china was nowhere in the late 70s. the world at that time still revolved and progressed by leaps and bounds. if china were to go back to the stone age today, the rest of the world would still revolve and progress by leaps and bounds. just because they make and sell knockoffs to get rich doesn't mean the rest of the world have to kowtow to them and their stupid national interest. treat them like scums of the earth and they will start to behave. that's how to train a puppy to grow into a good pet.
that doesn't make sense,if china and Russia nuke America back to the stone age,the world would still progress by leaps and bounds.of course the world would be in a constant flow of progress as long as there's human desire to improve,no single country is essential to it.america is build on the back of imported talents and immigrants not fat lazy Americans,elon musk for example,and the talent will simply go where the money and opportunity is,america may currently hold the top spot now but I believe it will not be for long,maybe another twenty years max.a nation of one billion hardworking industrious chinks supplemented by the talents of the world.china go back to stone age?u have opened the genies bottle and unlocked the Pandora's box,its impossible to go back now.the chinks would be one of the races that would dominate the far reaches of space like a super race of merchants and traders just like China is dominating all six continents of the earth now.have u seen the progress china has made in the last 30 years?chinks had a taste of modern capitalism,they can never go back.have u seen shenzhen,the silicon valley of china?from a population of 300,000 in 2000 to over 10 million,its like building an entire L.A or Chicago out of thin air in just 15 years.and the manufacturing infrastructure and technology now is just mind blowing,america can only dream of having,the electronics shenzhen churns out is on a scale and quality like Mexico and Peru produces pure high quality cocaine.the electronics and fakes china makes are still cheap but they are no longer low quality crap or children's toys now they are the real shit.they are making things that IBM and Intel does now,they literally sell every chip,every part,every circuit board,every bolt and nut in any quantity u want,so u can go build any electronic gadget u want like a smartphone.its like having a hardware store that's sells any parts u want to build anything u want from guns to tanks to planes to cars.they are no longer just making fakes,,they are experimenting and designing splicing together different components and parts like DNA to come up with new creations and new Frankenstein's.i f u understand the components and inner workings of a gadget and have a engineering mind,u can experiment with different parts and designs to come up with something new or better,thats what millions of Chinese are doing now.
