Friday Love For Ya'll.

Hey Laowinners,

Did I use, "Ya'll" correctly? We don't say that in the bitter cold forests of the Northeast. It's a fun word, though.

ANYWAY!

Thanks to all of you who hung out with me on the livestream. It's posted in its entirety above. 

I did it differently this time, so instead of just doing a Q&A, I did a full video topic for the first 30 minutes about my predictions on where I think China is going. 

This was the most controversial video I've ever put out, but I want to stress that the Chinese people that see outside of the box, and that is a huge chunk of them, are the people that I give the utmost respect.

Have an AWESOME weekend my lads and ladies. I am off to our last ultrasound before Vivi gives birth to Lucia! Wish us luck!

Friday Love For Ya'll.

YouTube “keynote speaker: peter zeihan; America at the edge” is excellent and covers a lot. For a troublesome theory on China’s growth watch “crouching tiger: John Mearsheimer” or Mearsheimer’s longer talks on China. He’s not political and doesn’t take sides, and says he hopes he is wrong in China’s case. Mearsheimer(U of Chicago) has given his China rising talk 35 times in China. The crouching tiger video is by the White House’s now head of trade, Peter Navarro. I personally communicated with Navarro when he was an Econ prof at UC Irvine. When you see enough of the geopolitics speakers you understand why Trump may have chosen Navarro and why the US elected Trump, and get the idea that the way things play out is not by chance but simply a selection of a few select “scripts” available, and that each govt is forced into limited editing of those scripts due to situation/geopolitics. You and Winston may have been caught up in the present script that Xi was forced to read and enforce. ...oh, and BTW watch Navarro’s video “Death By China”(you can find it free on YouTube “death by China full movie”) if you are feeling up to an even more dire outcome than Mearsheimer suggests. Keep your family safe during the coming times. I think I speak for everyone on this blog that I hope Mearsheimer is wrong. Zeihan however has a chart in one of his talks showing China’s enormous new trend toward debt to employ and occupy its citizens to keep them happy. One would think if the Jenga tower of debt inevitably falls the leadership could pivot toward nationalism and conflict to occupy the populace...sad outcome then but Xi now has the power to do that or anything. Maybe China will surprise us?

Matt, Thought you and the viewers might appreciate Peter Zeihan and his take on future(and recent past) of China.
