Well at least it sank before they put it out to sea

That's the point though. It's a credible deterrent to prevent China from ever thinking it's worth the gamble.

Wouldn't mortgage rates skyrocket in the western countries, making lots of people homeless?
Another disaster out of Wuhan, I wonder if I'll be able to get another 3 months furlough this time?

It says this happened in June. I wonder if it's one of the ones I posted about before or new. If it's new then they've lost multiple submarines recently
The U.S strategy means unification is always possible. The current policy is that independence is not supported, but violence is not supported and will be defended against. It means China can unify with Taiwan no problem, and the U.S won't do anything, as long as that unification is mutual - aka the people of Taiwan voted for it and there is no violence or military involvement. China has to take Taiwan by getting Taiwanese people to happily vote for it.
Unfortunately for China, latest polling still shows nearly 90% of Taiwan residents do not want to unify with China. That makes China mad because they are far from being able to unify with diplomacy

China nuclear sub sank in its dock, US officials say
The submarine sank earlier this year, in a major setback for the Chinese military, say US defence officials.

More on the sub

China has reached the 1960s stage of its development and now they have the hippie communes; China calls them nursing homes for the young - 20 and 30 year olds joining groups of other 20 and 30 year olds, these large groups moving to the country side, not working and just living off the land and doing nothing else, many of these people are previously unemployed and can't find work due to China's high youth unemployment rate

Whats going on Xi Jingping boy orders his troops to prepare for war! seems all the dictators are coming out the woodwork all of a sudden.
Doesn't sound so bad when you see the actual quote instead of sensationalized social media posts
During a visit to its rocket forces, the Chinese leader emphasized that the military must “enhance war preparedness and ensure that troops possess reliable combat capabilities.” He also noted the need for soldiers to improve their operational capabilities.

I suspect this is a trend we will see in the west very soon. Unless they keep immigration high. With our population being an inverted pyramid it is bound to happen.
Exactly. A bit pointless just posting articles without your take on it.
Without immigration we'd already be in the crapper. I don't even live in a big country and without any inward migration, our population would be falling by 100k a year
And research shows when you import migrants into 1st world countries, initially they provide a spike in birth rate but after 2 generations the birth rate of those migrants falls down to the same level as everyone else - so you have to keep immigration high and never turn the tap off. Therefore immigration is known to be a quick fix and a temporary one but no one has any solutions, so you'll continue to see the west keep the immigration taps open as long as possible
Most Asian countries are still very conservative, racist and generally unfavourable to immigration and despite the downsides they'd rather have a reducing population than import foreigners
