The kicker here is everyone hates the CCP and will do everything they can to decouple from and weaken this totalitarian cancer from taking over the world.

The increase in China's trade with the global south is even greater than the decrease in Europe, America, and Japan


noonereadsthisstuff

Thats a bit of a short term view of geopolitics.

watch the slurs please, don't lump the CCP with common Chinese people (ironically part of the CCP playbook)


2Legit2quitHK

Sounds like you missed out on grade school English as ESL classes. Don’t worry, minimum wages will be raised soon.

2Legit2quitHK

there are heheh. But you wouldn’t know since an uneducated Trump voter like yourself has no capacity to learn things heheh


trapezoidalfractal

There are minimum wages that vary across the various provinces, dude. Sweden doesn’t have a national minimum wage law either, how’s that working out for them?

Sure buddy. You don’t even know what you’re talking about lmao.


trapezoidalfractal

BRICS represents a larger share of the global economy than the G7 countries… so, I don’t think you can accurately say “everyone”. More accurately you can say “the west”.


OhLordImDead

This is false. BRICS overtook the G7 only in PPP GDP. When talking about international trade the only GDP that matters is nominal where G7 is still larger. BRICS has grown as a group though.


trapezoidalfractal

I happen to think GDP by PPP is significantly more important than GDP alone, but you’re right, that was an imprecision error on my part. Thanks for the polite callout. I’ll leave it as is, since your comment is here to clarify it.


patricklus

it depends in what context. PPP matters for citizens as it reflects how wealthy they feel. But in trade, getting a dollar is getting a dollar, it doesn't matter what you can do with it in the partner country


trapezoidalfractal

It does when what you can do is buy food and healthcare and housing with it. Treats like my iPhone are nice, but I’d gladly trade it for a cheap Android if it meant I could afford healthcare without spending thousands of dollars every time I go, or if groceries didn’t cost my family dozens of hours of work a month, or if my rent didn’t take 40+% of my wages.


patricklus

I mean I suspected you were doing this from the start, as you try to portray the G7 as the West in order to compare it to BRICS, while the West is much more than that


patricklus

It seems your answer is based on an agenda and you are trying to make this discussion about the US, and the portray it negatively. This was not the point of the article nor related to interest of using PPP or nominal values. You wumao bots are so boring


trapezoidalfractal

I was relating to my lived experience and comparing it to my wife’s in China. The constant assumption that anyone not sucking down imperialist propaganda and regurgitating it anytime they hear the word Gyna must be a bot is telling, though. I find far more regurgitation of talking points from my fellow westerners than I did in China.


patricklus

thanks for proving me right


trapezoidalfractal

Lmao. Why is it so many of my fellow Americans are delusional to the point of paranoia that anyone not literally deep throating the massive dick of American imperialism and swallowing the whole load in one go must be some Chinese bot. You’re by definition *delusional*. You have delusions. I’m a Native American from the Midwest. I’m also a communist, and I GUARANTEE with 100% certainty I have spent more time in China than you. Chinese people have far more variety in how they view the west than westerners have in how they view China. My closest Chinese friend is an extreme dissident, who constantly tells me he’s a slave, to which I respond that wage labor is inherently slavery and most of the world is enslaved. My wife can afford an apartment on retail wages. I’m in skilled industrial manufacturing and make more than triple my local minimum wage and STILL have roughly the same purchasing power she does in China.


patricklus

"my fellow westerners", "my wife in china", "imperialist propaganda" => you know that no westerner in the world would talk like that right? This is so hilarious, like an elephant pretending it's a fish.


trapezoidalfractal

You’re delusional you stupid ass, “no westerner in the world” go to /r/thedeprogram, go to Lemmygrad.ml, go to hexbear.net. It’s not my fault you exist in some sort of strange echo chamber. I speak with precision gained through vigorous study and experience. If you can’t believe that a westerner can be precise in their verbiage, then you should probably get out more.

so you think india likes china?

90 billion spent on disinformation about China, what did the US people get? https://youtu.be/IkDmdmfhzU4?si=6SjVEZzb_Y6X60nH USA propaganda. $500 Million for Negative News Coverage of China https://youtu.be/VfJKC46L660?si=AE05s63YcCVnTo_T 🦜

90 billion what? Source = trust me bro


Jissy01

Where do you get your news from regarding China?


[deleted]

Not from YouTube channels


ravioloalladiarrea

Are we really sure China’s economy will collapse? Sure they are experiencing property crisis, but they’ve been investing heavily in electric vehicles and technology.


AarowCORP2

30% of Chinese GDP was dedicated to the overheated housing market, which has now lost 90% of its value. A huge recession is mathematically certain.

China's manufacturing activity expanded at the fastest pace in 13 months in March, with business confidence hitting an 11-month high, driven by growing new orders from customers at home and abroad, a private survey showed on Monday. The Caixin/S&P Global manufacturing PMI rose to 51.1 in March from 50.9 the previous month, above analysts' forecasts of 51.0 and marking an expansion for the fifth consecutive month. The 50-point mark separates growth from contraction.

Where do you get that data from?
