Recently Xi seems to be making moves to consolidate state power over companies.

Is this a good or bad thing for China? Or is it mostly just talk? Xi seems to a supporter of open markets

Here in australia the divorce rate between asian women and white males are staggeringly high, asian women mistakenly believe white men to be chivalrous, generous and rich, only to find out that they are often selfish, poor, self centered and worse violent

As far i'm concerned, asian women who allow themselves to fall prey to such obvious displays of sexual imperialism with the intent of grasping a higher social position and gibs deserve everything that befalls them. Naturally, it is typical of an anglo society that declares race war against asian men to hammer it into the heads of every asian woman that they ca 'do better' with a white male. You see this in every anglo english speaking country but less so where the anglo language is prompted and where anglo media is not consumed. This is because as has been mentioned previously, that Anglo power rests on anglo propaganda which is why they are so psycho about foreign nations clamping down on 'free speech'. How else are they supposed to propagate white anglo supremacism to the young of colonised nations, if anglo media freedoms are curtailed?

Huh? Are you talking about Ant Financial’s IPO?

read this article and read up on the cause of the 2008 financial crisis.

The company currently keeps about 2% of loans on its own balance sheet, with the rest funded by third parties or packaged as securities and sold on.(Vincent: Asset-back Securities, one of the major causes of the 2008 financial crisis)
...
After getting its start in online payments, lending is now the firm’s biggest business. It has underwritten about 1.7 trillion yuan ($253 billion) in consumer loans and 422 billion yuan in small business loans for about 100 banks and other financial institutions Revenue from its CreditTech unit jumped 59% to 29 billion yuan in the first six months of the year, accounting for 40% of the total.

Ant helped provide small unsecured loans to about 500 million people over the past year through two platforms: Huabei (Just Spend) and Jiebei (Just Lend). The former focuses on quick consumer loans for small purchases, while the latter finances everything from travel to education. Ant typically charges annualized interest rates of about 15% to consumers. Its more than 20 million small business borrowers pay an average lending rate of about 11%, almost double the average 5.94% small borrowers can get from banks.

Why would US sacrifice American blood for Taiwan when US won't even sell F-35s to the Taiwanese airforce like it does with true allies Korea/Japan?

It's because US is afraid of Taiwan Conquest by PLA will mean F-35's in Chinese military hands. US believes Taiwan is BEYOUND hopeless, that's why it refuses to sell the most advanced US weaponry F-35 that it sells to true allies.

You need to de-emphasize the "convincing" part because Westerners will always doubt China's side of the story. Taiwan can assassinate Xi Jinping with clear evidence, but US/West will always back Taiwan's side of story. There is no point of trying to persuade the West of what China is doing is good, they already think "CHINA BAD" .

A rational American leadership with healthy views of itself and China would likely not intervene, simply because the risks of nuclear exchange.

It is dangerous to assume that American leadership is rational. Trump for all his fault is not as warmongering as the neolib/neocon establishment, but if the US sees defending Taiwan as an opportunity to knock China out for good to defend its own credibility as the unipolar world power, it's hard to say.

You have a point about the negative perception of China in the US, however the flip side of that coin is that Americans are so ignorant on China and misunderstands China so deeply that they might believe it to be an easy victory. Most westerner's opinion on China is based on severely outdated information from the 1980s.

Even if China can win against Taiwan, it can still sustain crippling economic damage afterwards either due to sanctions or to coastal infrastructure being bombed. This is likely the main reason why the war hasn't happened yet, the process of winning the peace afterwards through maneuvering before the war starts isn't over yet. Development still comes first.

Therefore before launching the war, China will have to ensure its post-war economic safety by mastering key technologies, securing resources and establishing international systems that are not vulnerable to US dollar sanctions. It's all being done now, but those things are just as important as jets and missiles.

This is why Bismarck was so brilliant. He wanted a war with France to unify Germany, but he couldn't start it, and he maneuvered the release of the diplomatic conversation with the French ambassador in a way that will provoke France to declare war for him. He also made sure to secure future international relationships after declaring the German Empire, specifically having neutralized Austria as a factor before the war started.

At first, or the way Western MSM puts it, Jack Ma said something that he shouldn't and the Chinese gov clamped down on him.

But hearing more of what Ant Financial does, yes, if an institution lends money, it should be classified with the same rules as a bank and not a tech company. What happens when you lend too much and people don't pay? That's how a financial crisis can start.

So that's a scary thought. I trust that the Chinese financial regulators know what they are doing. I think techlash needs to happen once in a while against all tech companies, and tech companies need to be regulated or hold accountable or something really bad can happen.

unfortunately, post Deng China doesn't have politicians with Bismarck's wisdom. they've been basically trying to unify China through bribe, that is making big economic concessions to win "hearts & minds" in Taiwan. and the Taiwanese took advantage of it relentlessly: they squeeze for more concessions as hard as they can, and selling China out as hard as they could.

What is amazing about this election, is even after the rottenness of Trumps' character had been exposed during his Presidency, he still managed to increase his vote tally by an extra 4 million over his 2016 tally.

So basically, Trump is even more popular than he was four years ago despite covid 19. And all the sxxt. And he only lost the election because the Dems managed to get their people out this time around!
