Most Chinese vote conservative. We already experienced communism, not interested.

[@iShiftHappens]

@@acz88 Not true, in my opinion. I've lived in Taiwan for four decades where all major political parties are socialist. Right on not communism, but culturally Chinese are prone towards socialism, which is anathema to conservatism. Safety in accepted norms, don't rock the boat, etc.. Kudos to you for breaking the mold though. If you disagree for those in the USA, just consider where the largest Chinese/American communites are and how those districts go. I do not know of any who vote conservative. I could be wrong though. My wife will tell you it's not the first time. :)

[@user-bu5vq4en5l]

Can I ask Ms. Liao this one simple question? When she talks about 'democracy', does the government decides if they should go to numerous wars all over the world, or is it the voters/citizens who should decide what is best for America? I always thought it is the people who decides, not a unilateral decision from a government who has no plans of the outcome. Come November, Ms. Liao will get this answer when the people will decide if what this administration is doing right or doing wrong.

[@jamesburke3803]

"Isolationism" (or really, neo isolationism) is not about withdrawing from the world, cutting off trade and etc. Instead, it is a recognition that it is not in America's interests to give blanket protection, at no cost, to our economic competitors. For instance, Chairman Xi is in Serbia, where Serbs are bitter that President Clinton bombed them, and accidentally bombed China's Embassy in Belgrade. We were bombing them to stop Serbian slaughter of Kosovars.... something the EU should have done, but they choose to have a first class social safety net instead of defense. The attitude of European elites is "it's your responsibility to defend us, and our responsibility to criticize you". And nearly thirty years later, Serbs are bitter at the US, while hoping to gain entry into the EU. So... why was that in America's interests? It's not. Same can be said for Ukraine and Israel. We assume its our responsibility to resolve their problems.... but why? Biden is running on autopilot.... or maybe his administration is run by committee...or... we'll find out in the history books in a few years. This girl does not impress me at all. I think she was a peripheral member of some team, and pimped up her resume to say she "advised" Hillary and Uncle Joe.

It’s interesting that China never tried to colonize any of the ASEAN countries like the west did. It could have done it many times over throughout its long history.

[@davisutton1]

No, so far it has been satisfied with its Tibetan land grab. And, of course, it tried at various points to take Vietnam. So what is interesting to you is also not correct. China has also been historically preoccupied with internal dissent and control of that. In that sense it's little wonder that China did not look past its borders, mostly.

[@AB-fi5jt]

[@vincentyeo88]

[@spiritofgoldfish]

Mainstream ideology has twisted the meaning of "free market" into the opposite of what the classical economists like Adam Smith intended. The classical economists defined a free market as free FROM economic rents (unearned income), extracted by feudal landlords. The classical role of government is to keep natural monopolies in the public domain and tax away economic rents to use it to lower the cost of production. This is done through subsidies for such things as public infrastructure, education, and health care, not raising the cost of living and therefore the cost of labor, as with neoliberal monopolistic privatization. Mainstream Austrian and Libertarian Chicago School neoliberals have no role for the government in the economy, leaving the market free FOR economic rents, extracted by monopolies and the banks (FIRE, finance, insurance, and real estate). Because the economy does not stay out of government, the result is rule by the rentier oligarchy, otherwise called feudalism. These two approaches, industrial capitalism and financial capitalism, are what the new cold war is all about, and it is the story of financial capitalism sucking ever more life out of once vibrant US industrial capitalism. “It is suggested that the tipping point for being a rentier economy is when 40 per cent of income comes from rent. Even if just interest and dividends are counted as rent, the USA is already at that point.” Standing, Guy. The Corruption of Capitalism (p. 114). 2016

[@spiritofgoldfish]

How is the South China Sea different to China, than the Carribean is to the US?

[@spiritofgoldfish]

Rentiers derive income from ownership, possession or control of assets that are scarce or artificially made scarce. Most familiar is rental income from land, property, mineral exploitation or financial investments, but other sources have grown too. They include the income lenders gain from debt interest; income from ownership of ‘intellectual property’ (such as patents, copyright, brands and trademarks); capital gains on investments; ‘above normal’ company profits (when a firm has a dominant market position that allows it to charge high prices or dictate terms); income from government subsidies; and income of financial and other intermediaries derived from third-party transactions. Standing, Guy. The Corruption of Capitalism: Why rentiers thrive and work does not pay (p. 94).

[@spiritofgoldfish]

What is so ironic is that China’s policy has, as noted above, followed almost the same path that American protectionism did from 1865 through 1914: state subsidy for industry, heavy public-sector capital investment (but without creating predatory railroad land fortunes as became a U.S. economic curse), and social spending on education and health care to upgrade the quality and productivity of labor. This was not called Marxism in the United States; it was simply the logical way to look at industrialization, as part of a broad economic and social system. That frame of reference is now denounced as “the road to serfdom” and claimed to be autocratic, while the United States is itself moving into a financialized era of debt peonage. Michael Hudson.
