regime-changed. So, everyone is lied to, angry af, and as planned, doesn't listen to counter arguments. 'Putin-lover', 'Commie' and other childish reactions are the norm, instead of actually investigating the ridiculous Claims from your elite.

    Yes, Trump is a buffoon, but honestly, can any of you actually name a single US oligarch politician that are NOT a buffoon ? Come on man, move on from this manufactured infighting and move away from US media. You are being manipulated to hate each other instead of the rich pscho cnts that actually RUN your country, and are actually harming millions of people around the world in a sick pursuit of more power !!

    I'm just curious - you mean something like "The Grand Chessboard - American Primacy and Its Geostrategic Imperatives" (1997)? I haven't read that yet.

    But afaik they just fucking slept on China and that few of the regime change done in the last few 3 decades were aimed at it. Like they helped it get into the WTO and somehow they thought it would just become another neoliberal country that can be bought and controlled.

    I clearly see how the "unipolar moment" led to regime change aimed at the middle east and eastward EU and nato expansion of their vassal states, but I don't see how that affects China.

    In any case yeah, China ran away and it's pretty much over for US global supremacy, especially as they double down on not investing into their people: "In total, China now leads in 66 of the 74 technologies tracked, with the United States leading in the remaining eight" https://www.aspistrategist.org.au/aspis-critical-technology-tracker-2025-updates-and-10-new-technologies/

    Like you can force the market with good industrial policy of subsidies and oversight pretty effectively. See East Asia in general. Problem comes when those you gave power with those actions start directing your government to do stupid things for their benefit and they capture the very oversight that made it work in the first place.

    It's only a problem if you want to set up a good policy once and never touch it again.

    Life doesn't work like that. "The problem with cleaning my room is that it gets dirty again." Well, duh.

    Politics is a never ending process of vigilance and fighting. A policy should not be judged as "bad" simply because it requires vigilance and teeth at all times. Literally all good policies require now and will continue to require participation.
