I saw our lilly livered trade minister trying to pretend that we have a strong manufacturing sector.
If he truly believes that he should be out on his ear.
Well we are all jostling for a better position now, country wise; irrespective of West or East positioning or alliance. A major shock to the global order has occurred with this pandemic, however I think it will reinforce the pre-virus economic trajectory rather than slow or divert it.

I'm just baffled at people cheering on the demise of the U.S, maybe some should ponder a World owned by Chinese manufacturing multinationals, I don't know who will ensure we stay as we are if China buys all the mining?
The U.S will probably island itself as pre WW1, Europe and the U.K will also look after themselves, which leaves us and our easily accessible minerals who we are dependent on China buying.
So extrapolating out, China squeezes us until we have to sell the companies, then we have to increase taxes to support our welfare.
How long will that last?
ATM the U.S is attempting to stop China dumping cheap manufactured goods, which is destroying first World manufacturing, if it fails they will just look after their own manufacturing base and China will continue with State funded companies.
So what is everyone cheering about?
Trump is the only World leader since 1970, to address this problem, and the media and muppet show are trying to stop him, well if they succeed they will look back in 20 years and say OMG.
Just my opinion.
The western world desperately needs a strong USA, non western countries are cheering the turmoil on and undoubtedly feed the flames (discreetly)
China is the fastest ageing nation in the world/has had the biggest baby bust in history. It's also the most overcredited nation in history.
The average Chinese man is already older than the average american, and 50 years from now, there will be 500 million fewer chinese people in the world.
I'd bet you any amount you wanted
China had a one child policy from 1980 untill the end of 2015, then the two child policy was introduced.China is the fastest ageing nation in the world/has had the biggest baby bust in history. It's also the most overcredited nation in history.

Yep - I posted in the other thread, but let's go nominal gdp and majority 2/3 verdict.
Ok, deal.I am happy with all 3; so I need all three to win; if not I lose. And yes nominal GDP.
Ok, deal.
How many bars do you already have?
The present Mrs Gumnut has cabinets full of silver if you would like to melt it down and take it away.MORE THAN ENOUGH TO COVER THIS BET
Perhaps you should by a bar now, in case it costs you a few thousands, haha.

Maybe I'm just curious, maybe I am skeptical, but 2 new posters, one register <7 days and one registered less than <30 days, both posting in nearly the exact same 2-3 threads at/on average 10 posts a day. Both playing with each other.
Seems even ASF can be taken over, shame, more good contributors will disappear.
Yes, but first world countries have a falling birthrate with no limit on children, so one would think China will be o.k. they are starting with a population of 1.3 billion.trawler - That still results in a negative population pyramid due to simple mortality. It also takes 25 years to make a 25 year old (the beginning of your consumer economy).
China is simply done for at least an entire generation.
