Why ask us? I'm sure there are better places on the intertubes to answer such questions.

Posted By: revorFrom what I can make out UK subbing the Nissan project to tune of £100 million + why are we spending tax payer money to help make China wealthier, will we get a return on the grant? and why sub a project that Nissan would have done anyway?Part of the deal to keep then in the UK, presumably.
Posted By: fostertomKing Canute is grossly misrepresented by history. He didn't think he could stop the waves - he was just domonstrating to his fawning courtiers that he had no such powers.
Little England, or even MAGA America, can't stop a giant wave like China - it's far too late for that, and anyway effective policies to keep China in her place would have been catastrophic, worldwide. Through most of written history, China has been the greatest world power, albeit not in European colonising style. 300yrs of European dominance is just a little blip. Like it or not, China is reasserting her geopolitically-inevitable position, especially as disintegrating America has squandered the unique impregnable-island-continent geopolitical advantage that arose through her unification.
So it's no good trying to gang up on China or boycot her multiple kinds of influence. Instead 'the rest of the world' begins a messy era of creative accommodation with the tiger - the one certainty being that putting China back in her place is a non-starter. 'China Invades' won't cut it.
Posted By: Cliff PopeExactly. China can't be just giving us all this stuff, we obviously are selling a roughly equal quantity to them.
So presumably there are equal worries in China about markets being flooded with western goods?

One risk is the spiral grows unsustainably fast for the environment. However the UK economy has managed to grow substantially since 1990 whilst halving our GHG emissions, so Im not sure about the old argument that "environment protection will conflict with growth/jobs/wealth." But who knows.
