Sure I do bro. I'm way older that you @UW_Doog_Bot and when I was a little So Cal kiddie skiing at Deer Valley many of the train signs were in both Engrish and Japanese. But there's a big there's a big difference between the Japanese and Ze Chermans buying up the US in the 1980's and China now. Both Japan and Germany were close allies and Japan to this day still isn't independent from the US in terms of its foreign policy.UW_Doog_Bot said:YellowSnow said:

My only hope on this point, and mind you I'm rooting for Team America not Trump, is that as Race said, why hasn't he just inked the deal already? The Chinese are willing to promise pie in the sky bullshit to make everyone look like a winner so long as none of it needs to be followed up on or enforced.CirrhosisDawg said:

My hope is that Trump's advisers already know this, and know they have the CCP by the balls atm, and aren't willing to settle for a symbolic win before the election campaign starts.
I do admire your advocacy for an all-out trade war to break China. Trump doesn’t have the intelligence or ability to wage it though.
Edit: Point of clarity, I want to see the CCP broken, not China. Ideally the CCP gets forced into a corner where they have to accept two party elections and systematic reform with minimal bloodshed. The CCP is an enemy. The Chinese People are not.
What's your take @UW_Doog_Bot on Chiner and them being so far ahead of us in 5G?
Also see the above scenario, Hauwei will be in for a world of hurt if China goes into recession or is forced to actually respect IP for a plethora of reasons.
God I hope you're right. China and the CCP with telecom and microchip is scaring the fucking out of me.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3bqCPDYxft4
The CCP has over reached. Remember when we were worried about ze Germans? or the Japanese? buying up the US? -
I'm just saying that eventually both(and especially Japan) fell back down to earth and were forced to deal with economic realities after their "miracles".YellowSnow said:

While there's a whole lot of Chinese money going into real estate around the globe atm last I checked figures for the US housing market still peg foreign investment at less than 5% of total. (Realistically who fucking knows though, see the panama papers)
China is a house of cards but who in their right mind invested in China as anything other than a high risk proposition? They don't even actually recognize property rights after all.
China is also only the second largest market, by a long ways at that, as opposed to the US, plus European debt doesn't look so tied to it. The Chinese market can definitely effect foreign markets, but not remotely the way the US market does globally.
Then you also need to figure out if China dips into recession is that going to cause further monetary flight from China that may offset the decrease in total available demand from China.
Then figure out if the CCP is going to survive a recession or not. Who fucking knows?
My non-expert opinion is we will see an extended global slump as China enters a prolonged hangover as all of the stage 2 effects of its economic revolution begin to materialize. I think structurally though, the US is in a better position than it was in 2008 and while you might see markets take a fairly large downward adjustment initially from a lack of foreign demand most of the long term economics still look sound enough; labor participation(despite what hondo thinks), demographics, no significant over leveraged markets, interest rates have room to move, etc.
*shrug just what I'm hearing out here. Don't twist.
I've got cocktail party material here for weeks. Shits going to make me look good.
[Some other guy]: We can't fuck with China. Do you realize how important they are to the global economy? They can crush us any time they want.
[Creep]: Well, let me lay some knowledge on you Kojak.
It's a common misconception encouraged by various players but yeah, China owns a small percentage of our overall debt and is ultimately pretty meaningless to demand for US treasuries. I just went through that conversation with another(highly educated) coworker. -

No, I don't like septic systems because they're antiques that frequently cause problems with adjoining land, leading to litigation and needless expenses, while restricting or de-valuing developable properties, which in turn costs me time and money better spent in other ways to improve humanity.2001400ex said:
