    Feel free to provide evidence to support your unsubstantiated claims. So far it looks like what's actually happening US is actively becoming more dependent on China. https://www.globaltimes.cn/page/202403/1308390.shtml

      I'm not making claims. I'm asking for more info because what you gave was insufficient.

        You literally claimed things changed fundamentally earlier without any evidence to back that up. You haven't even bothered to substantiate your assertion that the ample evidence you were already provided with is insufficient.

          Incorrect. I said that there is reported decoupling. Your chart doesn't cover the period of the supposed decoupling so I'm requesting information that covers that period too. That is all I have said or requested. Quote me otherwise. I've been very careful with how I've written.

            Unless you can provide actual evidence that some dramatic changed happened during that period, then there's no point to continue this discussion. Your whole argument hinges on an assumption that you've provided no basis for.

                      I am not asserting there is decoupling. There is reported decoupling and I'm asking for a counter perspective. This really isn't that hard.

                        post a link to this “reported decoupling”. a link with data, not speculation. the users above provided data of a trend of increased reliance on China for manufacturing inputs. if you have data that indicates the trend has reversed, show it to us. otherwise, you are just mindlessly guessing

                          Bro, do you understand what a request for information is, or is everything a debate to you?

                            dont "bro" me. also ur the one being a debate pedant. users gave data about trade with China. then you made a claim that there was "reported decoupling" but didnt provide evidence. not only did you not provide evidence for decoupling, you didnt even provide evidence for the supposed reports. arguing in bad faith is against CoC. so stop being a debate pervert, stop arguing for the sake of arguing, and stop assuming you dont have to support your claims

                  I am not asserting decoupling. I am saying that I have been told there is decoupling by others and I'm asking for a counter perspective. This really isn't that hard.

                      Here is an example of this reporting: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2023-06-22/what-is-us-china-decoupling-and-how-is-it-happening

                      TO BE CLEAR I AM NOT I AGREEMENT WITH THIS LINK. I AM NOT TAKING A POSITION ON THIS MATTER. I AM ONLY REQUESTING AN ALTERNATIVE VIEWPOINT BECAUSE I WANT TO BE INFORMED. THIS IS NOT A DEBATE.

                              No moron, you think you're in a debate because youre a keyboard warrior going aggro at the slightest interrupt of your circle jerk.

                              The only "assertion" I've made is that there has been reporting that there is decoupling between China and the US economies. And this is true! There is reporting! I'm not even claiming the reporting is correct, I've only requested alternative perspectives with evidence! That is all.

                              I have been very clear and up front from the beginning. You however are a dog chasing parked cars.

                              The issue is not a misunderstanding. It's you being an idiot.

                              I have not taken a stance anywhere in this thread about whether or not China and the US are decoupling. If this was otherwise you could prove it with a quote. But you can't. Because you're trying to fight someone who isn't interested in a debate. Idiot.

                                  I'm literally the one saying this isn't a debate, dude.

                                  I didn't lie. You're just an idiot.

                                      The only assertion I made was that there had been reporting of decoupling. I did not assert there had been decoupling. If you can't understand the difference between those two then I really can't help you. At worst I spoke sloppy to a pendant.
