‘Reduce the dependency on China’ and impose sanctions | Benedict Rogers 

especially if the sea lanes aren't kept open

It's the west versus the rest of the world

Jealousy . They study and develop . How that an issue

@@zacksmith5963 Ah, I see what your random defensiveness about Chinese students was in reference to now. Perhaps chill out and bicker with one person at a time? The issue with Chinese theft from universities has little or nothing to do with ordinary Chinese undergrad students. It's about the Chinese state investing huge resources in stealing IP and tech from Western firms, because under the totalitarian dictatorship that China is, innovation (that requires asking questions of the status quo) is a direct threat to the ruling party. So it doesn't; happen. Which is why the Chinese state and companies perfer to steal innovation rather than do it themselves. And let's not pretent that the Chinese state is anything other than the greatest copier of ideas in history.

_"We have had massive deflation over the last 30 years mostly due to Chinese manufacturing."_ Massive deflation of the price of certain goods, and those low prices reached a historical low around 10 years ago and have been on the way back up since. That same Chinese expansion is the reason we're all paying higher prices for the fuel, steel, cement etc that Chinese firms and individuals want. That's not complex economics. _"China invests in manufacturing the uk does not, don’t blame China they are just doing manufacturing better because they understand manufacturing."_ While that's technically true, there are zero manufacturing innovations to have come from China. Chinese firms are able to keep prices so low because they pay their staff a tiny fraction of Western minimum wages, they work them 7-days a week, have zero health & safety, no social services (pensions, healthcare etc) and almost everything they make is copied, so they have no R&D costs. On top of that, the state also massively subsidises many industries (rather than funding hospitals, schools, pensions etc. On top of that, China's currency is not freely floating. We are not playing on a level field with China, and until we are, we should not engage with them economically.

Studying in universities is stealing now ?

China 0 wars . Usa constant wars

@@zacksmith5963 well USA and UK have made terrible mistakes in recent years but I hope we continue our journey of improvement. China is steady but it holds the party up as a replacement for what we would call the crown. China is fantastic but it needs to develop a democratic system in its own time. Just don't panic

@@zacksmith5963 1979 - Vietnam.

@@zacksmith5963 _"China 0 wars"_ Ask a Tibetan... or a Uighur... Or anyone from Taiwan.

@@zacksmith5963 ...that's not to mention China's support and approval of Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

Asia should reduce dependency on uk . Close all usa uk military bases in Asia Africa Latin America

Lol little pink is back… and what if these countries want these military bases? Heard of the Philippines which China keeps intimidating?

Also why do you talk as of Asia is unified with China, little pink? If anything they’re unified AGAINST the CCP so please make that distinction… also try reading more. You’re coming across as extremely ignorant.

@@Shrooms247 lol little orange is crying . None of these countries want usa military bases on their soil .. Just pacific island allowing chinese military scared usa. Yankees should stop being nazis

not only are EV's dangerous, but the supply chain is filthy

We need Chinese steel. UK steel is too expensive. Sanctions on Russia and net zero mean energy costs are crippling. Without cheap Chinese EVx to he age of mass car ownership is over

@@JesterEric Get rid of environmental restrictions. LOL

There's no law that makes people buy them.

​@@JesterEric _"Without cheap Chinese EVx to he age of mass car ownership is over"_ lol yeah ok mate. If there's a choice between enriching China (a nation that's been building itself up for war with the West for 15 years) and driving hybrid or ICE cars, all Western nations will choose ICE and hybrid cars. BTW, you know an average 5 seater Chinese electric car is twice as expensive as your average 5 seater Western car.
