"Just be nicer when someone threatens to punch you in the mouth"
The structure of the Chinese economy is very different from ours. It's not that their trade policy "leverages producing high quality goods cheaply", as if there's something magic about the dirt in Shenzhen. More that they were able to play a very long game, and take advantage of continual missteps in industrial policy that started somewhere back in the 1990s. They have not won this game yet.

- remarkEon 1y agoYou’re right I forgot that PRC has no agency in their long term geopolitical activities, is always responsible and honest about what they’re doing, and anything bad happening is simply a result of the United States’ jingoism. “China good, America bad evil empire”. We get it man.
