As a previous tourist to China, I saw but a modicum of it, but it was weird.
The first advert I saw was on the train from the airport. And it was for industrial amounts of tin foil.
Like not for the kitchen, the ad on the train was for anyone who might need mass amounts of tin foil for manufacturing. It was weird that advertising for industry was like.. one of the biggest categories therein. Much much less direct-to-consumer advertising.
quite restrained not making the China line red so it could loom menacingly
The y-axis should be labeled "At what cost?"
Reference for who's counted under "High/Middle-income industrial economies":
China's dip is barely under the not covid high of everyone else is definitely a thing to be flexing.
lmao the small dip in Chinese production in 2022 is significant enough to be visible in global production even when the other economies were on a small rise
See you can tell that China is about to collapse at any moment because they had to make a line without China because China is building so much more production than everyone else
