China cashes in on America's coronavirus lockdown

China’s economy is getting a boost from soaring demand for tech products that make it easier and more efficient for Americans to work from home during the COVID-19 pandemic, according to economists at one Wall Street bank.

Tech shipments from China soared 37% from a year earlier in the April-through-June quarter, contributing 2.4 percentage points to the country’s overall export growth of 2%, wrote William Deng and Tao Wang, Hong Kong-based economists at investment bank UBS.

“Export shipments of automatic data processing units and parts, which include computers, tablets, monitors and parts, have seen a significant upswing since April,” according to Deng and Wang, who said Korea and Taiwan are also seeing “significant acceleration.”

Purchases by the U.S. surged 7.8% even as the total volume of imports into the world's largest economy shrank 20%.

“Our laws”?

You and Me don’t get to run the US Government. That is the job of the richest people in the world. They finance political campaigns and then get politicians to do their bidding.

I’m pretty sure everything is going EXACTLY as the richest people in the world want it to go. Don’t you?
