    And according to the new export rules, the application for an export license must be submitted in Chinese.

    For maximum humiliation, they should return any applications with spelling / grammar mistakes with red underlines and a request that the applicant write it correctly ten times for each mistake.

    The overtaking of the US hegemon has been methodical and patient; an approach that made China one of the earliest cohesive nations and will solidify them as the enduring civilization of all mankind. I for one am elated that Western Civilization™ will be a silly foot note in future history books.

      There is nothing the colonizers can do. China is the only country in the world with a fully developed supply chain for rare earth extraction. We’re talking at least 10-15 years before the West can build their own, and that’s if they are capable of doing it.

      As I have been saying again and again, the West will have to negotiate because of the export restrictions. They have no choice. People who keep saying that “China is too weak to do anything internationally to stop a genocide” don’t understand the cards China have to play lol.

        People who keep saying that “China is too weak to do anything internationally to stop a genocide” don’t understand the cards China have to play lol.

        I think the argument usually is that China is unwilling to use those cards to stop a genocide, not that they don’t have leverage

          Yes I am well aware of that. I have been arguing with people about this point for months and you will see some of excuses made is “China cannot do anything about it”.

          Funniest part is that if you look at the latest trade bulletin from China’s customs, trade with Israel from Jan-Aug 2025 (year-on-year) went up by 50% (with import went up 100%!!) while trade with Iran over the same period (both import and export) went down 20-25%.

        xiaohongshu you mentioned Jia Genliang as an influence of yours.

        What other Chinese Marxists/economics do you take influence from? I’d like to do more research. Ideally there are English translations but I can always start with secondary sources

        Thank you for the continual inspiration PRC-emblem

        I found this on Jia Genliang and it seems like a good overview for anglos: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/371104055_Jia_Genliang_jiagenliang_an_Economist_for_China's_New_Era

          Zuo Da Pei (左大培) from CASS is a well-known critique against the development of neoliberalism in China and joining the WTO (export-oriented growth). He was the recipient of the 2006 Sun Yefang award, the most prominent economic prize in China. Unfortunately he hasn’t written anything since 2023. Last article was about how China should fully support Russia against NATO imperialism lol. He’s part of the “New Left” movement in China and to be clear, I don’t associate myself with any of these factions but found some of their work useful for my own thinking.

          The Jia Genliang overview paper is quite good.

          I will tell you why I have finally come around to his position. Jia had been criticizing the overreliance on export and the lack of domestic consumption market since 2013 (!!) and how the Belt and Road cannot succeed without China first building itself a main consumption market for the BRI countries to sell their export goods to.

          When I found his work years back due to him being a popularizer of MMT and Michael Hudson’s work in China, I didn’t think much about the domestic consumption part and always thought he placed too much emphasis on that.

          Fast forward to 2025, there is no denying that his critiques from 10 years ago have come true. Although he did not predict that the rise of Chinese EVs and green tech would happen so fast, everything he talked about the inability to drive a consumption market has been exactly on point.
