Rather comprehensive “propaganda,” that includes a discussion of all the assumptions being made. Or is everything with which you disagree “propaganda?”
Define export? Does it include all services rendered as well? What domestically is growing their economy even in those areas that are internally consumed, foreign investments from firms like Boeing, GM, Cisco, IBM, McDonalds....... China’s economy is like S. Korea, Germany (post war), Japan (post war); an economy that bets on exports to grow industrially. Their domestic consumer does not have the “money” to buy a Lenovo laptop; he does not have the money to buy the products produced there.
If I give you only $100 a month to live on, you’ll spend it on water and food. If I give you another $100 you might try to get a tarp and some wood for a fire. If I give you yet another $100 you might even get a radio and some cloths. Most of China to this day is in poverty parts are even borderline starving. They do not have the means to afford the industrial nor the consumer goods and services produced there. Of their economy, much is involved with essentials that are domestically consumed. ***The industrial/technological component*** of their economy is INDEED driven by exports and only now beginning to become more accessible to their domestic consumer as some of the new financially wealthy Chinese can afford these products, such as Refrigerators (Something not common in MOST Chinese households even 10 years ago).
This is indeed propaganda because its a distortion of reality.
“Or is everything with which you disagree propaganda?”
My claim was based on fact - that China is the #2 exporter in the world.
Do you dispute this?
