How much it cost: attempt to became economy #1:

1970: China fertility rate 6.08 India 5.62 US 2.48.

2022: India 2.01 US 1.66 China 1.18 (!!!)

I am not a fan of the US. Perhaps more neutral than a fan.

But. In this case, according to the standards of market economy: sorry, but it is not the US's fault.

Dumping: it is not very good for the economy. There are even some attempts, unsuccessful, to use laws against it.

And this is the standard: other market players will be happy to destroy those who use dumping. Maybe it is even their duty.

I think it is time to re-evaluate the figure of Mao. He was wiser than he seems.

The anti-dumping strategy, when dumping is allowed, but not for obtaining final preferences, is based on the simplest fact: if someone has accumulated a lot of money, it does not mean that you necessarily have to sell. Especially if you have a good weapon.

Now Mr. Trump says that he has the best and most secret weapon in the world. And we understand better. How he impressed Melania. On the other hand: Iran also said something similar.

But if we look at the level of open work, including unclassified military developments: if you are an optimist in relation to people' mentality - then maybe somewhere in the Nevada desert. Underground. The best students of Feynman are sitting. And doing something real. In a deep secret.

"Hollywood is wildly dependent on the Chinese market. It is the largest market on the planet. And on production too. Hollywood has long been eager to enter China, considering it not only as a rental market, but also as business partners," he said.

Therefore, China's refusal to cooperate with American cinema will be a powerful blow to Hollywood, the expert believes.

"This is one of the most effective measures that China can take. They can reduce not only rentals, but also their share in the production of films," he continued.

Your life, guys, is really interesting. I am worried about the birth rate in China. I seem to be anti-Chinese.

You are worried about Chinese financing of films. You seem to be pro-Chinese.

Or you are just mixing. Films and life.

But in my opinion: high tariffs are good for both the US and China. China will focus on its demographic catastrophe. The US will bring back some jobs from China. American became too lazy. Also less freight: that means less CO2 emissions.

Our views on rational behavior: depend critically on the ontology we endorse. On our assumptions about the world. For example. If you believe that after your life the only outcome will be children and property for them: that's one version. But if you suspect. That the main outcome will be your additional skills. For future lives. Then, also being selfish: you might prefer to be, for example, a laborer. It might be more advantageous in your personal situation.

"The escalation of trade tensions between the US and China poses a significant risk of a sharp decline in bilateral trade. Our preliminary estimates suggest that trade between the two economies could fall by as much as 80%... Of particular concern is the potential fragmentation of international trade along geopolitical lines. The division of the global economy into two blocs could lead to a long-term reduction in world real GDP by almost 7%," said WTO Director-General Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala.

Unfortunately, using criteria like GDP is illegal. This criterion does not include producing of humans.

But according to chapter 2 of Genocide Convention:

"In the present Convention, genocide means any of the following acts

committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical,

racial or religious group, as such:

(a) Killing members of the group;

(b) Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group;

(c) Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to

bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part;

(d) Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group;

(e) Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group."

Using of GDP is illegal according to second part of point (b)

"Causing serious ... mental harm to members of the group".

Real goal of economics is producing of humans. There are no other rational goal. If you not agree: OK, you better may produce drugs. Same result but cheaper and faster.

As it well-known, before Mao China had a serious problem with drugs. After losing of "opium wars" under slogans of "free trade". And it is Mao eliminated these previous results of free trade China with the West.

According to this data: now the US population is 24% of China's population. But in 75 years: China's population will be 45% of today's, and the US: 122% of today's, and will be 67% of China's population.

In addition, this will be a significant aging of China's population.

Oh yeah. By then: only robots will work. And they will be very efficient. Especially Chinese robots. It will be much better than in the US. If you believe American experts.

There are two approaches: listen to what someone says. Or see what he does.

There are no "market rules" that magically lead to prosperity. The rules are very simple. If you don't want to buy, you won't buy.

Let's say, for example, China offers the US desktop computers and Apple phones. But the US already has plenty of them. In every family. Okay, they're a little old, but they're fully functional.

If Americans decide to trust a professional businessman to deal with these unnecessary goods: that's okay. It shouldn't be an extraordinary event.

If China wants to dominate: OK. There are no magic rules either. Let them demonstrate. That there are some advantages in greater social control. They can increase the birth rate. In 9 months. Many "dictators" in history have done this, in one or two years.

It will give to CPC much more preferences, then an attempts to sell unnecessary cell phones.

"China Halts Critical Exports as Trade War Intensifies"

I am a pacifist. And this situation makes me happy.

It seems China just proposed. To be the world leader in AI. Very good. But the world needs to test that AI. Let the Chinese AI give detailed instructions. How to increase the birth rate of the Chinese at least twice. These instructions will be tested experimentally. This will be the best advertisement for the Chinese AI.
