You walk into a restaurant and see this…. what are you doing?

@S6IFEeIijptExPr No dude. Only East Asian economies went through rapid growth and industrialisation.
And even still, China is an exception for being ~2x as fast.
English
@Bluebearmonkey This perfectly illustrates my point. Every economy goes through a period of rapid growth or industrialization; China is no exception.
English
China increased household consumption more than any other economy… all 192 of them. Every. Single. One… outperformed by a country mile. Twice as fast as second place Asian Tigers.
Maybe you could have done a better job… but burden of proof is on you.

If devaluing the yuan and limiting household share of GDP don’t make China more competitive then why have they been doing it for decades? Assuming, arguendo, that China is just vastly more competitive no matter what, then it would clearly be better to let the yuan appreciate and boost household share of gdp so Chinese citizens can buy all sort of fancy stuff from abroad, take nicer vacations, etc.

Clients paid my firm ~$10,000 an hour for my time.
How much do you charge?

@Bluebearmonkey Even attempting to compare the scale of economies across different sectors using PPP is a sign of utter ignorance—let alone comparing entire economies. It is an extremely unprofessional practice.

@KnoxGroyp America is struggling economically because wypipos are deadweight I have to carry.
Blue Bear@Bluebearmonkey
Whenever wypipos say dumbass shit like re-industrialise, innovation economy, onshoring manufacturing, rebuild military arsenal. What they mean is they want me to do something about it. Sorry. There just aren’t enough of me to go around.

I hate being lectured by an immigrant on why Americans are struggling economically.
Maybe look in the mirror.

@Bluebearmonkey It is true that in 2018, China was roughly on par with other economies, but that was not the case in 2008. Using 2008—rather than 2018—as the baseline year (Y0) is unreasonable.

@S6IFEeIijptExPr I was head of HK/China research at a major investment bank and a number 1 ranked analyst for years.
And you are… oh nobody?

@Bluebearmonkey If your clients are paying for your views on China's economic development over the past 20 years, I feel they aren't getting their money's worth. The whole company would be better off just having a seafood feast instead.

@Bluebearmonkey You’re leaving out the amount of money your clients lost listening to you

@CaoHuangDi This is one of those +30 IQ point difference conversations.

I posted charts that any cognisant person can conclude that China exports moving up the value chain is driven almost entirely by the Global South.
You’re jess not smart enough to read charts.

@Bluebearmonkey @materialcontext @michaelxpettis I like how you go on these random tirades in a desperate attempt to distract from the fact that your sloppy propaganda attempt got called out

Bloomberg: "Beijing has been open to exploring how to increase imports from the EU but less keen to find ways to tame its own exports. Both are key to the EU given the vast trade gap as well as China’s market barriers and moderate consumption levels."

@S6IFEeIijptExPr What I’m saying China grew ~2x as fast as Asia Tiger economies at same level of development.

@mothdreamer If the US wants to reindustrialise and eliminate critical dependency on China, then wypipos need to learn mafs.
English
@Bluebearmonkey My disagreement is that 'doesn't need to do mafs' is a better description than 'can't do mafs'. The US has fewer jobs that need mafs, and has been able to rely on importing maf talents. So the top non-immigrant kids can focus on law, business, finance, etc.
English
Nobody… NOBODY!!! … dares point out the vulnerability at the heart of the U.S. economy more profound that stoopid minerals and pharmaceutical ingredients.
It’s upstream of everything…
Wypipos can’t do mafs.
If that is not fixed, everything will die on the vine.

“There is a vulnerability at the heart of the U.S. economy so profound it imperils our national sovereignty, and most Americans have no idea it exists. The public is well aware of China’s manufacturing dominance. The scale is alarming, yet it is not the real danger. The deeper, more insidious vulnerability is that China has secured control over a narrow set of manufacturing chokepoints that the entire U.S. industrial base relies on to function.” My latest report for @commonplc breaks down the mechanics of this leverage and the national security logic behind US industrial policy: open.substack.com/pub/commonplac…

@Bluebearmonkey and yet it's roughly commensurate to the amount of real jobs that need top level maf skills
Why should a given society produce so many kid math whizzes when its job market doesn't need that many?
English
@S6IFEeIijptExPr Huh? I’m flat out telling you the base wasn’t low.
I’ve been in this bidness for decades.

@Bluebearmonkey I don't think so. I feel it is neither overrated nor underrated. Furthermore, the point you're making has absolutely nothing to do with China's low baseline—let's stick to the facts.
English
Despite my comments about China and its allies, it’s the only industrialized country that I know that treats Africa as a serious market. A lot of African hospitals are getting their first modern medical equipment from China while the Western medtech giants ignore the continent.
Uche Perkins, Sr.@JustAFamilyMan_
I am circumspect with Chinese involvement on the continent. In some ways, they have been a net positive, because they pour resources for infrastructure projects and also provide Africans with affordable goods that would normally be out of reach from hi-tech appliances and EVs.

@davidpattersonx @pmarca How does an LLM not get all the IQ test questions right? 🤔
IQ tests are invalid if test takers study and do multiple practice tests.
That’s all LLMs do.
