Carney is a smart guy. He met with leaders in the EU and discussed a slow selloff of US Treasury bonds to remind Trump that the US is being propped up by the rest of the world. The next day, Trump paused the tariffs citing “people getting too yippy” as his justification.
It’s great to see intelligent and composed leaders put him in his place. China said, “we have been here for 5,000 years, most of that time without the US, and we expect to be here for 5,000 more.” That’s some Teddy Roosevelt shit right there.
It was built by the Qin Dynasty, which despite being called “the first unified China” was a fraction of the size of modern China. And was built in part to keep people who are also now Chinese, and not just Mongols, out of “China”
And it also didn’t last, it was fractured whem that dynasty fell.
Other than distant genetics, they have as much in common with modern China as the Greek government does to the linage of Ptolemy.
So China has existed for 5000 years but America has only existed since white peoples decided to start a government? Or are you cool with Native Americans claiming 50,000 years?
We’re talking about the United States, not Americans. The people that created the United States were not Americans. They were Europeans. They didn’t begin to settle here until the 17th century. The Chinese didn’t immigrate to China to found the PRC.

Pretty sure PRC has been around for only 70ish years.
I wonder who build that really big wall…
Must’ve been aliens

The Chinese people lived in China prior to the PRC. The same is not true for the European colonialists.
American people lived in America prior to Europeans too. That was my point.

No. We are talking about China and I asked a specific question. Now you are bordering on being racist.
You are being obtuse, and know that the natives in America are not the ones in political power.
Are you implying that the PRC built the wall?
