Hello, I've been watching many videos about China. In Short- China is corrupt from top to bottom. From everyone ripping off each other off, stealing, polluted water, Tofu-Dreg everywhere, social unrest and economic decline to population loss. China is headed to collapse and revolution. How this will play out geopolitically is uncertain. I just found you so I'll be subscribing and checking out your videos. Do more videos on China if you see fit . Thanks.

honestly its just the west being dellusional, the rest of the world will continue to globalise and trade regardless of the economic suicide the US and EU is committing. just because we are not "highlighted" in the map, doesn't mean we don't exist. the west continuing to treat us as if we don't exist, forces us to trade with the only side that treat us as if we exist... surely you can see that?

There is a big flaw in the video. I stop watching after that. The standard narrative is that the "west" is trying to make the world be more equal economically in the liberalization era. This cannot be further from the truth. The west have in mind what global trade is suppose to be: 1. Trade between nations is done by "western firms", the main actors. 2. The high value added industries are in the west, while low skill, low tech, and resource extraction is done in the rest. 3. Cheap production base for western firms, and cheap goods for western consumers. This is very hard to accept if you are China, or Russia and any developing economies. Why is it that they have to always occupt the lower end of the value chain? Most countries have higher aspiration than being factory workers, and producing cheap goods. China has been doing this for decades, but they now want to start making higher value goods, and this scared the west. This is why we have a trade war.

Interesting that you did not mention a fourth category of those who will benefit from increased fragmentation. That category is labor. Increased fragmentation will lead to increased re-shoring. While I've been hoping for more re-shoring than I'm seeing, I'd recommend looking and exploring this question as to the ongoing trends. For instance, there is already a requirement for data centers (and hence the technicians) to be located in countries that serve the customers of the corresponding databases; or at least be located in "friendly"/aligned countries.

@@TheGroovyJones There isn't a ton of cheap labor left in the world to near shore. Yeah, Mexico is cheaper, but surprisingly not a cheaper than America, and if we nearshored even half of our imports from China to Latin America, it would probably end up making the US even more cost-competitive. Cost of labor per hour really isn't the only factor. There are also things like labor output per hour (quite high in America), energy costs, land costs, regulatory costs, political risks, etc. Mexico more cost-competitive than America for some things, but not by a lot, and in the last decade, America was actually the most competitive economy globally for most economic activity.

I wanted to hear more about the impacts on the US economy and the ideas of “friend-shoring” advocated for by the New Idealist school of geopolitics. I.e. - if allies are too dependent on geopolitical rivals (Germany to China and Russia), then countries like Canada might weaken some of their regulatory barriers to some activities/raw materials specifically for those allies in order to ween them off of rivals. That would reorient trade, not necessarily reduce it, and concentrate additional wealth in new/unexpected places. Also, growth in the Global South is still possible while decoupling from China, and that is precisely the area going through the demographic explosion while China/Russia are dramatically declining in population.

"Many people claim it was completely laissez faire and the government played no role" Well, we know this wasn't the case because the US allowed for slavery which was enforced through the government. With the 3/5ths compromise, that gave agrarian slave states like Virginia more sway in government policies than it otherwise would have. Then we have the Civil War with the industrialization being a key benefit in the North, with Lincoln starting the Trans-Continental Railroad during the war. Obviously, those rails would be placed around the more populous industrial centers, giving them an edge compared to less populated areas. It would be ignorant to say "Government played no role" because this was such a huge investment for infrastructure, directly benefiting some more than others. The question that would be curious to ask is not "Did government play a role?" but "How much of a role did it play?".

If we take 2017 as a turning point where the U.S started to move away from policies promoting globalization and free trade. From then to the present day the U.S economy hasn't particularly suffered with solid job creation and strong wage growth even with Covid disrupting everything. Add in what the EU is doing post-Covid and their economies aren't doing half bad (relatively) as well, even with energy supplies cut. That's not a causal effect of course but it is an open question whether promoting unrestricted free trade really benefits *developed* countries by making the proverbial pie bigger, or does it just open up the pie to be taken by developing countries instead.

I myself for almost a year did 30-35 hours awake "days"(compared to the typical of 16-17 hours awake days) and you can feel and look fine if you sleep hours reletive on your time awake. Note that aspects of your eating is also important. Whether your fasting or running on a recent meal can drasticly change how your body feels about long days. Smaller more frequent meals make longer days drastically more easy than big meals. Especially when you dont eat extra times if you are awake for extra time. Which you commonly see with people who have designated 2-3 meals a day that ignore how long they have been awake for. And lastly if you are having a long day try to isolate yourself from the sun. Its easier to feel ok with a long day disconnected from sunrises and sunsets.

Finally, a new video from my fav channel
Data is sort of questionnable. Particularly during the "first wave of globalization". Did "trade openess," measured by imports and exports, simply increase naturally over time as economies could simply produce more goods(due to the industrial revolution and technology in general) and thus trade more goods? It is possibly a mischaracterization to use imports and exports to measure trade openness. In other words, states may have simply had more excess goods to trade due to technology increasing output, and thus traded more, but were not necessarily more "open" or willing to trade with each other
Why are you calling them the axis? That seems like poisoning the well off the bat.

I know it can have negative connotations. But, to my knowledge the name is neutral and refers to a geographic axis (originally the Italy Germany axis).

@@MoneyMacro Yeeeah... unfortunately its actually well known use in such contexts was initially coined as an 'axis of facism', and has been used quite often, loudly, and publically in the form 'axis of evil'. As a name for an alliance of nations it was never neutral. At it's most neutral it was explicitly a term used by facist leaders/propaganda to refer to the alliance of Italy and Germany in ww2. it's only got worse from there. It's reasonably neutral in general, as a description, right up until you use it as a Name for an alliance (or something vaguely alliance-looking) of nations opposing a seemingly-unified '"West' plus friends", at which point the neutrality goes right out the window, at least to most English speakers because it is automatically and immediately associated with Nazi Germany. The joys of language and propaganda.

@@MoneyMacro lol, you very well know what you did, don't try to gaslight people... Claiming that axis has neutral connotations is ridiculous. And no, it is not a name that was used in a far-gone, removed conflict. Everyone knows the implication of calling axis and allies (which very clearly has a positive implication, even taking out WWII context) to each block. And then if you take into account that every major axis power is in your "allies" block, and the two countries that suffered the most (china and ussr) against axis countries are placed into the "axis" camp, then it becomes even more ridiculous. At least if you had named it the other way around you would have had some ground to defend the naming... But I guess then the propaganda goal wouldn't have been fulfilled.

Excellent, very clear.
one thing not covered here is that by the early 2010's globalization was mainly aiding US competitors chief among them China. While american growth was sluggish, public and private debt skyrocketed, social tensions caused by wealth imbalances started political destabilization and radicalization. A system that works well for economic expansion at the price of long-term security and growth should not be maintained especially when it is financed by debt that returns less than the actual credit. (just think of the Fed's QE ledger.) As it is covered in the material interest rates will be higher overall, and I am also expecting the price of government borrowing rates to go up even higher compared to reference central bank rates: think of the reforms on the us repo markets. What we see here is a re-prioritization of objectives where economic growth shifts from number one and security becomes priority.

I think you are wrong in using the terms axis and allies that's like trying to compare WW1 and WW2 making central powers the axis and entente the allies. There are no 2 opposing blocks for example BRICS, has different loyalties look at India, China and Brazil and UAE they have ties to China, Russia, America and EU. Similarly Turkey has relations with both the West and Russia. Europe also has big ties to China and still buys Russian products on a more limited scale. I will give you the benefit of the doubt but that's bordering on propaganda that everything outside the West is automatically evil.

Suffering will only accure over a short time period, in the long run it will reduce inequality, and increase purchasing power. That is because of Technology evols and makes goods cheaper and easier to produce, with less people also there is less competition and more demand of people and therfore wages increase.
