I went to China with unanswered questions about tariffs, its purchases of American treasuries, and whether the world is turning left again. I sat down with Matthew Klein, co-author of Trade Wars Are Class Wars, and Ning Zhu, whom I described as the professor who predicted China’s housing crash. I said the conversation was coming soon.
On 2023-04-05 at 13:47 UTC, I shared a post saying Western economies’ influence over oil pricing was declining fast, likely a sign of things to come, and that the world was changing. The post credited research to @financebyanmol. It does not explain the research or provide evidence for the claim.
The captured exchange continues with numbered links: 1/5 at https://t.co/qKHNTPIjpc, 2/5 at https://t.co/CcZUi0kc5B, 3/5 at https://t.co/VfnF7pYZoV, 4/5 at https://t.co/w44Zw9Pu0u, and 5/5 at https://t.co/IhN7E769Yf. The captured material does not identify what the linked posts contain.
I have a capture of a reply to @nikhilkamathcio that quotes their remarks about liking “his” books, finding Sapiens really good, and not yet finishing Nexus. The quoted post also describes geopolitics and society as suddenly fundamental to research, investment, and building in any sector or company, and says a conversation is “Coming soon.” These are @nikhilkamathcio’s words, not mine; the capture does not identify whose books “his” refers to or name the conversation’s participants.
The capture links to https://t.co/3XV4NoKpdr and credits footage to WEF under the CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 license, with source link https://t.co/Q19amFyYqx. It identifies footage intervals 00:00:00 - 00:00:12 and 00:01:09 - 00:01:17; the capture does not clarify the replying account’s relationship to the footage.
I later announced the full episode and shared https://t.co/K6YHPLCv19. I described it as covering why the dollar still has no real rival, where thirteen years of “missing inflation” went, why tariffs end up costing the people who impose them, and why Ning thinks prolonged trade imbalances have historically ended in war. The post names these topics but does not give the episode’s arguments or evidence.
