Moralizing through whataboutism does not logically follow in disproving the China threat narrative, it is axiomatic that what matters is what they are doing to us, not what we are doing to them from that vantage. Rather, I'd say it spe

Financial Services are far more risk averse first than they are cost cutting, they literally have risk departments. If you'd spent anytime working at one for swe you won't have access to popular open source frameworks, let alone C

Pointing to a small town as opposed to superpowers of hundreds of millions is a bad comparison, they are fundamentally different beasts. Whether postmodernism is coherent by itself dosen't mean much either in its potency to deconstruct

Invasion is one thing, unfavorable trade deals, deindustrialization, and political coercion is more realistic outcome yet all the more undesirable. Imperialism after all often didn't spread spread by outright conquest.

Strong Sapir-Whorf is debunked, and we do practically need a lingua franca that English does do okay at so why put in all the effort to change it now?

I feel that the majority in this thread are acting less in Europe's interests than effectively saying "fuck you" to Germany here for acting against China's interests. Or perhaps they're reaching as quickly as possib

Railway privatization is resolved in East Asia where they are also major real estate developers that plop luxury malls and apartments ontop stations. See the HK MTR as an example, which is far better than the average European subsidized met

The USA is a services based country, not manufacturing. Call me when Big Finance, Big Law, Consulting and Big Tech are threatened. Right they're doing quite splendid with cash rich piles.

Shanghai's carbon per capita is 11.4. It's not really that different if you equalize the wealth per capita.
