look at downtown manhattan. look at the surface of the moon. there... there are places like swaziland. There are people here. we need free markets.

it's the closest we've ever gotten to a sitting president telling "humanitarian interventionists" to shut the gently caress up. American foreign policy isn't going to be driven by the plight of women, and really never was. That's just the red meat they threw out to get liberal rubes on board for Afghanistan & Iraq.

The west is only melting down about tencent, alibaba, and others getting the Xi fisting because those big Chinese tech companies are traded on the Hang Seng which is open for foreign investment. The west is exposed to these companies failing and the west has to pay these fines and penalties.

Just sitting here and thinking about this makes me wonder if this isn't some kind of sanctioning or China saying "hey we can twist the screws," to the west.

Might also be a balance of payment thing. If you have a ginormous trade surplus and attract a lot of foreign investment you'll have a lot of pressure on the currency. If I understand this right you can either: Let the value of your currency go up, which might disrupt your industry; buy foreign garbage paper; or dial down foreign investments.

Meanwhile, in Covid news, China is down to like, 6 cases nationwide, daily. That number has been going down since the beginning of the month.

It's amazing what a strong central government that gives a poo poo can accomplish.

Cross posting from the COVID thread, remember back at the beginning of July when Wuhan suddenly reported 50 extra cases from abroad and people were freaking out, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs had to come out and explain that:

- Because by the beginning of July, it was abundantly obvious that the situation in Afghanistan was beyond salvage, the government sent a chartered flight to evacuate every PRC national in Afghanistan.
- Considering that Afghanistan was likely an area of high transmission, it was expected that many returnees would test positive, but no one could be left behind as the situation was rapidly deteriorating.
- The flight and crew were specially prepared, every evacuee was PCR tested before leaving and the positive cases were quarantined in the plane, and went straight to isolation after landing in Wuhan

Every PRC national who wanted to leave was evacuated, and the plane even waited for a few stragglers coming in from the provinces by road. A few business people and essential embassy staff remained. Currently they report everything is quiet and the embassy is operating normally, with Taliban fighters posted outside for security. The Chinese businessmen who remained had met with Taliban commanders and been provided with special passes to move around freely. They are careful to stay away from the airport however, lest they be shot at by crazed American troops.
