  1. They use the term "economic coercion" because its what everybody says about them. They seemingly don't quite understand what it means because they don't understand how use the term correctly. Look, if you're positioning yourself as a competitor and military threat to a country - they would have to be crazy to keep supplying you with the technology you would use to potentially hurt them or their national security interests with. China would absolutely not be selling the US any technology they feel would hurt their interest or their national security. However China does not really have any high-end technology that the US buys from them, hence why they resort to export banning things like rare metals and whatnot in retaliation. So here is the question - on one hand China and it's nationalists boast as being so strong, self-reliant, technologically independent, and superior to the US - yet they get so mad then when the US stops giving them technology and investment. So which one is it? You can't be both so strong and brittle at the same time. You either still heavily rely on the US quite a bit for your goals or so strong that you deal with anything they throw your way.

  2. China: "We don't meddle in other peoples affairs" Also China: "Lets set up the largest foreign disinformation operation in the world..."

  3. I love how he mentioned that China is actively and significantly decouple from the US. In fact, China started decoupling way before there was any hint of this in the West under its "dual circulation" policy, which dates any talk of decoupling from outside. So when you hear all this rhetoric from Chinese diplomats against "decoupling" - its utter nonsense and banks on the fact that 99.9% won't ever look at Chinese economic/geopolitical policy. P.S. - I'm ready for you WuMao/bots/nationalists. Boohoo and cry more

  4. I've also noticed he doesn't like to mention why he sells certain stocks, especially since its still his biggest position of common stock... bc he knows he'll tank it. I've seen him tip toe around these questions before

  5. Doesn't apply here... they barged into managements offices and wouldn't leave

  6. It wasn't... can you please leave out conspiracies out of this please. Its already in everything else

  7. There is something they can do about it - increasing household wealth to increase consumption. However it seems to be something they don't want to do because its politically difficult and they would rather be in control of where money goes instead of empowering the individual

  8. Right he cares so much about his hair... oh sorry thought you were talking about Trump

  9. I don't. He's so vocal about censorship and the US government but when it comes to China - he is tight lipped as can be

  10. Hmm I don't think Microsoft offered him a job simply to give him leverage in negotiations and gamble in that manner. I think that is thinking too far into it... I think they likely offered him a job because they seem him as a unique talent and saw it as an opportunity

  11.  @leond9999  Oh it's English, it was just too much for you to understand. 我如果说中文你看得懂吗？

  12. Year end rally? Lets start teaching people to be investors and start thinking out more than just a month

  13. I'm a democrat but I'm not a fan of DEI initiatives

  14. What about the massive subsidies they get? If for no subsidies, they would not be competitive. Hence the EU investigating them for subsidies and China getting mad about it

  15. I literally said the same thing above. We need to start reciprocating and realize these guys have nefarious intentions in any way possible

  16. Everything has to be through a political lense for you guys eh? No, they're problems started with cutting corners on cost and obviously not taking enough care of their workforce in pursuit of higher profits

  17. I live in China and I wouldn't touch Chinese stocks with a 10 ft pole....regardless of how much upside potential there is. Living through the zero covid days, increasingly harsh regulations, large amounts of fraud/corruption, housing bubble, and bangin the war drum... noway. Better/safer places to put your money

  18. Lol... if thats how you interpret all of this - you live in lala-land or under a rock

  19. Lol oh I didn't know that your area's autoworkers were the whole economy. What a smart person

  20. A lot of countries have tariffs on American goods. You are factually incorrect.. India has a 10% tariffs on US goods.....EU also has tariffs on US cars...just a few examples, there are more.

  21. I hope Trump doesn't F this up.... I'm sure the drug companies have donated a ton to him and bought him.

  22. US, S. Korea, and Japan all seem to have enjoyed a great relationship for a very long time. Infact, US has a much better relationship with most of Asian than China does. So ask yourself who is the common denominator in these bad relationships. More importantly, ask yourself which man is the common denominator in these bad relationships.

  23. Microsoft popping on this news shows you the short term focus of the market. This deal would've been a longterm win - and this decision should have made the stock go down, if the market actually had a longterm perspective.

