When you are overthrown, you lose your mandate to rule. That has always been the case, as there is no such thing as perpetual right to rule in Chinese history.
Nonsense. The world doesn't and have never operated under a single order, even during the zenith of US power. The US has created so many chaos and wars around the world trying to enforce its orders and that simply doesn't work. There will and should always be competing orders, standards...
It works and have always been working in an state of anarchy. And I guess you never heard of the gold standard which the USD was based upon. Trade have always been conducted via currency backed by real asset instead of fiat money until the 70's. Any currency backed by real asset would work...
And through your own statement, it clearly demonstrated a puppet state which has been overthrown that's now relying on foreign power for its survival. Basically another Manchuguo.
You still haven’t realize that the world is in a state of anarchy? As such it’s always far better to have balancing force than a singular power that do as it pleases.
As I've said already, humans have been trading with each other since the dawn of civilization before there was police, before there was law, and before there was even currency. So no, you don't need any of that to conduct trade as trade is in the mutual interest of both sides.
China and most...
You are describing exactly what a puppet government is, one that has to rely on foreign power to keep itself in power, or it would have long been finished in a civil war.
The fact remains that island is recognized as a part of China which the US is "holding" under a puppet state. This is exactly why the US treating assets on the island as its own to be destroyed when necessary without needing permission from anyone else.
The only one getting defeated is the one whose house is being blown up. The level of absurdity. It's an act of desperation that US has no way to hold onto the island, thus has to destroy its assets, even though it doesn't own any of these assets.
Lol. That's like your neighbor saying, if you are not fighting inside your house, I won't have to burn down your house. The most astonishing bandit logic.
What framework? Global commerce will be there regardless of whether US is or will be. It's just a matter of development and consumerism, just as peace after WWII is due to MAD, not because of, but rather inspite of the endless unrest, conflicts and wars orchestrated by the US all over the world.
Lol. US will not blow anything up except TSMC? Your intentional blindness is rather entertaining.
And yes, such a friend. "To be an enemy of America can be dangerous, but to be a friend is fatal." - Kissinger
But they don't get to decide when and if their company gets blown up by the US. Oh the twist and turn, as if they are the one asking for the destruction of TSMC.
You need to look beyond the colonial era as that is an aberration in human history, not the norm. And US is a participant in this colonial commerce under the dominance of Britian. There is no fundamental difference between Pax Americana and Pax Britannica.
