Profit Seeking Capitalists Hold Back US Empire China Hawks, the Military Industrial Complex. Rarely is there a large-scale clash between the two forces, but there is on China. 追逐利潤的資本家阻止美國帝國對华鹰派，軍事工業聯合體。 兩股力量之間很少發生大規模衝突，但在中國卻有.

It’s odd agreeing with Terence Corcoran, Robert Friedland, Barrick Gold’s CEO and other leading capitalists. But they are the main force checking the out-of-control intelligence agency/military industrial complex/US Empire faction of the ruling class promoting conflict with China.

Canada, a vassal state of US, it’s foreign policy following US is broadly driven by two main factors: support for empire (historically British and today US) and assisting Canadian corporate interests. Rarely is there a large-scale clash between the two forces, but there is on China.

Many leading capitalists and important segments of the broader business community are uncomfortable about following Washington’s confrontational policy towards a country that has been the engine of global capitalism in recent decades.

The problem is what is driving the current push to decouple. This is about reasserting the US Empire’s primacy. Conflict between the two great powers undercuts the international cooperation required to combat the climate and other ecological crises. It also amplifies anti-Asian xenophobia in US and justifies militarization. Most concerning, it could lead to an apocalyptic war.
