The Chinese way of economics

[HoreTore]

Am I the only one getting a Vuk-y vibe from hore tore?

I was hoping to debate economic cooperation and development in neighboring countries as a means to increase ones own economy...

It seems that I kinda ruined that by adding some tongue-in-cheek comments, the mention of China seems to be more of a red flag than I anticipated.

That's a great play of words there.


We still [love] you, Hore, my dear old Maoist.

We still you, Hore,[...]

That's just what the chinese government does, isn't it? They just still everyone who disagrees.


I think HoreTore has a point about keeping others able to buy your stuff but it can also develop naturally if you just buy their stuff in return and help their economy that way. Just selling something to a market and then giving the market the money to buy it in the first place doesn't sound like a clever idea at all. It helps to use the advantages of specialisation and relative advantages, if China produces everything and just does this to make others dependant on it, that's not helping anyone.

Giving Burma money to buy stuff isn't the idea discussed in the article, Husar.

The way outlined to improve their economy is what you called "letting it develop naturally", or in other words, increasing imports from Burma.

Where did this rubbish come from that we can change a country by buying goods from them, the west bought plenty from USSR and they were still intent on expanding there empire and nazi Germany was hardly a technological or economic backwater.

It's clearly an idea you subscribe too or you would not have posted the OP in the first place, "letting it develop naturally" as you quoted/paraphrased from the article is one of these ideas people have about China, somehow if we buy widgets from them they will be nice to there own and us.
