Yeah, overproduction would be producing things that there is no demand for. What they're complaining about is that China is cornering the markets on crucial tech that everybody is going to want going forward.

Yup, I also loved this bit at the end:

Amid the war in Ukraine, the Kremlin has managed to continue to acquire essential chips and semiconductors via third countries, and it has successfully switched its oil exports to Asian buyers. However, the current stability is not likely to endure: in 1-2 years, the structure will begin to wobble due to accumulated imbalances, and possible social problems.

The same people who've been consistently wrong about everything for the past two years, and can't even predict what's going to happen in the short term are now confidently predicting that economic stability in Russia is not likely to endure. Like sure yeah, we can totally take their prediction about what's gonna happen 1-2 years from now seriously.

What China can do is help developing nations build out infrastructure and transfer technology to these nations to help them bootstrap their domestic industries. And this is precisely what China has been doing with great success.

It's absolutely hilarious to see how quickly libs are abandoning all their supposed values as soon as they feel that their ideology is under threat.

if we're being real I doubt it, but I still chuckled at the meme :)

it's a clown convention

lol no idea

It's just such a perfect visual allegory for the empire

redfash confirmed

Once people in the west show how to build something better than what China is doing then I'm all ears. So far, what we see in China is demonstrably better than what we see in the west pretty in every way that matters. China isn't perfect, but we need to compare its system to the real world alternatives available to us. Nobody says the west needs to copy what China is doing, but at there's clearly much to learn.

It's also not the place for westerners to tell Chinese people how to run their society. Seems to me that vast majority of people in China support their government and the way their political system works. If people in the west want to do something different, then nobody is stopping them.

I think it's basically making fun of marxists.org having garish UX

Maybe the best approach is to just dissect this stuff when it gets posted and explain why the takes are bad. Maybe can start aggregating common tropes and addressing them on prolewiki or something so we can just link to an existing article when something comes up repeatedly. I think it's particularly important to deal with people who claim to have a Marxist position and argue in bad faith because they ultimately end up driving people away. It has to be clear that they don't speak for us, and why we disagree with their position.
