Whether the recent agreement holds together or not, the Camp David meeting is a further step in Washington’s strategy of inserting tensions, instability and continuing provocations in the region in an attempt to block China’s development and its growing regional trade with its neighbors. Washington is attempting to distract from the economic decline of the U.S. by asserting its military dominance in the Pacific.

U.S. corporations are the main beneficiaries of a policy that obstructs Japan’s and South Korea’s trade with China. China’s huge economy is a major market for their products, thus aiding the economies of its two neighbors. According to the Wilson Center, China is the top trading partner of more than 120 countries, including Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, the Philippines and Australia. U.S. corporate interests are consumed with the task of how to reverse this economic reality and contain China, especially in the Asia-Pacific region.

This new Camp David military pact follows Washington’s revival and upgrading of the QUAD — the Quadrilateral Security Dialogue among four countries: the U.S., India, Australia and Japan. The Quad holds joint military exercises that openly target China.

    It’s on Lemmygrad. It’s nothing more than a Russian boot licking shithole of an instance.

    Look at how they talk about Japan and South Korea not wanting to trade with China because of the US. While ignoring the literal CENTURIES of history that give us various other reasons than just “US make demand.” Obviously the US is part of it, but we give Japan and SK the strength to step away as well. It’s honestly a miracle given the history we even got Japan and SK to work together.

      Like your instance is all good lol. In the couple months it’s existed they’ve tried to doxx someone, they’ve shown they collect personal info from your visit on their instance as well as all messages ever sent in their discord, they’ve asked for free labour as a senior sysadmin, they don’t moderate racists and will pre-emptively defederate as a last resort… it took them months of hand-wringing to defed from exploding-heads (the nazi instance) and Threads (the Facebook instance), but they defederated from hexbear without even consulting the community lmao

      go back to reddit please, and leave the fediverse to the adults.
