Yes, China is winning, but at what cost?
Leaving the stupid The Economist-list memes aside, the West has put itself all by itself in this position, for too long it had thought that it could still rule the world based on the services industries and on the financialization of the world economy. It seems like they bet wrong.

- paganel 2y agoSomething like this [1]. I've singled out The Economist because I used to read them until not that long ago so that I can confirm first-hand that they also use that rhetoric (but can't be bothered to look for an online source right now). Later edit: A X [2] post pointing to an Economist article [3] that does just that, but, as I said, the examples are too numerous, just purchase a Economist issue and go through their China section, you'll see it right there [1] https://x.com/slipknothooh/status/1433496026795630598 https://x.com/slipknothooh/status/1433496026795630598 [2] https://x.com/Liberation_Blk/status/1690911685312126976 https://x.com/Liberation_Blk/status/1690911685312126976 [3] https://www.economist.com/podcasts/2023/08/08/what-does-xi-jinpings-fixation-on-food-security-mean-for-chinas-countryside https://www.economist.com/podcasts/2023/08/08/what-does-xi-j...
