Man they got to Asmongold, what does the CIA has on his dirty ass. They gave a big warning shot with that 2 week twitch ban, now he's reacting to ChinaObserver channel....o_O
That ChinaObserver channel sometimes comes into my feed. I am curious, where do they get all those interviews from? Are they paid actors or is it just a case of in a country of 1.4bn and 60m companies there will always be the unlucky cases of failures?

It shouldn't be so hard to find tons of footage of people that got struct by untimely outside factors. And then blaming the government is an excellent coping mechanism. You can find tons of it on western social media, like during the rednote gate at the start of this year.

But i wouldn't be surprised if they used Mainland liberals, Taiwanese and Hongkong actors as well.

He has always been like that, he is not really about being informed or not, he reacts to videos and the info presented and many of his viewer recommended the channel, if purely based on the info presented in the video he isn’t wrong per se.

Plus the western media is constantly negative about China and because he is anti-woke so a lot of his subs are also either Trump supporters or at least US no.1 types, so it’s not really surprising. But if presented with info to the contrary he would have a fairer view.

There are plenty of channels like ChinaObserver, I used to watch it too for a counter point but then noticed inconsistencies, they don’t care about facts or nuances only that the info they find support their views or narratives.

Also notice how most of the video about closures are garment factories, frankly they haven’t been doing well for long time now. It’s one of those industries where the cost of heavy automation don’t really make sense, unless you are building a brand and not OEM-ing, due to low margins and with increasing wages, China hasn’t been a great place for garment since before the pandemic.

Honestly, I don’t think they need to find actors, the closures or business interruptions in many cases are probably real, the issue is that the OEM factories were probably targeting specific clients with big orders and when that stops, it’s obvious what would happen.

This is most likely just some factories that didn’t diversify their clientele. Also with the sheer number of factories in China there is no way some wouldn’t close because of these disruptions. Plus these channels have a habit of finding old videos and claim them to be current. It has happen before.

Agreed. I previously made the point that there will always be businesses and individuals that aren't attuned/aligned to the geopolitics/geo-economics because most of these hardworking folks attention are on their bottom line and how to provide adequately for their respective families.

We must also realize that although the percentage of exports to the U.S. relative to the overall Chinese economy may have lessened there will be a considerable amount of Chinese folks that will be affected.

Yea, it’s one of those unavoidable problems. I don’t even think its about attuning/aligning with geo-politics. I have some related experience, so although anecdotal, this is my 2 cents, there are a whole host of reasons, but to me it comes down to 2 main reasons opportunity and capacity.

Opportunity, being whether you get to meet the right client, you can have the best production line, people, skill etc but if you don’t meet the right person at the right time, you simply wouldn’t have the opportunity to get the contract/order.

Then comes capacity, even when you meet the right client, do you have the capacity to fulfill the order at required. If you have a contract in place or a long term client and don’t have the excess capacity then well tough sh*t. It’s just balancing and sometime there is not much you can do, unless you have the resources to expand but then that also presents other problems.
