alt Hacker NewsAs a Brit I'm here for it to be honest, I'm tired of America with everything that's going on.
China is not perfect but a bit of competition is healthy and needed

"not perfect" is a _very_ big simplification of what China is though
I'm American. If the choice is between the current US direction or China, then no, I don't think the word "healthy" should be anywhere near this discussion.
I’m also a Brit and agree 100%.
We need to accept that being too close to America is harming us and start funding projects to protect our assets e.g talent leaking out to American entities.
It’s a shame your country couldn’t get back its technical edge.
america is a continent. let’s take back our vocabulary (fellow european here). the little orange man shows very well what i mean when he started giving names to the gulf of mexico.
As someone that lived in Britain for 15 years until 2024, I'm not sure a nation with a GDP per capita lower than Poland, that is now poorer than every state in America, with a gang rape epidemic the government tried to suppress investigating should really concern itself with how other countries are ran.
As a different Brit I do not accept such moral relativism.
China’s governments actions are on a completely different level - for example:

Since 2014, the government of the People's Republic of China has committed a series of ongoing human rights abuses against Uyghurs and other Turkic Muslim minorities in Xinjiang which has often been characterized as persecution or as genocide.

Yes Trump is clearly trying Totalitarianism in America, but it is orders of magnitude different from what is happening in China.
Fellow countryman here. I came here to say the same thing
This is such a tired argument, and morally repugnant. Where is the UK in the race, where is the EU? Lets get of our asses and stop moralizing.
(China wiped out the entire EU industry through a "quiet" trade war since like the last 15 years, and we're not really talking about that aren't we...)
I don’t know if we’re ahead of the curve but that tired feeling has started turning into hate here in the EU. I guess being threatened with invasion does that to you.
The next decade is going to look very different with America Alone.
