Ardennes posted:I would say it is hard to find one in English, the main issue is that it is absolutely true real estate prices are dropping in China…it clearly a result in purposeful government policy. The Chinese government anything wants if not needs real estate prices to drop since it is causing inequality and leading to “dead capital” being left in the market. increased real estate prices necessitate increased wages. keeping exports competitive requires low wages. the chinese planners understand that you can increase standard of living by raising wages, or by lowering cost of living. this is one of the major points hudson is always over there lecturing about

Also that'll just create even more wage disparity between the tier one cities and lower tier cities not to mention the cities and the rural towns and villages. Gotta lower real estate prices whole at the same time try to raise wages across the entire country.

Pener Kropoopkin posted:more like who would win their epic rap battle of history the gerontocrats were pretty young by modern American standards quote:The marginal changes announced last week involve the removal of the “young” Dmitri S. Polyansky who is still on the right side of 60, and the election of Dmitri F. Ustinov, now 67, and Grigory V. Romanov, a mere stripling of 53. But the real kernel of power remains the hands of Messrs. Brezhnev, Kosygin, Suslov and Podgorny, a quartet whose average age exceeds 70. only one died by 1980 and that was Kosygin, barely, in late December of that year.

China has been very thorough in its attempt to build legitimacy around the world but it is failing in all the key areas where it needs to succeed at. It is easy and cheap for China to maintain a good image of itself in South America and Africa or even the Caribbean because there are no stakes there and frankly they are geopolitically unimportant in the regions where China needs to exert its influence most. So the narrative of 'China increasingly isolated as everyone hates them' might not be technically true in the sense that there are pockets where they still enjoy a good image and foreign support, it is becoming *functionally true* in that anyone with stakes in the regions that China views as its core interests, sees China in an increasingly negative light and may be prone to choose the existing option of cooperating with the US and helping to maintain the existing framework. Certainly trying to walk the tight rope on the Ukraine issue is pleasing no one outside of Russia and the general view that the Chinese covered up and are at least partly responsible for COVID being the pandemic it was yet again isn't helping. None of this is to say that China's (and Xi's) vision of Chinese ascendency is doomed per se as the economic and military might of Beijing remains very real. It is, however, ironic that when China sees the US as an aging power that should gracefully retire back across the Pacific, it is giving everyone in the region and actors with stakes outside the region, every reason to prop up and support the US in its attempt to pivot to the Pacific and maintain a dominating relevance in what should be Beijing's backyard.
