The West Is Shooting Its OWN FOOT Trying To Isolate China | Warwick Powell

It would be funny, if it wasn't so tragic, that the Collective West believes it can somehow "contain" China or beat it into submission, when it is clearly Beijing that has the economic upper-hand in the global economic game. The best indication of that is how "decoupling" has spectacularly failed and the visit of Jennet Yellen to Beijing has been ample evidence that the US has lost most if not all global competitive advantage. At the same time, western policies are now hurting western economies more than the Chinese or Russians. But will they ever understand that it is their own policies that create local downturns?

    Janet Yellen will NEVER complain China’s overcapacity if China continues to export toys and clothing or any low-end products. Take motor vehicle, both combustion engine and electric vehicle, for example, We hear NO complain or concern for Japan who exports roughly 70+%, or German 60+% or South Korea 50+% of their annual gross production, but American are talking about China for its only 15% exports by year 2023. Global market competition is the only judge to decide if any enterprise can survive, and protectionism in the long run is only to deteriorate the competitiveness and destined for failure.

    Between 2006 and 2016, I spent a lot of time travelling around East Asia. Mainly Japan, but also China, Taiwan and S Korea. And even back then, all the talk was of China gradually pivoting away from exports, and creating its own 'middle class' who would have disposable income, and become domestic consumers. So one can see this was all planned out beforehand. (Off-topic, but did you see the Guardian had done an article praising the Azov Brigade? Calling them 'elite', and saying they would save Ukraine. I couldn't believe my eyes! It is/was hidden away in their 'Ukraine' section. No comments allowed. I have been a regular reader since the mid-1970s, and I never thought I'd see anything like that! They have blood on their hands - the blood of young Ukrainians).

Together with other priorities, China should concentrate on increasing its capability in nuclear power (Thorium molten salt reactor and Femtosecond Laser-Induced Aneutronic Lattice Confinement Fusion ) generation to reduce its dependency on coal and imported oil and gas. Unlimited energy and vertical farming will end China's food dilemma. All these capabilities will benefit the rest of the world.

    Conspicuously, China has transcended from a low tech manufacturing economy to become inarguably the new leader in Industry 4.0. It has moved ahead of the industrialised West in the integration of intelligent digital technologies into manufacturing and industrial processes encompassing industrial IoT networks, AI, Big Data, robotics, and automation. To Washington, that was not supposed to be. At least not in another ten to twenty years from now. That explains why Washington is doubling down on its efforts to slow down China. Clearly, to Washington the greatest leverage against its new found peer competitor will have to come from a collective approach involving its allies - accompanied by a collective, coordinated, and sustained effort - to isolate and to deny China the advanced and cutting-edge technology, as well as the access to the their markets. However, such belligerent denial strategy will not work. Instead it had actually speeded up China’s push towards innovation and technological self-reliance, as well as opening up new frontiers and markets for its affordable and high quality products. Truth be told, the so-called “Chip War” - the battle to control ostensibly the world’s most critical resources-microchip technology - has ended as soon as it started. Why do I say that? Simply put, China was contented to buy advanced chips “off the shelf”. But that was until Washington waged the so-called Chip War thinking, erroneously, that it will strangulate the Chinese. But instead of achieving that shallow goal, it backfired. It has actually serve as a catalyst to accelerate China’s transition to become the new leader in Industry 4.0.

    It always surprised me how silly and fantastical a lot of supposedly serious people in the west's view of their own development history was. Rooting it all in "liberal democratic" values never stood up to scrutiny. A lot of technological progress comes from iteration derived from industrial practice so it's unsurprising to me that China with it's huge industrial scale is also innovating very quickly. My understanding is they're still behind in cutting edge AI development? A lot of the Machine learning breakthroughs came through the US and UK. My understanding is China had a wake up call when AlphaGo came out and has invested a lot of resources into AI but is still playing catch up.

    Excellent comment. I only disagree with the following. "To Washington, that was not supposed to be. At least not in another ten to twenty years from now. " You had it right at first. The assumption was that the Chinese would remain in a subservient position, providing relatively cheap products to the West while the US continued to dominate the high-tech space. The Plaza Accord and the knee-capping of Japan's high-tech industries made it clear to those paying attention that the US would not allow a peer competitor to arise in the economic sphere. Sadly for the US, China's high-tech development was too fast and too resilient for the US' standard approach to do more than dent it. Huawei's recent string of successes, however, show that the dented vehicle of Chinese technological progress is still roaring down the road and won't be halted.

Scratch the surface, and you find that all is not well. Beside that, however, is the strange way in which the US in particular is pursuing AI. The focus is on the service market and marketing while China has chosen to focus on industrial and logistic uses. I suspect that China's focus will be more beneficial in terms of national power, while the Western approach will make some mega-corporations immensely wealthy.

