A Conversation With Max On China-US Trade War 2.0: Insights From Our Founder
Q: Thanks for taking the time, we know you have just been off a meditation session, how was your trip this time?
A: "It was incredibly purifying and recharging. The experience provided exactly the mental reset I needed."
Q: What's your comment on the latest China/US trade war 2.0?
A: "The situation is deeply concerning. From my perspective, both the US and China lack effective intermediary negotiators, while simultaneously maintaining seemingly non-negotiable positions. This creates a dangerous impasse."
Q: What do you suggest?
A: "Both sides need to approach this with patience and strategic thinking. Hasty decisions will only escalate tensions. China and the US are indispensable drivers of global technological advancement and social development to the next level. Taking a short-sighted approach now could hamper humanity's progress for decades to come."
Q: Who do you think benefits the most from this new wave of global disruptions?
A: "India and maybe Russia"
Q: Do you think Trump's solution will work?
A: "It's a mixed proposition. His approach contains elements that could be effective but requires substantial refinement. More fundamentally, I believe the direction misses the bigger picture. Within the next 5-10 years, automation and AI will transform our concept of work entirely. The priority should be ensuring quality of life standards for all citizens, particularly those who are underprivileged, during this course. The coming technological revolution will address many of our current economic challenges if we manage the transition properly."
Q: Why do you think it is like this now?
A: "The root cause lies in our economic structure's fundamental imbalance. The top few percent have disproportionately benefited from globalization, quantitative easing, pandemic-related market shifts, and other macroeconomic factors. Meanwhile, the vast majority of the population hasn't shared in these gains and is increasingly bearing the burden of these structural issues, like inflations. Additionally, market valuations have become detached from reality, something Chinese competitors have already demonstrated, particularly in the technology sector."
Q: What do you suggest investors do?
A: "In such a volatile market, I hesitate to make specific recommendations. The current environment requires extreme caution and perhaps patience above all else."
Q: What do you hope for?
A: "I hope we can shift our collective focus toward the development of AGI rather than becoming distracted by these comparatively minor conflicts. The real transformation of our society lies in technological advancement, not trade disputes."
