Talk:Essay: Communist China’s quixotic quest to innovate: A statist economy can’t make creativity greatly blossom

Liberal claptrap

Apparently, American foreign policy is run by a bunch of Luddites:

“ Any Chinese company innovating too quickly or succeeding too visibly now represents a “risk” in the eyes of the US government ”

How come you are always a day late and $10 inflation adjusted dollars short?

You know, if America is ever to raise up a generation of young innovators to compete with the Chinese and Russians, they need to be smarter than the author of these essays and able to read through all the false pride and cheerleading.

As Trump said, it's a merit-based society, and not one based on birthright (cause you were lucky enough to be born American, and not Russian or Chinese).

But this seems to a habit with this author - trying to promote himself or his society by tearing others down. RobSThe Truth. Just Putin It Out There 23:59, January 24, 2025 (EST)

"According to a McKinsey report, AI could potentially contribute around $600 billion annually to the Chinese economy, which could equate to roughly 3.7% of China's current GDP". - McKinsey & Company, 2022[1]
What about the rest of the economy? In 2023, the USA was over 200% more productive in terms of labor productivity than China when measured using purchasing power parity.[2]
And labor productivity leads to economic stability and wealth generation. Right now China has a property crisis, deflation and high youth unemployment. China's economy is a mess so it's not surprising that the USA has over 300% higher GDP (PPP) than China per capita in 2024.[3]
After all is said and done, statist picking and choosing of winners and losers is not as innovative, dynamic, prosperity creating or stable as capitalism overall - especially over the long run.[4]
For a while, the Soviet Union and Japan were high flyers, but their economic castles were built on sand. China's deflation shows that it is at the beginning stage of Japanification which is a type of economic stagnation.[5]Conservative (talk) 18:11, January 27, 2025 (EST)

China surpasses US in scientist numbers for the first time
China surpasses the US in top scientists, with its global share rising to 28% by 2024. [6]
January 17, 2025
“ According to statistics, from 2020 to 2024, the number of leading scientists in China increased from 18,805 to 32,511, with its global share rising from 16.9 percent to 27.9 percent. This indicates a significant shift in global talent dynamics. None of this is coincidental. Some foreign media outlets said that today's China is no longer just the "world's factory" or "a giant market for the world's companies;" it is increasingly becoming the "world's research-and-development laboratory." ”

Why are you forcing me to headline this stuff on MPR? It is the only way to give readers fair warning that some of the crap they find on this website is crap.

Surely there must be another way to deal with your narcissistic, emotional. self-image problems and wounded pride?

The former Soviet Union had a lot of scientists. Sputnik is proof of that. But the statist former Soviet Union fell as it did not a dynamic capitalist system to turn the science/technology into lots of profitable businesses And the former Soviet Union in the 1970s didn't even have a big demographic crisis like China has.
You and the Chinese government can keep putting your trust in big government, but you both will be disappointed.
Furthermore, the Trump tariffs will be descending on China and even some global south countries have started putting tariffs on China. China cannot export its way into prosperity. We live in a different world now.
"The statement "China cannot export its way into prosperity" means that relying solely on exporting goods to other countries will not be enough to achieve sustained economic growth and prosperity for China due to factors like its large size, the need to develop domestic consumption, and increasing global trade complexities; essentially, it needs to diversify its economy beyond exports to truly prosper. As the world's largest exporter, China faces limitations in further expanding its export market share, making it difficult to solely rely on exports for growth."[7] Conservative (talk) 23:28, January 27, 2025 (EST)
Please see: China’s Economy Cannot Export Its Problems Away. Conservative (talk) 23:30, January 27, 2025 (EST)
The Trump tariff train is coming down the tracks and Communist China is tied down to the tracks by its deflation, huge housing crisis, its high youth unemployment and its demographic crisis.

Enjoy your Deepseek now. Because Daddy Trump is back home and he is taking off his tariff belt. And China is going to get a whupping for its spy balloon and IP theft.

