What’s stopping China from helping Detroit?

Think about it. China does foreign policy based on sift power rather than militarism or blackmail. China builds hospitals in Mali in exchange for good, rather than invading and seizing the gold for themselves. China is the reason hundreds of millions of people in Africa have electricity and running water, right? If China can do this, why aren’t they stepping in and helping Detroit rebuild?

China could fund mass construction projects. Build housing all over Detroit that resembles housing in Chinese cities. Build a functioning metro/train system. Build more hospitals. Build better schools that look like wonder museums rather than prisons. Build urban farms to fix the food desert issue. Give Detroit the latest and greatest tech. Bring back millions of jobs. Why not?

China turns shitholes into functioning cities. Just compare their cities from 37 years ago to their cities now. They could easily do the same for Detroit. Trump Administration be damned. Just get the mayor of Detroit to form a working relationship with Xi and the CPC and watch things happen.

<What’s stopping China from helping Detroit?
assuming you're not trolling any significant chinese investment like that would likely be blocked and forced to disinvest by the Trump adminsitration

>>2487387
Explain. What if Mary Sheffield (a progressive) gets elected mayor and she and Gretchen decide to collaborate with Beijing?

>>2487451
the dems are just as anti china as the republicans are they just hide it better. reminder that obama started the pivot to asia and focus on china long before trump took power.

>what’s stopping China from debt-trapping Detroit?

>>2487451
>thinking two Hillary clones will want to partner with China

>>2487451
They'd be making a smart long term decision that is not really possible at the moment.

>What’s stopping China from helping Detroit?

What's stopping the USA from helping Qinghai Province?
What's stopping Iran from helping Tel Aviv?
Got any more stupid questions?
Yeah lets pump infinity money and resources into aiding our most powerful political enemy.
Helloooo? Anyone at home in that gaping cavern you have inside your skull?

Cuba offered to help during covid and was told not to come and blocked by the government.

We're on our own. No one is coming to help us. The sooner we all accept the sooner more work can be done.

>>2487455
>>2487482
Sheffield is to the left of Mamdani.

>>2487462
It’s not really “debt trapping” given that the banks in China are all state run and operated.

>>2487557
China could use the aid to Detroit as a way of making alliances with New Afrikans.

>>2487365
>China is the reason hundreds of millions of people in Africa have electricity and running water, right?
Sauce pls.

FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCJ

>>2487590
You don't have to like China to recognise they're building a lot of infrastructure in Africa and elsewhere, often with lots of strings attached

>>2487595
calm down and get fucking organized

if you are not in a org join one
if you are talk to local leaders ASAP and try to talk about setting up general meeting with as many leftist groups you can make contact with
form a committee together and make an action plan for keeping people safe

AmeriKKKans themselves are the problem. The rabid imperialists will always bite at the hand that feeds them.
>>2487560
As demonstrated by this example.

As a Greek living in Athens during the worst years of the financial crisis, then migrating to three other cities in northern Europe, visiting basically all the rest of Europe besides Scandinavia, having been for month long stays in not tourist places of Indonesia, Bolivia, Oman, having carried 250k equipment with me through Lagos and the river states of Nigeria I have never felt less secure than when I visited LA last year. It was shocking for me and I was already aware of the situation. The absolutely worst place I have ever been. Truly hellish.

I dread even to think how Detroit might be.

>>2487631
Awful.

>>2487631
LA is so dystopian. It's shitty hot and dirty and all the rich people live up on the hills looking down on the poor. I hate Californian libs because they act like they're so great saving the planet all that while their neighbors live in squalor. People on the east coast have some empathy and shame for failing the homeless.

>>2487698
>I hate Californian libs because they act like they're so great saving the planet all that while their neighbors live in squalor.
I’ve lived in both LA (2007-2009) and the Bay Area (2013-2014) and can confirm this. Rich white Californian liberals love showing off how “progressive” they are because they’re vegan, gluten free, wear eco-friendly clothing, have solar panels on the roofs of their $5 million homes yet continually deny all the class inequality and racial segregation in their cities. Just compare the rich parts of SanFran with the shithole areas like the Tenderloin District. Or compare Santa Monica and Silver Lake to the part of LA that surrounds MacArthur Park.

Kek, if this happens Eminem will make a diss track against Xi.

>>2487538
How is what China’s doing not debt trapping?


>>2487772
<Be USA
<try to give people high interest loans
<demand privatization, austerity, union busting deregulation, raw material rights, land as "strings attached"
<countries reject these terms
<overthrow their leaders with your CIA and put in place lapdogs who will take these loans

Meanwhile…

>Be China

>See country already in US IMF debt trap with high interest rates
>give that country developmental loans with 0% interest
>subsequently forgive those loans
>effectively bail those countries out of their US loans, for free
>demand nothing in return
>get called "debt trapper" for doing this
>not only compared to the USA, but said to be worse, somehow

>>2487847
Fucking lost it.

>>2487567
thats precisely why the government would never let it happen

>>2488061
Why can't the mayor of Detroit or the governor of Michigan override whatever Trump says?

>>2487538
>noooooo you MUST be 100% pro-China or else you're CIA!

>>2487462
>>2487855
Some asshole porky is already buying up Detroit.

Having China come in to rebuild the city could easily offset him.

>>2488103
internal colony

>>2488126
Better and more detailed video.

>>2487455
Dems are way more anti-Russia than they are anti-China though.

>>2488150
I'm at the 27-minute mark right now.

Holy shit this is painful to watch.

>>2487595
The gangs will unite and fight the National Guard.

>>2488159
give it time

>>2487365
Just bring the auto jobs back and do a massive job training program to put all the unemployed bums to work.