    China's unique experience in modern industrialization during cold war period make it unprecedented. China started out its industrialization path with heavy industry (steel mill, oil refinery, armament...etc) aimed for military support (to USSR) during 1980 before contributing its multi-millions labor force to the globe with assembly and light industry after joining WTO by 2000. What China tried to offer to any developing country is an ad hoc industrialization policy depending upon the strength & abundance of resource (physical and human) ownership and state-level financial capability. You can be an expert in type-specific agriculture plantation or mineral retraction first and then move up to the value-added chain for manufacturing integration.

    Without traveling much, but a bit, and reading, one can get a decent picture. Hegemonic trade pattern is that most of imports and exports are to and from hegemon, and hegemon dominates production of goods with highest added value. E.g. the trade of Rome with neighbors EXCEPT Persia. Quasi--hegemon may mediate a trade, but without dominance in production, and that tends to be unstable, Portugal and Spain had quasi-hegemon position for relatively brief time, but as mediators, they were by-passed by Netherlands, subsequently by Britain. So this time the collective West is a bit like Spain ca. 1600 or Netherlands ca. 1670: production of most profitable goods declined through outsourcing, so it uses military dominance to maintain the mediator position, but that military balance follows production too with some delay. That raises a point what is the good strategy for a declining power? A declined power can have a comfortable existence, Netherlands did not become destitute after loosing to England, but that requires a strategy that does not put all eggs in the basket of military domination -- which is futile.

    Has it? India is already realigning with the west given border tensions with China and their activity in the South China Sea. Russias economy is struggling due to a needless war it started. There is also already contention about the direction to take BRICS (mostly coming from Brazil). Either way we shall see what happens but the idea that countries which largely still subsist on foreign investment and trade from "the west" (predominantly the EU and the USA) are a threat to it is. ... well a little silly. I am half British half Brazilian so I dont have a dog in this fight. But I suggest examining your bias because pride cometh before the fall.

    ...The "bed was made: by traitorous politicians & businessmen, plus others who sold-out a way of life that was superior to any other worldwide, including yours! 0Biden is a puppet of the Clinton/0bama Syndicate, disciples of the "Cloward-Piven Strategy". Westerners didn't make a bed. They were betrayed...🤔😳 Brics took off as planned by 0biden's sanctions.

    As if it hasn't saddled itself with enough other problems, due to the huge amount of debt and derivatives both domestically and internationally, the U.S. is on an irreversible course toward runaway inflation and, eventually, total government bankruptcy. This will become increasingly evident throughout the 2020s and probably culminate sometime in the early 2030s. What will happen then? The reason I said that China will 'drag the west kicking and screaming into the 21st century' is that I think something like the following will develop: The U.S. will be in terrible shape - but it has some assets that are worthwhile to the world economy - a large landmass with natural resources, extensive (although aging and in need of refurbishment) infrastructure, some tech expertise remaining, some educational facilities remaining, a fairly large and heterogeneous population, etc....the stuff of any formerly 1st world country. It's also an increasingly dangerous neck of the woods to leave with a bunch of nukes sitting around. It's bordered by Canada and Mexico - large countries resource-wise in their own right, and has connections with Europe, Australia, etc. I mention these attributes because I think that China and the Global South will see the U.S. not only as a danger, but also as a potential asset to the world economy. Once the U.S. finds itself in trouble and finally capitulates to reality - which is unavoidable - if the Global South can extend some 'tough love' and work with this newly cooperative America to get it on its feet and being productive, they will see that as preferable to having it continue as some sort of chaotic rogue state. I can see agreements being implemented which the U.S. will not be able to refuse, stabilizing the money, extending loans, building infrastructure, etc. These will involve binding conditions wherein China et al can be assured that they will benefit from what America has left of itself. Unlike the west, China, the BRICS+ and its sister organisations do not waste time with false ideologies - they're pragmatic and forward looking. Once the west's money and bullying ability has disappeared and it can't beat 'em, it'll join 'em. That will be 'the only game in town'.

    I'm disappointed that this podcast never touched on issues regarding the (social/political/economic) predicaments faced by the Chinese population. Is it not true that the Chinese people have been and still are being routinely abused and exploited by their government in all sorts of ways? Could all those accounts I hear of -- organ harvesting, Uighur Muslim labor camps etc -- be _fabrications_ by Westerners with ill intentions? If not, then what should the West do regarding these? Turn a blind eye and continue doing business with China as usual? Such questions are not entirely irrelevant to economic concerns. If the Chinese people eventually get sufficiently pissed with the CCP and actually stage a successful coup, how will that affect Chinese society and China's economy, and for that matter the global economy?
