China GDP plummets to 0.4% in Q2

I sometimes believe you sleep with Putin on the bed. How is that possible that your grains storage is full, while German largest gas storage (owned by Gazprom) shrinks to just 1 percent before the Ukraine war starts?


Tiger, the Ford is a new class of ship. It just takes times to mature. Probably only chinese ships run without clitches. F35 was a joke now nobody laughes on it anymore. The US had build 100 aircraft carriers during WW2, they can do the same number for WW3.

That's because of trump.

Trump's support is mostly American farmers. Therefore, the most important condition of Trump's trade war is to ask China to significantly increase the amount of grain imports.

You know, trump said that trade wars are easy to win. So we were so afraid that we had to fill our storage warehouse with American grain.

Trump said China would buy up to $50 billion per year of US agricultural goods in a new trade agreement — but it hasn't come anywhere close over the past decade

Sales of agricultural goods to China peaked at $25.9 billion in 2012, leaving trade experts highly skeptical of the figures Trump is touting.

That we saved you from the Japs. Just as we defeated the Japs.

This claim completely drives me speechless. I don’t even know how to react to it. How should I approach a guy yelling “the earth is flat!” in 21st century?

You should give him a form to join the Communist Party of China.

How Indians defeated Japs? By being their wet food？

Read some history. That's a start

When we find a vaccine for elderly patients with chronic diseases, we can use covid-19 vaccine like influenza vaccine. We can legislate that everyone must be injected with covid-19 vaccine, and we can inject booster injections every year according to new variants.

How long do you expect the need to maintain the zero COVID policy? Years?

Most US carriers during the WWII were converted merchant ships with a deck on the top.

The modern supercarriers are extremely complicated, and it will take a very long period to build, and the US with its current ability to mass produce them will even be less than China.

I don't know.

If there has been no vaccine that can be safely used by elderly patients with chronic diseases, the zero covid policy may continue forever.

I don't know.

If that is the case, do you think the government will arrange something to provide new housing for those at high risk? In hopes of providing them full protection, and allowing the rest of the city and other regions to open up more fully? This is not to be callous, but as you say, this maybe a forever policy, accommodations maybe necessary to balance both responsibilities.

It is can't.
Because it is against traditional Chinese morality for children to let the elderly live alone.
If the Chinese govt forcibly isolates high-risk groups, it will certainly cause serious dissatisfaction.

 

[Dungeness]

China losing economic steam?

How long can CCP be legitimate if their only selling point becomes fake?
How is the common chinese citizen accepting another failure of this totalitarian governments failure?

What failed is your critical thinking ability.

Nonsense. Conversing transport vessels to carriers was just a quick fix. Japan was at advantage it had to beginning of the war more aircraft carriers. Never estimate the west manufacturing when coming to showdown. Germany made 10 submarines per month.

Let's not digress.

Here are poor Chinese escaping death sentence lockdown by CCP..

Food delivery is running as normal from the Shanghai lesson mate. I doubt people starved to death like Indians which starves with or without covid mate.

Dude, nobody can beat Chinese industrial might. Wake up

Well, you can give that much of order to the US shipyards, but they can't even provide that many skillful workers to meet the demand.

The US shipbuilding industry is already sunset industry long time ago.

The US was the mighty god of the WWII, but today you have simply deified them too much.

South Korea and Japan still have a shipbuilding industry, but they don't have the knowhow to build the modern warships.

At present, NND&DD is the only shipyard in the USA that can manufacture aircraft carriers, nuclear submarines and other large warships.

Even there are only five shipyards can capable of manufacturing small warships.

You'd better not think that money can quickly restore shipbuilding capacity. It takes a long time for professional workers required by modern shipbuilding to complete training.

In China, there are more than 100 shipyards in Jiangsu Province alone that can manufacture warships of the class 054A, and all three aircraft carriers are manufactured in different shipyards.

China's shipbuilding capacity is 30 times that of the USA(per year 12 million tons:0.4 million tons)

The cost of shipbuilding in China is less than half that in the USA
055's cost is $0.9 billion.
Burke's cost $2.58 billion.

China's military expenditure is 1.5% of GDP.
USA's military expenditure is 4% of GDP.

We welcome the USA to enter into a naval arms race with us.

Most of the workers for Korean and Japanese yards come from shandong, there is a daily ferry services.

Don’t underestimate the US and it’s ability to re-industrialize. Also, the US would leverage the collective shipyards of its own and its allies to build up a fleet as needed. The future IS frigate is a derivative of the Italian FREMM design. Cruise ship shipyards can be converted by European firms to build warships. If the situation required it, US shipyards could go into partnerships with Japanese and South Korean shipyards, and train up local staff over a few years.

Take the collective shipbuilding capacity of the US and all its allies and partners and run the calculations again.

As far as Chinese GDP goes, it can still catch-up to the US if it has more wealthier customers to buy its goods. Doubling down on BRI (such as rail lines across Africa), to lower transit costs, could free up more money for Africans and others to spend on more Chinese goods.
