One of the many challenges caused by China

It was already shown that trading with liberal countries lead to empoverishment (see the post about the use of inflation ensuring that liberals sell less and less for a rather steady price, their main achievement down this path would be to monetize mud pies)

On the side, China over the past decades has massively improved the quality of their industrial goods offer. Over the years, for a steady price, they have managed to provide higher and higher quality products for a similar price.

Which means that when trading with China, one will get richer and richer. By Adam Smith's tenets, this makes China the trade partner of choice.

When considering that a large part of humanity is lagging behind in terms of material comfort, this adds quite a lot of weight over liberal nations and what they could offer to one 6/7th of humanity.

China is the way to the Dark Side....suffering...

China is a factory….they don’t have the consumer. The model is export and build more infrastructure. Part two of that formula is no longer workable…so they are struggling. Any tariff effect on China the factory could be devastating and possibly dangerous. But Trump’s team knows this.

Slave factory.

Non sense. Liberals consider they have an inborn moral high ground. Dark side for whom? Suffering for whom?

Another liberal dip in denial. China has of course a consumer base. There are like 300 million chineses ready to embrace middle class level of consumption.

What China is lacking is control over the trade routes necessary to feed their economy. That is all.

White people fast global expansion left them with the control over trade routes globally and therefore in a position to strangle China. A few years ago, as China opened a naval base in East Africa, the US military declared that China opened a base too close to the US borders, betraying the thought pattern.

The interest of liberal nations in Taiwan or Greenland is nothing other than that, control over trade routes.

Slave factory.

Always comical to read that from liberals when they are the ones who re introduced slavery in Europe.

Butn hey, blacks in the US should be grateful to have been held in slavery so they are born in the US and condemned to live a life of debt. That's is the light side for Liberals.

The US and Europe abolished slavery two centuries ago...that chip on your shoulder is weighing you down and keeping you back...shame.

Ah, that has been too long since that chip story came up. Liberals assumed that people must belong to this or that group to state things.

Repeating it again: slavery was banned in most of Europe when the movement that grew into shaping liberal thoughts and ideas re introduced it in european societies. Liberalism is born out of slavery and using human beings as capital.

There is no slavery in China, this kind of massive distortion shows once again liberal attitude toward their slaver past. They keep cheapening slavery.

"There is no slavery in China, this kind of massive distortion shows once again liberal attitude toward their slaver past. They keep cheapening slavery."

Slavery takes on many shapes and forms... freedom should be more than that.

Living in a dictatorship can be regarded as a form of slavery.

Slavery is slavery, and it is been a long time liberals have lost the possibility to oppose freedom to slavery.

Before the rise of liberalism, in Europe, it was commonly thought that free societies were societies no one was held in slavery as freedom was opposed to slavery, a free person was a person not hald in slavery.

Liberals came up with another perception, a government that prevented people from owning slaves was coercive and restricting freedom.

For liberals, owning slaves is freedom. 

Living in a dictatorship can be regarded as a form of slavery.

Millions lived as slaves in liberal societies. Racism being ingrained in liberal minds, it is supposed that they quickly skip that little fact easily as slavery in liberal societies was racially based.
