In comparison with the Orange and his billionaire boys even Kim Jong Un running North Korea is more stable and certain.

Hah. Your comment caused an image to flash through my brain of what it would be like if Kim Jong Un ruled China, and it was about as absurd as this Trump administration is.

Buy made in China and you pay twice. Most people may have forgotten it but I remember the dragged out supply shortages due to their idiotic and inhumane pandemic policies while denying the pandemic started there and claiming they have everything under control (they didn’t). They’ve proven to be unrealiable which has prompted a world wide process of diversifying supply chains. Trump is an angry lunatic but that doesn’t mean we have to settle with the next worse thing just because it’s quick and easy. There is a whole world out there.

Kind of my thought. China (or any single country as your supplier) isn’t great for national security, but damn Trump for making that option look so palatable.

Yeah, for the EU, China will have to open up its economy for open and fair competition, get rid of its IP sharing requirements and stop manipulating the Renminbi to keep it artificially low. Even then it should be quota based to stop them from dumping practices to take out local competitors.

Man, it would be really cool if we could just take them at their word. Unfortunately that’s not the world we live in.

zenpocalypse@lemm.ee on 15 Apr 23:21 collapse

It’s not, but the world we live in now also means countries can’t take the US at their word.

This opportunity to look good was handed to China on a silver platter.

China’s getting a bit aggressive though atm. Not as bas as the US, but still not exactly ‘free’ for the countries involved.
