Right.
It's a fascinating question.
I'm going to start with a history analogy.
You know, there was a big autarky fetishization in the late 20s and 1930s as well.
And you had this idea of sort of Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan that, you know, the equivalent of chips
um, or rare earths in that age was, you know, stuff like access to oil or other, or other minerals, or, um, there were all these like, um, you know, ball bearings, all these like critical inputs that if you didn't have control in a literal colony of yours, you didn't have factories in your country, then you were sort of subject to the whims of another country.
And if you think the world is fine and we're going to keep trading, then like, that's great.
That's like, you know, this is like Ricardian trade and like, we're all richer for it.
If you come at it from a perspective that they did in the 1920s and 30s with, you know, Mussolini and Stalin and Hirohito, that like, this is a vulnerability.
We are bound to get screwed.
So we need to act first and, you know, get what's ours because it's all going to, you know, come to shit sooner or later.
Then you end up in these very dangerous situations.
dynamics and look, I, I don't think that we are like the, the fetishization of doing everything in a way, which is entirely like on your land and controlled by you.
And, you know, you can feed your country with like the, the, the farms that are in your land mass.
Like we're not entirely there yet.
Um, but it has been fascinating that I think China was very early to this.
You know, there is like a deep aspect of like PRC history where they feel like they've gotten screwed.
And so even before the October, like far before the October 7th controls, like when she comes to like, you can find dumb quote, you can find mal quotes about this.
You can find dumb quotes about this.
One of the first speeches she gives is all talking about sort of self-reliance and not being vulnerable to having the other world, like other countries like bully us around, be that.
