quote:Of course the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is aware of the problem – the so called “middle income trap” – which in reality occurs at the quite low income levels of high-end Third World countries like China, Mexico and Brazil. The CCP is attempting to overcome the roadblocks by upgrading China’s technological capacity, especially through the flagship Made in China 2025 policy framework. While the theory is very simple – nations must technically upgrade in order to continue to raise incomes – the practice is fraught. quote:Nothing in Trump’s policy indicates China is some kind of existential threat to US hegemony. To China boosters, the very existence of economic conflict between the US and China seems to prove their view of China’s rise. However, this is not the case any more than the existence of conflict between workers and their boss proves they stand on an equal footing, or are just the same thing.

that article might be a bit too pessimistic since the U.S. seems to be heading into recession right now. but it's food for thought

Eifert Posting posted:Also a lot of Korean products feature racist caricatures. It's a thing. do you have any specific examples because usually when i see this claimed its obsure products in niche markets no one has ever heard of not anything anyone has ever heard of like the only racist logo i can recall ever having much prominence was the cleveland indians mascot but that was awhile ago

Even when the admins change, around 80% of the moderation staff remains the same, carrying out their Deep Mod plans regardless of what figurehead occupies the "admin" role at any given time.

i'm incredibly sorry that exporting american culture has also achieved exporting american racist bullshit, but them's the breaks. i live in eastern europe and people on the street don't give a poo poo about your problems, but they do like the hollywood movies, n-words included.

so like i was driving and briefly listening to npr again b/c i hate myself and https://www.npr.org/templates/transcript/transcript.php?storyId=768569711 quote:Those trends are part of the reason why China's economy has stalled over the past decade. And it's hard to disentangle the effects of that broader economic slowdown from the effects of the trade war. But talking about any of this stuff in China can get you into trouble.

i should probably explain what i meant. the owner of that store is probably racist, normal people wouldn't call their store that, though you can't even be sure of that because as i said, all the lovely culture export USA does includes their lovely racist bullshit. but whether they are or aren't, the reason he doesn't have to change the name is because people on the street don't give a poo poo about some english words, not because they're also all racist. for most, they've seen that bullshit on tv and just treat it as another stupid american thing. the people who are online enough to know exactly what it means, it's so far down the list of their priorities, they really don't want to bother.
