weirdos on Twitter keep posting Chinese bank runs In Henan province and tanks blocking people from withdrawing their money, what’s the situation? anyone know?

Even if the tank story is some made up bullshit it's funny how believable it is that something like that could happen

If you saw tanks in front of a Chase Bank or something like that and someone told you it was keeping people from getting their money you'd never believe it

Which makes me wonder - Does something like FDIC exist in China?

Everything about the Henan bank protests makes sense. Like dude ran a scam on whole buncha folks. The folks who got scammed are mad and want their money. It's not even a question of if they'll get their money, it's a question of if the chinese federal or local government is going to cover the bill. But that doesn't matter to the folks who got scammed because they want blood and their money back NOW. I genuinely dig how even the western slanted portrayals that are trying their damnedest to make this into Tienamen Square 2: Financial Boogaloo can't excise the parts where people are saying they "are fighting to get their deposits" which is the real dangerous idea that hasn't crossed over to the west.

Compare and contrast to the sad discord and reddit posts westerners make when their crypto exchanges freeze withdrawls. They just roll over while robots take their money and run.



like lmao if you steal 200k from me you BETTER have a tank inbetween us if you know what's good for you.

If Westerners get ripped off by what seems like an accredited bank, then they'll act the same way. People roll over for crypto scams because the lawlesness of the market was part of its whole appeal. Nobody can claim they weren't aware of all the risks involved, unless they were total suckers.

there are special rubber 'shoes' you put on the treads when driving on surfaces that you don't want to tear up in the process, e.g. your own roads

Lol the WSWS put out another banger.

quote:

The CPP was founded in December 1968 on the Maoist conception of protracted people’s war, armed struggle in the countryside to encircle the cities leading up to the seizure of power. The party was founded on the program of Stalinism, which seeks to subordinate the working class to a section of the capitalist class in the name of a “national democratic revolution.” The armed struggle was a means to achieving this political end.

quote:

The function of the NPA is not to surround the cities from the countryside, let alone to aid the working class in the seizure of power, but to give political clout to the party leadership in its negotiations with the bourgeoisie. The rhetoric of protracted people’s war has enabled the CPP to retain its hold over the waves of radicalization in the country’s youth and workers. It has then instructed these layers to support and pressure the party’s bourgeois allies.

The 1980s were a decade of political upheaval in the Philippines. Long-time dictator Ferdinand Marcos was overthrown in 1986 by a popular uprising that was coupled with a military coup. A rival section of the bourgeoisie, represented by President Corazon Aquino, took power and suppressed mass unrest through the military and the use of paramilitary death squads.

western and western-friendly political and economic analysis of the current crisis and general trend of china’s rise completely relies on the idea that no one except americans are capable of innovation and quick ingenuity to solve a sudden major problems - no one else can do a “moon shot” (something that the US itself is not capable of anymore, at all). even a country with as many systemic failings as russia has run counter to every expectation and is rejiggering its economy to make up for a severe disruption in their previous trade relations, much to the shock of those who expected sanctions to pressure them into compliance

the decline of the US in an even more drastic fashion is coming much sooner than any traditional analysis is capable of fully articulating

the national myths of the US completely blind it from making a coherent analysis. and there is also plenty of non-US analysis from people who still believe in the US myths because it was the ideology and common sense assumption for so many decades. a lot of farts were huffed and projections are being made from this masturbation. this leads to shock and surprise when these expectations are defied, even when they are defied over and over again. there is no room for accounting for the new order because the consequences for accepting it are unacceptable and unthinkable to the empire. you’ll also lose your academic, writing or consulting job and take a severe credibility hit for accurate analysis

unfortunately i dont think the US and its allies will get the message until the consequences from the delusions of their western liberal “rules based” empire produce very dire consequences in the imperial core. this is already happening and it will accelerate while the empire blindly falls from crisis to crisis unable to seriously grapple with any problem because the starting assumptions are completely fictional

good luck with that, Samsung and TSMC leaders have both said that these fabs will be very difficult to keep profitable. In addition don't these fabs need a lot of water? Have they seen the huge heatwave and drought we are having here?

fabs are sort of like in a catch-22 because A. you need a spot that's very geologically stable so that tremors don't spoil the extremely sensitive processes that you're doing, but B. they also need lots of water

and those two things don't exactly intersect in very many places
