The Recovery from the Pandemic. (Econ)

So, it's been a while since the pandemic more or less "ended" in a way, but there are still some traces of what it's leaving us to deal with. Of course, this blog is primarily about economics, and we'll be talking about the recovery and/or worsening of the economy from the pandemic. Some people are still afraid and order online, some people refuse to buy things because they're "made in China" due to the Asian hate that's affiliated with not just China, but now the entire east Asian coast as a whole.
Do you think this could affect the economy in a way? And if so, how?
And another thing slightly off-topic, if the US decides to help with the situation in Ukraine by sparking a major conflict with Russia, with China's informal agreement to "coordinate diplomatic and economic moves, and build up and alliance against the United States," how do you think it will affect our technology, due to China being the one who makes most of the chips that go into our technology?
I'd love to hear your input and opinions, speak freely as you wish and you will receive no overly-opinionated disapproval from me.

Thank you.

-Sincerely, Charles.

The pandemic is still on going it ain't ended yet, what the hell you talking about.
 
I wouldn't worry about being too opinionated, in fact what really matters is the delivery. Just watch your tone and you can be as opinionated as you want to be. It's okay to disagree with people, just make sure you take the time to understand what they are saying (something I myself struggle with)

As far as China goes, there are plenty of good reasons to avoid buying from them, considering the CCP's many human rights abuses, how they really don't play fair on the world economic stage, and how they're trying to extend their "soft power" reach to negatively influence western countries. If you feel like getting into a youtube spiral you can probably spend a lot of time watching this guy: https://www.youtube.com/c/serpentza/videos
(I like his how I survived China video, it's really long, sure, but an informative look into a foreigner's life inside China.)

As for the actual topic? I think that it'll be a few years before we're stable again, and even then I don't think things will go back to being as good as they were before. I kind of fear that the world is slipping closer and closer to authoritarianism, considering the trends that we saw during the pandemic. Tons of countries were suddenly fine with treating their own citizens as public enemies, and got praised for it, while this provoked more extremism from the antagonized parties. (The anti vaxers, conspiracy theorists, whathaveyou.)

It's a growing trend of extremism begetting extremism, meaning we have large groups of people who see other large groups as nothing more than objectively evil enemies to be conquered. Unfortunately it seems that this is simply a part of human nature. I'm not saying that this isn't something that can be combated, but is what people naturally want to slip into, a path of least resistance if you will.

Sorry for the ramble, just trying to throw some thoughts out there for you to chew on.
