Interesting meeting with @DelhiGCP, maybe @chengdugcp should watch their backs #GCP2k80

[The Times GCP 2016 @GcpTimes]

@chengdugcp and @DelhiGCP should understand that a market of 4 billion people is useless if a profit cannot be made

[The Times GCP 2016 @GcpTimes]

@SarajevoGCP are visibly contrite. #GCP2k80

[The Times GCP 2016 @GcpTimes]

This is redistributing wealth from the poor to the rich #GCP2k80

[The Times GCP 2016 @GcpTimes]

Their argument is that they will subsidise healthy food, which will benefit everyone equally #GCP2k80

[The Times GCP 2016 @GcpTimes]

@chengdugcp is unwilling to compromise on "sin taxes", despite the fact this has been shown to be regressive #GCP2k80

[The Times GCP 2016 @GcpTimes]

@MexicoCityGCP have begun the communist revolution. This is a terrible move on their part, there will be mass poverty #GCP2k80

[The Times GCP 2016 @GcpTimes]

If @MexicoCityGCP go ahead, we have to wonder if The Trade Body are willing to take military action against a nation state #GCP2k80

[The Times GCP 2016 @GcpTimes]

The meeting can be paraphrased thusly
@MexicoCityGCP: We're seizing the means of production
The Trade Body: No.

[The Times GCP 2016 @GcpTimes]

@MexicoCityGCP are proposing that the state will produce alcohol and tobacco and also be in control of whether or not people use them

[The Times GCP 2016 @GcpTimes]

These companies provide mass employment, both high level jobs in the headquarters and jobs for the poor in manufacturing #GCP2k80

[The Times GCP 2016 @GcpTimes]

1) Communism is a viable alternative to capitalism
2) These companies provide wealth
3) What you are proposing is theft

[The Times GCP 2016 @GcpTimes]

A stirring speech by @MexicoCityGCP and it has noble goals but ...

[The Times GCP 2016 @GcpTimes]

@MexicoCityGCP are proposing the alternative to interacting with the Trade Body ... COMMUNISM 🛠🇹🇳 #GCP2k80

[The Times GCP 2016 @GcpTimes]

Is the #AsianSuperpowers coalition a good idea, or will we have a game-theory-prisoners-dilemma-esque backstabbing? #GCP2k80

[The Times GCP 2016 @GcpTimes]

@chengdugcp have acknowledged they were especially uncooperative with corporations. The ego from the South China Sea conflict caused this

[The Times GCP 2016 @GcpTimes]

@LusakaGCP The idea is entertained

[The Times GCP 2016 @GcpTimes]

A brain drain has already begun. Highly educated Employees of The Trade Body as signing contracts to move tones headquarters #GCP2k80

[The Times GCP 2016 @GcpTimes]

The #AsianSuperpowers are proposing uniting against the Trade Body. Are their combined populations enough? Only time will tell #GCP2k80

[The Times GCP 2016 @GcpTimes]

Interestingly, this is an international precedent where the failing of large economies is directly correlated with the success of others
