People who are completely dependent on Chinese exports, imports and investments are talking about China cannot be a world power. Bobo we are in Nigeria. What happens if China stops all exports of all the solar panels we are rushing, or bans Temu and SHEIN that all of us are using daily as we mitigate the cost of living crisis or Opay stops working for 1 month. These are just some of the areas where we are exposed directly to China, so don’t worry about generic things, think about how exposed we already are in the event of a break in diplomatic ties lol

This is a chart here from 2013 of the basic salary of lawmakers as a ratio of GDP per person. Nigeria was the top (GDP has since fallen, salaries have increased). This is just “basic salary.” Not counting allowances and other benefits and pensions etc. We will also act naive and not factor in all their budget padding, allocations and outright looting since we want to be politically correct in the face of blatant realities. economist.com/graphic-detail…
