  1.  @adrian9098  There is now 27 books published on what China invented that says we copied from them 👇 Why was China erased from Western memory The remarkable history of Chinese invention - Why was China erased from Western memory? Article by 龙信明 Introduction Joseph Needham was an English medical doctor and biologist, teaching in England in the 1930s. By an accident of fate he acquired some Chinese students, and was intrigued to hear their claims of so many medical and scientific discoveries having originated in China, rather than in the West. Needham became fully fluent in Chinese, and eventually moved to China in 1942 to investigate these claims and to research the entire history of Chinese invention. That work led to an astonishing voyage of historical discovery. Needham originally planned to write a book cataloguing Chinese inventions, but his first volume barely scratched the surface of his subject. He slowly gatherred many of his students into this enterprise, and they eventually wrote a collection of 26 books, to catalog the history of Chinese discovery. Myth and Misrepresentation It leaves one speechless to learn the vast extent of things invented by the Chinese many hundreds of years, and often several millennia, before they appeared in the West MySingaporeBlogSpot

  2.  @adrian9098  Better question you should be asking is what happened to China China is a harbinger for these Western Countries electing these right wing Governments looking to close off borders China spent the better part of a millennia trading places with India for top economy in the world By the 1430s it was the top economy and technological leader in the world . But their emperor at the time started the slow process of closing in on itself closing off its borders/nationalism Like we are seeing with far right Governments and the Americans these days This lead to 400 years of decline and then an eventual semi colonization of China for 100 more years Where even up to the 1980s China was 88% in abject poverty These days they are back and they did not run up the external debt like the Americans are running up these days

  3. From what I understand there is a big chunk of Americans against EV cars/renewable, green clean tech. And there is for sure hostility towards Chinese EV cars. These factories would be primarily for the Mexican & South/Central American markets first I would be concerned if Mexico started to ban or put tarrifs up on Chinese EV imports To me these factories in Mexico, would mean Mexican workers making those EV cars... instead

  4.  @longyang6319  two Chinese American dudes working on AI in the USA having a very interesting conversation and all I can think about is this below 😆 👇 Additionally, among top-tier AI researchers working at U.S. institutions, 38% have China as their country of origin, compared with 37% from the U.S. CNBC

  6.  @laichuonkui69  And when controlling for the fact that Chinese manufacturing wages were significantly lower than U.S. wages, in 2021, China had 12 times the rate of robot use in manufacturing than did the United States. The reason for this was not market forces, but rather government policy.Mar 11, 2024 ITIF

  8. China is the world’s largest gold producer and has been buying huge quantities of the precious metal for years, yet official figures for its gold reserves remain absurdly low. What is the true amount of its gold reserves? And why so much secrecy? As the world’s second-largest economy, the People’s Republic of China has enormous foreign exchange reserves. Currently, it is the country with the world’s largest gold and cash reserves – if we add the two variables together – but the real figure of its gold reserves is a mystery that worries other global players. 11onze

  11. Chinese produce more than they consume The Americans consume more than they produce That has been the case for decades upon decades America today? just wants to call it overproduction The average Chinese spends… just not to the point they are broke and in debt like the average American I remember 2 decades ago the argument was the Chinese were not spending enough to save the world economy I argued they just have to spend enough to save their own economy 👇 Project Syndicate The value of global China China faces important questions about whether and to what extent it should continue to pursue opening up its economy to the rest of the world, write Jonathan Woetzel and Jeongmin Seong in Project Syndicate. In any case, China and the world face important questions about the trajectory of their mutual engagement. At stake, according to our simulation, may be some $22-37 trillion in economic value – or 15-26% of world GDP – by 2040. McKinsey

  12.  @ZhenYae  yes Chinese Diaspora in SE Asia were the biggest FDI investors into China during its 3 decade double digit growth years Now they serve as a bridge for Chinese FDI/loans back into SE Asia these days 👇 Amid the shifting dynamics of changing regimes in recent centuries, Chinese migrants spread across the region to escape poverty or seek opportunity – becoming the 50 million “huaren” or “overseas Chinese,” those who are of Chinese ethnic descent but do not hold Chinese citizenship. Concentrated especially in Southeast Asia, where they account for more than three-quarters of the $369 billion in wealth held by Southeast Asian billionaires, their lives have become closely interlinked with the Chinese state and their economic power has made them a key target of Chinese Communist Power (CCP) soft power. However, with a complex history and an identity of their own, such ties are not as obvious as they may seem. The Diplomat

