Maybe
But then again, I think there are also some interesting narrative shifts unfolding
To begin with, you have 100s of western journalists who have not been to China for almost a decade showing up and suddenly saying “hold on a second. What happened here??? How come China has better cars, better phones, better trains, etc… So that’s one sudden narrative shift
Another is the idea that China is uninvestible because “China is about to invade Taiwan”. Anyone with two brain cells and/or isn’t on the payroll of the US military industrial complex now acknowledges that this won’t happen. Prior to Russia invading Ukraine, Biden was not bringing half of his cabinet to Moscow to shake hands with Putin…
Anyway, lots of narrative shifts
Including the ABC idea (anything but China) being buried in real time…
