I've really enjoyed reading this collaboration, thank you.

You have captured the shifting of the recent internal dominating narrative of "over capacity" to "equipment renewal" .

You cite from an article written by Hu Xijin "In the West, nothing is more important than elections." . The phrase creates a connotative meaning, implying that in China elections are not considered as important as in the West. Whether this is true is up for debate, but this attitute seems to reveal a wide cultural and ideological gulf.

I do not wish make value judgements here but as a Communication Scientist it is fascinating to observe the interplay of Chinese thought and its changing sociology expressed initially in Chinese and translated into the English language.
