What else is there to scrape off the bottom of the barrel once China shakes off the threat by just exporting more cooking oil elsewhere. I want cheaper cooking oil here in Singapore too, so please do the necessary China.
As they say when elephants fight, the grass suffers. But Global South countries are not suffering, right? They are enjoying even cheaper stuff in trade with China. China is exporting deflation and who does not welcome that.
Countries should refrain from messing with China. China has taken decades earlier in anticipation of what is happening today. China has put in place things that are of National Security for its long term survival. China did not start trade wars in the face of its preparedness. But it is plain stupidity to start trade wars by being unprepared.

Trump is acting while sleepwalking. Notice that he could hardly kept his eyes open. He is very sick but is claimed to be in perfect health on paper.
ReplyDeleteTrump is high on drugs to keep up the appearance that he is well. It is very unusual for a 79/80 year old to have this kind of energy level. This came through during his meeting with the 800 military brasses when his energy level dropped and he could hardly keep himself awake. Likely he had not had his drug jab or pep pills that morning.
ReplyDeleteMaybe Trump wants to control the drug trade in Venezuela and Colombia too. Then he can have all the jabs and pills to keep him awake.
DeleteTrump's degrading health is so apparent it is exposed by his appearance.
DeleteNot just Trump. Look at Mitch MacConnell. I thought it must be a sick joke keeping such a guy as a Senator. Of course, for him, it is filling the pocket that still matters, even if he needs to be carried in on a stretcher.
ReplyDeleteYou won't get your cheap cooking oil from China I am sure, but maybe get your gmo soya bean from the US instead. Our G love to have expensive product from angmo countries, as it is so cheap to the miw. As for the non-white peasants, you die your problem. Just kpkb more and laulan wong will throw you non-white peasants some voucher to save the day.
ReplyDeleteChina, a communist state, wants to make things cheaper for its citizens. Democratic countries want to make things more expensive for the masses to benefit those at the top of the food chain. Which do we think is better?
