I want to talk about China's strategy over the decades, a strategy that has at its core the 'continuity' of China's agenda, unlike the Western democracy that has no long-term ideal. In the Western democracy, leaders come and go with each change of Government, no loyalty, no long-term strategic goals, and all catering to self-gain and how to grow richer.
Chinese leaders rise from the ranks. They rise from the bottom, working together, planning and inputting their expertise even as new potential leaders are inducted. It is an ongoing process of renewal. Of course, some will not fit in and are eventually discarded. But the core idea is that China's policies are born not on the spur of the moment - waking up at 3 am from a dream and implemented the next day, but a calculated response to global threats and competition. Chinese leaders work together as a unit, finding solutions to problems like eradicating poverty, building a better living environment for the Chinese population, investing in sectors that they think will continue to bolster China's progress into the future.
Has that strategy worked? I think it has worked perfectly for China. I think it is a big, beautiful and successful strategy all along. There is no wastage of resources holding elections that ultimately brings little stability but plenty of confusing policies, some to get rid of those from the preceding regime. But little changes, as those taking over the power all come from the same swamp. What is the point of electing leaders that just represents the right or left hand of the Deep State? The whole democratic process has evolved into a very corrupt system of Government - the legislative, administrative and judicial all drinking from the same trough and coming from the same swamp.

Trump is gloating about all the tariff successes. One question he and Scott Bessent dare not answer - Who are paying those tariffs?
Alright, there are agreements with Japan and now the EU, but who is going to pay for the 15% tariffs on imports from Japan and the EU? Not the Japanese or EU manufacturers. They are not going to eat the tariffs. The importers inside the USA are paying those tariffs to be passed on to USA consumers. The Hillbillies are paying for it, not the importers eventually. The importers will have to close shop if they are to absorb those tariffs. So, the question is still - Who are paying those tariffs? Simple question, but a very difficult question for Trump and Scott Bessent to answer. It is just fortunate for them that the Hillbillies are so easy to be manipulated, just like the Native American Indians before them.
As for the touted US$500 billion investments coming from Japan, that is a non-event to gloat about Japan already invested close to US$2 trillion in the USA and if Japan invested more in manufacturing, who can they sell their products to? On the other side of the coin, the USA wants to sell more to the Japanese, by forcing the Japanese to accept a lower threshold of safety for example USA made cars. The Japanese Government may relent, but Japanese consumers are not going to buy them knowing that safety features cannot stand up to Japanese consumer standards. What sounds great does not translate into great if we look closer at the picture. Japan is a country that relies on exports, not imports.
