@yrabbit i guess i didn’t read it as blame, but i’d have to reread it. my view is China’s done what it’s done, it’s been an incredibly effective development policy for China. if the US or Europe didn’t like its knock-on effects we had every capability of imposing restrictions in goods or capital markets. blaming China for policy success seems dumb to me, tho i do blame my own government for how it responded (or failed to respond) to changing conditions. https://www.interfluidity.com/v2/540.html
