  1. I'd disagree... people have options for phones, they don't have options for oil. Another thing is peoples lives depend on access to cheap energy, the same is not true for an iphone. Apple is also only a single company... this is price fixing by numerous bodies/countries

  2. Moody's actually was not wrong with the data they were given in 2008. It was the banks that gave them bad data. Nice try to be a smartguy though. Funny too, I bet you were not saying that when they downgraded the US. Were they so political then?

  5.  @pausereflect5911  The way you guys all type does not seem authentic. All of this wreaks of WuMao or bot account nonsense. No matter how hard yo guys try to make people think China = good and US = bad guy - it's not gonna do much... because the facts on the ground still stink

  6.  @jetli740  ​ Its just weird how these videos by CNBC international get zero attention, and all of a sudden you guys are all over this like flies on hot shit when its about something important to Beijing. Replying back quickly in rapid fire manner to me because what I say isn't pro China. You aren't gonna be changing anybody's mind with your silly propaganda campaign

  7.  @slappyfun So can countries like Italy possibly be changing their own minds?
    1
  8.  @slappyfun  Yeah but there is a problem whenever any country does anything that China doesn't like, the automatic default is to revert to "US puppet masters!" as if nobody can make any decisions for themselves, and its always the US intervening. Maybe, just maybe, Italy didn't like the outcome of the deal and Italy itself decided it wanted to leave. The numbers in trade data support that

  9.  @apt62  China would be nowhere without the US helping it when it was underdeveloped. China is the King of playing dirty, ask it's neighbors in Asia

  10.  @suckmemore  Maybe only in your media-bubble and online circles. Mainstream media is called "mainstream" for a reason - it's the biggest and most viewed news media around the world.

  11.  @alexlazar4738  food, energy, and security ain't free. And they are much harder to come by in a country with contracting GDP... so to downplay it as if it doesn't matter - is wrong and disingenuous because I'm sure this person knows that

  12.  @DP-rr9kp  Oh yes, I am quite aware of what GDP is. Germany is probably the hardest hit and still forecasted to end the year with positive GDP growth. Cheap gas helped but no you cannot just give all of the credit to that... ridiculous. The Germans have been quite innovative and efficient in their manufacturing...and gas does not create that. Their biggest mistake was putting so many of their eggs in one basket and snubbing nuclear. They're still snubbing nuclear and want invest invest in solar and wind - in a country that is neither sunny nor windy. So yes, I am quite aware of the situation

  13.  @DP-rr9kp  I know they're a food and energy exporter....and they still got wrecked by sanctions and businesses pulling out. What does that tell you? It's not simply about producing food and energy... Russians still need money to buy shit. And I applaud Europe for what they did. They stood on their values, even if it meant short-term pain. Clearly Russia didn't anticipate they would be strong enough or willing enough to do this... but they were

  14.  @DP-rr9kp  Lol ok so now you're pulling from any corner of history to defend your point huh? The people who started those wars are long dead, even their kids are dead. The world was a much different place then... What Putin is doing is now. In the modern world with modern rules. What bad people did a long time ago does not justify the bad things Putin is doing today.
    1
  15.  @DP-rr9kp  So let me ask you a question - how is that relevant to talking about Russia? How, in your mind, does pointing out other bad things people have done - matter to what Russia is doing now? It's like a child's argument when they do something wrong - they point to something else another kid did
    1
  16.  @DP-rr9kp  No, you were talking about GDP and then switched into "what-about-ism" by trying to point to bad things done by other countries in the past, as if it had some value or justification to what Russia is doing now. It does not... two things can be wrong at the same time, and one bad thing does not justify another.

