Long March? But it just started! We head down Peking’s way to look at why the US keeps shooting all the Balloons, our situationship with Taiwan, and why every US politician can’t stop talking about China.

Russia's nominal GDP is smaller than Italy's and once the effects of the war kick in will probably be close to dropping out of the top 15. On a per capita basis, Russian GDP ranks 57 in the world, behind Croatia and Romania. China's GDP per capita ranks 79th just behind Iraq. Russia's armed forces are currently struggling to take a small city about the size of Canton, Ohio after nine months of fighting. China has made very impressive economic gains, but is still a country that is rife with corruption and incompetence. Just look at the Evergrande crisis. The Chinese government ordered Evergrande to demolish 39 highrise apartment towers after the company ran out of money to complete construction. There are great videos on tik tok/instagram of the demolitions. And Evergrande still hangs in the balance with bondholders recently failing to come to agreement with its bond holders on how to move forward. A judge could order Evergrande to be wound up, leaving $300 billion in bad debt. That could have ripple effects across the Chinese economy and will certainly be line one in any political risk analysis written up for foreign investors. China is now a power that rivals the US. But I would not bet on this being China's century absent some sweeping reforms in how China is governed and how people do business in China. China is really not open to foreign investment the way western countries are. And despite all of its economic growth, China still lives or dies based on its exports to the west. China has largely failed to create enough internal consumer demand to sustain its economy without massive exports to the west. This is because Chinese companies are forced to sell products internally at a fraction of the cost they get for the same products when they sell them to the west. China is addicted to an export economy that subsidizes its low wage internal economy and shows no signs of escaping that pattern.

A blogger I follow wrote a couple of posts about DoD interest in UFOs, US and Canadian air defense, and The Balloon(tm). They are not sensationalized and IMO were pretty informative. https://computer.rip/2023-02-14-something-up-there-pt-I.html https://computer.rip/2023-02-17-something-up-there-pt-II.html
