@jwcph @pluralistic I’m reading The New China Playbook by Harvard-educated economist Keyu Jin. It’s an interesting book but one of the author’s more baffling arguments (IMHO) is that the Chinese stock market’s lack of western-style growth is a deficiency in their capital markets, and that China would benefit from the likes of Blackrock or Goldman Sachs operating in the country. When I look at the achievements of China over the last 40 years I’m astounded that anybody would make such a claim.
