    When liberals cry about wanting freedom for us, they actually mean the freedom to be deprived of basic necessities and to be enslaved wholesale by western pigs once again

    Let me see if I get it straight, I have not finished the text yet but I wanna make sure that I’m understanding it right, since I don’t understand business speech. But if I got it correctly it says, that those savings do not come from households, so it’s either big corporations or the state itself, and they have saved just under the US and EU together, which means, china is spending less on their development, in fact significantly less, and is growing more and more stable than the west. Is that the takeaway of the first part?

    According to the IMF, China generated 28 per cent of total global savings in 2023. This is only a little less than the 33 per cent share of the US and EU combined. That is quite extraordinary. It also has several implications. One is that if China were an open market economy, its capital markets would be the biggest in the world. Another is that how these savings are managed is likely to be the most important single determinant of global interest rates and the global balance of payments.

      Damn, this is a sleazy little sneaky line right here.

      “If China were more heavily exploited, those savings would be funneled directly into the profits of western corporations instead of just sitting in their bank accounts.”

    I mean they’ve done this before… a quick invasion, taking of a treaty port, and a whole lot of opium
