Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

I think there has been a lot of projection that if the US wants to decouple from China, then China would wish the same too.

I agree with this.

If you look carefully at all of China’s readouts, there has been no indication whatsoever that China is going to establish an alternative economic and financial framework.

I doubt the present Chinese leadership has as radical of a leadership as commentators often believe them to have, but the sheer size of the Chinese market and industrial base means that even simply trying to integrate themselves into the world economy to an ever greater degree creates an economic alternative.

Furthermore, in regards to finances, sooner or later, the sheer and continous erraticness of the imperial core will force even the most liberal of Chinese leaders to create a financial alternative even if for no reason other than to protect the market economy.

doesn’t mean it won’t protect itself against further domestic (international) violence.

True.