Trump on his tariffs:

“As tariffs on other countries go up, taxes on American workers and businesses will come down and massive numbers of jobs and factories will come home,” Trump said Monday at a gathering of House Republicans at his Doral resort in Miami, during a speech in which he praised the tariff-heavy US approach at the turn of the 20th century.
“Remember, again, the word ‘tariff.’ We’re going to protect our people and our businesses, and we’re going to protect our country, with tariffs,” Trump added. He’s said to have earlier mused about tariffs of up to 20%.
The dollar rose against every major currency on Trump’s latest threats."[8]

Questions:

Trump employed tariffs in his first administration. Did it cause a problem as far as inflation?

Tariffs are paid by the end consumer. Without inflation, the impact of the cost is even greater or harder. Inflation eases the pain, which is one reason governments turn to inflation.
The question as phrased hints at your misgivings about the causes of inflation.

Are you familiar with the economic concepts of "price elasticity" and "substitute goods"?

Yah. it's how the Russian economy is dealing with economic sanctions.

Do the sellers of goods that are tariffed sometimes eat the differential in price or a portion of the differential in price?

This question on price makes little sense, cause the purpose of tariffs is to reduce the volume of imports. In fact, it appears you are including the tariff in the end "price" of the product, which is confusing.

Could Trump's trade negotiators use the tariffs as a bargaining chip to have more fair trade betwen the USA and China?

Trump's tariffs on China, or actually the way he handled it, backfired bigtime. Particularly on rare earths and the needs of the US military. Historians will debate if Trump really didn't understand macroeconomics or was it actually a part of an overall plan to force reductions in US defense spending and global dominance.

Do tariffs bring in money for the government which could allow Trump to lower income taxes more readily?

No. And this conflicts will your idea that the US can lower the national debt.

If income taxes are lowered, could that increase people's willing to work/invest? Conservative (talk) 01:35, January 28, 2025 (EST)

Not as long as inflation is present. Inflation kills the incentive to work/invest. Foghorn LeghornDo normal heterosexuals spend 20 yrs obsessing over gay bars, bathhouses and drag queens? 15:20, October 21, 2026 (EDT)

You are an idiot.

Financial Times: world is moving on to trade without the US, January 27, 2025


“ While Trump has yet to deliver on his tariff promises, he is likely to do so. There is a continuing fear that the US president's aggressive stance will sow global turmoil, stifle growth and roil markets, especially if the countries targeted by the tariffs retaliate. But revenge is not the only option.

The U.S. has been weaponizing tariffs for eight years now, with Biden increasing many of the tariffs Trump imposed. Some countries are taking similar measures, while others are offering concessions or challenging the measures. But most are simply quietly backing away, seeking to trade with other countries without the U.S.

America may gain a dominant position as a financial and economic superpower, but lose its position in trade. Its share of world trade is already less than 15%, and it has declined sharply in the last eight years. Five of the 10 fastest-growing trade corridors end in China, and only two of them end in the United States.

You are incapable of intelligent debate or discussion at any level.

Forget explosions: China’s new bomb rains death by a thousand cuts

China recently revealed the Rain of Pear Blossom Needles bomb, an advanced munition designed for precision and wide-area impact.

Key details:

🔴 Weighs approximately 250–300 kg (550–660 lbs).

🔴 Dropped from the H-6K bombers or launched from artillery shells.

🔴 Contains thousands of razor-sharp tungsten needles.

🔴 Saturates target zones with these needles, disabling personnel and damaging light equipment.

🔴 Capable of air-bursting fortified bunkers.


Why it matters:

👉Focuses on disabling effects rather than explosive blasts.

👉 Reflects China’s growing focus on specialized battlefield munitions.

👉 Challenges US dominance with a powerful alternative to the Mother of All Bombs (MOAB) — the heaviest non-nuclear bomb in the US arsenal.

Because you ignore factual evidence, your war propaganda just looks like racist liberal claptrap.