  17. Ofcooooourse there is tons of anti west comments here. Russian bots are all over this..

  18. economics would disagree with you. The country that has a trade-surplus is much more exposed in a trade conflict

  19. Hmmm I would not be so sure of that... and why would that be all you "need to know" ? There is more to America than big corporations.... If you believe there is not, I think that is the same fallacy that Beijing is making

  20. Note what she said about the lack of support for households - this is not new. While the government may claim to want to transition to a consumer-based economy, they also do little to support said consumers. You can't have your cake and eat it too... if you truly want a consumer-based economy - you need to start actually supporting consumers, and not just the rich, big business, state owned enterprises, and government officials

  26. Hmm this gentleman is painting things in a bit of a positive light for China and negative for Japan. In regards to China - much of the rural community is older and full of men.. the young people mostly migrate the already urbanized areas.. hence why the birthrate is so low - most of the young are already urbanized. In addition, the rural population doesn't have the education or resources for urbanization to actually be a productive investment...it would yield a negative ROI. You only need to ask yourself why they haven't been doing this for the past 10 years (urbanizing the rural areas) if it was such a clear option. The reason you aren't seeing stimulus as in 2008 and 2015 is because their debt to GDP ratio is 2.5x... to put it mildy - they don't have the debt capacity to do so, and don't have many avenues where it would produce a positive ROI (since they insist on supply-side stimulus instead of demand-side). In regards to Japan - what he seems to pain as a negative of Japan already being urbanized, many would say that Japan was already wealthy when their bubble popped and didn't have negative population growth until 20 years later. China is much less developed, and much older than Japan was at this stage. Japan got rich before it got old, China will get old before it gets rich...is another way to look at the points the man made.

  30.  @gliu1431  Snowden leaked confidential government information - this is illegal. Assange, like snowden, leaked a ton of confidential info. Do not compare this to China, where you cannot even fully express yourself on social medial or wechat. You can even get in trouble for expressing yourself on foreign social media if you out of the country. Stop it

  31.  @robertwang7825  Yeah so why are you mentioning double digit growth lol.. that was 15 years ago. So many of those are examples of vulnerabilities in a trade war. Most of those industries, while also having a domestic market, heavily rely on exporting.

  34. The data she's using is from the official data from the Chinese government. When will the rest of the world wake up and stop taking their data as accurate? Ofcooooourse they are gonna say it's not a big deal, and understate the amount for which the mortgages affect the banks

  35. I love that US production punches a hole in their price fixing BS. They hate it, but the world shouldn't suffer at the hands of a global oil cartel

  36. Yeah but these guys (investment companies) were so late to downgrade China...waiting until it's painfully evident they won't meet the previous growth targets they set. Problem is these guys are heavily invested in China and so they have to justify their investments to their clients .Most independent analysis I saw were saying many months ago that China was going to be growing between 2-3% this year. It's always like this in the investment world: Firm A is heavily invested in Sector/Company B .... So they constantly fight or downplay the obvious to justify to their costumers and everybody else whey they are invested in Sector/Company B, despite the obvious being...well, obvious

That's literally all you need to know to see that argument is total BS. But most people are simple, uninformed, and eat it up because "groceries are more now than before.".

  43.  @Anonymint-vj7bt  Hmm I'm not sure if you know this, but thats exactly what Pettis thinks will happen. He thinks China will go through a long period of stagnation like Japan. Yes there is a saying in Chinese that translates to "eat bitter", and the Chinese are very good at this... but I would not agree that means nothing bad would happen. Look at the Covid protests that caused an abrupt ripping off the bandaid of zero covid

  46. ​ @Bunpicklesonionscheesepattybun  That is the Taft-Hartley Act, which you clearly know nothing about. That is not something Presidents can only use that to halt strikes that threaten national health or safety...but since this just started - it is not warranted yet. Its not the job of presidents to go around like a dictator shutting down strikes. These two parties should be given the opportunity to work it out themselves unless it becomes absolutely necessary for the President to intervene. Read a little first before commenting

  47.  @Bunpicklesonionscheesepattybun  What on earth are you talking about. The Taft-Hartley act does not apply here because it does not yet meet the standard of threatening national health or safety. I know you really badly want to blame this on Biden, because that's how your brain is wired - but your efforts are misplaced.

  49. It's always been so ironic that for a socialist/communist country that is called "The Peoples Republic" --- that so little is actually done to support the households and the people. Very few social programs to speak of and always putting government and business before actual households and workers. It's really just an authoritarian dictatorship that claims to be communist/socialist.
