Whenever either the US or the UK are coping hard with their lovely half-assed attempts at handling covid, lab leak will resurface just to give people a momentary distraction. Treating it like it was made in a lab makes it seem more like it was something someone did to us rather than something we did to ourselves by letting nature run rampant over our bodies.

China just merged the major rare earth companies into one state owned company. I bet good money all the rare earth exports soon will have a "processed by Xinjiang office" stamp on it. What's going to happen next is the US congress is going to pass another bill and give ""examption"" to most of the US companies that import rare earth.

we can literally see our infrastructure collapsing right before our eyes while our "govt" fails to do jack poo poo to solve it while at the same time handing out billions upon billions to corporations while also at the same time saying we cant afford to forgive motherfucking student loans

Anyway as far as Evergrande goes, it is going to cause a slowdown in Shenzhen’s luxury market but that seems to be purposeful on the part of the central government. However, it doesn’t seem to be seriously affecting equities at this point. I am sure plenty of foreign investors will take a bath.

As far as Iran goes, I wonder when higher tier Russian/Chinese weaponry starts showing up. Their newest tank (thr Karrar) seems to at least partially based on a T-90 but even some third gen jf-17s would be a considerable upgrade or modernized mig-29s.

the other part is that media hawkery got people that mistrust it to consider that china is actually doing well, even if these people are in other side of the spectrum against the cpc, besides internet and the "information landscape" being something else entirely than the days of the USSR. There's a lot more disinfo, but there's a lot more distrust either way. still, for some reason, nobody is contesting that china is building a shitload of high speed rail because the material conditions in that regard are undeniable. that's where the cpc wins

I think Iran is likely looking at it as an option since they just elected a hardliner president, who is also in line to succeed the supreme leader.

I think the main problem is not the US but a nuclear test to throw the middle east power balance into a mess.