I think we should just agree to disagree.
For example:
2025: "The United States’ lead in global innovation further strengthens its structural power. U.S. firms generate over 50 percent of the world’s high-tech profits, whereas China captures only six percent. This innovation edge positions U.S. companies at critical points in supply chains, enabling Washington to twist production networks, as demonstrated by its coordination of multinational semiconductor restrictions on China." - Australian Journalist Martin Plout in his 2025 article A long, hard look at America’s strengths and weaknesses as Trump comes in again.

China Healthcare Breakthroughs: Ending Diseases and Challenging Big Pharma

Meritocracy and shared prosperity drive innovations that Western healthcare systems can’t match.

Critics—often with ties to the Western pharmaceutical-industrial complex—raise concerns about China’s transparency, ethics, and regulatory oversight.¹¹ These may be valid in part, but they also conceal a deeper anxiety:

What happens when the cure for cancer doesn’t come from Harvard or Oxford—but from a lab in Guangzhou?

If China cracks the code first, it won’t just be a medical milestone. It will mark a geopolitical shift—a soft-power coup that challenges global narratives about leadership, innovation, and moral authority. [10]

You missed the boat. You could have participated in discussion of some of the vital issues of the time. But you excluded yourself.

Let's assume your response to China winning the war on cancer is true - that Bill Gates and his ilk get 17.3% of the "profits" from "high tech" to spend at Epstein Island; does your share, which is eaten up in taxes, go to prosecuting Gates & Epstein? Sheesh, you are dumb as a rock. RobSZelensky Must Go! 22:18, August 26, 2025 (EDT)
More stupidity: The argument that the "United States" received 17.3% of the profits from high tech is Communist - I didn't see a dime of it. Do the oligarchs and shareholders who made all that money live in the US? Do they pay taxes to the US government (unlike your communist hero Bill Browder)?
Can there be one cure for cancer or do the many types of cancer likely require there to be multiple cures so all the types of cancer are cured?: "That’s a great question. The short answer is: It’s very unlikely that there will ever be one single universal cure for all cancers, because cancer is not one disease—it’s a large family of diseases with very different causes, behaviors, and vulnerabilities."
You seem to put the profit motive over humanitarian concerns of cancer victims and their families. It figures.
Next you wrote: "You could have participated in discussion of some of the vital issues of the time. But you excluded yourself." And then you ranted via talking about shutting up and going on spurious personal attacks. The bottom line is that you do not engage in discussions.
You have excluded yourself, with your racist rants and screeds over the past several years, when the subject here is the hypothetical question: "If China cracks the code first, it won’t just be a medical milestone. It will mark a geopolitical shift—a soft-power coup that challenges global narratives about leadership, innovation, and moral authority." [11] We already know where you stand with your bigoted views.

My rebuttal

1. Primary point

Consider:

2025: "The United States’ lead in global innovation further strengthens its structural power. U.S. firms generate over 50 percent of the world’s high-tech profits, whereas China captures only six percent. This innovation edge positions U.S. companies at critical points in supply chains, enabling Washington to twist production networks, as demonstrated by its coordination of multinational semiconductor restrictions on China." - Michael Beckley, Associate Professor of Political Science at Tufts University, See: A long, hard look at America’s strengths and weaknesses as Trump comes in again. Well worth a read.[1]

In 2025, the United States has 4.2% of the world's population and China has 17.3% of the world's population.[2][3] And yet as can be seen above, U.S. firms generate over 50 percent of the world’s high-tech profits, whereas China captures only six percent.

Question: Are Trump Tariffs part of the "free market" capitalist system, or do they deny consumer choice?

?


Considering the widespread existence of tariffs in the world, does Trump's tariffs give the USA more bargaining leverage to negotiate better trade terms for the USA? If so, how much does it increase the probability that the USA will increase overall trade for the USA?:

Summary: "Trump’s tariffs significantly enhance U.S. bargaining leverage by exploiting economic asymmetries and pressuring trading partners to negotiate better terms, as evidenced by deals with the UK, Japan, and others. However, the probability of increasing overall U.S. trade is tempered by retaliatory tariffs, economic costs, and global disruptions. I estimate a 30-50% probability of increasing total trade in the short term, rising to 50-70% in the long term if negotiations succeed and reshoring materializes. The outcome hinges on the administration’s ability to secure deals without triggering prolonged trade wars or domestic backlash." —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Conservative (talk)

🤖🇨🇳China now has more industrial robots than anyone in the world and the US isn’t even in second place

China has a total of over 2.02M industrial robots, installing 295k over the past year, according to new data by the International Federation of Robotics (IFR).

