  1.  @drumpfdon760  Chinas gdp growth is in large part declining working age. The working age population peaked in 2014 and since then gdp growth has been declining. It’s also seen reduction in growth due to moving into middle income, housing crisis, debt crisis, and COVID lockdowns. This year will be the 2nd year in 3 years to have gdp growth under 4%. Countries are decouping from China so they are missing out on a lot of business that could have offset some of the other factors. It’s 3 year gdp growth 2020-2022 will be 4.6% annual gdp growth, far lower than the 6-7% it had in 2017-2019 and far lower than the 10%+ from 2000-2010.

  2.  @drumpfdon760  and if AI was that great, Chinas growth wouldn’t be slowing down as much as it is now. And when AI, gets better, japan and South Korea and other countries with much higher labor rates and similar demographic issues will be more likely to maximize the use of AI. There is less incentives to use AI when you still have hundreds of millions of Chinese inland that are very poor and on par with Africa.

  3. Seems like the one with the more Scottish accent is English and the one with a more English accent is Scottish? Maybe Scottish Simon is from northern England where it’s a mix of English and Scottish accents

  4. This is why more and more nations are forming alliances. You have NATO expanding plus NATO allied countries that will likely be treated much like a NATO country. You have growing alliances in Asia/Ocean with Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Australia, New Zealand, India and to a lesser extend Philippines and Vietnam.

  5. That’s odd considering the plaza accord was 1985 and the late 80’s where the best economic growth period of Japan after the 60’s.

  7.  @Wafflehouse69.69  except Serbia committee horrible war crimes and a Gen-cide in Kosovo. Not exactly anything like you described about claiming someone’s backyard.

  8. That's why many firms already are moving out of China or have backup plans. Your going to see more and more western companies with footprints in China continue to look at other countries as options -- which is why many are turning to Vietnam, India and Mexico. Even Chinese companies are doing the same!! Many of them are opening up facilities elsewhere just in case there are sanctions or other economic penalties against China in the future.

  10.  @arcqian143  "We respect our partners " Funny guy. China is perhaps the least respected country. "Australia had been a trusted partner of China. China imports a large amount of resources from Australia and also brings significant investment to Australia." China is so terrible that even talking about investigating covid (which China lied about for a while) leads China to cut off most trade. Real bully. "now this Asutralian government appears to be de-escalating the conflict" Certainly not going to be the bully China that everyone hates. Why do you think all of China's neighbors to the east hate China? Vietnma, Taiwan, South Korea, Japan and even down to Australia and NZ??

  13.  @arcqian143  "Actually I answered," YT does remove comments but they still show up in the notifications of the person you sent it to. I didn't receive any such notification. "because they didn't want you to know the truth" Spoken like vvumao. YT has removed lots of my comments (and will probably do that to this) so I guess I am the one that is right?

  14.  @kylebritt1225  my guess is Arc Qian wasn't satire but work of vvumao

  15.  @arcqian143  "I'm just a patriot who wants to defend my own country, just like you." Except denying the facts, supporting a g8noc1de, and supporting oppression

  16.  @arcqian143  I am free to heavily criticize my govt where needed. -- I think Trump should be arrested and US gov does terrible job on addressing r@c1sm.

  17.  @arcqian143  ​ When 2/3 of mosques are destroyed or damaged in the past 5-7 years, you think it's nothing? When the Xinjiang police files describe they have orders to shoot anyone trying to escape the camps and describe torture, it means nothing? When a former police of Xinjiang confirms they round up massive number of innocent muslims and most are tortured -- a story also confirmed not only by the Xinjiang police files but mass number of Uyhgurs, it means nothing? When there is evidence of 380+ camps, it means nothing?

  19.  @inuwooddog3027  I totally believe you. And to prove you aren’t just trying to defend everything about China, you can certainly acknowledge the g8noc1de in Xinjiang, right?
    2
  20.  @inuwooddog3027  forget what you said? But you made an argument suggesting it is true that China has destroyed or damaged most mosques. Are you saying u lied about that?

  21. Vice News caught on video Chinas massive bribing operation tied to the leader of guayana. If Guyana is so easily corrupted, this tells me Guyana will just be another Venezuela- never turning the oil into big profits for the people.

  22.  @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

  23. Brought so much prosperity that they distant themselves from communism as much as possible — crony corrupt capitalism. It’s odd tos we them bring back the sickle and hammer

  24.  @kurosai006ichigo3  " i am aware Chinese currency is not high" And 20 years of China's growth, yet it hasn't moved much. Just 2.7% of currency reserves in the world, about half of the UK Pound Sterling and less than half of the JP Yen. 1/9 that of the Euro. >Nor was US currency high before they started globalizing Except the US was a big part in creating stable currency that can be easily traded. OP described exactly why people don't want to use the Yuan but you ignored it for some reason. If it's a free exchange rate, not easily bought/sold, and the See See Pee will punish people for the smallest infractions (see what they did to Australia and NZ), why would anyone use it unless they are bad and worried about being sanctioned.

