Chinese Economics Thread

[PanAsian]

Aside from already discussed economic issues of being overworked and lack availability for housing and too much competitiveness for jobs and educations, China should also examine a return to traditional values. You can love or hate religion but they tend to provide high fertility rates compared to more their secular peers. I'm not saying we should reject modernity but we should definitely encourage social values like respecting your elders and caring for the home and family especially when China is expected to be overtaken by demographic imbalance of older people.

For China it would be Confucian values (though I'll admit it can be somewhat backwards) but they do encourage marriage and kids which contrasts to Western liberalism that proclaims the self is above all else included the family and society. If every guy or girl excepts to marry a beauty or rich and successful then they will hold off relationships because they believe they can do better despite having unrealistic expectations of life and relationships. This is what happening to Japan, S. Korea and increasingly the West which are fixed with idols, waifus and influencers who are not representative of real life but sell a fantasy in which the masses become disconnected and weak-minded. As a Millennial, I'm certainly guilty of this but at the same time I recognize the corrosive effect it has on me and my social life too.

Not to continue this digression too much but don't forget Buddhism and Daoism, these together with Confucianism and folk beliefs are part of a whole mixture that can strengthen support for "traditional values", more specifically in this case valuing having your own - slightly larger - family and caring for your extended family and society.

That is true. Billionaires in the West are above the law, they can get away with almost every crime, they can subvert the political process, get any favorable bill passed & shit on the workers too (Amazon workers pissing in a bottle) .
US is a Corporatocracy & a heaven for Billionaires and that is undeniable.

You see the thing with Billionaires is that they possess every material desire in existence but due to human nature of being greedy, they develop into megalomaniacs and attempt to disregard the Rule of Law.
China lets Billionaires enjoy their wealth as long as they stick to their lane, the moment they attempt to subvert the law they get dealt with an iron fist (which is unseen in the West where law only works against the poor).

Chinese billionaires would've never been given the chance from the start and they would be eventually be suspect as being a spy for China.

They will be given all the chance if they disassociate themselves fully from the CPC. Like Guo Wengui did.

They're still Chinese. Look at what they were doing to the Zoom guy just because he was Chinese and then they stopped because a massive lawsuit of discrimination slapped on the US government and Silicon Valley competitors was looming just because he was Chinese, there was automatic guilt of being in bed with the CCP.

Slowly, slowly the Chinese are passing on the increase cost of production ( from increase iron ore price ) to the US. The other benefit of their action is to reduce those pollutions from the smelting industries while at the same time reducing their carbon footprint as demanded by the US. Looks like a brilliant move to help increase US inflation.

Chinese millennials are accomplishing their 'Chinese Dream' through hard work, smarts, and discipline spending.

Article by a self hating Chinese. Hardly any positive remarks by this sinophobe in all his articles. More like biased opinions than news. Always quoting anonymous sources to discredit China. News of breakthrough infections occurring in nations using Western vaccines is not mentioned when denigrating the Sinovac vaccine.
