American farmers probably voted overwhelmingly for Trump and now they get to compete with heavily subsidized Salmonella chickens from China

But it's okay because the CCP promised full and fair market access for American products and services for the billionth time

Hey hey hosed Stone Cold, Britannia ruled these waves when the USA was still pirating novels! Although as a son of Irish immigrants I guess I should just be angry about that but we were pretty complicit in the whole project. I think we should all be held accountable for that imperialism but China should be forgiven and granted a blank slate for past crimes.

Although I guess that means the Irish should also get a pass as we suffered. So I guess I can complain about current Han occupations? This is very complex, how exactly does one work out when to be up in arms over oppression?

When I was studying abroad I found that the Canadians were more obnoxious than us Americans cause they would always do the same stupid poo poo and use the excuse that they weren't American. A couple of canadians randomly set off the fire extinguisher in the dorm and caused everybody to get a nasty meiwaku email from the university.

Basically lets pretend this relates to China ok.

Admittedly, Lenin's term has a lot to due to with the time he lived and the circumstances of the Russian Civil War when imperial powers were striking across the former Russian Empire. Also, the RSFSR/USSR was in many ways ahead of its time in the degree of cultural and linguistic autonomy it promised (although obviously not political autonomy).


-----------------------------------

Also, China is far from irreverent to the world economy and it doesn't take a Han nationalist to see that. China obviously reached the end of its burst phase of industrial development, right now it is probably most comparable to the Soviet Union sometime in late 1960s/early 1970s. Admittedly, an advantage the Chinese have it their not tied to a single commodity like the Soviets were (oil).

My layman's hot take is more of the opinion that while China's market reforms have allowed for a lot of growth and uplifting of prosperity for a lot of people, it's mainly on the backs of enabling some people to get rich; and while there are a lot of rich people when there wasn't before, and as a result a lot of people are less poor; most people are still poor. I think they've hit the limit of how much growth they get get from people wanting to be rich.

There was a big difference in development before and after 1990. After 1990 credit was subject to much more state control and vulnerable to the graft economy we've seen take over today while before 1990 it was much easier for random peasants with no connections to get credit and start a business.

One guess as to what prompted that shift.
