No. This is NOT how it works. China exports its domestic demand to the US, the US absorbs Chinese overcapacity. This initially began as China importing inefficient US industrial production in the 70s-90s, in exchange for US expectation of a

Ma seems to be saying to the United States: Continue running trade deficits with China, subsidizing China's ill-conceived domestic social and economic policies, or war. If this is what Ma is saying (it essentially is) then war with Chi

Reversion from hegemony to multi-polar competitor was historically inevitable for the United States. Just as inevitable is the slow pace with which American's identity politics catches up to America's reduced role. The amount of e

Absurdism. Shake your head and laugh at the absurd struggles we endure as humans and subvert the inevitability and absurdity of it by persisting anyway. Continuing to show up and push is the ultimate satirical act of defiance against the hu

This is a false narrative. Chinese debt impacts FX reserves, foreign direct investment, flow of trade and other factors tremendously. It's simply not true that China domestic debt can be isolated.

What I really like about your post is the reminder that virtual/cyber interactions are meaningful and supportive of the human condition for people whose ability to interact may be limited by age, geography, health, etc.

This is great AND its a poor substitute for tort reform that permits private companies and individuals to collect damages for hardware/software that is negligently or fraudulently insecure. Products liability lawyers are very effective

This is theatre. Were Congress to expand tort law to mandate standards and consequences similar to products liability regulations for other products, then the attack surface available to state and non-state actors would meaningfully shrink.
