China's economy will slow down. Sure, this is the wish of China's competitors, the losers...but when?

  The anti China bandwagon has been calling for this since the days of Gordon Chang. And that was 26 years ago. But China continues to grow from strength to strength and in purchasing power parity terms is now the biggest economy in the world, bigger than America at nearly US$50 trillion. How is that for size? Many have given up calling for the collapse of China. The new narrative, China's economy is slowing down. This is a big consolation for those wishing China to collapse. The slightest sign of China's economy slowing down, the news of America imposing new sanctions, stop selling this and that to China will be picked up as good news to the doomsayers. Hurray, China is slowing down. China's population is ageing and not reproducing, China is facing a major crisis,....

No one bothers about the US$39 trillion American debt, the growing non competitiveness of American goods and services. No one bothers about the negative growth in Europe, all facing recession, no issues. European economies are also facing the same challenges as the Americans, unable to compete in the international market, nothing worth producing and selling to the world, and still forced to buy over expensive oil and gas from America. The Indians are also gloating that China is facing serious economic problems, not India. Indian economy is roaring ahead, in spite of the AI challenge against India's biggest source of cheap labour. Every country is sending the Indians home to roast in 51 degree heat.

Seriously, what is China still selling to the world? What are China's growth engines?  Huawei 5G and Beidou GPS are taking over the market outside America and western Europe. Heard of 6G? Already developed and available. China's EVs are making the legacy automobiles redundant, with the whole ICE industry facing obsolescence and bankruptcy. China's electric motorcycles are quietly taking over the world. China's shipbuilding industry is building ships and containers for the whole world. China's commercial aircraft is coming into the market with quality and prices that Boeing and Airbus cannot beat. Chinese high speed train is not only cheap and good, but no country can build and deliver high speed system as fast and efficiently as China. China is going to monopolise the market like solar panels, mobile phones and consumer household equipment and electronics and pharmaceuticals. China's apparel, shoes, fashion goods are selling like hot cakes in online platforms. And China has cornered the rare earth industries to the tune of 80 to 90 percent market share. Next comes the Chinese military aircraft, warships and weapon systems, the missiles and drones, not only cheap and good, with no string attached, no political conditions, not only can be bought by swiping a credit card, Chinese overcapacity production means the goods and products can be had tomorrow, no need to wait for years.

These are only some of the growth engines powering China ahead for years to come. And there is another big business that the Americans are creating for China that is unstoppable. No it is not just high end chips. This market will be taken over by China soon with new manufacturing processes and ways of making more advanced chips at more affordable prices, like AIs and data centres. China will greatly benefit from the destruction all over the world by the American war machine. All the countries that have been bombed to the ground will need Chinese infrastructure prowess to help them rebuild their countries quickly, efficiently and economically, with big towns and cities being built overnight.

Who else, which country has so many growth engines and so many opportunities and the resources to rebuild and sell to the world? China's industrial capacity is complete, from the tiniest screw and pin to bridges expanding several miles apart, VLCC, satellites and space stations. You name it, China can manufacture or build it.

China's economy slowing down? Stop the delusion. Is there a country that has the above growth engines? India is claiming to be the fastest growing economy, to overtake China, even claiming that China's economy is stalling, collapsing. The only growth engine in India is cow dung manufacturing.

What about America and Europe? Ask what are their growth engines or industries. How many are there or still there? Better to ask how many of their former growth engines are now dying.

USA and Western leverage of using economic coercion to cripple countries is over

The USA and Western leverage of using economic coercion to cripple countries is over. Trying to pull another 'Plaza Accord' against China is fanciful thinking. After all, China, unlike Japan, is not in the G7, the countries that plotted the scam using the Plaza Accord against Japan that was meant to cripple Japan's export juggernaut then; by depreciating the US$ against Japan in particular, and also the currencies of the others. An effort to bring about a falling US$ today will bring disaster to the USA's economy. The USA is no more a net exporter and a depreciated US$ will cause inflation to soar. It will devalue investments in US Treasuries, bonds and cannibalizing retirement funds. This also cannot happen without China agreeing to appreciate the Yuan substantially. Why would China do that to cut its nose to spite its face.

China now has the support of the Global South countries buying what it cannot hope to sell to the USA and Europe as before. The USA cut off Chinese EVs from being sold in the country, but domestically and elsewhere Chinese EVs are selling well enough to sustain the Chinese EV industry. Moreover, China also controlled the major source of batteries for EVs for EV makers of the rest of the world. China has several channels to cut off and cripple most ICE and EV producers in USA and Europe - chips, batteries and rare earth magnets. That fiasco could be gleaned from the Netherland Government's seizure of Nexperia that caused serious problems to vehicle manufacturers not just in Europe, but in the USA as well. The name plate of Nexperia was seized, but the manufacturing assets remain inside China. That was all that matters.

