    My thoughts on TEMU: it’s a CCP astroturphing campaign to overtake Amazon et al.

    Their model fits that narrative imo.

    First exploit citizens to increase national economic growth. They then had a monopoly on outsourced production. They began stealing IP from company’s that did business with them. They flooded Amazon et al with cheap knockoff products, price wise there’s no competing with them.

    Now they’re going to cut out the middlemen. TEMU is the latest attempt to divert what little they don’t own of the marketplace to their own pockets.

    Don’t get me wrong, fuck all the big monopoly billionaire enabling companies of today. But right now it’s then vs a stronger Chinese economy (read military) and I’ll settle for the status quo until we get that dissolved.
