Until the rich quit getting richer via China, little will change toward China other than a few hand slaps and harsh rhetoric. Sounds about right... PS - Good to see a familiar face. Hope you and yours are doing okay during our "little difficulty". I heard. V2 is a cesspool, but I try to walk away when it gets to nasty and stupid. 😋

But they won't stop getting rich via China. China already subcontracts some of its manufacturing to other countries with express clauses forbidding contact with the original companies. China has been pumping real money into Africa and South America for a loooong time. China has been colonizing with cash rather than guns. This is the 21st Century. The powers that be have found an easier, less expensive way to conquer the world by just giving the people what they want in terms of cheap consumer goods. Bread and circuses worked in Rome...until it didn’t. Oddly, in China, the "bread and circus" is access to "luxury" western goods. Unfortunately, stopping the exportation of these goods to China or increasing their will only lead to the expansion of the SK economy due to Chinese consumer tourism... which is already HUGE.
Another thing to remember is that not all goods produced in China are inexpensive and of low quality. You're simply getting the quality that you are willing to pay for.

1. Of course, who doesn't want to own a flat-screen digital TV the size of a small drive-in theatre screen? 2. In that case, I'm definitely not buying their beer!

I think that the only Chinese beer that is exported is Tsing Tao and the brewing recipe for it is different than the brew sold domestically. In fact, Tsing Tao Premium - as it is known - costs more to purchase domestically as well.
Regular Tsing Tao costs about 10 to 15 RMB in a restaurant (550 ml) and Tsing Tao Premium (330ml) costs 20 or 25.

I think that works out to about $5.25 AUD, so it sounds like it'd be worth a try. Half an hour later, I expect I'd want another one. But that'd be the case regardless of the nationality of the beer.

I've already had two HLLs to quench my dry throat and rinse away the dust, but... It's just not enough.
