TikTok, like Huawei, will not go down without a fight...and will come out stronger

 If TikTok does not fall into the hands of the Anglo-Saxon Whites, who are coveting the widely popular social media platform that is competing too well with the likes of Youtube, Twitter and Facebook, the next step the USA would do is banning the app in the USA on the pretext of National Security issues, and at the same time coaxing the doggies to do the same with arm twisting threats and we have another Huawei in the making.

The whole wide world knows what will come out of the USA playbook and it never varies, since the days of Alstom and Toshiba. But China is a different kettle of fish and China will retaliate eventually where it will hurt most. You can bet on it. China is learning and is also using the widely open narrative of National Security issues that are difficult to prove.

China, among other retaliatory measures, meanwhile is quietly creating havoc with USA agriculture, with wheat farmers facing dwindling orders from China which had been for years their biggest market, while countries like Russia, together with some South American and Central Asian countries taking up more orders from the Chinese. China is a huge market for energy and commodities like food. China is also a major supplier of raw components for high tech manufacturing, as well as a major refining hub for raw materials, and surprisingly also a major supplier of pharmaceutical raw materials for medical products. This is one area that is just a surprise to me.

So, they are well advised not to mess with China, like footballers being told 'not to mess with Messi'. In the realm of politics, opponents are advised 'not to mess with Putin'. LOL.

China has plenty of aces up its sleeve but has chosen to use them sparingly. In fact it's only using cards like tens, Jacks and Queens.
The jewel in the crown is its holdings of USD cash, bonds and treasuries. Unleash them and the sickest country on earth will collapse and implode.

How did China rise to dominate in so many areas especially in providing essential commodities, like rare earth, lithium batteries and the raw materials needed to make them? Not only that, it also holds the refining edge in most of the essential raw material processing expertise, which it started to build up even before the West realized it too late. This supports the oft repeated narrative that Chinese leaders always think a decade or two ahead. They secure all the resources before embarking on their intended initiative like EVs. Likewise, retaliation against USA and European sanctions will be finely calibrated to inflect maximum damage and not taken on the spur of the moment and failing badly.

While the USA and the West were leveraging on their war mongering initiative and how to carry out regime changes, China focuses its mindset on conquering the economic benefits of looking after its future. What is happening now with the trade and chips war is exactly what China feared most over the decades. China knows the USA and the West will sabotage its rise, by erecting hurdles, sanctioning and preventing its foray into areas that the USA and the West dominates.

The next big sanction coming against China, after chips and TikTok, will be the supply of jet engines for China's own planes, the C919. The C919 is selling well in China, with domestic airlines providing a reported more than 800 planes on order. China totally did not place a single order for Boeing lately and the USA is retaliating with the engine sales ban on the horizon. But China is not waiting for it to happen and is already making efforts to manufacture its own jet engines. In fact, China already made their own domestic jet engines for the C919 and is waiting for its airworthiness certification. You can bet the USA and the West will erect hurdles to delay the certification. Meanwhile the C919 passenger jet is already serving the Chinese domestic market since mid 2023.

I also realize that Russia is also well versed in jet engine manufacturing, and should China want to have a more diverse supply of such engines, the Russians will benefit greatly, while the company manufacturing such engines in USA will suffer the long-term consequences. The jet engine sales ban will backfire for sure.

Malaysia requested China in cooperation to build up their Rare Earth Industry.

That's the Wise One who knows how to revenjuate their economy.

Why China is so diverse and smart in so many of their myriads Industries?

Because Chinese PRCs are NOT afraid to work and exploit even dirty and tough industries.

So they are ONE up on so many Countries.

Whereas the Capitalists West and their bananas and soft boned allies shunned all these so called dirty industries.

The Euro Nuts had enslaved the Africans to do their biddings of them into doing the dirty works for them and simply robbed them of their resources.

Now they are going to wake up and no exploitations on the Africans any longer.

PRCs and most Asians dared to dirty their hands in tough and dirty industries.

That's their rewards for their hard works.

Whereas Westernized Bananas like Sinking Land shunned all these tough but Real rewarding industries that could have gainful employments for thousands and instead opted for soft jobs like jig jig gila no security and long term going to be Paupers works m

But sometimes real pity and cannot blamed them.

For their Governments and Leaders are also soft bones and had no vision and ideas to built their economy.

So no choice do all these menial jobs.

The worse is that they are been played out wholesale by their Traitous Leaders to give all these and those supposedly to be first priority jobs to own but to foreigners.

Any no eyes see.

Retributions for been bananas
