Problem is large private American and European corporations will absolutely need to move out of China before China feels it. It's all fine and good to talk about how evil Xi's China has become, but corporate greed is a major factor when it comes to world economics, and they are likely to try and squeeze every last dollar they can from China before moving, greatly hampering the west's ability to contain China without causing a *massive* global economic collapse. While China is much more dependent on the west than the west is on China, cutting China off right now would hurt absolutely everyone in immeasurable ways.

Large global corporations can only continue to invest in China in order to survive, as there is no other market with a population of 1.4 billion people. China emphasizes cooperation and win-win outcomes, not the "survival of the fittest" approach advocated by American imperialism. The United States is constantly provoking wars, committing mass slaughter of Muslims, fomenting color revolutions, spreading rumors and slandering opponents, and now even blowing up the natural gas pipeline of its allies! The United States is definitely a state sponsor of terrorism, and the label of evil can only be pinned on the United States.

Most Western brands of electronic goods (and many other sectors) outsource assembly, subassembly or components to China. Alternatives will take time. Malaysia, Indonesia, Vietnam, India, etc still lack the sheer SIZE of China's manufacturing capacity. Diversification of inputs and sources is "insurance" and provides stability but it will take some time. China has a vast internal market and is engaged in the task of lifting around one third of its population out of poverty. The internal market for Chinese industry is HUGE and growing. Diversification of sources and providers by the West should surely be viewed as "not putting your eggs in one basket" rebalancing, stabilizing and improving the resiliency of the productive chain (which has recently shown its fragilities) and not as inflicting harm to China.

A few key problems with this kind of attitude. 1. It makes China an enemy, when they did not have the intention to be an enemy. Initially, they were trying to solve a local regional issue with Taiwan without force but now they are forced to have a new doctrine towards the issue, and now there's a military build-up with the largest manufacturing infrastructure in the world. 2. Semiconductors. Although they are behind, 7nm production is coming forward, it makes them now in the future, a point of friction. When there weren't these frictions in the past, things worked smoothly; now things won't work smoothly, even if the US decided to change their rhetoric towards China because they have long term systems. It will be long remembered how America treated China. 3. People have been talking about the demographic problems that China is going to have in the future. What they don't see through the propaganda is that China has always looked to lower it's population while also solving the problem that comes with a decreasing and aging population. The fully automatic Tianjin Port is an example of this where there are just people behind a screen running robotics, AI, and automation. Old people's pensions will essentially be paid for by robots doing "work". They are a little far from the ultimate result, and many countries will not have this kind of modern technological advancement available to them, so the human variable will still be apparent for a long time to come but nevertheless, this is the beginning. AI, robotics and automation will be the future of humanities and modern demographic problems. China is a major country to the world economy and the people of the world, even if some are too ignorant to see it. They are filled with wisdom, solutions and innovation all around the world. The hostilities will only make the future more bleak for everyone else.

Companies surrender critical IP and trade secrets just for cheaper goods and tenuous temporary access to the Chinese consumer market. Meanwhile BRI recipients receive a small army of Chinese workers who wall themselves into colony-like compounds and provide less local work opportunities than promised, while getting troublesome build projects, proliferated corruption, and added debt that's even harder to clear than their existing Western ones.

@@doujinflip Having worked with Chinese manufacturers, never had any IP issues; though they do have different laws in terms of IP filing.

Many financial economists find it not to be true, China does not have an excess amount of debt; the US sits at almost 1.3x, Japan at almost 2.7x at Debt-to-GDP ratio, Portugal at 1.3x, Greece at almost 2.1x; China at 0.50x with other sources as high as 0.76x and expecting a 0.80x for 2023.

The deaths were Mao's fault. He blocked all economic trade, agriculture trade and diplomatic relations with America and capitalist/western democracies. .

[@johanhirte9661]

The UN Resolution 500 imposed on China in 1951 due to the Korean War, didn’t include food or any other necessities. The resolution recommended that all nations impose a trade embargo of weapons, ammunition and implements of war, as well as the means of their productions, along with atomic energy materials, petroleum, and transportation of strategic value, to areas under the control of the Central People's Government of the People's Republic of China and of the Government of North Korea. Also in 1953 the embargo for weapons was lifted by many nations. The famine happening in 1958-62 was caused by Maos incompetence and stupidity….. Was it the idea to plant the grain 2 meters deep ? The commune kitchens? The 4 pests campaign that killed all the sparrows. You can also blame the weather and what’s her else happened but it is fact that it was a man made famine and when you read the book 墓碑。 you can read about the things happened. From people being beaten up and get killed for reporting the true amount of grain, and their children starving afterwards. Cannibalism and the complete starvation of entire landscapes and villages. People being buried alive for stealing a potato or being executed because they have hidden food. Also Mao could not loose face so he was more than happy to act like nothing happened and export grain to the Soviet Union. In fact the west has been ready to send food and aid to China and could not do that till 1961 because Mao was not allowed to lose his face and admit there was a famine. In March 27 1961 the biggest grain export of Australia was to China. The article in the news even points out that the Chinese asked for not mentioning this sales publicly……. So pls check the info you are spreading. No one blocked China from buying food. All they blocked China from was buying weapons and steel and tech. The USAID even send many tons of food aid to China under the 480 public law. Also the uS has send aid to China in the 2nd word war to support China against Japan. It doesn’t matter how friendly you are to China. The government can never accept failures and can never acknowledge help openly. Same in North Korea. Do you think anyone knows the food they feed the army or the people was Aid from The US ? Or Europe ? This is always the magic happened thx to Kimy boy. Maybe he has touched the ground and the grain bags with US logo on it came out of the ground. 😂😂 And I don’t know if it is a good thing when a country can develop a nuclear bomb during the people are dying in starvation. North Korea was also capable of developing during the people starve at the same time. No idea if this is a good thing to use the resources for bomb development when the people are dying.

