1. That is what dollar hegemony is all about. Buy raw materials cheap, then after making the product, sell it back to the people expensive, the US dollar price.
2. The entire rules based international order is to maintain this current arrangement. This is not America acting alone. Other countries can benefit too, so those countries have a stake in it, to maintain this current system.
3. The US government actions towards Huawei, was disproportionate. It's only telecom gear. Who can give a hoot? Maybe the Americans saw in Huawei an alternative system. Before, everything was American, after the war, the systems that the world runs on, were basically American. Huawei success with 5G, showed the world we do not need American systems. The most important American system is the US dollar hegemony. Do not let people have any ideas otherwise.
4. Got to give the American financial class a lot of credit. They shaped the way things worked worldwide, to enrich themselves, often at the expense of others, including the US government. Others may not have even figured out what happened to them, or is happening to them.
5. It is very impressive. The Americans do not even own the means of production. They own property rights to the IP, and they own logistical capabilities, coming into and out of America, aka, the distribution network, with Amazon and friends the enablers of that. From that, and some lobbying for the right government policies, they made all that wealth for themselves.
6. China, for better or for worst, will NOT co-operate with this kind of American lead world. There is a lot more to say about that, but that is like this entire forum, lol.
7, The guy who wrote that tweet, saying it is depressing, has no clue on how to fight back. Too bad for him. He should just follow the news on what CPC does.
