>They're not charging each other $20 for a mutual handjob and saying the GDP is up $40
You mean to say they're trying to emulate real GDP growth on par with the USA in the 40s? They aren't though, China is falling for the same trap the west did and in 20-30 years nationalism in their nation will be almost non-existent. This is why I laugh at BRICS since it's essentially the same thing, a GDP scam that relies on trading with ignorant but fertile nations and China will run into the same problems we did. What happens when your "ignorant and fertile" trading partners start gaining quality of life through globalization and stop being naive? Ultimately you set yourself up for war, nations start engaging in asset denial over exports because they're losing their grip on the false economy they created, once that denial extends to base resources it's over. Whether you want war or not, it's coming and neither AI or crypto will save it.