China is working on ensuring that any product or item of technology worth having can be designed and produced in China if necessarily so as to make it truly fully sanctions proof. Presently, the semiconductor materials and equipment and IC chip restrictions are slowing it, but they are not magical constructs. The principles of science and technology are the same everywhere. Part of the reason why China did not make too great a concerted effort in that past to ensure that it had much in terms of the entire supply chain value of semiconductor and IC chips was because it believed that being the largest consumer of them, the US and its allies would not want to harm the commercial interests of their companies by sanctioning China as greatly as they are doing so. Now that the US has shown its willingness to do so, China is shifting towards potential autarky. With its market size and skilled population, China will be able to in time replace all foreign suppliers in perpetuity...

I don't think it's nearly as hard as has been portrayed here. Obviously you can't decouple yourself overnight or the chaos mentioned here would become a reality but a slow, methodical approach would not result in very much upheaval at all. But we have to start NOW. It starts by cutting deals with China's main adversaries like Vietnam, India and The Philippines and moving your business there. Interestingly, this is already happening in many sectors and without much or even any coercion from the US government. As more and more companies start to see China for what it really is, and realize the risks of tying up a lot of money in the country, they're already taking steps to separate themselves. Furthermore, China is no longer the bargain basement manufacturer of choice. Mexican labor for example, is now cheaper than Chinese labor as well as being just better overall and much more reliable. And I'll mention again what a glorious opportunity Latin America represents to the US and Eastern Europe does to Western Europe. Making some serious investments in those areas would pay huge dividends in a relatively short time and as a bonus, go a LONG way in solving the migrant crisis.

[@theforsakeen177]

China is still better than mexico as their country is much safer and they cannot really scale up to chinese production level yet. But what you said about latin america is true as some europeans countries like italy are now looking toward latin american countries for immigration yet these countries have a fertility rate similar to eastern europe and east asia now, letting more of their citizens go will hurt them more in the long term, eastern europeans used to migrate to western europe en masse following their entry in the EU but now many are wealthy enough that they don't need to; Also an advantage china there has over the US and the west there is that china except in their own immediate region does not really intervene much elsewhere, apart from the west or countries like india no one really care what china does with their own territory like tibet or hong kong.

I'd very much like to not hear anymore the talk of cheap labor. This is neocolonialism, the politics towards a cheap labor country is to keep it that way.

There is a cynicism in discussing china and other countries like pieces on a geopolitical map that is abhorring for the countries that are seen as less valuable to the global economy and their citizen as second class citizens or worse.

The key reason for US to contain China is because China is surpassing US in GDP, not because of CCP or government.

[@simonocerous3138]

I disagree with the contention that it would be too costly to seize Chinese assets abroad. Overseas Chinese assets have largely been purchased using internally generated Chinese debt. China's financial system would be unable to cope if these assets were seized and therefore unable to be used to service this enormous debt. This is because China's economy is more leveraged than any other in human history. Also, the amount of Western assets that China could seize in reciprocity is much smaller in comparison with what it holds outside China; and China's overseas assets (even its Belt and Road project loans) are denominated in $US, not Chinese renminbi, making them much easier for the US to seize. Undoubtedly such a course of action would cause enormous upheaval to the global economy, but it would only considered and acted upon in the most serious circumstances, such as a Chinese invasion of Taiwan. Yes, China is far more integrated into the world economy than Russia, but that also means it much more to lose and is far more susceptible to Western economic sanctions and asset seizures.

I can't their proposed system to trade with each other (essentially bartering) to avoid using USD ever becoming more than a populist talking point. The Saudi royal family would probably love to trade oil in currencies other than USD (especially if it helps their fellow dictators in other autocracies), but they know they won't last long without US security guarantees. Lastly, China would be delighted if the Renminbi was to join USD, Euros, Yen (and to a lesser extent) GBP as a reserve currency. However, that's never going to happen unless China allows its currency to be floated and freely traded (which it won't because it would drop like a stone if the Chinese government didn't keep propping it up). So for those reasons I don't see any the USD losing its reserve currency status anytime soon; despite the US government's never-ending budget deficits and ballooning debt.
