my brother in prosperity jesus, you moved the factories over there
well well well, if it isn’t the consequences of the profit motive
Selling the rope factories to be hanged with.
Nope long term thinking is no longer allowed in this capitalistic hellscape
Funny how “The Economy” just means “Profits for rich fuck faces”
I got recommended a video from business basics yesterday about how China is currently collapsing. I looked at their video history and they’ve been doing this for a while. Each video gets over a million views. Bonkers. Literally living in a different reality
China already collapsed. The reason why they collapsed is because they secretly entrapped the earth in a holographic dome which simulates China as a country. Whenever Biden talks to Xi it’s just an AI. The whole country already collapsed and every Chinese person is dead
Thank goodness, we can stop trying to go to war with them
You would allow a holographic gap??!!
yep, china was originally 100km tall but now it’s mostly ground level. the CCP punctured it and it collapsed and deflated, and now it’s flat.
It’s amazing just how shameless these people are. On the other hand, I’ve come to realize this is a good thing in the grand scheme of things. The west has convinced itself that China is weak, and that stands in the way of any real mobilization to counter what China is doing on the part of the west.
“China weak and bad” as USSR weak and bad in 1940…
China literally isn’t doing anything bad on an international level, they’re just building their economy using moderate state control, and the West can’t take it so they have to invent a new kind of “violence” China is enacting in the form of economic violence against the economies of other countries…and not for one god damn second will 99% of Americans stop to contrast the actual economic violence of US sanctions against say the Cuban people, vs the made up economic violence of Chinese downward pressure on renewable energy commodity costs. It’ll work, and my brain will keep melting
The way China has been developing (in broad strokes: state supported import substitution and resource nationalism) is exactly the way western imperialist powers developed. Yes I’m ignoring the class characteristics of this development, these are crucial as well, but just in terms of development policy China is doing something very similar to what Britain and the US did in order to develop their productive forces.
Instead of cooperating with China in the BRI, the US decided to make a western backed competitor. The initiative is primarily privatized with little state control, and so far they managed to come up with a few million (or low billions) in funding. And it’s likely abandoned because it was never talked about again after it was announced (which never even made headlines because no one cares about it).
Either they don’t give a shit, or it’s just another opportunity for the ghouls in Langley to base their hostile operations. Either way, the west continues to show that they don’t care about anyone or anything that isn’t white. It doesn’t matter if China is cynical or cunning or whatever. What matters is that they’re backing up their rhetoric and pushing their propaganda without some Chinese intelligence officer or soldier massacring a bunch of Africans to prove some stupid point.
Reminds me of when Israel used to call the UN “Legal terrorism” or some other variant thereof.
China is enacting in the form of economic violence against the economies of other countries
The evil seeseepee are killing western econimals
and the West can’t take it so they have to invent a new kind of “violence”
One industry China will never be able to take away from the west. They’re masters at it.
Politics makes a lot of sense when you stop assuming the average person has any clue what’s going on.
There is a very large number of people who could not tell you, without using their phones, which party controls each chamber of Congress.
It’s either the party that will convert us into a Christian nationalist hate machine if they have even the slightest majority or the one that can’t do anything without seriously compromising across the aisle unless they have a veto-proof majority in both houses and also the presidency.
On NPR today they were like “China is making so many solar panels that it’s lowering their price” implying this was bad because… 🤷
When interviewing people from Chinese industry they were like “overproduction is just a sign of a mature industry” “just innovate lol”
Even Chinese businesses can just throw out some Marxist Economics principles and the West reels.
Remember ten years ago when massive German subsidies were the driving force behind the dropping price of solar panels globally, and western media made a fuss about it? Yeah, me neither.
western media didnt need to make much of a fuss because the germans sabotaged their own growing solar panel industry voluntarily.
It’s bad because they’ll have to start implementing their milquetoast climate change policies instead of just performatively talk about it in speeches. If China produces the required equipment then the west have run out of excuses for why they can’t even implement basic shit
Their innovation: bifacial solar panels
Our innovation: answer machine that gets everything wrong
China will collapse. But also, China is ruining everyone else! They are both incompetent and competent at the same time. AmeriKKKa malding.
lol they really just went from China will collapse to China is making us collapse
China played the uno reverse card
Funny, they always said that other countries benefited from the West flooding them with cheap goods
What happened to taking the risks???
The west went to war with China because China didn’t want to pump their citizens full of opium and now the west is gearing for another war because the west doesn’t want cheap products and treats for their citizens (which was the entire purpose of outsourcing everything to China)
It has ever been thus. Remember when the UK forcibly deindustrialised India, causing a Dark Age in textile quality we still haven’t recovered from? (Try getting decent regency-era Chintz or Muslin, can’t be done.)
What if fucking global trade wasn’t a zero sum game?! Can you even imagine!?
China’s vast exports are a threat to the world
The “world” in question:
More like Roger Bootlick amiright?
“The world”
If you look up “reaping and sowing” in the meme dictionary, this is what pops up.