Share of new industrial robot installations:

🇨🇳China - 54%

🌏Asia - 74%

🇪🇺Europe - 16%

🌎Americas (including the US) - 9%

🇯🇵Japan: 44,500 new industrial robots installed, bringing its total to ~450,500

🇺🇸US: 34,200 new industrial robots installed, 393,700 in total (five times less than in China)

The IFR expects China’s industrial robot deployment to continue to grow, citing potential for 10% growth per year until at least 2028, and, in a first this year, Chinese manufacturers selling more robots than foreign companies operating in China (57%).

The industry group attributes China’s success to the country’s 2021 comprehensive national robotics strategy. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by RobSmith (talk)

Rebuttal

Questions:

1. Do we live in a multidimensional world or a one-dimensional world where a country's manufacturing base and associated degree of robotization is the only factor as far as a nation's economic/national strength/stateness? See: The Periodic Table of States In 2025, the USA has a higher stability score in the Periodic Table of States. 20.65 for the USA, 19.51 for China

2. How is China's general economy? See: Essay: It's time to be very bearish about China's long-term economy

3. Is the USA reindustrializing? If so, what are its prospects in this regard? How fast is the USA expected to reindustrialize?, Grok, September 2024

4. What is the probability that China will escape the middle-income trap?, 2025: Summary: "Synthesizing these, the probability that China fully escapes the middle-income trap—crossing to high-income status and maintaining above-4% per capita growth through 2035—is roughly 40–60%."

5. Is India economically growing? Is India giving China more and more competition? If India is economically growing and becoming a stronger economic competitor, does this make it harder for China to escape the middle-income trap? If so, percentage-wise, how much does it decrease the odds of China escaping the middle-income trap?: Summary: India’s growth indirectly complicates China’s escape by diverting investment and market share, potentially reducing China’s odds of reaching high-income status by an estimated 10-20%."

6. If China does not escape the middle-income trap, will that make innovation easier or harder for China? If easier, why?

7. How important are services when it comes to an economy escaping the middle-income trap?, 2025

8. Is it true that innovation in one sector of the economy, such as from the services sector, can cross-pollinate into other sectors of the economy? If not, why not?

9. Are economies that are well-diversified more resilient and do they have more opportunities for the aforementioned cross-pollination? If not, why not? See: Essay: Diversified economies, resilience and stability

Please also see: Are economies that are well-diversified more resilient and does this include having a well-developed services sector and do they have more opportunities for innovations in various sectors to spread in the general economy via cross-pollination?, 2025

10. What are China's biggest challenges when it comes to diversifying its economy via developing its service economy? What is the probability that China will overcome these challenges? Consider Xi Jinping's leadership, his chances of being replaced and China's economic challenges.: Summary: "China faces formidable challenges in diversifying its economy through the service sector, including overreliance on manufacturing, a real estate crisis, weak consumption, regulatory hurdles, demographic constraints, and political resistance to reforms. The probability of overcoming these challenges in the next 5–10 years is 30–40%, contingent on significant policy shifts toward consumption-driven growth and market liberalization, which are currently misaligned with Xi’s priorities."

How much does protectionism rising in the world reduce China's chance of escaping the middle-income trap? In terms of probability, how much does protectionism rising in the world reduce China's chance of escaping the middle-income trap?: Summary: "While precise quantification is elusive, it’s reasonable to estimate that protectionism reduces China’s probability of reaching high-income status by 10–20 percentage points, lowering a baseline of 40–50% to approximately 25–40% over the next 10–15 years. To mitigate this, China must accelerate domestic innovation, strengthen regional trade ties, and implement structural reforms to boost productivity."

