China goes even further lol

No country in the world is full free market economy. It is always a spectrum.

We are discussing Chinese models. Now look at how much foreign competition the Chinese government prevents in their domestic market in other industries.

I replied to a comment with a structured informal proof on HN.

A well established user here was adamant that I used AI because apparently humans never ever wrote proofs.

This was a while ago. Any well crafted human output is now being dismissively cast as AI if the reader is challenged by the output intellectually/politically.

Wasn’t it the US that caught European companies in the emissions scandal

What do you think about legalizing drugs?

Not a lot got absorbed into Hinduism though. Look at the link for factors that contributed.

Jainism and Sikhism have survived and didn’t get absorbed into Hinduism.

Buddhism wasn’t exterminated due to violence like Zoroastrianism from Iran.

Look forward to Tamil being used in mosques and the Adan being in Tamil instead of Arabic.

Most western cities were trays filled till a few decades. Some like SF and Seattle still have zones that resemble a war zone. Have you been to Skid row in LA? Yeah, culture is real.

Most of Western cities were open landfills till a few decades ago despite advantages reaped from colonialism.

India still has some negative momentum from nearly 300 years of European colonialism. 700 years of Islamic occupation that destroyed native universities like Nalanada didn’t help.

system of "insurance", whereby people may pay a fee directly to the Guild and therefore become immune to robbery for a specified period.

We call that taxes

How many conversations have you been in where people were bragging about how good their health coverage is and trying to one-up each other

Do imaginary conversations in the shower count?

But that is not the topic being discussed. Is it?

Yes. The US doesn’t require language fluency for green cards. You can even bring your own interpret to the interview.

United States issues the highest absolute number of permanent residency permits in the world. It grants approximately 1 to 1.4 million lawful permanent resident (LPR) cards (Green Cards) annually

For the US, you don’t have to know English for permanent residency. You can even have your interview in your own language with an interpreter

Canada and Europe call for banning American companies in their the name of sovereignty: upvoted and praised as necessary

America tries that for valid reasons (unfair subsidies, human or labor rights violations, BYD): get called fascist or stupid

Most of these are ex government monopolies, some still are.

It makes them even worse if you are defining fascism. Look up Italy when fascism was alive.

We also don't have dictators taking over all parts of our governments

Because they are already in charge.

Really? It is quite fashionable to call the US fascist while going gaga at other countries that have similar or worse conditions. Let me bring receipts.

   The most striking difference is that top investors in Europe hold much higher stakes than in the United States. The top ten in Europe features several governments.

Do you want to apply the word you had in mind to those governments too?

How is the filtering done? Manually or with AI?

So does China. E.g.,

China goes beyond protectionism and even threatens other countries from doing their own strategy.

The authors conclude that non-tariff barriers were a primary instrument used by China in the U.S.-China trade war, with implications for China’s trade conflicts with other countries.

So does the EU

Interestingly, champions of free trade come out only when the US puts in any place the tiniest of restrictions.

  inundated with advertising, unwanted cookies, unnecessary JavaScript, false news, scams,

What signs do you see?

Are they hiding true solutions treating the underlying issues?

This is so out of touch. Go to Neurips or the top AI conferences to see what is happening.

By this population-only logic, you should concede that India will overtake China.

Why not talk about how China shut out American companies for decades before complaining about BYD?

As an Indian immigrant, the PRC China has engaged in conflict with almost all its neighbors and stated wars in its short history.

China is not so benevolent when they get to the #1 spot:

US never championed free trade if by free trade you mean "anything goes."

Really strange that rest of the world can tariff and put up barriers, but once the US does that, all free-trade warriors step out of the wood work.

what economics told me the free market was all about.

Don't complain when US starts to play by the same rules China has been using for decades.

“Prove X without using the axioms need to prove X.”

Now it is getting traction. Go back a few decades and you would be mocked as hippy, new agey, zealot, etc., depending on the continent and decade.

There is still resistance in India to teaching this in government schools.

Something that yoga has propounded for centuries, been mocked and now science confirms it and the ignores the history and cultural practice.
