And in the long run, that will benefit the Chinese citizens.<br /><br />China isn’t well prepared to fight a trade war with America. For a couple of reasons. One of them is that its economy is slowing, as it faces the “middle income trap,” and the other is The Lewis Turning Point. <br /><br />The income trap is a situation where a country’s growth rate slows down as it reaches middle income status (a World Bank definition re:Gross National Income). <br />The Lewis point is a situation where the “reserve army” of labor shrinks, pushing wages up and eroding the country’s competitive advantage in labor intensive industries. Chinese labor becomes expensive versus India, Vietnam, and Indonesia. And that places additional pressure on the country’s growth.<br /><br />Meanwhile, China has yet to develop a robust domestic consumer market that will accommodate its growing production capacity. They need to buy more of there own output.<br /><br />So, China losing the trade war will be good for China and good for the US. Finally, a win-win, like DJT wishes.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15898532001022482469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7061582353562134652.post-23202933858054279472018-08-05T16:36:56.218-07:002018-08-05T16:36:56.218-07:00I watched "At Issue" today, with JJ and ...I watched "At Issue" today, with JJ and TPaw.<br />Tom Hauser seemed to deflect to TPaw a little too much, but all in all a fair sharing of q and a. Not a debate, by any stretch.<br />JJ seemed a little tentative, while TPaw is an "in your face" politico much like Trump. Says things repeatedly until they become the truth.<br />I hope they don't have a real debate, JJ wouldn't fair well.<br />His only hope is shaking enough hands, one on one and folks like yourself getting his message out to friends and family.<br />Seems way to nice to be in politics.<br />In HC Board mtgs, he seems to get run over by strong personalities like Callison and McLaughlin (sp). Caveat, I only watched two.<br />A minister maybe, not a governor. <br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15898532001022482469noreply@blogger.com