The problem here

The problem here is, this is leftover Cold War rhetoric from the 1980s. This "innovation" pitch and other rhetoric was used in the Reagan era to develop things like the cell phone & internet (which the Democrats opposed). The world has changed.

It worked to get Congress to fund DARPA Research & Development, Wall Street to invest in things that could only be imagined, and bring down the stale Soviet Union. But China now (since it won MFN status and a whole bunch of other factors) is a different animal.

This "ideological" rhetoric (and it actually isn't even that) as a propaganda tool is 40 years out of touch with the real world. RobSZelensky Must Go! 05:33, September 30, 2025 (EDT)

China studied closely what brought down the Soviet communist system (lack of innovation, for example) and is determined not to make the same mistakes.

The fundamental flaws and assumptions in this Essay are not limited to this Essay. The flaws and assumptions originate in a stale mindset (like Marxists in the late Soviet Union had - an unwillingness to keep up with developments and change because their ideology dictated them so).

China Just Triggered U.S. Tech Panic, Unthinkable USD Disaster In 2026, Trump $21T Massive SHORT

"The tech race is heating up, and China just dropped their new AI solution. It’s a new chatbot that’s going to go head-to-head with OpenAI’s ChatGPT. GPT was the fastest AI app to ever reach 100 million users. They crossed 1 million in 5 days and achieved 100 million in just 2 months. Moreover, they have over 800 million active users a week. So, the growth is exponential. Adoption is key and the speed of it is important.

Now, China is starting to make their own chatbot to rival GPT. It signals how Beijing has the ability to develop AI for their own economy and for the global south. Western tools and help are needed. Alibaba’s new Qwen AI app just received more than 10 million downloads during the launch week. Shares of the company jumped by almost 5%. This new AI app isn’t just a tag along in Alibaba’s business. Sure, it’s going to change the shopping platform and it’s going to drive a lot of retail sales, but the aim is to create a fully functioning AI agent. It will start off in China but, before long, it’s going to expand globally with an overseas version.

Now, compared to ChatGPT, China has one big advantage: it’s open source. Because of open source, Qwen can provide more flexibility and can be easily customized. So companies can easily adapt it for their own use case. Whether you’re running a store or a power grid, Qwen is more flexible. It’s also free to use for many cases. Plus, the model is optimized for lower resource usage. You don’t need to burn a pile of cash, compute power, or energy to keep it running. And this puts it at odds with the US model, which is closed source. Plus, it cost a [bomb?] to use GPT at scale compared to the Chinese models. And this means that if Chinese AI can reach intelligence parity with US models, they will blitz through the adoption curve.

Getting users is not a problem once Beijing closes the final intelligence gap. When we compare open source models between the US and China, the game has already been won. Llama is an open source AI model similar to Qwen. It is developed by Meta Platforms, the Facebook company. For over 18 months, Llama was easily leading the Chinese model. But in July, Qwen’s downloads suddenly went to the moon. Their downloads doubled in just a single quarter, surpassing Llama with nearly 400 million downloads. Systems built on Qwen now account for 40% of new language models. Meta’s share of the market fell by 15%.

This is terrifying for US AI for a whole variety of reasons. The US is fighting an uphill battle. They don’t have an industrial base or retail ecosystem like China’s to harness the true power of AI. China’s payment space alone is an incredible avenue to drive AI adoption amongst the masses. And this is putting aside all the developers. We are talking about normal people, you and me, using AI. China can drive AI usage because they have a unified payment [rails?] within the country itself. The majority of transactions in China are done using either WeChat or Ali Pay. Over 1 billion people in China use WeChat alone for payments, and that’s 85% of shoppers. Alibaba is at the top spot, which means they have the customer base to influence and collect data from. All this benefits users, companies, and developers using the Qwen model.

