When Jewboy was alive he rarely attracted such opprobrium. If only he lived longer. Something tells me in the aftermath of i̶f̶ when US goes head on with China over Taiwan , if the US never recovers from the encounter , Jewboy will go down the ages in infamy.

Never before or since will a name be as despised as his would be in the US . His work on China will forever be recounted as a cautionary tale.

China's preparing the grounds for a Taiwan invasion & the US under Trump seems to be upping their game to counter it. We may see Jaishankar's cryptic comments about something big coming out way in this light.

I'm seeing a very insightful episode of CTC from Gupta after ages.

Must watch IMO !

Gentle Reminder !

The last time there was a massive global tariff war initiated by the US , it led to the Pearl Harbor incident.

We know how that one ended ! @rockdog

The Blurb for this particular episode on Dwarkesh Patel's Podcast :

Arthur Kroeber is a leading researcher on Chinese tech and macro, a founding partner at Gavekal Dragonomics, and author of "China's Economy: What Everyone Needs to Know". It's the most useful, detailed resource I've found of how China actually works.

On this episode, we discuss how China achieved high-tech manufacturing dominance, and where they'll go from here. By Arthur’s account, the Chinese government is like a giant VC fund: they decide on key priorities and then spend hundreds of billions of dollars subsidizing ruthless competition at the local level. They are willing to lose huge amounts of money for a few of their bets to pay off: at China’s scale, effectiveness matters more than efficiency.


There's also a growing bipartisan consensus that we need to combat China's rise. This doesn’t make much sense to me. China is a big, powerful country at the frontier in many fields, and its economy is intricately tied in with our own. Being instinctively adversarial is both unsustainable and risky. Arthur and I discuss how we can create a productive, mutually beneficial version of this relationship.

Although the author is slightly biased in favour of China given the nature of his business I feel , this is by & large an honest attempt at an appraisal of the Chinese economy & the way CCP has gone about building & growing it , if you consider the caveat given .

Extremely insightful as well if you're interested in this kind of thing. Apparently his book China's Economy apart from being a best seller is also considered to be a seminal work on the subject , in some quarters except that it ends in 2016 . A lot of water has flown down the Yangtze River since .
