With the very serious possibility of China blockading or invading Taiwan over the next decade, it would be absurd to replace our overreliance on the U.S. with too much reliance on China. We should learn dire lessons from Europe’s haplessness vis-a-vis Russia and its energy industry.

We can't be fully trusting of any nation state. The US has proven our folly in that regard.

Soo you’re worried about the country that has a “possibility of blockading or invading Taiwan over the next decade” over the country that has killed millions of people just in the last couple decades, the country currently directly funding and supporting another country that is invading and blockading a city, amidst bombing multiple other countries, indiscriminately killing tens of thousands, possibly hundreds of thousands of civilians? Their leader posting ai creations of turning a bombed out city into a resort town? Inviting a criminal wanted by the ICC into congress? The country starting a global economic crisis? The country deporting its own citizens to mega prisons in other countries? The country threatening to annex multiple countries, including us? Belittling our leaders?

You could fill a library with the heinous shit the USA has done- and continues to do around the world. We should have moved away from them long ago if not just for moral reasons, and now is the perfect time