In fact, Jensen Huang just admitted the big AI threat coming out of China. The open source nature of it allows for massive adoption with very little push back from the world:

Huang: China has very good AI technology. They have many AI researchers. In fact, 50% of the world’s AI researchers are in China, and they develop very good AI technology. In fact, the most popular AI models in the world today are open source models from China, and so they’re moving very, very fast. The United States has to continue to move incredibly fast. Otherwise, the world is very competitive.

And this introduces a big problem for the US. They are burning through big stock piles of cash trying to keep the dream alive. Hundreds of billions in data centers alone, and this disaster is being funded by a lot of debt at high interest rates. Chinese companies like Alibaba can fight the war sustainably using customer revenue. It’s a very different model. As we mentioned before, the US is trying to create Skynet and run as fast as they can using borrowed money. But unless you suddenly reach AGI, you will crash. You will eventually hit a wall of defaults.

Alibaba plans to turn Qwen into a fully operational AI agent. That means allowing customers to shop hands-free. It’s going to build a bigger ecosystem around it. That means mapping, travel, booking, and even education. It’s possible because there’s already a big unified user base. It’s the same reason why AI in general can scale faster in China--because they already have an existing industrial base. If we look at the recent AI selloff, Alibaba still [fed?] better. It is still up by 10% while others like Meta are down by nearly 20%. The market understands the fundamental difference. China is playing the AI game sustainably. The advantage is in real life applications, or what people call ‘AI influence.’ The US however is fueling their growth by debt and deficits. If China manages to drive mass adoption, especially for everyday consumers, this will put a massive squeeze on US AI revenue. And without earnings, how can you service the debt?

Take Open AI’s revenue for example. They have committed to spend over a trillion dollars on AI development. That’s $1,000 billion. Sounds great, but their annual revenue is only $13 billion so far. Plus, over 70% of it comes from consumer subscriptions to check GPT. People paying 20 bucks a month to use GPT with less restrictions. Which begs the question: What happens when China creates a cheaper consumer model? It’s not a leap to go from open source to consumer closed source. Chinese solutions will most definitely undercut ChatGPT and really squeeze Sam Altman’s revenues.

OK, here’s what ties all this to my background intro:

That’s why Trump is scrambling to take control of the Fed. He needs to bring interest rates down at all costs to prevent an implosion. Borrowing money needs to get cheaper for AI companies to refinance their debt. There’s no other option left. Now the Federal Reserve is going to be even more beholden to Trump. Kevin Hasset, who’s part of the Trump gang, is the front runner for Fed Chair. In other words, he could very well replace Jerome Powell in May next year, 2026. If you didn’t know or you don’t know who Hasset is, he’s an economic advisor who’s a big dove. He lives and breathes interest rate cuts. And here’s the hilarious part.

The selection process for the next Fed chair will be led by none other than Scott Bessent. Now, I’m sure he will be impartial and select the best person for the job. </sarc> This is an absolute disaster. If you think the debasement trade or the debasement trend is over, ladies and gents, it probably isn’t. The Fed is going to start to be filled by the Trump squad. We already have Steven Miran there. He has been calling for a weaker dollar for the longest time. He believes it will make US manufacturing more competitive, and that translates to massive rate cuts. And if you think this disaster can’t get any worse, Bessent is definitely going to follow what Trump wants. Whoever the pick is, we can expect Bessent to follow orders.

Q: You’re not taking that job?

Bessent: Brett, there are, I think, 340 million Americans now. I think I can safely say that I will not be the Fed chair. I think President Trump will make a great Fed chair. He has an open mind. He understands monetary policy better than a lot of people understand.

How soon will the decision be made? Well, it could come as quickly as Christmas, and that is less than 30 days away, which means a huge shock could come to the markets. If Hasset gets in, most definitely in 2026, we will get massive cuts. That is going to be bearish for the dollar. Trump is going to reset your money and cause a bigger inflation problem down the road, including asset inflation as well. The problem here is the inequality divide. The rich are going to get much richer with all the rate cuts, and this can’t continue forever. Trump’s control of the Fed is going to push things off a cliff.