>China turns shitholes into functioning cities
Dengists are just the soy PMC wing of fascism
>>2488125
>you MUST be 100% pro-China or else you're CIA
African children have access to clean drinking water: but at what cost?

>>2487462
Detroit went bankrupt a few years ago, so there’s that.


>>2487451
>>2487565
>Mary Sheffield
Literally ALL she does is try to win over zoomer voters by taking pics with rappers.

mods pls unanchor, this is a fun thread

reporting myself for attention

>>2487365
How does China benefit from this?

>>2498143
PR stunt to own the burgers

>>2498176
Exactly this.

>>2489138
To be fair, the people who run those gas stations are usually Iraqi, Yemeni, or Indian immigrants who don’t want to give up on the little businesses that they’ve been running for 20-30 years.

American ‘people’


>>2487365
I can tell you, as boots on the ground, that China is definitely doing this in metro Detroit
Mostly around the auto industry areas in the northern part

Hypothetically, imaginary, could Illanoy secede into Canada?

>>2503319
storytime or stfu

Why is it China's job to solve America's problems?

>>2503391
>liberate yourself!
The PRC benefits from aid. They're not just building up Africa out of pity or charity.

>>2503391
Because why not? China was a shithole 40 years ago and is nearly as powerful as America today. The Chinese miracle. Why shouldn't they agree to turn Detroit into an American Shanghai?

>>2503393
yeah and?

>>2503438
It's not China's job, it's China's opportunity.

most of the current effort is in madison heights but chinese owned businesses are expanding outward from the area

visiting chinese professors, students, and engineers seemed to drastically increase around 2018, focused on mechanical engineering skills and automotive computer sciences (now with AI)

maybe consider it a small investment but its been steady growth and is likely to continue

We have this thread every year.

What's stopping China from paying MY bills? Where are MY reparations?

>>2503393
It's soft power. Even OP admits China is only "generous" because they want something out of the countries they win over.

>>2503391
Soviet Union solved China's problems

this thread was posted on tankiejerk a couple of weeks back

>Just get the mayor of Detroit to form a working relationship with Xi

Why doesn't the manager of a struggling local family restaurant just ask the Prince of Saudi Arabia to bail him out?

IF CHINA DOESN'T BUILD A 4 ACRE MANSION FOR ME TO LIVE IN, AND KILL MY BOSS AND MAKE ME THE HEAD OF MY NEWLY-NATIONALIZED COMPANY, AND ALSO GIVE ME FREE FOOD FOR LIFE, THEN THEY ARE NOT SOCIALIST

Detroit should offer their mines to China so they can come and exploit the local workers, then they just have to build an hospital and socialism will be achieved

>>2503668
Send him to China and get him to beg for infrastructure help, even some science and engineering school equipment

>>2503658
objectively wrong
proletarian solidarity and bilateral trade and relations =/= gimme gibs gibs, fix all muh problems soviet daddy

>>2503393
based. Charity is a christcuck concept. When you help a people through charity, you are not liberating them but tying them to the charity, you make them dependent on you. Which is why no christcuck charity ever fixed any problem in Africa.

>>2503709

Why would the leader of a global industrial superpower waste his valuable time making deals with the mayor of Detroit Michigan? What does the mayor of a failing American post-industrial city have to offer that China wants? America began outsourcing its industrial manufacturing sector to China a long time ago; we already sold Detroit to China and China is not going to give it back.

What's to stop the ant mound in my backyard from appealing to the galactic overlords to save them from my lawnmower?

Knowing the animals of Detroit, they will piss it all away and then blame the Chinese for not doing enough for them
Fuck them

>>2503723
the same people live there as when there was industry. you create lumpen by replacing jobs with welfare.

>>2503727
You are correct, But still, China should not help americans. They are ungrateful.

What's stopping China from giving me 100 million dollars and a Chinese Gf?

WHAT A FUCKING STUPID THREAD. OP SHOULD KILL XERSELF.


>>2503737
why isnt china offering me a job in chongqing and free HRT

>>2503738
anarcho-gibs smh

Chinese won't even give you a free glass of water at a restaurant and OP thinks they'll bail out Detroit

File: 1759320613583.png (399.97 KB, 502x1053, City-wok.png)

>>2503759
never barter with a Chinese man

why would they bother? fuck america

>>2503759
Kek you have to be baiting every Chinese restaurant gives out free water. You do have to know how to ask for it in Chinese though or just bring a Chinese friend along.

Detroit, Seattle, Portland–
What narrow paths, deep woods and slippery moss!
Whither are we bound today?
Straight to the foot of Appalachian Mountains.
To the mountain, the foot of the mountain,
Red flags stream in the wind in a blaze of glory.

>>2503779
we matter too…

>>2503710
Manchuria is a pretty big gib

>>2503717
They build Detroit back up.

>>2487365
For the record, those two houses don't exist anymore.
The first house (3610 St. Aubin) is now a vacant lot. The second house (William Livingstone House) is something else entirely now (284 Eliot St).

The fourth house (James V. Campbell House, 261 Alfred St) doesn't have any recent images from this decade, but here's where it looks like now.

>>2504213

>Mr. President, sorry to interrupt but we've got the mayor of Detroit on the phone. He wants make the city go back to what it was in the 1960s, all we have to do is shut down all of our auto factories and fire all the workers and tear up all of our contracts with American auto companies and destroy our massive state-capitalist industrial economy that our country bent over backwards and starved its population for a hundred years to build.

>What's the catch? It sounds too good.

>>2504693
Why make such a big deal out of exporting some batteries and electric motors to an automobile manufacturing heritage area?
