  • I mean yes, they’ve stolen a lot of IP. Much of it was not transferred legally. They have a state run industrial and commercial spying program and have for decades - just like Russia.

    Look up ‘tofu dreg’ construction.

    It’s not western capitalists getting rich off this, it’s unscrupulous Chinese factory owners and industry magnates.

    If the ME doesn’t matter because hydrocarbons don’t matter, why are Russia and China bound by them? Isn’t Russia in even deeper trouble since most of their hard currency is from exporting hydrocarbons?

    When is the world being more destabilized than today and by who? Is the world stable right now?

    Who is the financial outlook fragile for?

    What are the impacts of climate change and demographics over the next decade?
