  1.  @J_X999  that AI would be available for the world too. So China would still decline relative to other economies

  2.  @ChinaSongsCollection  just saw your other comments here — you are vvumao, right? No way will you acknowledge the horrible Things in Xinjiang — you are defending Chinas horrible wolf warrior diplomacy! The tactic they used to respond to any criticism about COVID and Xinjiang.

  3.  @J_X999  but the AI would be available for much of the world. You don’t think Japan or South Korea with even more expensive labor would be able to use AI? As for hypersonic missiles, japan and South Korea don’t invest in that because it doesn’t make them any money. Russia has weapons many rich countries don’t have but that doesn’t mean Russia is doing better economically (in fact they are poor, on par with Mexico or Colombia). Chinas gdp this year will under 4%. That will be 2nd time in 3 years they are under 4%.

  4.  @J_X999  Japan with super expensive labor and low productivity as you claim isn’t using AI? Wow, it’s almost as if the perfect nation for AI isn’t using AI then it’s not the solution you claim. But when it does become a viable solution, AI would be used by Japan even more than China because Japan has much higher labor costs. And Chinas economic growth is slowing and will be under 4% for the 2nd time in 3 years — I guess AI doesn’t work that well.

  5.  @Superpooper-2020  I do beleive kashmIr should be free. And also Tibet, Xinjiang Hong Kong, and West Taiwan (PRC). Why do you support g8nocide in Xinjiang?

  6.  @J_X999  “given japans track record”. What does that mean? There has never been AI that’s been useful so what track record are you talking about? And what labor productively rate are you talking about? How are you measuring it? I feel like you are making stuff up about japan

  7.  @J_X999  Japan’s growth stagnated because their work force began to shrink in the 90’s. It wasn’t because their labor became unproductive— it was mostly declining workforce. It’s working age population is down 14% from its peak in 1995!
    1
  8.  @J_X999  Japan has seen a 14% decline of its working age population since 1995 so you can bet demographics is the leading factor for Japan’s stagnation. It also ranks number 21 in the world in per capita productivity, ahead of Singapore, Hong Kong, Taiwan and South Korea. At 21 it can improve but it’s not as bad as you say and you are incorrect to suggest demographics isn’t the biggest issue

  9.  @J_X999  also, many of comments also don’t show up. YT does that often

  10.  @drumpfdon760  do I see a decline in China exports? Well, people have been spending far more on goods since the pandemic started but China is expected to see GDP growth under 4% for the 2nd time this year in 3 years so yeah — there is some decouping. Many companies are moving some of their operations to Vietnam, India, Bangladesh and Mexico. China’s gdp annual growth is now becoming normal — under 4% will be the norm. They won’t make high income country ever at this pace — unlike their neighbors South Korea, Japan, and Taiwan who hit high income years ago before their growth came down to normal

  11.  @drumpfdon760  japan stagnated in the 90’s because their working age population has shrank 14% since it peaked in 1995. Hey vvumao, are you allowed to say what’s going on in Xinjiang
    1
  12.  @drumpfdon760  fun fact, the plaza across was actually the 80’s and had little impact on japan. It was japans 14% decline of working age population. Also, japan was manipulating their currency which lead to the plaza accords
    1
  13.  @drumpfdon760  so you ignore the 14% decline in working age population? Plaza affords where in 1985. Between 1987-1990, those 4 years each had 4.7% to 6.8% gdp growth. No year between 1980 and 1984 had a higher year of growth than any single year 1987-1990. So late 80’s had considerably bigger growth than early 80’s in Japan. Why won’t you accept these facts and why won’t you accept there is a g8noc1de in Xinjiang?
    1
  14.  @drumpfdon760  why can’t you acknowledge the g8noc1de in Xinjiang? Contract won’t allow it?
    1
  15.  @drumpfdon760  I literally gave you the gdp growth before and after the plaza and after the plaza accord, it had its best growth in years. Are you saying japan and the world bank are wrong about the gdp growth of that period?

  16.  @drumpfdon760  free Xinjiang! Free Tibet! Free Hong Kong! Free west Taiwan from the PRC!

  17.  @drumpfdon760  long term impact? So it took a decade to impact — coincidence it was when the demographic issue happens. Do you also know what happens when population declines? Housing prices drop and crash.

  18.  @drumpfdon760  why can’t you admit what China is doing in Xinjiang?
    1
  19.  @drumpfdon760  yeah, early 90’s, and Working population growth was zero and started declining shortly afterwards. Nothing defends your argument that 1985 plaza accord led to shrinking economy 6-7 years later when in those 6 years it was among the highest growth Japan had since the 60’s. Why can’t you admit what’s going on in Xinjiang? Are u on a contract?

