Look, i believe everyone knows that i like China (at least to some degree). But the China of late is starting to piss me off.
Who do they think they are? Shooting missiles in the air, threatening us with big bad Russia as their ally, blustering over Taiwan?
I saw that China was upset that we sent a Congressional group over to Taiwan simply to look into the supply chain issue. Who the f--- does China think they are?
Has no one told China where they stand in the world of globanomics? Has no one read my new book, Globanomics, in China? I am sure there are at least a few higher ups in the Chinese government who read English. Even a slow reader could get through Globanomics in a day. So, what is going on here?
Is China just doing a "hissy-fit"? Refusing to succumb to the globanomic facts? If so, Biden needs to tell them to get it out of their system. We want China to join our coalition, but they are not going to get to if they keep their complaining and threatening up. There is more than one way to build a Great Wall around China. An invisible wall would even be stronger than the one China currently has.
Oh, and this Russia-China thing. Somebody needs to talk to Putin, too. If Putin thinks he can incorporate Ukraine within his web, someone needs to tell him that he would have better luck with that if he cozied up to Europe in lieu of China. China won't help him a bit in his effort to capture Ukraine. The same holds true about Taiwan--Russia cannot help China one iota with that either.
Look, it's the people of a recognized country who decide who they want to be associated with in globanomics. In globanomics, countries cannot simply decide to absorb another country into its sphere without due process, which does not include war. War is antithetical to globanomics. Hasn't anyone read the book? Maybe someday, Ukraine will choose to be part of Russia. Maybe someday, Taiwan will choose to be part of Ukraine. But that someday is not yet today. Live with it, Russia and China. Be patient and be good globanomic players, Russia and China. Who knows what will happen along the lines of your desires in the future? You get a lot more bees with honey than you do with vinegar.
ps. BTW, globanomics has always assumed Russia was part of Europe, not China. The Russia-Europe thing makes ten times as much sense in globanomics than this Russia-Chinese thing. Not that i am worried about Russia-China, it just simply makes more sense the globanomic way.
ps2. Here is what Russia brings to the "world's business table". Russia accounts for approximately $0.6 Trillion of Global 2000 market value. That compares to the U.S.'s $37.4 Trillion, the rest of Europe's $14.5 Trillion, and China's $10.2 Trillion. And i haven't even mentioned what our Asia-Pacific allies bring to the table.
I think China simply likes to flex its muscles now and then to show the world that no one can boss them around.
