NATO is currently meeting right now to discuss how to transfer their attention to Asia because they need to get China to buy American debt. It’s basically a shakedown op.
X factor is if the westerners who now visit China visa free will actual,t lend their support to the anti war factions in their own countries. If not, they deserve to die in a pacific jungle far from home.

Foreign companies report gloom in sales in China which translate to Chyna Collapse in the wester social/media. Maybe reality is that Chinese consumers are dumping foreign brands at a increasing rate. Paraphrase from the video "Chinese won't automatically buy a brand because it is western anymore" and "Chinese youth favor local brands."
There is really no secret to some of these huge American brands that the Chinese can't replicate and potential take overseas tweaked. Chinese localized McDonalds and KFC is already reportely much better than it's US version. They grew on overwhelming us softpower "marketing" and probably us financial/military power over countries.

Glad to see the decoupling is proceeding as scheduled. Consume made in China, enjoy tourism in China, support Chinese brands.
Zero (0) deaths over tiny uninhabitable reefs against Phillipines.
Therefore, it make sense to have Zero (0) Genocide against Palestine.
I totally agree, it's absolutely consistent position, Zero for Zero.
If there is doom/gloom related to western brands' weak performance in China, what do they say when the Chinese brands are reaching the West?
There is a mall in Toronto that now has a Chinese section with local and mainland-China (and Taiwan) based brands (Cotti coffee, Miniso). It is a traditional mall (i.e has an H&M, Sephora, etc.) rather than an "Asian mall", and not in a majority Asian area (though I would say the demographics of Asians has definitely increased significantly).
Younger people in western countries are more open to Chinese brands (Shein, TikTok, Temu). They don't have the cold war "commie" mental baggage, Tiananmen baggage, "only crap is made in China"-mentality (rather just *everything* is made in China, crap or otherwise).
I have read the article. its not about British Empire and it will not apply to US in same way. This article is about post 1980s Britain that transforms its economy into making money rather than manufacturing. but Britain would have lost manufacturing any way. an Island nation next to integrated industrial Europe. what is missing from the article is the rise of Arab Wealth and its impact on UK. All those Arab media companies, sports, offshore, real estate and everything around arms deals even if the parts come from rest of Europe. i will not says Arabs pushed UK in this direction but they have major influence over past few decades. These were previous generation who achieved so much and won the Cold war. now think about what next generation of Gulf Arabs will do?. you would think Japan is dead horse in terms of new technology but this meeting shows they have figured out something in Japan. the other is Putin talking to Iranian president elect so soon after election. this about protecting wealth accumulation in Persian Gulf and not create further conflicts. these links are from Arab source thats whey they are important.
