Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Really not the time to sleep on China if you want to keep your Imperial empire guys.
China completely ravaged US manufacturing and y'all are still in the corner wanking over 'cheap Chinese product.'
China doesn't just make the cheap things you use. They make everything you use.
Stop licking your wounds with petulent little jabs like this and start finding a way to compete. You know, the way your sacred free market dictates that you should.
China went from making cheap things to making everything you use cheap with either you or the American corporation you purchased from pocketing the difference.
They're on a path to making things better than the US and once they do, we'll have a new world order. If the US doesn't wake up now, the second half of this century will be very different than the past 150 years.
Do you ever wonder how they can be so much cheaper?
Low labor costs and centralization but the how matters less than the if and when (will they supercede the US) in this scenario.
What are you thinking of?
EVs in the next 10 years. They've made massive investments dating back over a decade while the US can be described as aimlessly meandering like a drunk on the side of a freeway at best.
I also see the past decade of histrionic sjw attention-seeking as a meandering waste of time.
