evidence
Jiang identifies indigo dye, handicrafts, jewelry, Persian Gulf colonies, large ships, navigation, tin, and lapis lazuli as parts of the IVC's long-distance trade position.
diagnosis
He says elite failures in Afghanistan, Iraq, the 2008 financial crisis, and COVID policy have destroyed trust in government, media, science, the military, and other institutions.

evidence

evidence
Jiang identifies his Afghanistan UN work as a rude awakening to American empire, NGO corruption, warlord protection, relic smuggling, opium protection, and expat profiteering.
diagnosis
He argues that after 9/11 the United States destroyed multiple Middle Eastern states for no good reason, revealing itself as a bully rather than a guarantor of order.
