As an aside, is it me, or are mainstream publications using formerly "MRA"-type terms, like "hypergamy," a lot more? For the longest time I thought that was just a PUA word.

It’s a term from anthropology borrowed by the redpill types to explain “chads and stacys”

The above is basically the US saying "agree to these terms that will ensure US superiority indefinitely, or else." China's only response will be "ok, we'll take the 'else.'"

Half of those are "act like everyone else does regarding trade, like you agreed to when you joined the WTO."

The first 2 in particular are the roughest ones.

Every country subsidizes it’s own industries and steals industrial secrets like it’s going out of style. The entire DGSE in France exists to steal foreign industrial secrets. The NSA builds backdoors into Cisco routers so they can conduct industrial spying. Pretty hilarious to be the #1 industrial espionage haver and demand that #2 shut it down

the best time for them to try and strangle the Chinese economy was 10 years ago. It seems like for every American market there are other countries just waiting in the wings to sell poo poo to China (like the Brazilian soybean industry stepping up after China stopped buying American soybeans)

And yet ZTE collapsed and is on indefinite life support from unilateral US sanctions so methinks soybeans aren't the only thing China needs to import from the US.

You'd have to be dumb to hold ZTE stock in China now because it's being propped up indefinitely by a flood of state money. You invest in China on the basis of who the government has picked to win, not on the basis of merit or profitability.

Yeah, the only reason that Chinese aerospace companies aren't filling DoD contracts is because of unfair trade practices by the US government. You nailed it Pevan Stan.

Trading in ZTE stocks has been frozen since April 17, when the sanctions were announced, which means that Pevan Stan opened up a SK/HK market chart, saw ZTE stocks as a straight line/no data availabe from April 17 until now, and said to himself "Yep, stable as stable can be!"

Forcing foreign companies to hand over their technology and enter joint-enterprises with state owned firms in exchange for temporary access to the Chinese market before being forced out once a heavily state-subsidized domestic champion emerges is not the same as the Pentagon giving Lockheed Martin lots of business.

ZTE phones sell pretty well in Europe btw, and have been for years and years while their penetration in the US market has been collapsing for a while.

Is that like Siemens being forced to manufacture their sd-400 trains in the US in order to compete for mass transit contracts?

Or how about South Korea insisting that Boeing manufacture a certain amount of parts for the 747/787 with a Korean joint enterprise:

quote:

Korean Air's Aerospace Division is a key Boeing partner on both the 747-8 and 787 programs, supplying the distinctive raked wing-tips for each model. They are also one of two suppliers producing the new 737 MAX Advanced Technology (AT) Winglet.

Literally everything China asks for is standard operating procedure, even in rich countries like South Korea.
