  1. It can be like that. I've been to HK this summer. Went to see my mother. There are pockets of depressed areas. So basically they don't do what the Japanese does which is to knock down the same place or the same areas to regenerate. They often like ants or nomads and to find new plots to build on. Just to tick the boxes. So now they are so efficient at doing this that there are more buildings than people. More housing than food. And lots of people cannot live a Maslow hierarchy life?? Also.. they don't do good deals. As in they don't sign good contracts between each other etc. So therefore... this creates a distorted situation ?.... like.. one of my old local shipping mall has been destroyed via mainland financing. It is illegal accounting. But nobody stopped them. It went through. So now... people are basically selling and buying like 6th cycle goods. I.e. Goods that has been used and resold. Basically. Oh yeh.... at least in the UK... if we say that we need to sell second hand goods we say this ?

  2. ​ @brittalbach416 : They have no market control mechanism and the mechanism in place is only at the central government. Then... people also do not understand the controlled market to the absolute free market. Oh.. they also abuse their tech sector as well. Which they call new media. Lol. I can go on all day... their social media basically collapsed other competitors. They did have regional courts that they could use to fight back market dominance. Like a mediator. But that seems to be gone... so basically they shifted and abused their own markets. Without realising.

  3. We.. even EU goods are Chinese goods. Lol. But one thing though. If you buy from the EU. The proper calculation will take place etc.

  4. They are probably an influencer.. don't under estimate such people. Or some sort of scams. Most celebrities are. Brand endorsements etc. This is why it sends the other kids inside China crazy. Lol. But they haven't trigged yet.
