If the US has so much natural immunity and super vaccines then what's the problem?

Isn't it funny how quickly these boneheads switched from laughing about how China is still taking covid seriously despite it being not so dangerous.. to the exact opposite when China does it.

Lmao consistent. What a bunch of bullshit. They've gone from omg covid is going to doom us... We need vaccines to attend a concert to "just work through it". They mishandled? Why don't you compare deaths per capita? Even foreigners in China can admit that lockdown shit worked despite how much it was despised eventually. They were consistent for years until omicron is now becoming far less deadly than before thereby avoiding the mass deaths during delta that the US experienced. But do go on your high horse.

Most were made in the US yet they still make it seem like it was the Chinese ones...

Never underestimate how brainwashed Americans can be. They were largely calling those who didn't join them on their Iraq crusade, traitors and freedom haters.

And zero Chinese phones are allowed in major US carriers. You saying they should ban apple? No Chinese network companies can build in the US now yet Cisco built their great firewall. Is this really how you want to go with tit for tat?

So what has China done to corral nations into their trade war with the US? Who have they told to cut off exports from the US, including companies that aren't even located in China? You know... Like the US has done?

Look up their nand chips.
But yeah the article is meaningless since they never made their main processor in China in the first place

It's moreso because the us is blocking chip exports and imports from China. I.e the US democratic government is impeding on their business.

They were not from China in the first place. There is hence no difference or shift.

That's absurd to claim considering the US has double the emissions per capita and has also produced way more emissions throughout its history than China (and benefited from this disregard for the environment).
Even today the most consumerist society on the planet is the US. Period. Demand creates supply not the other way around. If Americans didn't demand a new big TV screen every few years then the Chinese would not build it.

It's not going down in absolute terms but it's certainly going down as a % of their total energy usage. Their electricity usage is spiking because they are making more and more shit.

In what way are they pumping more carbon than any other country when adjusted for population size? When you say that do you mean per capita?

Their energy usage is increasing as they develop. Their share of energy coming from coal has dropped 15% in the past decade though. You're ignorant of something called context.

Yeah but you're still wrong. Their vaccines is just as effective at 3 doses for severe outcomes compared to mRNA vaccines.

The US has a sub 10% booster rate for the past 6 months so it's a moot point anyway. That's why covid is rampant worldwide. No one is boosting anymore.
Which brings us to the last point. You're afraid of variants from 1.4 billion Chinese but the 6 billion other non Chinese that got covid in the last year or so didn't collapse society. Get a grip.