  24. Stop making everything political...

  25. I'm a longterm bull, and thats why I actually hope Eric is right and stocks dip way back down, even to Oct lows. It's all a buying opportunity if you have a 5-10 year horizon

  26. He was trying to make it for profit when he was there, and left because they wouldn't and give him full control. He is the one scamming

  27. Something else that is interesting is how China is supposedly a "socialist" country...yet lacks meaningful social programs and safety nets. It's like they kept the authoritarian aspect of socialism and give none of the supposed benefits. All of the responsibility is on the people to figure it out for themselves, whenever hard times are thrust upon them

  28. They have tried this multiple times and it did not work...as we see the US oil industry booming more than ever

  29. Definitely an ideological bend. The party wants to be the one to generate growth and increasing household income gives more say/power/control of the economy to the people who will look to satisfy their own needs and wants and not the party's.

  30.  @Fred-t8q  I just think initiatives where the sole purpose is to pick people based on race or gender is not helpful to the business and alienates a lot of people. I think its fine if , for example, you have 3 equally qualified candidates (ie 2 white males and 1 black female) and you choose the black male because you have a lack of diversity... but that doesn't seem to be whats going on here. It seems like there are quotas to hit and when you create quotas you create incentives for people to seek out others based on ethnicity/gender instead of the most qualified individuals. I also think it can make a lot of people feel alienated. So I'm very much for diversity, but I'm not for initiatives that seek out people based on race and gender as the primary focus to achieve specific DEI targets/quotas

  31. Think longterm, not short term trends

  32. They are drops in the bucket when you consider the total size of the US workforce. Remember it's a country of 3.31 million

  33. Your looking at a cube and calling it a square. The savings far outweigh any spending to the point where it actually reduces the deficit. The drug pricing aspect alone will save an estimated 100 billion because Big Pharma gouges us by not allowing medicare to negotiate prices (something all developed countries can do). I know reading is hard but look at the details with an objective mind before forming an opinion.

  34. I know this is so hard for you to fathom, but there are institutions that don't play into your petty politic games that you think everything revolves around.

  35. Bro if you think Kamala is "far left" you've been consuming too much NewsMax

  36. First the horrible re-brand to "X" and now "Grok" ? Man they really know how to pick names over there.

  37. Don't become a day trader. Bad idea

  38. Well except it's not

  39. Sounds like China should thank the US then and won't be mad at all about these new curbs. It's puzzling though why they asked the Commerce Secretary to take off the previous curbs though since this only helps them hmmm

  40. Newsflash: China's debt problems are much worse than the US LOL. What a fool to make that comment...

  41. I live in China and know many Russians and Ukrainians here. It's not "all good" in western Ukraine dude....not to mention they're still very likely to fall as country to Russia in the medium to long term. Do some hard work and research things like this (from legit and nonbias resources) before coming to such conclusions.

  42. Hardly... economy is booming

  43. Thing is, the US gov does not own those private energy companies. They aren't nationalized.... I do think this stems from subsidize in the chips and inflation reduction act.

  44. Statistically not a good idea. Many many more have lost shorting apple than won

  45. What did Buffet say... better to buy a great company at a fair price rather than a fair company at a great price.

  46. Nah I'd say he's mostly spot on

  47. Please explain yourself. Most of the "decoupling" has been done by corporations themselves who did so at their own will when it was revealed during the pandemic what over-relying on the Chinese could entail. It hurt consumers much more during that time, which hurt their business, and they don't want that to happen again... nor do consumers.

  48. Longterm? A lot better than China's.

  49. 3 things going bullish for Disney right now 1. Movies being allowed again in China (top line) 2. layoffs (bottom line) 3. reshuffling (speculative) Either way it's good news in all aspects. I'm still in red a bit on Disney but I can't be mad about all of the recent events

  50.  @williambrandondavis6897  So who is pumping all the oil in the US? We are at record production. I'm reading that shale oil on average needs a price of 50$ per barrel to be profitable. It's at 75$
