Retail Sales rose 6.4%, Manufacturing output rose 5.8% in May year-on-year (western tabloids saltily admit 'Overall, economists said the world’s second largest economy had weathered the threat of hikes in tariffs relatively well'. Please...obvious US impact on overall GDP negligible)

Trump ‘wouldn’t mind China joining G7’. EW. Gross. G7 means nothing without U.S. and China clearly doesn't need U.S. We should never complain about anti-China sentiment, they are so much worse when they want to be closer!

Repost: If China overcomes the chip problem, then chips will become worthless.

"The statement ‘If China overcomes the chip problem, chips will become worthless’ is true.

And it's also true that 'after chips become worthless, the income and benefits of Chinese chip industry workers will not reach the levels of their foreign counterparts, or at least won't increase significantly.'

However, this move will shift a large portion of the chip industry that was once overseas to China, creating hundreds of thousands of jobs in the country. That means hundreds of thousands of Chinese people will become chip engineers, earning salaries that, while not particularly high by foreign or even domestic standards, are already ten times better than their original fate — which might have been working on an assembly line in a garment factory, or even farming in their hometown.

At the same time, due to the plummeting price of chips, the global upstream and downstream industries that rely on chips will become more vibrant. Their demand will increase, generating more job opportunities — so that more people don’t have to work in garment factories, farm in rural villages, or serve as sex objects for white men in places like Thailand and the Philippines.

The suppressed labor market is enormous. It's like saving fish in a drying puddle. There are too many fish, far too many to save them all. But you keep saving them — because this one matters, and this one matters, and so does this one, and this one, and this one..."

Trump says EU not offering fair trade deal, Japan being 'tough' too: "We're talking, but I don't feel that they're offering a fair deal yet," Trump said. "They're either going to make a good deal or they'll just pay whatever we say they have to pay." (ahh, to be a US ally...bliss)
