  1. Which is all turning out to be even more unwise coming from the mafia-like CPC.

  2. China’s billion people are still mostly menial workers that are easily replaced by automation and offshoring. The average Japanese provides more creativity and value-added.

  3. That’s not how averages work. Japan’s branding and cultural impact globally runs circles around that of modern China, despite having only 1/10th of the people. The productive density just isn’t there out of the PRC 🎌🍣🍥💮🔰

  4. That China also has a huge security and military to fund, on top of the same issues of an aging workforce and real estate bubble?

  5. China’s economy is also #2, but way closer to that of Japan than to the US. Japan’s downward trend likewise seems to mirror that of the PRC.

  6. If Chinese history is an indicator, it will likely be a yet another violent transition out of the autocratic dynasty/government that got them there.

  7. ⁠It was a trade dispute that blunted Japan from potentially peaking its economy over that of the US. But it would still only peak and stagnate, as fundamentally they fail to get their workforce and culture past the 1980s.

  8. Argentina: First time?

  9. China has instead a system of deceit and corruption.

  10. The timing is wrong, but the trends and ultimate fate still hold.

  11. ​ @blairwich1935 All relying on foreign core inputs. And then all those "STEM majors" (often really just trade techs) only seem to make a global impact when working outside of China.

  12. Which just raises the operational costs for China as it tries to maintain internal political stability. The problem of a shrinking productive workforce, overreliance on inefficient state-funded champions still holds true, and destruction of family wealth through real estate speculation still holds true.

  13. That just means China has nobody to blame but itself when its own bubble deflates way more dramatically than the ruling Party can handle. We’re already seeing the start, with Beijing scrambling to put out images of “growth” and “strength” under vague details to get foreign funds flowing back in.

  14. Right, China's economic figures is likely much closer to Japan than to the US, and its headcount is likely closer to 1.0 billion instead... largely burdened by uneducated unproductive old rural men.

  15. Not “again”, just with an updated timeline. The trend and ultimate fate are still on track.

  16. +3~5% but all done through debt spending, not net production growth.

  17. Simple. Just stop giving our valuable foreign money and IP to them.

  18. The American "intervention" is to just reduce transactions with China, standing back and watching its tofu dreg political-economic structure collapse under its own weight.
