China's kind of in a pissy mood about the trap Trump sprung on them and spent a little time mocking his motivations for doing so the other day.

The CCP put out a nifty little AI piece illustrating what their vision of the industries China now dominates would look like if returned to the United States, as President Trump has promised to do.

It's always disconcerting when you see China's views align with our own Democratic Party's.

It is a fact that this classically disrespectful Chinese government propaganda dovetails nicely with expressed Democratic opinions on Trump's efforts, especially progressive ones. Everyone from the risible Jasmine Crockett ('we done pickin' cotton') to Dandy Dick Durbin ('migrant labor becomes a critical part of operations') and every microphone-loving personality in between is invested in keeping a permanent, illegal servitude class while fostering the fat, dumb, spoiled, and lazy American myth.

Turns out, the schweetest little video dropped this morning, and, when I put it on Facebook, my friends had shared it a bunch of times within minutes.

One of my dearest and oldest Marine Corps girlfriends commented she'd spoken to a young USMC veteran earlier and had been reminded of this:

"We, the unwilling, led by the unknowing, are doing the impossible for the ungrateful. We have done so much, for so long, with so little, we are now qualified to do anything with nothing."

After seeing the short film, she said, 'Time to dust off and teach a new way.'

It's THAT good.

It's a catchy-tuned, visual treat, with an edgy, searing message about the hypocrisy we are awash in, particularly in regards to our reliance on the Chinese.

Produced by fellows called The Dor Brothers (the 'world's leading AI studio') using a track called 'Chinese Children' by Devendra Banhart - an earworm on crack - this is a pretty compelling two-minute fantasy trip.

Straight for the jugular, complete with virtue-signaling hypocrites and Uyghurs.

Skewers everyone.

And what so many people don't get about what's happening.

They didn't years ago because there was money to be made and more than enough to overlook the cost of getting into the Chinese market.

2012. Election year. Obama announces that he is finally getting tough on China and that there will be an investigation into China's trade of rare earths.

...China looted us during the Obama years. Even Schumer admitted that Obama didn't do anything to push back against China's unfair trade practices. 

By 2016 China was processing over 90% of the world's rare earths. 90%. Now their global domination of the rare earths market is one of the biggest cards they have to play against us.

The Chinese don't innovate or develop new technology. They start from someone else's. They always have.

...because China serves as the manufacturer of merchandise for American sellers or because Chinese sellers have copied and/or stolen our IP." 

But they are the ones who have acquired the manufacturing base to churn out whatever widgets or pharmaceuticals the world needs.

We don't have it - ours left for cheap Chinese labor.

Even now, after the shortages during the pandemic and threatened shortages in the see-sawing of the tariff war, people still don't see the danger.

Or don't want to.

THEY'RE NOT OUR ENEMY! THEY'RE OUR BIGGEST TRADING PARTNER!

In one of the clearest examples of pure ignorance Tiffany Cross claims China is not our enemy and expresses sympathy for the communist country. Scott Jennings and Shermichael Singleton teaches her the basics. pic.twitter.com/46Ysl35S61

Thank God the administration economic team is ignoring the faint heart chorus.

In March 2022, I wrote an article on FreightWaves titled "The second Cold War is here - and supply chains will be the front lines."

The breaking of trade between the US and China has always been inevitable.

As for the video, the closest thing to it for truth and punch I can think of any time in recent memory is Billy Bob Thorton's epic, eviscerating rant about oil and wind turbines in Landman.

 (I think there's some salty language, so NSFW)

I think I'll find myself bopping all day long.

Well, if I lived in China, 

I'd have some Chinese children...

The world as Donald Trump sees it is an American oyster.

China is reaching out to other nations as the U.S. layers on more tariffs in what appears to be an attempt to form a united front to compel Washington to retreat. Days into the effort, it’s meeting only partial success with many countries unwilling to ally with the main target of President Donald Trump’s trade war.
