@Charlesdicks_12 @whiteTony99 2/2 投资包括能源，农耕，通讯，等。你可去翻查。经济是需要积累才能成型的。
你的观点来自某些国家应产能，科技，速度，比不上中国，就要人家少生产。这是自欺欺人，躲在被窝里称王。竞争是进步的铁律。世界之大，机会不会怜惜不上进的��业。资本仍要厚利，人家却做到白菜价。谁为谁打拼，不言而喻。

[William C @Will_apprentice]

@Charlesdicks_12 @whiteTony99 这讨论开始没意义了。你不正视我提的论点也罢了。又来一堆所谓的“因素”。中国目前在海外是把3样东西搞好：基建（港，机场，铁路，公路，电网），资源开发（矿和能源），再来就是技术转移。非洲资源丰富，但百年以来西方从不转移技术，只提取廉价资源，因此非洲没有提升经济的能力。
中国在非洲的 ..1/2

@Charlesdicks_12 @whiteTony99 你又没搞清楚了。中国内需没上来，原因不在企业利润，而在于西方贸易壁垒，绝不是靠全球南方本就微博的利润 （大部分国家人均收入不到$400美元，买的起联想电脑，Oppo手机吗？）。另外问题就是走资。大企业利润多少分给员工，多少投在金融产品，买美债呢 （除华为以外）？别乱套因果，胡乱打嘴炮。

[William C @Will_apprentice]

@Charlesdicks_12 @whiteTony99 2/2 哪跟继续剥削（较廉价）没有分别。中国要做的是构建南方的整个市场，提升数数十个乃至百个国家的消费能力。随着社会的消费能力提升，开拓更大的市场。这是良性循环，不是剥削。产品也逐步升级。有十几亿人口可以有望晋升到小康。中国也可走向较高端高利润产值。

[William C @Will_apprentice]

@Charlesdicks_12 @whiteTony99 那是应为你缺了想象能力，只认识西方惯用经济逻辑（利益最大化），来解读中国的工业基建外销思维。全球南方已被西方殖民剥削了两三个世纪。近百年，即便已不是抢杆子顶脑门逼迫，而是以金融，贷款，制裁，来控制继续剥削。要断层拆反这种经济模式，不是［赚少一点］来跟西方抢市场。哪跟继续剥削，1/2

It is crucial to understand that this is a major reason for the West’s increasing belligerence toward China over the past decade. China’s development is challenging Western monopolies. This imposes a direct squeeze on Western profits but it also undermines a core tenet of imperialism.

The West’s monopoly power allows them to impose dependency on the global South. The South is forced to export large quantities of raw materials and intermediate goods in order to pay for imports at monopoly prices.

This produces large net flows from the global South, propping up the West’s growth and profits. If the West’s monopoly power declines, this flow gets cut off. They are desperate to prevent this from happening, to the point of fantasising about going to war with China to destroy China’s industrial base.

The West’s whole model for capital accumulation depends on Southern dependency. As that arrangement becomes increasingly unstable, the Western ruling class will become increasingly violent.

Honor will always look unreasonable in a world where reason has been defined by the people who benefit from unreasonable things.

Reasonable: drone strikes on wedding parties because someone on the guest list may have had connections to someone of interest.

Unreasonable: saying this is a war crime.

Reasonable: sixty-four years of embargo on a small island nation.

Unreasonable: saying this is collective punishment.

Reasonable: a defense budget larger than the next six countries combined while veterans sleep in the street.

Unreasonable: saying this is a political choice, not an inevitability.

Reasonable: funding and arming a government that is credibly documented to be committing atrocities.

Unreasonable: saying that makes you complicit in the atrocities.

The definitions of reasonable and unreasonable in this world are not philosophical.

They are political.

They were written by people with interests.

They are defended by people who have, consciously or not, accepted that their comfort depends on those definitions holding.

The person who refuses them is not failing to reason.

She is reasoning from different premises.

The premise that the dead matter equally regardless of passport.

The premise that documented suffering requires a documented response.

The premise that what is legal and what is right are not always the same.

These are not complicated premises.

A child understands them.

