The chinese advantage

[strike chaos]

I'm taking macroeconomics in college, and in class we were talking about how china has advantages over the rest of the world, so I did some additional research. First, thanks to their censorship laws, not everything is allowed to be exported to china, like t-shirts, TV shows or episodes, anime, movies (which they only accept 10 a year), etc. So they can sell the rest of the world all of their goods, but we can only give them thing that make it through their strict censorship laws, even though a lot of the goods that are censored are main in their very own country. Second, each currency has it's own value in the currency exchange rate, the british pound is the highest and the Zimbabwean is the lowest, if I'm not mistaken. These currencies are constantly changing values due to multiple factors, but china is suppressing the values. Why? Because it then it's easier for people to outsource the work, makes it cheaper for other countries to buy their goods, and it helps keep the expensive foreign goods out. Third, some companies refuse to release some of their products into china, due to the fact china is the worlds leading illegally manufacturer of the products, of which, zero arrests.

Tell me your thoughts.

movies (which they only accept 10 a year)

Wait what? Literally, only ten foreign movies can make it into china per year? jesus christ i never knew.

itt: we point out the obvious by noting that communism is easy prey for corruption

China's population will gradually decrease if they plan on keeping the one child policy.

This isn't exactly the right point to be making because China is over-populated and this is precisely the reason they have the policy. the problem is that their one-child policy discriminates against female-child birth, which means that the real issue for China is that no more than a generation or so from now there will only be 1/5th the female population per male population, and therefore 3/5ths of the Male population have literally no chance of actually having wives or a family of their own. which is a huge economic stress, and sociologists are predicting what they call the soon to be "loveless" generation in China. mass-suicides will probably result as well

major loophole: single kids can have two children when they're adults.

how the heck does that work. it's not like that single kid rule only affects 1 generation (unless they abolish that law)
