I should have expected you to miss my point. I shouldnāt have expected you to miss your own point, though.
You have an awfully strange concept of victory.
So, what now? Westerners are going to flee to China as refugees? NATO will be dissolved? The UN will move its headquarters to Beijing? I really donāt see a coherent argument here.
To be clear, Iām not saying your lockdowns-are-bad argument is in any way incoherent. Iām just saying your itās-all-over argument (or your the-west-is-the-worst-and-Chinaās-the-king-of-the-castle argument to be precise) makes no sense to me. Itās āstill on the ascendantā and so what? Economic growth =/= victory.
