I would have thought the pandemic would have woken people up a little bit. No you can’t just consider “owning stuff” and “moving assets around on spreadsheets” to be the same thing as international power. China isn’t confused about this at all and they don’t make idiot mistakes like letting hostile foreign powers own or control the core means of production needed for their population to prosper. Good luck with your fucking economic planning business when Taipei is being shelled from three directions.
