China-U.S. Relations in a New Era

[@ScoobieDoo-zy1rh]

When he says overcapacity, you already know where this talk is going 😂😂😂

[@IEtoileFilanteI]

Exactly! If America wants to stay in power, at least have a plan for the world to improve everyone's lives. Keeping power for the sake of telling everyone what to do doesn't work just like it won't work when children become adults! Imagine how grateful everyone would be if America actually gave a shit to help lift everyone up. Let's move on from zero sum and do better.

[@anwiycti1585]

Tell the Chinese about letting everyone have a say 😂😂😂

[@dilippatel1590]

Look inwards for the problems US is facing in international affairs. The US government is constantly introducing societal reforms and micromanaging the whole social, economic, and international affairs. Yet who regulates the US political system. One hears lot of talk of 'founding fathers' and the making of the US Constitution of yesteryear, but its practice and following has been subject only in schools and academia.

[@catinbootsnow4267]

The US wants to isolate China in international space cooperation, only now ended up isolating itself from China's internationalized space programs including space station.

This was an excellent interview with someone who actually understands China. I look forward to Presnick being invited onto mainstream media programs. Oh... wait... That can't happen.

[@agoodchow]

Finished this hour long video, I am curious this guest Mitch Presnick had such in-depth understanding about China and difficulty in USA-China relation, so I quickly checked out. Mr Presnick, born in early 1970's and grew up in New York USA and used to the "mover-shaker" mentality in his formative years He somehow went to China in 1988 ( approaching the end of Deng era ) and started his business steps by steps and continued living there for 30 years. Because he was a hotelier opening, owning and operating multiple hotels everywhere in China, So he had contacted with many business and government levels, and understood the good and the bad and strength and weakness of China very well.

Greetings from Quincy, Massachusetts!! 7:50. My “unelevated mind” tuned into this video to hear this side of the argument and how the argument has changed since the fun really began around me in 2016. 1:02:00. FYI. The argument has eroded and is missing some big pieces. As to MIT, the Academic Quad is a few miles down the road. The day is cloudy and cool. May I suggest going there, sitting on the bench in front of the Quad on the Charles River and make a few observations about the prima facie.

[@ABCtriplets]

Again the buzz word “over capacity”! As long as there is demand, nothing can be said about overcapacity!

[@Anders01]

That's interesting what Mitch Presnick said, that in the business world there is a need to focus on short-term goals. China has huge long-term plans! One key to long-term planning I believe is to have redundancy so that bumps in the economy can be absorbed, and therefore China's current economic crisis is then just one of those bumps.

[@aachoocrony5754]

China's economic crisis? And what about the US economic crisis?

[@Anders01]

@@aachoocrony5754 My guess is that the U.S. is using more like short-term solutions. And "“Never let a good crisis go to waste.”

Thank you

[@lagrangewei]

you can't reshore manufacturing until you deal with the elephant in the room: foreign debt in USD. as bank lend USD globally, and the amount of debt denominated in USD is over 200 trillion, the interest payment from those debt is enough to push USD up as foreign country buy USD to repay the interest. this makes US product price in USD uncompetitive. the financial system in the US is just too dominate on the economy. you can't fix that, what are you going to do? close down the bank? that would be worst of the economy. so we really need to be honest, manufacturing is not coming back to the US. not without severely damaging the banking sector. I really hope we have very serious policy discussion. it is rather scary that after 16 year has passed from the finanical crisis, US still does not appear to have a down to earth economy policy for the future. we are still talking about what we want to see politically, as oppose to what is physically achievable. it is difficult to talk about China US cooperation, when US does not seem to be cooperating with itself, more push to depolarization of the country is needed, if US allow politic to control policy, US will not be able to solve it internal problem. and if it can't even resolve differences within itself, how does it possibly have a chance of resolving differences with others? EV for example, US is still arguing in itself if it should support EV, how do we as businesses find confidence to invest if the government doesn't even know what it wants? for now I think most of us, probably the chinese government as well, is just waiting to see who win the election. the lack of policy continuity make it impossible to make long term investment.

[@jeffreylo9203]

To think the, American can understand China is farfetched. Understanding 5000 years of history and cultyre is not an easy feat, let alone counteracting them. Humility and respect win the day!

[@MsOpineminded]

Bottomline China can make hard decisions for long term strategic goals. US can't bc of its election cycles. China's political mechanisms are constantly changing where US US ossified mired in the belief of its exceptionalism that cannot compete ( which frankly deliver a choice of two equally incompetent geriatrics)

[@kalipotmeng]

Balanced, nuanced and constructive. The views espoused by talks of the Hudson institute or the hoover institute are in comparison so ludicrous.

[@lolilollolilol7773]

So true. They are utterly incapable of putting their ideological blinds at bay. That's the problem with these institutes. A lot of ideology, and not so much curiosity.

For the US, it is overcapacity because it cannot complete and will not sacrifice its fossil based industry. For the rest of the world, it is huge demand for Chinese supply to be able to overcome the energy transition. Double standards is what the world calls the so-called overcapacity fabrication.
