I asked what was funny about this article.
Ian: >The assertion that China's geopolitical strategy to scure commodities for
continued growth is a manifestation of insecurity, anxiety, paranoia and
other loaded terms is simply ridiculous and obsolete cold war boilerplate
to boot. <
given its rising status among capitalist powers, it makes sense for China to
be a bit paranoid. Even paranoids have enemies.
Ian: >Btw, last time I checked China was/is running a trade deficit
w/the world.<
but not with the US, which allows them to buy a lot of dollar-denominated
assets,
the world medium of exchange and store of wealth (so far). -- JD
