I destroyed this logic fail from smooth in the past. Did you miss it?
You did not because you insist China will always have some type of competitive edge over the "inferior" west due to ingenuity or corruption. China is a logistics nightmare and maybe they have a hard landing never to be heard from again once the shit hits the fan. China's main fear is domestic political dissent for a reason. The top is all crooked and the bottom is eventually going to riot and send the country into chaos while all the leaders flee to Vancouver.
Have you ever seen charts that show the wealth of a nation as a function of IQ? It always shows higher IQ countries having more wealth, except in the case of authoritarian socialist regimes, then the IQ makes no difference and wealth of the nation plummets. Due to China being a logistics nightmare, they will have to go more hardcore authoritarian than any other country on earth, and it will implode any type of ingenuity making it impossible for them to keep up. The second we put up tariffs it's also game over for them.
If you're a Chinaman reading this, contrary to what Anonymint says, I promise you, your country is not going to be the new paradise golf course resort in the sky. I'd probably flee to Vancouver like all the other Chinamen.