  13.  @verypleasantguy  thanks for your opinion these are the facts 👇 Beyond as bridges: The role of the Chinese voluntary associations in Chinese outward foreign direct investment in Southeast Asia Conclusion This study focuses on the key research question of how CVAs organised and promoted by ethnic Chinese in host countries play a role in Chinese MNEs' OFDI in Southeast Asia. We address this question by adopting qualitative and comparative approaches to analyse the intermediary role of ethnic Chinese and CVAs involved in the OFDI process of Chinese MNEs and how their actions and interactions influence MNEs' local embeddedness. First, from the perspective of ‘global–local’ interactions, we analyse the role of CVAs in promoting the globalisation and localisation of Chinese MNEs. On the one hand, Chinese MNEs can effectively obtain global resources and information through the global contact network formed by institutionalised links between CVAs and their close communications and interactions, such as the periodic global/regional association conferences. On the other hand, Chinese MNEs can successfully realise local embeddedness through CVAs' bidirectional facilitative capacity formed by their long-term cultivation in the locality. The essential role of CVAs serving as a ‘bridge’ that connects the host country and China has been emphasised, which promotes mutual understanding and Chinese MNEs' local embeddedness. Second, considering the different types of CVAs, we unravel their different roles in promoting/hindering Chinese MNEs' OFDI. Comparatively speaking, the government-cooperative/sponsored CVAs and the privately-organised CVAs have their own advantages and disadvantages in shaping Chinese OFDI, while the ‘new’ CVAs generally play a more significant role in the process of Chinese MNEs' OFDI. This paper has demonstrated how Chinese MNEs' OFDI can achieve a ‘win-win’ outcome through interaction with CVAs and ethnic Chinese by focusing on cooperation cases. Moreover, we highlight how recent changes in the leadership, economic orientation, and activities of CVAs point towards a trend of closer ties with China (Liu, 2023). onlinelibrarywiley

  15. Yes but polls show a growing amount of Americans are becoming hostile to green, clean, renewable. And maybe you win at home by putting up 100% tariffs But then if you try to export you think those countries won’t retaliate? During the trade war the USA and a China may have raised tariffs against each other. But China lowered its tariffs to most other countries

  16. Average Chinese national now eats more protein than an American: UN food agency The milestone was reached in 2021, according to United Nations data despite US predictions that it would destroy the planet 18 Jul, 2024 China has surpassed the US in the amount of daily dietary protein available to its population – an important indicator of a modern quality of life, and one that some commentators and politicians in the West thought would be impossible to achieve. According to the latest data from the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), China overtook the US in 2021, reaching a daily supply of 124.61 grams (4.39oz) of protein per capita SCMP

  17.  @wf645 iI think these guys are being China specific Biden has not changed much of the Trump rhetoric And frankly I would argue there is a few things that Americans can agree on Other than China, China , China is bad bad bad Just about the only disagreement is the argument from both sides, as to who has done more against China

  21. Why would you think the Chinese are looking to be trading in Gold? they are buying Gold not to trade… but to stockpile at this point in time Instead of buying US Sovereign Debt 👇 China’s Gold Reserves Unveiled: Investigating Claims of Secret Hoarding and the Alleged Discrepancy JANUARY 9, 2024 Based on these calculations, Frisby estimates that China has at around 33,000 tons of gold, with at least half being state-owned. That state-owned portion (16,500 tons) is double what the U.S. holds. If China admits to the U.S., “We got twice as much gold as you,’ that’s tantamount to a declaration of war,” according to Frisby. The yuan would become more valuable, gold would become more valuable, and China would become the leader of both of these assets. OxfordGoldGroup

  22. I remember the running joke back then was Vietnamese made had more Chinese content in it… than made in China These days 👇 Vietnam posts record 2022 trade surplus with U.S. as China deficit rises * Vietnam's trade surplus with the United States widened to $94.9 billion last year, the highest level on record, * Meanwhile, a trade deficit with China, which is the largest supplier of materials and equipment to Vietnam's labour-intensive manufacturing sector, widened to a record $60.2 billion in 2022 from $54.0 billion a year earlier, zawya