  20.  @Superpooper-2020  india only wishes they can do g8noc1de as good as China does in Xinjiang.
    1
  21.  @drumpfdon760  wait, you are contractually unable to admit the g8noc1de in Xinjiang l?
    1
  22.  @drumpfdon760  and you say the plaza accord was one of the main factors for the decline of japans economy even though for the 6 years after the accords, japan had their best economic growth since the 60’s? Japans economic growth in each of final 4 years of the 80’s (87-90) was higher than every year between 1980-1984. In fact,all 4 years 87-90 were higher than all but two years between 2 of the 11 years 1974-1984.
    1
  23.  @drumpfdon760  another way to put it, between 1974-1990, 1987-1990 had 4 of the top 6 years.
    1
  24.  @drumpfdon760  you are also forgetting that Japan was manipulating its currency which is unfair trade practice which lead to the plaza accords
    1
  25.  @drumpfdon760  there is a study that calls out the typical conspiracy you vvumaos use on this topic: - One legacy of the Plaza is a sort of conspiracy theory that has continued to circulate widely in Asia. The theory is that the United States deliberately sabotaged the Japanese economy. The most common version is that the effect came via endaka, the strong yen, which priced Japanese manufacturing out of world markets.33 The idea is that the US successfully used this weapon against Japan at the Plaza in 1985, then against Korea in 1988-89, and against China in the years since 2004. - In some ways the suspicion is understandable, given the long-time pattern of pressure from the US Treasury on Asian countries to appreciate their currencies. It is true that the yen appreciated sharply against the dollar after the Plaza, more than did the European currencies. - It is also true that Japan’s GDP has mostly stagnated since 1990, after decades of strong growth. But the timing is not quite right for the conspiracy theory. In between the 1985-86 appreciation of the yen and the Japanese recessions of the 1990s came the bubble years 1987- 89, when exchange rate policy was no longer working to push the yen up, but rather to support the dollar. A variant of the conspiracy theory is that Japanese purchases of dollars during the bubble years led to excessive money growth and thereby to the soaring prices of equities and real estate in Japan. The bursting of that bubble then led to the Japanese recession. But this is virtually the opposite of the theory that the Plaza did it: buying dollars is the opposite of selling dollars.

  26.  @drumpfdon760  I literally gave you quotes for research saying the plaza accord didn’t cause japans economy to stagnate for 30 years and I gave you the facts that the 6 years after the plaza accord japan had its best growth since the 60’s but you just ignored it? In addition, you bring up France and Germany? Germany would have some strong growth as well in late 80’s and early 90’s peaking at 5.26% and 5.11% in 1990 and 1991, it’s highest 2 yrs of growth in decades. Even more proof the plaza accord didn’t cause what you say. Oh, and France also had tremendous growth in late 80’s, peaking at 4.7% in 1988 which is the biggest growth year since 1974. Second biggest growth year for France since 1974??? 1989.
    1
  27.  @drumpfdon760  so basically the research says plaza accords didn’t cause japans downfall, Japan saw it’s best growth after the 60’s was 87-90…and Germany and France also had their best growth years in the few years after the plaza accord. Almost seems like they all benefited from the plaza accords. In comparison, the US saw smaller growth in the late 80’s than japan Germany and France and US peaked in late 90’s
    1
  28.  @drumpfdon760  I’m confused why you ask 1980-2000 Japan? From 1970-2022, the best growth was 1987-1990. Mid and late 80’s was also best years for Germany and France over the past 40 years. You said plaza accords destroyed those countries yet they all had their best economic growth shortly after the plaza accords. Only Japan would later have issues because their working population began to decline. Same will happen to China. China bad

  29.  @drumpfdon760  free Xinjiang! Free Tibet! Free west Taiwan from PRC!

  30.  @drumpfdon760  it’s funny that you do now accept that all 3 countries had their best growth in the years after the plaza accords but you now twist it and say “well, it was all downhill after that!” What’s great way to make something good look bad. I guess China joining the wto which lead to 10%+ growth 2000-2010 was horrible because it’s growth has declined since then!!

  31.  @drumpfdon760  “China deliberately slowing down their economic growth to rebalance”. Wow, that sounds like it’s literally from the CCP mouth. This year will be the 2nd time in 3 years their economic growth will under 4%! They are slowly becoming normal growth before they even close to a high income nation! South Korea and Japan made it to high income, China won’t!

  32.  @drumpfdon760  oh man, do you really believe what you just typed or did you Type it because your paid to do so? Suggesting China is actually in par with South Korea or Taiwan on per capita? I’ve traveled through China and it’s extremely poor once you leave the city and the “villages” (they are cities but under 1 million) in the inland of China are poor. 3 years ago I got my shoes cleaned on the street of a downtown in a village for about $1 USD. You won’t see that in South Korea or Taiwan.

  33.  @vchanpe1  where did you hear that? In China? Japans national debt was consistent and relatively low mid 80’s to 90’s. It didn’t spike until after their economy stagnated and I’m guessing it spiked in an attempt to stimulate japans economy
    1
  34.  @vchanpe1  seriously, where did you hear the debt is the primary reason for japans stagnation? CGTN that you subscribe to?
    1
  35.  @vchanpe1  common sense? So not true given the spike in debt didn’t happen until after they started stagnanting.

  36.  @vchanpe1  yes, I took Econ 101 and 102. I understand everything but it seems you made it up to defend your precious China

  37.  @vchanpe1  to prove Victor Chans purpose is to defend PRC, can you acknowledge there is a gén -cide in Xinjiang?

  38.  @marcoaorelio6409  latest research shows it may have already peaked and China is hiding it.

  39.  @johnrock7255  I agree, the US should have let Japan destroy China. The world would be much better today.

  43. Detroit metro hasn’t grown as much a other metros over the decades. It’s grown only 10% since 1960. In comparison, Chicago metro grew around 50% in that time

  44.  @vyom7387  the Mughals mostly did have it unified but for a short time. They quickly lost the South where a little bit wasn’t conquered. When the Brits came, Mughals had already lost most of their lands. I guess it was culturally United but so many languages and so many religions that I don’t know how united culturally it was

  48.  @zainkhalil21  handed all the Arab countries to iran? But many Arab countries are aligned with the US and against Iran.

  49.  @zainkhalil21  you’re confusing me in that you say US has no Arab Allies then now argue they do but those allies are weak? Which is it?

  50.  @zainkhalil21  hey, so does the US have Arab Allies or does it not? You don’t even care to tell the truth
