    Well put, yeah. It’s definitely satisfying seeing weird Sinophobes crashing out as it gets increasingly hard to pretend they’re secretly a failed state while normal people are just buying reliable, cheaper Chinese products.

      Exactly and it’s a self-reinforcing cycle. The country crashing out and rejecting those cheaper Chinese products will only put itself at a competitive disadvantage against countries that don’t reject those products, which only expedites the shift in power.