  25.  @sjv9147s  there are many ways the US can punish Saudi Arabia. They can buy Chinese weapons but those are inferior. Money isn’t an issue for Saudi Arabia so this will hurt Saudi Arabia. The US can also politically isolate KSA. The security Saudi Arabia receives from the US can also be withheld. the KSA will take time to find new weapons and someone new to protect them. The only large concerns IMO is that Saudi Arabia helps offset irans influence in the region. That’s why US wouldn’t want to destroy the relationship. But hey, if Iran has a revolution and throws out the ayatollah, Saudi Arabia becomes even less useful for the US

  27.  @fra604  the guy is defending China in other comments — it’s a w8má0, hope you know that

  28.  @PacificSeaBass  Biden finish the border wall? How does that help you individually 8’ 2022 and why didn’t trump get it done? Deficit has increased and it increased tremendously under Trump. Trump was handed a hot economy in 2016 and why did he increase the deficit? Hot economy is when you are supposed to reduce deficits so you are prepared for an emergency like the pandemics

  30. Lol, so obvious. Slava Ukraini. You seem so worried for Russia that you want to make it appear as if it’s the rest the world that will suffer.

  31.  @Tom_Cruise_Missile  his other comments are more of the same — defending Russia and making things look worse for the west and Ukraine. Slava Ukraini

  32.  @slippingsnake  Under Put1n, no possibility of a breakaway happening. There is a non 0 but still very low possibility of happening anytime in the next 50-75yrs.

  33. China isn’t pragmatic — they just aren’t THAT d*mb. They already enabled the invasion with their support and have caused irreparable damage to their relationship with the west and their economy (the west is more motivated and in process of de-coupling from China) but helping out Russia as it sinks is just too much for them.

  34.  @TheGoldenEagle03  Also funny you complain about 'trust worthiness" when in other comments you defend RUS and China. almost as if Raffy is only here to defend bad.

  35. What’s their way out of this? They will have to find a new tax revenue generator but that will end up slowing economic growth so best case is they don’t collapse but just see very normal growth going forward like 2-3% gdp growth rather than 5% originally forecast for 2022-2030.

  36.  @jayl878  that probably won’t be enough but I suspect that’s what it will start with. Higher Taxes on higher end goods and higher taxes on the wealthy and middle class. But ultimately they will need a higher sales taxes across the board

  38. Just a handful. But I imagine all the authoritarian leftist from AMLO to Maduro to the Cuban leader and maybe the new Colombian leftist president will defend Castillo. That’s why Latin America has problems — they defend these terrible authoritarian leaders.

  39.  @jeffs4483  you names like 1/5 of the LATAM countries not s majority. But it could become a majorly given the authoritarian leftist in LATAM.

  40. Why does every country on east and southeast of asia heavily dislike China? You mention US doesn’t have control — South Korea, Japan and Taiwan are extremely close Allies of the US and Vietnam is an ally as well. All of them hate the Chi govt. So why do they all hate the PRC and why do they all like the US?

  41. to prove Victor Chans purpose is to defend PRC, can you acknowledge there is a gén -ide in Xinjian?

  43.  @florianmaier104  "worked for millenia"? Uh, so did non-stop war and the occasional plague that killed 25% of the population. Just because something worked the way it did in the past doesn't mean its advantages to do that today.

  44.  Prehistoric Postmodernist  the Bolivia coup? The temp president held new elections. Venezuela? So you do support dictatorships like Maduro? No wonder you defend Castillo

  45.  Prehistoric Postmodernist  but US wasn’t behind Venezuela or Bolivia. And if you really think the US was the one doing the “coup” (can it be a coup to get someone removed from office that isn’t the rightful leader?), you are suggesting the CIA is horribly bad it’s job so you should never fear the cia and they will never be successful.

  48.  @T00Busy113  free Xinjiang! Free Tibet! Free west Taiwan from the PRC! It’s easy to Notice you think the bully China is the good guy and that no one should form alliances to stop the bullying

  49.  @T00Busy113  “a few countries trying to maintain hegemony”. So, does your contract allow you to acknowledge the g8noc1de in Xinjiang? You’re saying china is the good guy here so let’s see if are able to criticize the horrible things China is doing

  50.  @spencervance8484  Harald Tan is calling china the good guy and calling the the bad guys all those countries trying to defend themselves from Chinese aggression. He won’t even acknowledge what’s going on in Xinjiang