Since 1965, the US middle class has been getting squeezed out of existence. It has shrunk by 11 percentage points to just 45%. A basic family budget is now above six figures, which is insane. The cost of child care, housing, food, and health care are all rising. Now what happens if interest rates drop, triggering a dollar collapse? All imports will cost more and will squeeze the middle class even more. The only beneficiaries here will be asset holders [the rich].

This next is the hidden reality: Trump isn’t doing this for you and me. This is about maintaining the Anglo-Zionist empire

I don’t like it, but this is just the reality. Trump isn’t trying to reverse this. His policies, ironically, are accelerating the timeline. While the economy is rotting, the US stock market is booming. But can this bifurcation last forever?

The rate cuts are just one part of the story. Another narrative driving this exuberance is Trump promising $21 trillion in global investments. According to reports, there’s a big hole in Trump’s promises.

That’s not surprising to us, but this information is being priced into all the stock prices. There’s over $11 trillion missing, maybe even more. And for those that were found on the White House website, only $7 trillion might have some semblance of reality. Which means if the $14 trillion black hole isn’t resolved, we have a big valuation gap to justify here. It’s like telling the neighborhood you won a million dollars and you’re going to throw a block party next week. Everyone is cheering. Fist pumps to the air. Everyone’s preparing to party next weekend. But you don’t have the money. So either you cancel the party and you crash the hopes of everyone, or you borrow the money to throw the party, driving yourself into debt.

It’s a lose lose proposition. And understand the scale of this. The US economy could be in store for a major [?], from $7 trillion alone is going to add massively to US GDP. If all the projects are delivered according to the timeline, we are looking at an additional 5% GDP a year. That’s half of the pandemic rescue package is on par with the railway boom in the 1880s, and it’s bigger than the ‘08 top bailout from Obama. It’s an incredible amount of money.

But how much of this is priced into US stocks? And how about the remaining 14 trillion in amorphous pledges?

Remember this iconic speech:

Trump: We have over 17 trillion dollars being invested in our country in nine months. It’s now just about ready to crack 18. And by the end of one year, we will have about 20 to 21 trillion dollars invested on our country. That’s more by 10 times the highest amount ever invested in any country ever before. It’s the largest amount, as an example, so if we have 20 or 21 in one year, 21 trillion, think of what that is. That’s car factories, that’s AI, it’s everything. They’re all coming back.

You can’t make this stuff up. What if the money doesn’t manifest? The entire economy and the markets will get a big shock. A lot of manufacturing investments would evaporate away into the ether. More importantly, the money going to AI might just dry up.

Now Trump’s global shakedown is also not working. A lot of countries from South Korea and Japan all the way to Europe, are giving him the runaround. If we look at sovereign investment pledges, there isn’t enough money on the line.

There might be 900 billion from Korea and Japan, but a lot of those are loans that need to be paid back. It’s not free money, folks. From the EU, less than $41 billion. From the Saudis, less than $26 billion. from the UAE, just 61 billion. None of this can fill up Trump’s $14 trillion black hole. There’s not enough shakedown money around, and countries are just not that stupid. Giving Trump money is denying their own economy of capital.

So realize: 2026 might be judgment day. Trump seriously needs the money to come in. Or else, how can we justify all the lofty valuations in US stocks? It just doesn’t make sense at this point. But let me know what you think. Will Chinese AI pop the tech bubble against Trump? Will he get his $21 trillion next year? Let me know in the comments below."

"China's brain drain, while a notable vulnerability (rated 65/100 in severity), is increasingly mitigated by reverse migration trends, with 2025 seeing a "slow acceleration" of US-trained researchers returning home amid enhanced domestic opportunities in AI, tech, and academia. Annually, 20,000–25,000 US-educated Chinese graduates stay in the US (80–85% of the cohort), contributing to talent imbalances but also bolstering US innovation—though tightening US policies and China's pull factors (e.g., competitive salaries, new visas) may reduce this outflow by 10–20% in coming years. Overall, the dynamic favors mutual "brain gain" over pure drain, but sustained economic pressures in China could elevate risks if unaddressed."[16] Conservative (talk) 22:39, November 29, 2025 (EST)
