competition depends on the interaction between two main forces: capturing negative externality and extracting a spiral of responses from other firms. The first one is always beneficial irrespective of whether firms compete in prices or quantities, so collusion is more likely to occur in this setting. The benefit of the latter one depends on whether firms compete in prices or quantities if firms compete in prices this response is beneficial since the reaction functions slope upwards if firms…

we cannot see that our view of reality is wrong and unless we change the situation, and ourselves, there is no solution. The effect of these behaviors on other people creates relationships of distrust, disdain, and collusion (to appear as adversaries though in agreement) (collusion.(n.d.).).

By blaming them, they now have self-justification to…

By excluding Beijing from the peace settlement with Japan and by encouraging Japan to remilitarise, the US now appeared to be in close collusion with its own former enemy and posed a direct threat to the new government in China. What transpires within this context, therefore, is that the Massacre came to be invested with very different meanings. When the national monthly Xinhua…
