In practically every article of this sort, the "cost’ section consists of insinuations and innuendo, such as China getting stronger, China being allied with Russia/Iran, more countries depending on and having a closer relationship with China, and so on. The statements lack any explanation of why that’s bad, it’s expected of the trader to infer the villainy of China as something self-evident.

The sad part of course is that none of this is isolated, the insinuations are culturally engrained at this point and the few readers that bother follow the inferences as expected. That little bit manages to poison what was a perfectly positive story at its core, like a drop off ink in clear water.

Bourgeois paper owners deserve a nice long swim in concrete underpants.
