Population shrinking and the economy isn't awesome.

The article specifically mentions how they're still struggling, and will be for a while, with their terrible "Who needs female babies" strategy.

The worst part of your prediction is that if you're right, you'll never get to brag about it.

Identity bit. Problem solved.

But it will never exist, so social media continues to be poison.

Chinese firms are forming their own armies.

Per the article, this is state sponsored and you should think of them like our National Guard.

Some Wang is worried about effect of U.S. trade policy on China's technology development.

The fuck are you going on about Wang? All of China's best technology development is being done in countries around the world. You just haven't stolen it yet.

US looking to close another China trade loophole.
The Biden administration announced new steps on Friday to curtail what it calls the “overuse and abuse” of a longstanding trade law that permits low-value shipments to enter the United States without paying import duties and processing fees.

The steps include a new rule proposal, which would bar overseas shipments of products that are subject to U.S.-China tariffs from being eligible for the special customs exemption.

Known as the de minimis loophole, the trade provision allows packages with a value of less than $800 to enter the United States with relatively little scrutiny. Over the past decade, the number of de minimis shipments has exploded, from roughly 140 million to more than a billion, according to a White House estimate.

I wish our government would recognize it as such.

The one thing AOC and I agree upon, well besides that she would sleep with me given the chance, is that Congress is full of a lot of old people who don't understand technology.

Chinese ship possibly deliberately destroyed two Euro underwater data cables.

At what point does the world start doing something about China? Asking for a friend.
