So make a place a global trade hub in theory can be as simple as saying it is so and watching every country trade there, only in one's imagination.

So now the region is going to be made into a great Singapore for the Mediterranean using billions of dollars of tax money from nations including Egypt, Turkey, Greece, Cyprus, etc?

That's not a global trade hub. That's a globally subsidized tax haven. Whose long-term stability Congress from the whim of nations like the USA, China, Russia, the EU, Iran, Saudi Arabia, etc...

With that, it would be infinitely easier and more attractive for any nearby nation to create a special economic area to handle regional trade & take the jobs, and the best part? This would be funded by the respective nation itself.

yes, this is part of Chinese history.

Republic of China formed by Sun Yat-sen is sincerely praised by both Taiwan & China as the birth of their modern state.

The flag is the 5 races under one union flag, referring to the Han (most), the Manchu, the Hui, the Mongols, & the Tibetians

There are limits to these 'not the onion' jokes...

Though to think Amazon was more than ready to sell them tho...

What makes me laugh about this entire things is that if Oprah Winfrey & The Rock didn't donate anything this conversation would not even be happening & I'm sure everyone here would be happier.

Just nod, good for them, more money to Maui, move on lmao

purchasing power parity. $50 USD can get much more in one of these countries than in the USA

You tell the average dude about how servers exist and the first instinct is that it matters, so they stop, fret about the importance, look for a second, then just drop it because they dont give enough hoots yet to invest more effort versus using a centralized service.

Want ppl to join, don't even tell them about servers. No choice paralysis, no fear of being wrong, nada

Like I havent read comics in many years, but even under your own logic, you're giving manga far too much praise.

For every Goblin Slayer there are literally 100+ "i am moody depressed businessman in his 30's killed for no real reason & teleported into a rpg game universe to be a tool of the first woman i meet to solve their life issues"
