    Those exposed to Evergrande’s USD bonds and Evergrande shareholders are likely to be hardest hit by the China Evergrande deal.

    So "Chinese Nationals" just means citizens, right? Like, they're just trying to find a spooky way of saying, "this government looks out for its peoples", yeah?

      "Nationals" conjures an image of being detached from a normal context somehow. You never use it to describe people who were born in a country, who still live there, under a regular-old government. You'd never call a French person in Paris a "French national," for instance. It's almost always used to describe someone from Country A living in Country B, and there's often some temporary status or unusual circumstance attached (e.g., they fled from their home country for political reasons).

      It's textbook Othering in this case.

        It has real "regime" vibes. National is to Citizen as Regime is to Administration; one is the scary Bad Country, the other is the safe Good Country.

    Absolutely the best course of action. Fucking rad.

    Can't wait to see the stock market actually stabilize due to the nationalization of capital assets, surely economists will take note. Surely.

    Edit: just makes me hate the US so fucking much. If the government here gave any kind of shit about the people of this country back in '08 so many lives wouldn't have had to go to shit.

    My whole families still fucked from it, just gutted every thing we had and there's no real recovering.

    I'll spend the rest of my life just scraping by and trying to find some kind of stability and my parents will reach old age still worrying about money.

    However with this, things will probably end up better for the homeowners involved, more security in their purchase at the very least.

    Liberals: sure bailouts are bad, but if the companies go under workers and the people served will be hurt!

    CPC: *protects the workers and the people served without wasting a cent of taxpayer’s money*

    Liberals: wait. That’s illegal

    anyone remember back when the US government bought GM, let all of its executives fly private with government money and sold it back to them at a loss. our government is spineless.

      Our government isn't spineless, it's just working against us. Its function is to funnel money upward, and it performs this functional excellently

      Someone's gotta get left holding the bag, and it looks like the CPC's making sure it's the shareholders and not the homeowners.

      I mean, he had a good point about the relationship between the spaces constructed and who owns and has access to them, how the people traverse (or not) the space, etc. China didn't do a particularly effective job of creating public-serving spaces (as opposed to serving the intersts of owners) until the 2000s. It's doing pretty well now, though.

      Perhaps some institutions are "too big to fail", but none are "too big to nationalize"

    the maoist uprising against the landlords was the largest and most comprehensive proletarian revolution in history, and led to almost totally-equal redistribution of land among the peasantry
