The world governments already have many of us on lock-down, while travel is restricted for most of us - even when everything opens up a bit, we are still locked inside our countries (many have had help in coming home as soon as possible - `they` do not want a lot of their citizens trapped in other countries when the shit his the fan.) A worldwide dictatorship perhaps? The invasion will scare a lot of people so they will happily turn over their lives/perceived freedoms for protection. Which is more scary? A fake or real alien invasion? You have right, the governments could use it to scare the population, fake enemies, fake heroes, fake safety. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Deathtreat23 182 Posted May 3, 2020 Well considering we've had the Australian Bush fires, Trump nearly going to war with Iran and the Brexit Shambles of an exit and Boris becoming a father for about the sixth or seventh time here in England on top of the biggest crisis since WW2, surely 2020 can't get any worse can it (although Trump getting reelected would be the clincher!)

gcreptile 10,234 Posted May 4, 2020 Funny. In fact, I would say the last real "hot" conflict between China and the West was the Boxer uprising exactly 120 years ago. After that, it was 80 years of indifference, followed by 40 years of hot capitalist love, because Deng Xiaoping asked for our money and we gave it to them freely. Now that the tables are turning, people are starting to wonder about the monster we created. Too late... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We can't make it all because we have moved lots of production to China. Even if you look at the masks situation now the production is mainly in China. I hope there will be a move and investment back away from China as a result of this but things will cost more and it will take some time. Sadly they don't just make tat any more and they have a lot of investment outside China now including the US, but I think they have particularly strong ties with Africa and mining companies. They are not just lots of people working in factories mass producing cheap products; they do that but they have also invested massively at state level to support companies in high tech industries blatantly copying equipment made in the West and then exporting it for less than the OEM can make it for. The State are also investing into these companies and giving them huge R&D budgets which makes it impossible for the privately owned companies in the West to compete. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
