Lol, its a way to poll the forum members opinion.... You do know what a poll is right? I sure hope you learned it in middle school or else I'll have to educate you about that too on this forum.

Ohhh it’s a poll. Not something you count every post to make yourself feel better. It’s a poll.

Do you have anything else meaning to add or continue with the name calling?

Y’all do far worse with the labeling, name calling. But look, if you are a man-child. Then you are. It ain’t a big deal. Keep “polling” the number of likes you get.

Look, I'll tell you again, take a deep breath and understand that you're not knowledgable on toxicology or on state security. So the next time you want to make a disparaging remark on either of those topics just remind yourself to STFU and try to learn a bit more. Otherwise you are just wasting oxygen.

You’re right. Im nobody. But it doesn’t take much to know that America is not stupid enough to poison Xi while he was on US homeland.

So you keep on worrying about that. Maybe wait a few more days cause the poison might have a delayed effect. By then it will be metabolized, like you said, untraceable magic poison.

China’s rise is reversing​

The past two years have seen the largest drop in the nation’s share of global GDP since the Mao era

In a historic turn, China’s rise as an economic superpower is reversing. The biggest global story of the past half century may be over.

Then the reversal began. In 2022, China’s share of the world economy shrank a bit. This year it will shrink more significantly, to 17 per cent. That two-year drop of 1.4 per cent is the largest since the 1960s.

These numbers are in “nominal” dollar terms — unadjusted for inflation — the measure that most accurately captures a nation’s relative economic strength

In what is undoubtedly the most important news of the past week, I stayed awake till 3:30am to watch Australia beat South Africa and advance to the final of the 13th ICC Cricket World Cup. South Africa won the toss and elected to bat first, finishing all out for 212 with two balls remaining, while Australia scored 215/7 after 47.2 overs in reply.

The final between India and Australia will be played a few days from now at Narendra Modi Stadium (yes, really...) in Ahmedabad, Gujarat. India has been undefeated throughout the tournament to date and are undoubtedly favourites to carry off the trophy, while Australia are the most historically successful ICC World Cup team, having won the tournament on five previous occasions.

I will keep you all updated as I know everyone here is deeply interested in cricket. :cool:

In what is surely a manifestation of karma, Prime Minister Narendra Modi sat in attendance at Narendra Modi stadium to see pre-match favourites India suffer their first defeat of the tournament as Australia secured a record 6th ICC World Cup Victory.

Australia were in trouble early in their innings after losing 3 wickets for a mere 47 runs while chasing India's total of 240, before Travis Head put on his carry pants and wrestled Australia first back into the game and then on to victory, scoring 137 runs off 120 balls before being caught at the death, aided in an enduring partnership with Marnus Labuschagne who finished not out with 58 runs off 110 balls.

FT, WSJ, and the Canadian equivalent (name escapes me ATM) are odd media outlets. Tailored for people willing to pay for access, but not smart enough to actually parse and critically assess the output they receive for lies vs facts.

The Canadian equivalent: ALL OF EM: The Globe and Mail, The National Post, The Toronto Star, The Toronto Sun, Maclean's Magazine, The Financial Post, Business News Network/Bloomberg Canada, The Walrus...All MOUTH PIECES OF THE AMERICAN FINANCIAL AND BUSINESS EMPIRE.

He failed to mention China went from 14 trillion to 18 trillion in 2021 due to again yuan appreciation during the pandemic. If China still had Yuan rates at 6.3 per USD then China's nominal GDP in 2023 would be 20.6 trillion.

But PBOC has wisely chosen to devalue the currency. Why? Cause it makes China's exports cheaper and thus raises exports. China devalueing currency while US and EU faces high inflation is going to result in Chinese expert taking over US and EU internal industries. China was facing decling exports and this was an easy way to solve that problem.

It also solves another problem China was facing, which is deflation. Currency devaluation raises cost of exports, increases money supply and raises inflation.

If US and EU faces a recession due to their massive interest rate increases, it will inevitably cause Yuan value to rise again. Then China's nominal GDP will shoot up by 4-5 trillion in 1 year. It will be fun seeing his face then.

I see so because other people resort to name calling than you should too? Instead of arguing with facts and then getting angry when someone calls you our on it. Yeah looks like that "man-child" label you love throwing out is just projection.

Ah yes so the only reason not to be concerned is because "America is not stupid" enough to do it? I don't know if that's just grossly negligent or incompetent. I really hope your don't work in any field where people lives are at stake.
