Most of our medication comes from India, actually.

And China isn't able to cut off your medication because you support Taiwan: it would have to be a country-sized ban, which for the US would immediately spark WW3. China isn't stupid, they have a sense of self-preservation. Why start a fight with the US when you can slowly milk it dry?

I'm not really worried about China, the US has been a massive force of evil and imperialism across the world my entire life. When was the last time China invaded a sovereign country? The US did it twice in the span of a few months this year, and likely to do it again.

No one benefits from US foreign policy outside of elites or capitalists, everyone else suffers under imperialism.

The US may behave irrationally from time to time. Bush, Trump, the list goes on.

The problem with China is, they play the loooooooooooong game, and their game is explicitly to destroy our industries. As a German, this has me worried, because we have seen it with solar panels (we used to be the world leader), with medicine (similarly, a lot of compounds came from Germany) and now we're seeing it with cars.

This claim feels like a novel, nation-state-level variation on the "fundamental attribution error".

This feels weird to read, the US has played a direct role in your degradation of life in Germany (starting the Iraq invasion that spiraled into a massive immigration crisis that your country hasn't recovered from, inability to defend yourselves without NATO which means you have to please US benefactors to get protection that is constantly being threatened, and has caused a massive spike in your energy prices due to the Iran War) but you're scared of China because maybe they might do something in the future?

I'm sorry but this is quite sad. You're willing to blame a foreign country that is providing high quality goods that make your life better instead of your own political leaders or supposed allies that have no issues with selling your country down the drain?

I can see why people are voting for AfD.
