"I'm not gonna lie that part of this was just my sheer stupidity in the early years though now I can spot them pretty well but I enjoy seeing the number of people that tried to recruit me in some manner either arrested for espionage or outed as CCP stooges"

"Excuse my rant for a moment. I have basically been black balled by polite society when it comes to anything China which honestly I am ok with except for the fact that these people keep recommending the most moronic policies imaginable. Let me break it down for you. People regularly translate China as Middle Kingdom and to people outside of China that sounds like middle as in the middle seat in a row. In reality middle in this instance is better translated as center like the sun in a solar system. That is how China views itself: the center around which all other pay fealty and are subservient."

"Here is the problem with the reporting. Just recently the WSJ was reporting that Trump was preparing to cave with China offering a deal. This isn't the move of a country expecting the United States to cave. This is the move of a country trying to force a concession not one expecting a concession"

"The absurd part about what Ohtani did last night is look at the pitches he hit for home runs. They were all good pitchers pitches. One of them wasn't even close to being a strike. The pitchers weren't leaving meatballs. Then look at the strikeouts. Fabulous pitches. He wasn't just throwing it hard down the middle and they were missing. Just artistry on the mound"

"Notice the framing and why this is important: this is the language China uses to describe the US. One thing the Trump administration has done is a) play good cop bad cop and b) use Chinese style language on China. You can debate whether or not it is good etc but very clear what the strategy is"

"When I tell you how bad journalists are at their job it isn't because I want journalists to be nicer or more critical of anyone or thing. You want to lead a No Kings rally have fun kids. I criticize journalists because they are just terrible at their foundational job of stating truth. Take the Nexperia/Wingtech case in the Netherlands as the perfect example. Literally all sides of the dispute agree and have filed documents that agree on the basic facts of why the Dutch government acted: Wingtech was asset stripping Nexperia. Literally all sides agree on this foundational point and that this"

"Xi has been at undeclared civil war with the military since he arrived in 2012. This might be the the only time I will say this but Xi is probably right on many levels here. However strong evidence Xi is the more hawkish than the PLA and this means specifically with regards to Taiwan"

"This is one of the issues. Because total debt is up almost XX% but producer prices are down almost X% debt to GDP isn't as good a metric because debt is repaid with cash flow. Real debt going up much faster. The second is this and will have much faster and significant impact. China has rotated a lot of debt financed assets into much shorter term assets. Think of it like this. Assume I build a road with a XX year pay back period. I have XX years before I have to pay that back. Now assume a specialized piece of equipment that might have X years. You are rotating duration to shorter term assets"
