CommieGIR posted:Basically. It'll have some effect, but not a heavy one. Marketplace is actually pretty decent on this one. http://www.marketplace.org/popoutplayer/85 We send about 1-2% of our output to China. The Chinese slowdown isn't directly making the majority of our economy lose steam or anything. It's hurting Airplane manufacturers, Heavy equipment makers (Caterpillar), and other mechanical capital producers that have grown plump supplying the booming Chinese economy over the last decades. Now it's time to see if they've saved their pennies and nickles to weather this drop in demand. It's also going to lead to corrections for those companies stock values as we adjust to revised Chinese economic growth (supplied from outside the CCP). Hopefully growth in India and Europe will prop up some of the US companies that are more reliant on development heavy markets. Additionally, commodities are hurting like a bee-yotch over the last year. Corn, Soybeans, Oil, Metals, etc. are cumulatively down by ~30% from last year. The Midwestern farmers and oil barons who enjoyed steady economic growth during the financial crisis are going to feel this much more than a 'typical american worker' (whatever that actually means). If I knew the code for the farmer smilie, I'd put it in here with a 'money pit' smilie next to it. Tech stocks are also hammered by the decline. Most people agree that the animal spirits that have been guiding the markets with Tech Co. valuations have probably overstated their profit potentials -- Getting into China/India and other mass market developing companies was expected to be the future bread and butter for these companies to grow in the long run. WIth this much uncertainty about the economic future of China these tech companies aren't viewed as having as robust of a market to get into. TL:DR - USA USA USA USA Mei Banfa.

Does anyone know if they've lifted the ban on some of the stocks they suspended from trading last month? - I was under the impression that a portion of the market is suspended from trade, do these companies just come back to a ravaged and limp market?

So the Dow completely lost its rally today. If the Shanghai Composite has another -7 % or so tomorrow are we likely to see a continued rally of European markets? Or has the interest rate change likely already lost its correcting power?

The Chinese market is guaranteed to see 2000 in the near future, but now that the rest of the world knows this it's not likely to impact the bulk of non-Asian stocks for a while. Exceptions: Australia (completely hosed) and businesses with heavy exposure to China / some tech stocks.

Toplowtech posted:Hey guys, remember the 80s when Japan was going to take over the world and become an all powerful economic superpower ? No? Well, if you want a good laugh at someone hyping a bubble economy that isn't China, you can buy a used copy of "Japan as Number One" by Ezra F. Vogel for around 0.01$ on Amazon those days... Vogel's book is from 1979 so that comparison isn't quite as apt as I'd have liked to have seen on this forum. The best would be George Friedman & Meredith Lebard's The Coming War with Japan written in 1991 about how Japan is going to curb stomp American economic interests. For those that don't recognize that name the guy runs Stratfor, which a fuckton of both governments and major companies give shitloads of money to in order for them to do "intelligence." Given my own work in a field they're supposed to be experts in (Mexico & Central America) the amount of times they're hilariously wrong is so amazing that I honestly think they'd be better off flipping a coin. But that Japan book? It's so horribly wrong that George Friedman wiped it from his Wikipedia bibliography and if you try to re-add it then it gets removed again. That's the kind of guy that runs a major "intelligence company" that people pay huge sums of money to in order to be better informed.

Europe is already broken up, that continent has never managed to maintain a successful unified administration over +50% of the land for more than half a century, at least not since the Roman Empire. Not that a dysfunctional multi state entity as the EU is in any way preferable to a single unified state in any way except tickling nationalist sentiments.

computer parts posted:Inner Mongolia is 80% Han. It's not at all like Tibet. That's why I said the parts that still contain Mongols- much of that 80% Chinese majority is concentrated in a number of large cities, which obviously wouldn't get retroceded to Mongolia, but there are still a few nomadic areas with Mongol populations. Likewise, it probably wouldn't make sense to put Xining in an independent Tibet, but once you get outside the city things get pretty Tibetan-y again pretty quickly. Edit: and if the parts of Russia that are filled with ethnic or cultural Mongols wanted to return to Mongolia, I don't see a problem there either.
