Please, someone explain to me why liberals are mad at China's trade policies. What do they base their unhinged conspiracy theories about China trying to "destroy world trade" on? What do you even say to these liberals who thinks China is going to "dominate" the world and do unspecified bad things?

Is that a thing? Usually referring to economics as political is verboten to liberals, and political economy typically means Marxism, no?
It also means classical liberalism :jordan-eboy-peterson:
Which you know, it's funny when right wingers go around calling themselves classical liberals because then it's like, so you subscribe to the labor theory of value? You know there was a guy who wrote a few deep critiques of that stuff and pointed out some very uncomfortable political implications.
Then they'll go like, marginal revolution! Real capitalism has never been tried! Communism 10 billion!
Which means that they think the neoclassical economists did an endrun around Marx and cut politics completely out of the picture. So "classical liberals" today like neoclassical economics. Which makes them classical liberals with neoclassical characteristics, you know... neo...liberals...
Anyway, I was thinking about this stuff yesterday and it made me laugh.