  27.  @astroganov  the last few Quantitative Easing(s)/printing of money Where the US FED bought the newly issued US Sovereign debt instruments from the US Treasury… That ended up on the US FED balance sheet Which the FEDs bright idea was to allow up to 50 to 60 billion of that (Treasury and Agency debt it soaped up during the first QE… to slowly mature off its books each month) and for the US Treasury to issue new corresponding debt for the public to buy (the US people are the biggest buyers of that debt directly/indirectly) This lasted for 2 years and the FED managed to dump about 600 to 700 billion in debt But then that selling helped to freeze up the repo market and the US FED had to come in and do a QE 2.0 we never really heard about …. And buy back that debt it dumped and even more (over 4 trillion dollars in total) To be fair… Covid also came along so that affected how much they had to buy in the end But before Covid even showed up that number was over 1 trillion dollars

  28. In 2018 when trump started the trade vvar America wasn’t projected to have rare earth refining ability until 2022 (they finally got that ability last year in 2023) So the Chinese had a trade wea pon that had a finite shelf life of 4 years (at the time) Yet the Chinese didn’t use it Where they were lowering tariffs to most other countries instead

  29.  @Emphasis213  when our currency is 8 times theirs and they have the supply chains The Chinese can make up for inefficiency with Purchasing Power Parity. While making our supply chains very inefficient Some people just don’t see it or have a narrow minded view of things Surprising it’s sometimes it’s the engineer themselves But it makes sense they usually have a initial set way of seeing things and doing things before they deviate away from it

  30.  @Emphasis213  plus China holds a 50% share of the worlds semiconductor market. They are the consumers they call the shots And more importantly the Chinese Government could call the shots If they had the zero-sum game mentality National Security concerns, risk, etc Over Capacity etc etc

  36. There are plenty of YouTubers who have their obligatory what I don't like about China video. Go scroll the comments below them. Rarely would you see people telling the person to leave China if they don't like it... Like you would see in the comment section of any western Country Being an expat myself who travelled the world. Most Western expats I find did complain about the country they are living in when you have a beer with some expat buddies Where I would argue what baseline are you using to compare the country you live in? Obviously if you are comparing your home country to the country you live in So if everything is better or most things are better in your home country... Maybe it's time for you to go back to that home country. Those are the questions I asked myself. That is what I did He seems to dislike the way things are going in the USA these days more than he does China. I don't see him leaving anytime soon Do you live in America? Please share how you think more and more stores needing to lock up things like toothpaste..... is America going the right direction these days

  37. Actually if he is running out of video content, and hasn't put out a... what I don't like about China video blog He probably should... Infact a lot of these YouTubers are intentionally putting out negative China titles on their videos. To get more clicks from the anti China crowd 😂

  39.  @MASMIWA  I was speaking in general But yes the Americans don’t have the stomach for Rare Earth refining on a large commercial scale What they refine would be for their military America should have the ability to refine those rare earths as of last year But it does not seem like it’s at a large enough scale to support their military Definitely not at a rate where they are in a war and they have to keep up production without depleting their stocks
    2
  40.  @MASMIWA  we should research up what they are up to lately Last I checked they were suppose to have refining ability by 2022 But it came online 2023 Not sure if it was the ability to refine heavy rare earths or not

  41.  @sciagurrato1831  Australia I don’t have any info on their refining rare earths

  47. China has an 820 billion dollar trade surplus with the world the vast majority of that would be in USDs I think they are doing just fine with limiting their dollar/debt exposure 👇 China’s Gold Reserves Unveiled: Investigating Claims of Secret Hoarding and the Alleged Discrepancy JANUARY 9, 2024 Based on these calculations, Frisby estimates that China has at around 33,000 tons of gold, with at least half being state-owned.

  49.  @matthewgaddy3232 every country prints up money The difference is when people say printing up money What they really mean is the US Treasury issues new external Sovereign Debt Where the US FED buys that Sovereign debt and puts it on its balance sheet What people are really talking about is the Quantitative Easing the USA does
