Few types of quotations could better convince me that their author is not worth listening to on anything related to China. Hilarious.

- allemagne 5y agoI suppose the way I'd put it is that the author might as well have solemnly said that the Chinese word for "crisis" is composed of the characters "danger" plus "opportunity", therefore China is inherently better suited to meet the Evergrande crisis than America was for their financial crisis. The fact that this was expected to be taken seriously, and then seemingly was by being upvoted to the front of Hacker News is what's funny.
