    I don’t have to provide evidence because I am not the one making assertions.

            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

      a lot has fundamentally changed in the last 5 years.

      I said that there is reported decoupling.

      I am not the one making assertions.

      Why are you like this? debate-me-debate-me

        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.

          You said that there has been reported decoupling. That is an assertion. The fact that you are trying to worm your way out of it by way of semantics is just sad.

                  You are now again trying to worm your way out. No one has said you are advocating for a position. You made assertions and you maintained you had not made any. You maintained you did not have anything to share, nor did you have to share anything. You are now trying to make it into seeming as if the disagreement was one of misunderstanding, where it was believed you held these positions, which you now claim you do not. this is worm behaviour.

                    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.
