China had to make its own GPS, chips, space station, OS

Dear America, . You banned us from joining the international space station. So we worked hard to build our own space station. . You stopped us collaborating with you on scientific research. So we worked hard to build our own science research sector. . You weaponized the GPS system against us. So we worked hard to make our own satellite location system. . You stopped people selling us high grade semiconductors. So we worked hard to create our own high grade semiconductors. . You outsourced your factory work to us before labelling us the world’s top polluter. So we worked hard to become the world leader in clean energy. . You demonized us as a threat so you could build military bases around the world. So we worked hard to build railways and public infrastructure around the world. . You put 721 of us on an unfair blacklist to prevent trade. So we worked hard to find new customers to continue trade. . You stopped us using the world’s most popular phone operating system. So we worked hard to make our own phone operating system. . You’ve caused problems for the world over decades with your hunger for oil. We’ve worked hard to become the leader in supplying gas-free cars for the planet. . And these days, you talk endlessly about war. We have a very different message, and this is it: . The best way to destroy an enemy is to turn him into a friend. . We’re better together. China . [Includes images from Cottonbros/ Pexels; music from Bensound]