The work of empire is teaching adults to forget what children know.

@AngelicaOung @kejimao On a deeper level, one looks at why there's such ready reception for anti-China propaganda in the West. The media will claim it is merely feeding the beast. The politicians, arms companies, Big-Tech, want it exactly that way. And the US public lap it up. Toxicity also need soil.

[William C @Will_apprentice]

@Glenn_Diesen At least part of this absolutist phenomena in academia is effected by moneyed-interests shaping university positions on geopolitical issues. Withholding funding is a tool to 'manufacture consent', esp by ideologically extremist Govts. And Europe is a dictatorship these days.

[William C @Will_apprentice]

@Glenn_Diesen @kefran2a_ The hypocrisy and pretense is staggering among US politicians. And Bernie self-style himself as a voice of reason on the Israeli-Palestinian issue. Any thought of the US being an honest broker on the 🇵🇸🇮🇱 issue is really clinically delusional.

[William C @Will_apprentice]

@FranceskAlbs @coniinthegarden The majority of the nations of the World and the people of the World are disgusted with the murderous Zionist regime in Jerusalem. A reckoning is gathering for the despicable Gen0cidal state 🇮🇱. Justice and humanity will prevail.

I, together with ICC judges and Palestinian HR defenders, need your help to counter US admin's abuses.

Please sign and share the petition.

The EU must not ignore its responsibilities toward us!

@tiberiusfiles @agentsideways PSG had 70% ball possession, had 21 shots vs 1, and a Goal xG (quality of chances potentially leading to a goal) of 1.7 vs 0.4. Arsenal defended for most of the game, having g scored early. Unquestionably, the better team won.
And yes, Arsenal firing their kit man is shameful.

[William C @Will_apprentice]

@KaiserKuo @AngelicaOung This resembles 'Bubble symdrome'. When you excuse Western media's take on China as 'well-meaning' albeit with some 'leanings', that journalists are ppl of integrity, you clearly don't see any analysis like this https://t.co/tNxyu6IdG3

How are perspectives so different?

[William C @Will_apprentice]

@AngelicaOung No matter what Trump says about Xi and cooperation, the US continues to stoke tension in Asia. There must be no illusion that the winds of war has blown past Asia. Iran is only Act2 after Ukraine. The SCS, Taiwan, Korea, Japan & Australia (maybe Singapore) are next.

Huawei is the world's most successful coop.

Maybe the reason the ultra-wealthy in the west hate Huawei, is because it's owned by its employees?

No investors taking an un-earned share of the workers efforts to be seen...

[Angelo Giuliano 🇨🇭🇮🇹 @angeloinchina]

Huawei’s Genius Employee Ownership System 🔥

Huawei’s employee shareholding system is one of the most brilliant corporate innovations of our time.

~169,000 current & retired employees collectively own ~99% through virtual restricted shares. Ren Zhengfei keeps just 0.59% but provides visionary leadership.

No outside investors extracting unearned rents.
No quarterly Wall Street pressure.
Profits reinvested at massive scale.
Tens of thousands of employees have become wealthy through real performance and loyalty.

It’s not a classic Western co-op, but a pragmatic, high-performance “meritocratic partnership” that perfectly aligns incentives.
This is why Huawei became a global tech titan despite sanctions.

True employee ownership done right. Respect. 🇨🇳

[William C @Will_apprentice]

@HavryshkoMarta @agentsideways It matters not, beyond the performative verbal protest, from European 'leaders' like Merz & Tusk. They will work with neo-Nazis to wage war with Russia. Historical memory is unimportant to European elites.

[Brian Berletic @BrianJBerletic]

No - China doesn't fear "international coverage."

China simply recognizes US media has been and is going to lie about China and meddle internally in the same way US media lied about Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Libya, Yemen, Ukraine, Russia, Myanmar, and so many other nations.

Not only lie, but actively aid and abet US interference on the ground inside their borders all under the cover of "journalism."

The US media has no intention of telling the world about China's accomplishments - the US media is the single largest obstacle preventing the world from seeing China as it ACTUALLY is - not the lies the US spreads deliberately.