Trump, Vance and clowns are the best circus in the world...in leadership

That brings me to J. D. Vance criticism that Britain has been 'failed by its leadership' over the last two decades.

Can I safely say it is just the pot calling the kettle black. How about the USA itself? Is it really that great now under Trump and J. D. Vance leadership? J. D. Vance is afraid of looking into the mirror, but he should have done so before dishing out criticism of the British. He is no better a leader than the Brits. At least the Brits had no drag queens within their ranks, lol. I love it when the Anglo-Saxon Whites start to throw each other under the bus. Nothing makes my day just watching the clown show.

Now that Britain is going to appoint a new PM, J. D. Vance is trying to start the ball rolling by interfering in the choice of the next PM. Of course, the Brits do not have the marbles to accuse the USA of doing that. That would be a thief calling another as thief. The USA wanted to be in a position to choose the next leader for the UK if possible, just like in Venezuela but failing in Iran.

I have a feeling that Iran is purposefully holding the funeral of the assassinated Ayatollah Ali Khameini on July 4th, four months after his assassination just to coincide with the USA's Independence Day also on July 4th. It holds a significant message that his death is not forgotten, and vengeance is not going to be forgiven. On this day that the USA is celebrating Independence Day, the USA must remember its crime against humanity.

Trump wants Iran to buy American soya beans using money he robbed from Iran

Another very significant sign of USA's desperation has now been revealed with Trump asking Iran to help USA farmers by buying its corn, soya and other farm products. Imagine attacking a country and then trying to ask that country for help. Only a shameless person like Trump can do such a thing. The thief asking the victim to help sounds weird.

The hogwash reason that Trump gave was that Iran is now short of food and therefore Trump is very magnanimous, offering to sell food to Iran. Now before we get the wrong idea, Trump is going to use the seized Iranian assets to pay for USA farm products. The robber who robs the shop is returning with the loot to buy from the same looted shop to help the shop owner to recover some losses, thinking he is doing a 'benevolent' act. What a sick joke!

Having said that, Trump is showing more desperation by removing some tariffs on essential farmer's requirements to help the farmers, like fertilizer from Morocco. It seems that the tariffs have backfired badly on the USA.

Can you believe this, there are countries waiting to be attacked and taken over, but doing nothing about it?

 We know that there are countries that are in the process of being taken over, and pretending not to know, and not doing anything to prevent being taken over, as if they are willing to be taken over, or working with foreign countries to take them over. We also know that there are countries that are working with foreign powers to take over and their people are either ignorant or haplessly waiting for it to happen. We know that there are countries that have already been taken over with full support and cooperation of their political leaders but the daft citizens still did not know what is happening. The most crazy example is the USA. It is like a lie that is so big that no one think it is possible or is real. It cannot be. How can the world's number one super power be taken over by a Mickey Mouse country? 

Practically all the Arab and Muslim states in the Middle East know that they are being targeted to be taken over. This is not about conspiracy, not about lies or fake news. The Israelis said it everyday, showing proof and justifications that they are the historical owner, by their Jewish folk lore and legends and grandmother's tales, of the Middle East. They are claiming these grandmother's tales as authority from the God, and many white men, especially the American terrorists, are supporting such fictions as good enough authority.

And the Israelis are not just dreaming and hoping for it to happen. They have full military plans to take over the Arab and Muslim lands, and are executing it right before the eyes of the Arab and Muslim states, with the full backing of the American terrorists. The Israelis are gaining grounds everyday, with more massacres and genocides, and the momentum has been expedited in recent months. They have fully taken over Palestine with only a few pockets of West Bank pretending to be still in Palestinian hands. Now the expansionist drive is into Lebanon and Syria, 

The massive attack against Iran could be over if Iran is not able to fight back, unable to resist the combined attacks of the American and Israeli terrorists. At the moment it seems that Iran is holding its position well and may not fall. Caveat, if the American and Israeli terrorists did not go nuclear.

The Israelis are so confident of their expansionist plan that they are telling the Turks that they are next in the line of fire. And what did the Turks do? Nothing, just waiting to be attacked, like all the Arab and Muslim states. The plan to attack 7 Arab and Muslim states were fully executed as planned.

So far only Iran is brave enough to fight back. The rest of the Arab and Muslim states appear to be shivering in their pants, hoping and praying that if they keep quiet, don't open their mouths, they might not be attacked and taken over next. Keeping quiet and praying to Allah is about the best thing they can do. Oops, crawling to Washington and crying to the Americans is still their best hope, that they still trust the Americans to save them from being taken over by the Israelis. In reality, being taken over by the American Empire.

Is this real? Nation states are so hapless when faced with aggression and threats of being taken over? And they are buying more and more weapons and spending more and more on their military and soldiers. For what? Next to Iran, Turkiye is supposedly the biggest military power in the Middle East, many times bigger than tiny Israel, but behaving as meek as the Palestinians in Gaza.
