But terms don't mean crap. Build back better, blue dot network, QUAD etc. All these terms went nowhere. The world isn't determined by the west anymore.
the chinese need to take better stewardship of communication art if they wish to take on softpower leadership. words shape thoughts, because they are the tools with which we interface with the world. this is like the "when you have a hammer, everything looks like a nail" effect. the west demonstrates distinct initiatives in thought leadership; as soon as a concept is developed, they rush to develop terms with which to handle it, and the way they attach the terms to the problem represents their own, western view of the matter. this is the conceptual equivalent of claiming newly discovered land and developing it. those who come subsequently will always be influenced thereafter by the structures left by these initial claimants. you can buy the land afterwards, but you will never be known as a pioneer. there will always be a difference.

What the fuck are you talking about? I read that post and responded to that point-to-point for why your analysis is wrong. Your numbers are irrelevent and cause a major misjudgement. We're past that.

I gave you the relevent numbers, which are GDP growth and export growth. Chinese rising domestic consumption is another relevant and positive number:

OK, since you did not understand my rebuttal, I will repeat the relevent sections:

"That number should be considered extra money. There are 2 ways to make that number smaller: 1 is for the US to buy less and the other is for us to refuse to sell as much as they want to buy. Neither is going to happen in good business. Our export numbers to the US can be high, but it's most important to make all other numbers from trade with other partners to domestic consumption, higher."

"The only way to make that untrue is to cut off trade relations. These companies didn't get the memo and move to diversify their clients when times were good so now they need to do it in a hurry or die out. They will never do it as long as the times are good so you can't be hung up about them. They were given years from Trump's first trade war to now to rely less on the US. If they haven't done it yet, it's not about time; it's about reason and will."

"Some people don't move until the wolf is knocking at the door. And some of them don't have to, because it's a totally legitimate point to make money while the oppertunity is there for it to be made. But they should have been keeping a fat savings account to help them with the transition when they are forced to make it; the writing was on the wall that selling to the US was a gig, not a career."

Of course. They go to drug rehabilitation centers and their new life is nothing like their old life. You've never heard of a drug rehab center giving people drugs, telling them they can quit cocaine slowly over 5 years, have you? This is the same. Their new life is exporting to other markets now. The American drug is the dead old life.
Get a life, man.
