It was you that initially "corrected" the headline

It would've been correct either way

If I didn't read theory and be a lib, I'd write the same. How does the NATO boot taste?

China doesn’t give a fuck what high income countries think about them because we still buy their shit anyway.

Good.

They care about the middle and lower income countries, though, because they can exploit minorities and pay lower income to outsource to them

Guys did you know that China does business with developing countries, just to exploit the minorities??

(which is crazy considering how little they pay their own laborers).

China doesn't have a finacial capitalist class that could "lobby" the government to "find new markets" as their banks are nationalized. They also don't install puppets in foreign governments that shape policy for surplus value extraction or impose capitalism. Please consider reading theory

The coping and seething of the government taking action to a reported food scandal was more fun to read in the CNN article. They even admitted in the piece that you can freely criticize the government in China on social media lol

Yet a video that is 11 years old is still reposted

Taiwan is internationally recognized by ~13 states and the UK is not one or them (Reuters HQ). Taiwan is part of China, which is recognized by the UK, therefore the headline is correct..

They don’t trust it, they just have no other figures to work off.

That's why they publish it. Not like there are (western adaptations of) the Li Keqiang Index

1. At least have the decency to post the archive link https://archive.md/sgBQK
2. Youth unemployment in the article:

Calculating the actual employment rate is complex and it’s plausible the government decided the changing nature of the economy and labor patterns means their current model isn’t accurately reflecting reality.

Obtuse way to say that the category 16-24 olds are studying and not part of the labour force

3. Landsales: Communists don't like speculation with real estate and land. Shocker. Not like they've been announcing a shift away from real estate to EV/Solar Panels/etc.
4. Currency Reserves, Bond Transactions, Academic Information, Politicians' Biographies:

President Xi Jinping’s ideological battle with the US has also motivated Beijing to ringfence data it believes could advantage the Biden administration.

Based.

A 15 year trend of growth on average no matter how you measure it: market cap, number of nodes, transaction volume, transaction capacity, etc.

If you think that's the critique of bitcoin then you have been blinded by techbros optimizim on the tech. Also it's funny how you wave away bitcoin using up 1% of global electricity usage lol
