China is now seriously putting in place its plan to
decouple from the USA, and no advantage in trying to be co-operative.
Looking at what the USA is now doing - the raising of issues related to
trade with Russia, the accusation that China is supporting Russia
militarily, the warning of manufacturing overcapacity, the action being
taken against Chinese products like EVs and solar panels, the further
sanctioning of technology - all this makes decoupling a certainty. It is
only a question of when. If China takes the initiative and is
determined to be self-reliant, it will happen in no time.
The
news today reported that China's export and import trade has declined.
This is to be expected as China is shifting its economy to focus more on
domestic supply and demand. China is perceptively moving its domestic
chip demand from total dependence on foreign chipmakers. The latest
report mentioned that the Chinese Government is telling its
telecommunication sector to refrain from using foreign manufactured
chips. This comes two weeks after the Chinese Government told its
Government establishments to stop using foreign manufactured chips from
Intel and AMD. It is an indication of the confidence that the Chinese
Government now have to do away with total dependence on foreign
manufactured chips.
The USA Government is also making decoupling
more obvious by announcing the cutting of flights to and from China.
This may be more a matter of tailoring to demands rather than an act of
punishing China. Right now, Chinese tourists are avoiding travel to the
USA, and Chinese students are no longer flocking to USA Universities.
The negative effect on airlines flying the China/USA route would still
happen, regardless of whether the USA cuts flights or not.
Foreign
tourists will still be flocking to visit China, even if the USA were to
ban its own citizens from travelling to China to see for themselves and
discover the propaganda and lies about China that were fed to them by
the USA Government and MSM. As I said earlier, USA citizens travelling
to China are already doing the countering of the lies on behalf of China
and is one reason why the USA Government is reported to have been
floating loose talk about putting in place a ban on its citizens going
to China. Is the cutback in flights the first move in that direction?
Tourists
from other countries, like those from Africa, Middle East and even
India are also doing the countering on behalf of China. So, putting a
ban on USA tourist is counter-productive and will backfire badly. The
lies will come out eventually.

The narrative that China is a dangerous place to visit, and the amount of propaganda that have been generated about the dangers of visiting China, has more or less been put to rest by the number of videos put up on Youtube by foreign visitors, video-taping and narrating about their experiences in China and countering the lies - the safety in China streets even for women late at night, the welcoming and treatment of foreign visitors by locals, their amazement with the infrastructures in China, particularly the high speed railways, the airport, and train stations that are comparable in scale to airports in other countries.
Foreigners that have visited China or are living in China are asking their own countrymen to buy a plane ticket and go to China to see for themselves, instead of swallowing the fake news and lies generated by anti-China elements, who have never been to China but talking about China.
China is making another sensible move by having a visa free travel into China for certain country's foreign visitors. That is going to be a very smart move to sell the real China to the rest of the world.
Mr RB Maybank Mal and Sin can withdraw Yuan from their respective Banks but not DBS.
So can see the connections of Matland and China in private and Sinking Land still wanted to be their Financial Centre instead of HK.
DBS = Damn Bloody Slow. It can't move fast without foul-up. It is all an Indian trait.
Another aconym Damn Bloody Stupid
It is not China Malaysia relations though this matters.
What matters most is the so nice Americans that never influenced or coerced its so called friends to do its bidding.
I just spent a week in China, going to the village to search for my relatives. I was armed with a mobile phone, Alipay and Wechat apps, and some cash just in case. Actually Wechat was connected when I was there as I needed a friend using Wechat to link me up.
And after a short learning curve, I was booking and travelling by high speed trains, Didi and local taxis, going to every nook and corner of China like a local using Alipay. I arrived in Xiamen, took a train to Zhangpu, returned to Xiamen after visiting Quanzhou.
Everything went on smoothly, with a little asking if I needed help from the locals. Mind you, locals means Chinese citizens. Not foreigners masquerading as citizens.
I was able to locate the village my father came from, my relatives and even the little hut my father lived in.
In many parts of my visit, I travelled alone, walked everywhere that was new to me, including little lanes, alone. Never was I approached, harassed or hassled even once. Everyone was friendly enjoying their lives in China.
Ironically, most foreign tourists are interested in visiting Xinjiang. Of course, the Chinese are very strict in vetting foreign visitors out to create mischief in Xinjiang and are particularly strict in their scrutiny at train stations. But the Chinese do not follow those foreign tourists around as what the Western Governments and MSM are telling the world. Those are all lies without basis.
China knows the USA history of fermenting unrest in Xinjiang, using the radicalised Uyghur Muslims to terrorise the people. China had to stamp down on such acts of creating unrest and that puts an end to the USA's agenda in Xinjiang. It was a huge loss for the USA in terms of resources, financial support for and training of those terrorist, the same as in Hong Kong.
It is the same in Russia too, where their investments in Navalny turned to dust. That is why it elicited such an outcry from the West over his death. Elsewhere in Asia, Africa and South America, Navalny's death is a non-issue. Which country outside the Anglo-Saxon White's circle stands to benefit from his traitorous behavior in Russia?
The US is decoupling themselves by erecting sanctions, subsidies, import bans.
If cant compete, then block the foreign competition. So much for "freedom" "free trade" from the land of the "free".
All these will just accelerate the demise of 250 year old empire.
Good riddance.
In economics, each currency value must be determined by its commodities, services and goods
Russia exported its commodities such as fuels, LNG, wheat grains and plant fertilizers and etc
China exported its commondities such metals, minerals, rare earth and strong manufacturing goods and services.
Germany exported its services and goods in chemicals, pharmacy, combustion vehicles and etc
USA is nett importer, as such USA import more than its export, hence they offset the difference with their money printing US dollars. Without the support from the whole world economy, USA dollars will collapse. All the USD will turn to be HELL money. All these HELL money is as good as trash and rubbish. Now who will like to keep this worthless and unsupported USD?
