crepeface posted:lmfao really BRICS is a thing made up by, literally, Goldman Sachs, to try and drum up investment. It's not a meaningful category except as much as people want it to be because it's a buzzword that westerners in media/politics recognize and want to use to get other western investment.

It is a shame that China hasn’t build up poor and underdeveloped areas before and their HSR network is now useless.

indigi posted:i find the idea that you can "go take a look" in Xinjiang and figure out what's happening "on your own" to be hilariously patronizing. it's on par with google-epidemiologists trying to find out what's happening with vaccines and autism on facebook The point is all the bullshit about prison camps where oh it's actually a loving school, "this mosque was destroyed!" when actually it was remodeled, stuff you can literally see on google earth, the blatant lying coupled with treating Xinjiang like it's a Soviet closed city writ large where oh you have to trust us, the information is so hard to find, very censorious CCP you know, and it's a panic on par with the anti-trans/gender poo poo as far as being based on the opposite of reality and fwd: fwd: slash facebook/qanon level nonsense

crepeface posted:lmfao really Just to add, lots of international groups are real things with lots of work behind them, but it is also possible for a government to hire out a conference hall, pick a fancy name, hand out some invites, issue a press release and boom instant International Partnership Between X,Y, and Z. Nothing is actually worth anything unless you have a joint communique you can parse carefully for hints of what the tangible things that were actually agreed were.

Ardennes posted:It is a shame that China hasn’t build up poor and underdeveloped areas before and their HSR network is now useless. the US was settled along wagon trails and then railroad lines and then highway and freeway lines. the towns on the lines grew and any settlements off them withered. Also for the US it was a colonization project please don't use that against me

Also there's obviously economic value to just not having persons and trucks idling behind a toll gate

Danann posted:https://twitter.com/michaelxpettis/status/1640670962382430211 lol forever at the idea of productively justifying infrastructure Infrastructure is what you, a state directing development, build in an area *to unleash its productive forces*. It is definitionally an investment in a future state, even the outlines of which do not yet exist. Imagine opening even a lovely citybuilder and going "welp, no point building any roads on this (near) empty map, since nothing productive is currently going on here. And then closing the game thinking you beat it.

this whole flood of poo poo about how horrible china is basically necessitated by them having an objectively superior system of government in most every way, and as such it must be demonized as hard as possible this is also why the bullshit machine has spun into overdrive in recent years, as the fact that china is overtaking the west becomes more and more obvious Cerebral Bore has issued a correction as of 10:41 on Mar 31, 2023 |

Palladium posted:eh have you considered government doing anything good is authoritarian Literally videogames have made me more able to correctly assess economic development than a western economics education does. Like anyone playing anything even adjacent to the Dwarf Fortress / Banished / Anno 1800 / Rimworld genre or even Survival type games with heavy crafting components should intuitively have a better understanding of actual economic principles than the bullshit western universities pump out, because all of those games are inherently materialist, albeit heavily simplified. And in the special case of Workers & Resources, not even all that simplified. loving Railroad Tycoon disproves this idiots ideas. Edit: Someone ought to make a finance capital version of a city builder where you do lots of complicated (but essentially risk-free because you own the government) trading in ever more creative and impossible to understand financial products to make your number go up, but every time you close all the financial pages and go back to the main view showing the cities and infrastructure of your country (on which you have no tools whatsoever to make a direct impact) things have fallen apart further.
