  1. China should retaliate on luxury, alcohol and automotive sector, by putting 50% tariff on luxury, alcohol and automotive import from EU.

  5.  @ikkong8436  I bet if China attack, most of DPP politicians will escape to Japan or US. The military on the other hand, some will probably fight hard, while significant proportion will probably surrender or defect.

  6. China still grow 4-5% while having low inflation, sound like a great situation for the Chinese, isn't that is what the developed economy have for years?

  7. Factionalism isn't new, nor is it a news. Every political party has factions, every society has factions, every organization has factions, even the dictatorship has factions.

  8. Asia, Africa, Latin America who need Russian oil will find alternative to SWIFT. Over time, SWIFT dominance and dollar dominance will end.

  9. for a country that has nothing to do with it, the US awfully involved a lot, I would say it is the main culprit beside Russia, even more so than the European countries.

  10. What is the meaningful way in addressing the property crisis according to you? Bailing them with tax payer money like the US did in 2008? I don't think so. China is doing what smart nation do in a crisis, not wasting a crisis. This property crisis is a good moment to teach people not to gamble in property speculation. Something the governments around the world, including China, have failed to do for years. Just like Xi said, house is for living, not speculation. You can hate the guy, but what he said is true. Property speculation for decades have only caused property bubbles, and made housing beyond affordability of common people. Speculation also caused bubbles that in turned turn into massive loss as we saw in US 2008 mortgage meltdown. As for investing in China, I see no reason not to do that. You just need to pick you cherry. Some companies are still profitable, yet their stocks are falling down. Meaning, it is a once in a lifetime chance to pick steep discounted stocks. For example, Alibaba, it is ridiculous how cheap its stock is currently, even though it is still making money. The fundamental is sound. The only headwind is the possibility of US-China war. But if it happen, stock market crashing is probably the last thing you worry about.

  11. Countries are balancing their relationship with China and the US. Most countries pursue economic relationship with China while pursuing security relationship with the US. This actually creating an unbalance relationship. What countries like Indonesia should pursue is to increase economic relationship with the US while increasing security relationship with China to balance the unbalance relationship that has been going on for a long time now.

  15. EU really need to learn from what the former Singaporean diplomat, Kishore Mahbubani said. He said EU and US interest have began to diverge. This war is one of the signs. The US is the one who insisted NATO to expand eastward. EU is very reluctant. Now this happen, and EU will be the one to bear the majority of the costs, from higher energy prices to millions of refugees. The US on the other hand will become richer from selling gas and oil to EU with much higher prices.

  16. eurozone is so screwed, now we will see if the US is a real all weather ally to Europe or not.

  18. the world is not consisted only of the west, there are the rest of the world too, and the rest of the world could only give a frack to the concern of the west.

  19. On the contrary, if China shifted the economic model from export oriented to consumption, then China will import more from global market. That will make global economy to have another alternative to the US market. Of course it won't be good for the US. For one thing, the US is going to lose its most important supplier of cheap goods, and it won't be easy to find new cheap suppliers in the next 5 years, which mean higher inflation will become a normal thing in the US. With China emerge as a consumption based economy, it will also become a competitor to the US in importing stuffs, which again will contribute to the higher inflation in the US. All this happen when the US is killing its economy to bring down the inflation.

  20.  @fungames24  a few thousands brits armed with cannon and rifles taking on enemies armed with spear and bows are not what I could call an equal fight.

  21. War in Europe is not enough for NATO, now it want to create another war in Asia. The military industrial complex is ruling the west.

  22.  @fungames24  what?? Mao isn't god. Sure, he was the master of guerilla tactics, but even he wouldn't bring spears to a gun battle. But yeah, Qing dynasty last days were full of incompetent people, that I can agree with you.

  24. EU should demand price cap on energy import from their so called ally the US. It is outrageous for the US to maximize the profit from energy export to EU at this time.

  27. Why would China launch stimulus when the rest of the world turn inward and abandoning free trade? China also want to transition its economy, launching stimulus for old economy model is contradictory to the goal. More importantly, Chinese people have saving, they just don't want to spend it, which is understandable because they just came out of lockdown for three years where they have hardly any income. Launching stimulus won't make them spend money at this time, they are replenishing their saving.

  29.  @ssuwandi3240  You think China wanted conflict? For decades China is making cheap stuffs to export to the west, and grew out of poverty from it. But China reached a certain point where it is not enough anymore to just relying on being OEM and exporting cheap goods. This is what they called middle income trap. To break out from this trap, China need to have its own corporate champions and China did succeed in creating giant corporations like Huawei, Alibaba, Tencent, DJI, Hisense, TCL, BYD, Nio, and many more. How did the west respond? Well, the US launched a trade war and a so called decoupling that downgraded to derisking. Should China just close shops and back to being OEMs, and forever deemed its citizens to be slaves? Hell no. Oh and your reasoning that Japan came out of its lost decades because of tourism is hilarious and wrong. For one thing, I'm not even sure Japan is out of the wood yet. Secondly, big economic countries like China and Japan can't just rely on one sector, just like it won't go down just because one sector is in trouble. That's why this so called China is doom because of property crisis theory is also incorrect as we can see from the GDP growth that is still can be considered healthy in many countries.

  32. China has deflation problem, tariff won't hurt China much since it will just push the price a bit for the Chinese consumers. Europe has inflation problem, tariff will add to inflation, and that will hurt European customers. So I don't think China will back down in the face of tariff war if that is what the foolish Europeans want.

  35. AI surely have long term potential, but in the next 5 years, it is just a hype. Just like internet boom in the 90's. It is hardly a recession proof, the first thing people do when recession hit is to cut back on expensive experimental thing.

  39.  @fredfrond6148  Few years ago, there was news about how Merkel herself called Chinese president to ask him not to postpone the ban of fossil fueled cars so soon, because it will have effect on German cars. The Chinese themselves have given up on trying to dominate the fossil fueled car industry, when they picked an EV expert who used to work in German as their tech minister. The guy changed the focus of the Chinese gov support from the fossil fueled car to the EV. He is retired now from the ministry, but now we see the fruitful harvest of his policy.

  40. As investor of Alibaba, I would like to see Alibaba innovate more, instead of engaging in propping stock price with buy back. That being said, buy back is good for the company who can buy back shares with cheaper price.

  42. Stimulus will take time to show the effect. Chinese government just announced it less than a month, it is ridiculous to expect the stimulus to show immediate effect. Another stimulus won't show the effect immediately too.

  43.  @ssuwandi3240  what on earth are you talking about? what does anything I said have anything to do with visa or huawei play by host country rules? are you talking about western countries banning Huawei? if yes, sure, Huawei can't do anything, did you see Huawei do anything to break their laws in their countries? but if China retaliate by banning their companies in China, well, don't cry, play by the rules set up by China, no?

  46. Basically the US want its allies to stop selling to Chinese market, their biggest customer, while at the same time want its allies to move their factories to the US. Sound like a win win where the US win and win more, while its allies are eating dirt, LOL.
