"Chinas mining and processing of rare earth metals is the perfect example of how long-term oriented and patient you have to be with industrial policy: it started in the 1980s"

"This years Nobel Prize in Economics is a farce. Theres an entire field of innovation studies building on Schumpeters insights that actually explains innovation-driven economic growth. This field is full of brilliant economists. But apparently theyre considered too heterodox to be eligible for a Nobel Prize. I cant say Im surprised to see this though. This is what mainstream economics does: appropriate other schools of thought repackage their ideas unsatisfactorily and then hand itself a Nobel Prize for it"

"Heres my full take on the recent escalation in trade tensions between China and the US. China's trade restrictions and barriers in many ways mirror those of the US they are strategic and carefully calibrated responses. Beijing's recent and serious export controls are about sending an even stronger message to Washington than before essentially saying Stop trying to mess with us. Many people seem unaware that the US has targeted China with a series of trade restrictions in recent months. It seems like they are too technical or too small to be making big headlines. But they have pissed off"

"This utter bullshit by the CTO of Palantir Shyam Sankar needs to be called out. The US never offered China peaceful coexistence. The US wanted China subordinated. They wanted Chinas cheap labour inserted into their supply chains and its cheap goods to flow into the US market. The US actually got this extremely lucrative deal for decades draining value from the Chinese economy. Sankar says that No country did more for Chinese prosperity than America. In reality its closer to the opposite. The electronics giant Apple is the perfect case in point. Apple has made a fortune in China: $XXX billion"

"China faces regular accusations of 'flooding' foreign markets with clean energy products such as solar panels wind turbines EVs and batteries. China indeed dominates the global market for clean energy products: it manufactures about XX% of the worlds solar panels XX% of the worlds wind turbines XX% of the worlds EVs and XX% of the worlds batteries all at a lower cost than the West. In the middle of a climate emergency this is something we should celebrate rather than demonise. The accusation oddly seems to be that China is doing too much of something right"
