If we're talking only in the context of an industry that needs a lot of cheap labor, then it's true. But if the talk is focused on the technological aspect, then the Chinese economic miracle is only at the beginning stage.

Must be CCP here...

[@user-em5wy8zx7o]

@@couttsw Not really, in fact my country was one of the biggest victims of communism propaganda in the past. thousands of my countrymen were killed by the communists aided by weapons from the USSR and CCP. But, as a rationalist and as a person who has had the opportunity to travel around China for months, I agree that currently Chinese industry is moving from cheap labor-intensive industry to technology-intensive. We know now that Huawei has started to make their own OS and high-end chips that have been recognized worldwide and even surprised America. We also know that their dominance in 5G shows how Chinese technology has grown and dominated in recent years, so America must use its influence to stop China from dominating 5G technology. In crypto technology, we also know that Bitmain, Iceriver, etc. were all created in China from the start. And there are many other examples that show that China is pioneering its dominance in high technology-based industries. including in the electric car industry.

China have the best meritocratic and experienced leaders and government for the past 5 decades. China a massive country and have tens of key pillars in their economies. There will surely be revolving ups and downs in different sectors of the economy. China main growths is in their growth in foreign trades, infrastructure projects and it’s growing trades with 170+ countries now. For the past two decades China middle income population were growing fast and adding on the China’s GDP expansions. Every countries have wealthy peoples investing some of their money overseas is normal and that will not seriously affect China government finances. Lee Kuan Yew was always paranoid about the conditions how he governed Singapore even after he successfully took Singapore to became the world most successful and wealthy nation in the world. Deng Xiaopeng and all his following leader China Central Committee were paranoid too and worried that nothing were perfect and constantly changing of their policies without the worry and needs with winning votes in the next election but through a team of meritocratic and experienced central government committees to implement changes from time to time. President Xi Jinping can be eliminated from his position by the few hundred Central Committee if he doesn’t perform well for their peoples and their country.

China's 40 year turnaround story is being discussed by the West as a miracle. Would China flounder because of a property problem which in many ways is intentional to keep property prices down? China has seen the flaws of high property prices in Hong Kong and Singapore and would not let this to happen in China, leading to fake economic growth but real hardship to the average citizens. Economic growth led by inflating property prices and stock prices is an economy on steroid. Not real growth. America's 1% economic growth was hailed as rock solid by western analysts. And this is coupled with a 5% inflation which would make the American economy super rock solid. How about calling this an American miracle? And the same group of analysts dismissed China's 5% growth as a collapsing economy, even when inflation is nearly zero in China. What would the same analysts describe India's 6% growth? Collapsing faster than China or super solid like America's 1% growth?

It has been featuring speakers spinning one-way anti-China monologues with the main theme that China has changed because of Xi who is dictatorial and therefore a cause of China's downturn. Almost everything that are being said is so different from experience on the ground and different from facts. Just on covid itself, China puts life above business and saved more lives than it could have lost (compared to US?). As for covid vaccines, their effectiveness had been well verified outside China but required 3 doses instead of 2. An Australian Jerry Grey has been in China for over a decade and documenting life in China in his KZbin channel, Jerry's take of China. He explains why most of the spins that are mentioned here are false. Another on-the-ground vlogger, a Belgian business consultant, Pascal Coppens, has written a book, 'Can China be trusted' explains why and how the West misunderstands China. The China-US relation is critical to overcoming our common existential threats posed by climate change, arm race, Ai, and nuclear weapons Asia Society sadly has deviated from its mission to promote better understanding of China to one of demonising China.

The idea that a country with an average weighted tariff of 2.5% is deliberately deglobalizing just bcuz trade as a share of GDP didn’t go up, seems like a really lazy & unprofessional take. American tariff rates are lower than almost anywhere else, & we absorb historically gigantic trade deficits with a contented a-plum that I think would be difficult to find any corresponding examples of. As for the economics matters not stopping China…..Adam supposes that our trade relationship with China is to our benefit. It is not. Every state in the American union would be better off if the bulk of our international supply chains were with countries we can actually sell to in return, that don’t get free access to our R&D w/o any investment contribution themselves.

[@jonlbdg]

True but when something like 47% of chinas GDP growth was investment driven growth, at some point you need consumers to spend more and create consumer driven growth - as you run out of things to invest in- and you need that consumer spending to fuel continued growth in China’s GDP…

Restricting China from getting technology that enables from building the most advanced weapons is doable and being done. This is being done in collaboration with many like minded countries. The US is building and nurturing relationships~ with Vietnam, Philippines, Mexico and dozens of others. The problems are China, Russia maybe Iran and certainly North Korea. Most of the world’s population is Asian. That would still be at least close to half without including China. I agree that even the headline MAGA is cringy but that is not the message from the current administration.

China has become the largest car exporter in the world this year ahead of Japan. Secondly, China publishes the most Tier One Peer-Review Scientific Reaearch Papers in the world today. Do the two scenarios above reflect a relative declining nation or in transformation. If you are referring the "decline" to be the cheap copycats or declining from being sweatshop industries than I surely agreed. Some even suggested 2014 was the year China had growth out of the cacoon to become an innovative and high tech leader. This followed by the trade war in 2019 till now or else why have the rivalry if China is actually nobody Unfortunately, there are many China Expects out there ever since the year 2000, predicting the collapse of China as China Experts.😂 Wonder if US or any other major economy in the world today, is performing much better in term scale and growth rate than China. Dun forget in GDP per capita term there are still plenty of rooms for improvement.

Funny how the host mentioned that she had to call her friend in McD Shanghai to check how many outlets are open during CoV? 😅 Also she trying to tell everyone that she comes from a family of doctors and very conversant on the medical updates. The session is without subjects heading where she & her guest is taking everyone around all subjects from the economy, finance, competitions, politics, manufacturing, government behaviour but ultimately dislike how Chinese government runs their country and ultimately instigating people to take out Xi Jing Ping. If USA can compete with China, then leave people alone. I wonder if these host and guest will have a session on USA and how they would like to take out their own President? Typical Americans, can’t look after their own back yard.

But not discussion on the economic war the US has waged on China since the pivot to Asia? It's as Cuba's economy didn't suffer under US economic sanctions and Venezvuela's didn't suffer and Iran's economy didn't suffer. Starting since the pivot to Asia US economic warfare against China started slowly and has ramped up tremendously. Isn't that the main reason why China's growth has slowed? But an indicator of future growth is progress in science and technology. In jan 2023 the Australian think tank (ASPI?) published a report on 44 key science and technology areas critical for the 21st century. And China led in 37 of them. In spite of the sanction efforts of the US, that has reached extreme levels in some areas China is now over taken both Germany and Japan becomming the biggest producer and exporter of electric vehicles. China has now produced 7nm chips. It's dominance solar and wind power and high speed rail continues. The US auto industry like the global auto industry is moving rapidly to EVs and they all buy chinese batteries.
