Goddamn... in my experience, the bills are enormous, but... they're not meant to be paid??? My son got the flu and almost died when he was just 10 days old. The hospital bill to save him was over $400K. Insurance covered everything except the last $9K out of pocket... then the hospital sent us a letter that we were off the hook for the last $9K. We didn't even request it; we were ready to pay.

Sorry to hear that. Must have been a horrible experience. It is also baffling to read for a non-American. Those numbers are absurd and impossible to justify, considering the same is done in other countries for prices that are literally orders of magnitude lower. A thing with these bills is somebody has to pay them. The insurgence extracts them from their own customers or the state. Almost one fifth of the US economy is healthcare spending. What's even more baffling is Americans do not get much for this:
1- Lifespan? The lowest in the developed world and is being passed by some developing countries.
2- Research? They do lead here but not to the level you would expect. A lot of the said research is separately funded by the state. And Trump cut that recently.
3- Healthcare personnel salaries? Not that high with the exception of doctors. And the funniest thing is the US is notorious for employing a low number of doctors and having nurses do tasks that are left to doctors in other countries.

Time for cushy jobs are over. Society needs more electricians, plumbers, waste disposal workers, and definitely more elder care nurses for boomers.

China's always had plenty of jobs, its just not ones graduates want to do, but when necessity calls what choice do they have?

I see it all the time here in California also, white collar workers pivoting to learning a trade or joining the post office.

WTF is this? Japan's lost decade is gonna be over? Because it's gonna take on more debt?

I think the Democrats in the US are gleeful that Japan is being enthusiastically led by Sanae Takaichi. So they are deluding themselves that Japan is somehow rising again to take on China for them. This is the same type of delusions that Ukraine could defeat Russia for them.

Apparently Japanese and Taiwanese buy Unitree G1s and tell their people that they were their inventions. I guess there will be those that are dumb enough to believe it despite how they come from technical societies. The West will push this because they want there to be this chaos over inventions and innovations that aren’t Western in order to save the idea of white supremacy. It’s like gunpowder. Westerners are liberally open to all the theories of gunpowder’s origins because it didn’t come from them and especially because they don’t want Chinese to get credit.

What a surprise: the main purpose of IMF is not to help nations to develop. Instead, it's to enhance Western dominance.

LMAO: the Economist has never heard of the phrase "don't run before you can walk" obviously.

It should be evident by now that the World Bank and IMF exist to maintain white western supremacy, China poses the only viable alternative, for what even is BRICS without Russia and China?
