BrikoX@lemmy.zipMto Global News@lemmy.zip•Trump vows huge new China tariffs as markets nosediveEnglish3·5 days agoChina is no longer only the manufacturer of cheap Chinese replicas.

And Chinease citizens did see it as worthy investment, but after the crash they got burned and now are not investing at all which just deepens the issue.

BrikoX@lemmy.zipMto Global News@lemmy.zip•'Historic moment': South Koreans react to Yoon's dismissalEnglish2·8 days agoIt’s basically a few so called Chaebol families that control the whole country. The politicans are just public facing placeholders.
