Chinese Economics Thread

[SanWenYu]

I too think the West is doing a mistake by walling itself in. What protectionism leads to is a well known thing. But I also think the West still needs to get denied export revenues for denying export revenues to China.

I very strongly disagree with viewpoints like that of SanWenYu. Because they presume the West needs a justification. The West doesn't. They just sanction if they can. The only reason they haven't sanctioned civilian airliners and COMAC C919 is the fear retaliation for example.

Do not put words in my mouth. Do you even understand what I said? Who said anything about justification?

“De-escalation through escalation” seems what you are wishing China’s trade policies to be.
