why is that a big deal? Xi isn’t telling them to stop using the dollar he’s telling them to use the shanghai exchange if they’re gonna do sales in Yuan, is there a big deal to this?

if countries don't have to maintain huge fuckoff USD reserves and can instead maintain unreasonably large USD reserves and large yuan reserves it really cuts away at the US's non-military means of enforcing imperialism combined with China/Russia working on a legit SWIFT alternative it will be an enormous leveling of American power

This paragraph from the Reuters story appears to signal the Saudis aren't ready to. quote:A Saudi source, speaking before Xi's visit, told Reuters that a decision to sell small amounts of oil in yuan to China could make sense in order to pay Chinese imports directly, but "it is not yet the right time".

indigi posted:that seems awfully cynical. I doubt they did it to spite their people even in a passive way, since if your other reasons are true (they want to move past economic stagnation [even though they're still growing while the US is firmly in a recession]) then allowing omicron to run rampant and kill+disable millions guarantees an even worse economic outcome Just about half the population has had covid (many multiply!) in Singapore and its literally fine, there have been 1707 fatalities and the vast majority don’t exhibit long-term symptoms. I have had covid thrice, and each time was a headache and a sore throat for like 3 days followed by a week off work. The experience of just about everyone I know was similar, even an 80 year old dude jammed full of comorbidities.I do not understand the hysteria on this board and am finding it harder to sympathize with. It seems pretty unhealthy.

90% of Singapore is vaccinated which goes a long way to breaking transmission and mildness of symptoms

Lol the US won't even give workers a single day of paid leave but apparently catching something that takes you out for a week at a time is "literally fine" gently caress off please

Raskolnikov38 posted:90% of Singapore is vaccinated which goes a long way to breaking transmission and mildness of symptoms 90% of the Chinese population is vaccinated and 70% have boosters, also the number of deaths has been relatively limited thus far. COVID is absolutely a deadly disease but it also isn't unstoppable in terms of fatalities. Vaccination, masking, and new treatments have clearly slow the advance of the virus and have significant affects on mortality. The US very clearly opened up far too soon without a vaccinated public and the results are clear.

genericnick posted:Nah, that started earlier than the protests and the extent of anything happening in response was probably over hyped by china watchers. Pretty sure they reduced the entry quarantine(which is the least intrusive and most effective measure) earlier this year. yep from ten days to five timed perfectly so that it was yet another thing that happened that screwed up my plans

Ardennes posted:90% of the Chinese population is vaccinated and 70% have boosters, also the number of deaths has been relatively limited thus far. my state was maybe the last place in the western world to drop covid zero after omicron became the dominate strain with a 95% rate of vaccination and we have ~800 dead in a population of 2.7 million. the best case scenario for china's population density is still likely to be hundreds of thousands dead, especially since the vaccination rates for the elderly are the lowest.

Which country? In either case, your death rate would have been ten times higher if you did things "American style." The Chinese have actually been pushing vaccination rates for elderly people and they have showed results. They are still lagging but they have recently made a lot of progress. In addition, I would assume they are already stockpiling antivirals along with the mass expansion of ICU beds. There are going to be tens of thousands of deaths at least but at the same time it isn't the same situation as the start of the pandemic. It isn't good but at the same time I do think the Chinese are under more external than internal pressure soften lockdowns to keep production and energy consumption up.

US open too soon because the whole medical sector is over represented in GDP and economy. And the state is not actually paying to it. So open up is good for business.

In either case, your death rate would have been ten times higher if you did things "American style." well duh, if we did things like a bad country it would have been bad im in western australia, which is very isolated and, like china, closed its borders to the rest of the world (including the rest of australia). we had 90% double vaccinated and kept some baseline measures when we opened up: https://twitter.com/MarkMcGowanMP/status/1456439172105850881?s=20&t=WYpE6Xq-F_cwC4uMtJaxzQ i think my state is a decent model of what is going to happen to china. we had a very popular leader who implemented very strict measures, which were followed pretty well. we closed our borders until feb 2022:  ~800 deaths for a population of 2.7 million. a similar death toll for china for their population is 400k deaths. even with the power of xi jinping thought, there's going to be a huge number of deaths over the next year
