China has far less farm land per capita compared to the US. Until the majority of excess farm labor are shifted off the land they do not need suppression to keep wages low. They just need to raise mobility, which they have done by building

Unless you believe America will buy less overall why would the new tariffs make that big a difference to China? Say America shifts dollar amount X to country A, what do you think country A does with the X dollars?

Most Chinese firms are also very short term focused as the Chinese would regularly lament. But somehow as a system they show persistence. A good example is the solar industry with many bankruptcies of the earlier giants, yet the baton gets

For example, Chinese coffee chains are beating Starbucks in China: "The pace of growth of domestic coffee chains has been impressive in the past year. Luckin’s performance has been especially strong. It has proved sceptics, who once sa

The word "middle class trap" only makes sense for China based on FX rate. Rich Chinese will continue to diversify if not outright emigrate while the middle class is trapped by necessity. Meanwhile the savings/investment rate

One needs to disaggregate data to get a full picture of what happens in China due to the rapid evolution of things. Forty years ago very few people went to college. It's a big bulge of population that are not going to upgrade their ski

You don't need LEOs to have text direct to cell. You can cover with a lot fewer satellites in higher otbits. China had this since last year, though through special protocols, not LTE, so you need new hardware. But the hardware fits int

If a candidate makes a totally false claim in the media should the election be invalid until every voter can prove that they have got the correct brain wash? Obviously not. There is no way to undo the damage from the false claim. So the res

Not everyone makes cars. Shrinking the global market shares of the ones that do will make the competitors' economy of scale worse as they withdraw from the ROW to hide behind the trade barriers.

I've never sensed any real desire for China to offshore to the Philippines, given its military alliance with the US. Maybe they dangle the prospect from time to time to try to pry the Philippines away. They have much friendlier targets

The problem is that they can't outsource manufacturing. It would be interesting to see how they will scale up.

You kept on talking about the median, yet the Chinese median age is now 40. What was China like in 1984？ And the population bulge happened in the 60s and 70s. In the 80s the one child policy was already in full swing. A typical 50 year old

Many existing housing stock are not up to the modern standard. Also much of the new housing is built on where land is cheap, not where people currently prefer to be. It will take time to see if people actually follow housing supply (unlike

By "dumb" I assume you meant brute-force. Search, as opposed to extrapolation, is what actually produces suprise or creative results, whether it happens in a person's head or on a computer. The issue is to produce the heurist

It depends on the kind of proofs you deal with. If you need to write math in general terms, you can't avoid dealing with at some level the equivalent of category theory and you will want natural access to dependent types. So Coq and Le

I would recommend HOL Light and Lean. HOL Light is no longer being developed. It's very self contained and the foundation is very simple to comprehend. It's great for learning ATP, not the least due to the fact that Harrison wrote

Whether it needs to be a schema of an infinite number of axioms depends on how big the sets can be. In higher order logic the quantifiers can range over more types of objects.
