“Made in China 2025” is going to cause Beijing more headaches than anyone

In fact the problems China has created have little or nothing to do with China 2025 and everything to do with Mr. Xi becoming China's "President for life" a while ago.

The trade with emerging Asian countries has historically been that the West gives them a leg up and in return the West expects them to eventually embrace becoming a liberal democracy. China under Mr. Xi has broken the pact that's why the West is no longer willing to indulge China 2025 or a lot of other China initiatives.

Can't say I mind too much about subsidies for solar panels and electric vehicles regardless of the motivation.

Crabs in a bucket. We can't have China investing in high technology, then we'd have to invest too!
