I'm pretty sure that's our economy too. Your bank account is just numbers in a database. If it crashes and the backups/recovery solution all fails then you're money's just fucking gone.
The second lady (I believe) in the beginning also complained about not being able to make money transfers through the bank (without getting calls about it), which implies that the bank isn't good at the digital side of things either.
I think the missing perspective is they're applying western value to these issues.
These problems would have reduced any western country into self destruction but because China is authoritarian and has no qualms about gulag'ing their own people, they can last longer because they're removing potential rebellion leaders early.
I have no particular love of China but I've been hearing this shit for decades and SOMEHOW the multiple-millennia-old civilization HAPPENS to pull through. I'll believe China's dead when the maps change.
They "pull through" because they're a nation of slaves who can't do much else, but that doesn't mean things are running smooth or easy; they're lashing out in many different ways. Employees at multiple companies hadn't paid their employees in MONTHS. They set the factories on fire!
There's many other examples of so-called "protests against society." The point is this: they're in no position to "take over the world" as their news media -- and ours -- like to project. China is barely surviving, not thriving. That's the point!
I'd argue that China today is very much a different country than Mao's China, which is a very much different country than Three Kingdoms China. It is not a "multiple-millennia-old civilization".
Like, to use a simple example, "Toronto" (the location now associated with being the capital of Ontario, Canada) has been a place, a location of name, for like a thousand years. Not one political movement, not one tree, nor blade of grass, nor even genetic marker in an inhabitant from back then is there now. No memes, no genes, no scenes. Changed ownership a dozen times to a dozen different peoples. I would say "Toronto" is a fairly young city, not an ancient millennium-old municipality. So too with China. The Three Kingdoms fought bloody wars over China's ownership, it isn't a Ship Of Theseus situation, it's a "someone completely different took over, changed everything except the name in one fell swoop" situation.
This is what an all-digital economy looks like: the banks are completely insolvent!
The "money" in "your" account are just numbers on a screen, backed by nothing but fiat, and enforced from the barrel of a gun.
I'm pretty sure that's our economy too. Your bank account is just numbers in a database. If it crashes and the backups/recovery solution all fails then you're money's just fucking gone.
But lead will always hold its value.

They're insolvent. China is a "paper tiger" and Trump is missing every opportunity to put them in their place.
The bank already spent the money on a bunch of styrofoam sky scrapers that were vacant for 8 years then fell over.
haha but look at the gdp that'll make even benji's wife wet!
Did you know she's a doctor?

Their prisons, at least, aren't built out of styrofoam and prayers.
It sounds like what's already happened in Britain or America already.
