China may have a small window to get their house in order before things stop going in their favor.

They've invested like crazy to bootstrap domestic industries. Some have worked (manufacturing, batteries, telecom). Some are still works in progress (compute, AI, etc.)

But they're running out of time. They've invested like crazy in certain sectors and their demographics get worse day by day.

Also - they may be richer. But richer people don't want to work shit jobs, but they're not rich enough and well-trained to compete well for the good jobs either.

Can the regime withstand multiple years of stagnation or worse?

I'd agree - they're scared, insecure and lashing out.

There are restrictions here too, are you first responder or do you have symptoms. But it's a start.

They're going to have to eat shit.

Not odd, just really good.... pesto and red sauce together.

One day...it’s funny how little free time one has with a toddler.

It would not surprise me. Toilet paper is still so hard to come by.

How about literology? Good or bad?

Bad news

Wires are forever.

But seriously, it’s seasoning with various herbs, spices and especially fennel seed.

Actually, I thought Rudy lost the plot in that interview. If you notice, the Fox interviewer appeared to be rather nonplussed by what he said. I don't think he understands what tracing is for.
