    What’s up with this weird jump in cpi? And what did China do Differently to us to not have high inflation?

      Investing in productive forces and quality of life for all makes for robustly strong economic indicators and basically no inflation problem. Cutting rentierism and in large part private profits out of the economy greatly helps these figures as well, and cuts off inflation at its source.

        Quality of life for the capitalist eastern seaboard. I believe that’s what you meant to say.

          Not at all, I say what I mean and mean what I say.

          There are some links in the study guide I linked in my other reply which go into the incredible improvements in material conditions for all Chinese peoples.

            Improvement in material conditions is when 60% of rural Chinese do not attempt high school, and 7% attend college, and their hukou caste system traps them in their birth villages forever?

      They didn’t pump hundreds of billions of dollars into the free market?

        Do you think china’s market is free? If so, the stated owned companies are the ones carrying the debt. Not sure how different that is to a state having the debt.

        And what about my other question. Where does this jump come from?

          Turns out, it’s advantageous to loan out money when global interest rates were dropping to about 0. Who woulda thunk?

            What are you talking about? China was never at 0% interest. What does that has to do with the previous comment?

              The principle being, lower interest rates lead to more debt because spending is less expensive.

        Look at the 5 year view to see the jump
