I say props to Stuart for not letting Goodhart get the best of him, and we should follow suit. Investing in China might be profitable (i.e. provide financial returns), but it also increases the probability of living in a world that I don’t want to live in- for selfish reasons as much as moral reasons.
When investing, it’s far too easy to be blinded by the numbers, and end up actively incentivizing bad things to happen. That’s not something rationalists should strive to do.
