Why is Putin in China? Relax man

 The standard narrative, Putin and China are consulting each other on what Trump said and how to deal with the American terrorists. This is a serious closed door meeting a four eyed meeting between the leaders of two superpowers.

Look at it from another angle, China and Russia are busy running their own countries and economies. No time for wars. And despite all the accusations and fabricated lies that China and Russia are having colossal domestic problems and struggling to deal with them, and evil America has no problems, winning wars and economy rock solid, everything is fine, Trump is so free to go attacking every country, messing around with the internal affairs of countries, telling countries what they can do and cannot do, and of course, having a great time killing Palestinians, Iranians, Latin Americans for fun.

The truth, Xi and Putin are very comfortable with the peace and economic progress in their countries. They are so free and relax that Putin just drop by for the weekend to have a chat with his good friend Xi and maybe play mahjong in Zhongnanhai, and have a good laugh at the circus that Trump brought to Beijing.

Putin and Xi are having a good time over tea and good food in the comfort of Beijing.  No sleepless night, no worries. What more can they ask for? Just let lunatic Trump to continue with his crazy and juvenile tantrums. Xi and Putin do not have to do anything when Trump is working so hard to destroy the evil American Empire.

China will not fight a losing war but Washington clowns will

 Do not expect Trump to admit a mistake. Trump only claims victory, success, winning and winning. That is Trump. Trump will fight any war and believe he is winning even if he is losing, just by shouting, we are winning, we are winning. This deranged mass murderer is very dangerous when let loose. No one is believing in this lunatic and what he said. We need to kill the Iranians because they are going to build nuclear bombs to kill Americans. Only the brain dead will believe in this silly and mischievous lie that is being repeated by the American terrorists, to kill and kill.

The Americans and the Israelis cannot win a war against Iran. The logistics and math are against them. No longer can American warplanes and warships fly and sail anywhere they want, not near to Iran. These are like clipping the wings and sails of the Americans. How to fight a war from a distance and win? How to support a war from 10,000 miles away? The Europeans have chickened out or kicked out from being Trump's ally, so no more support base in Europe. The Arabs and Muslims have turned against the Americans and Israelis for obvious reasons. No more Arab and Muslim base and Arabs and Muslims to fight and die for the Americans and Israelis.

And Iran is not alone. Iran has powerful allies as neighbours, with short logistic supply chains and strong military and weapons. America cannot win a war against Iran, China, Russia and allies. But Trump would not want to believe this is so. Trump in his delusion, believes he can win and will want to continue with this war. His generals know the truth. They cannot even win the war in Ukraine. Iran is a much bigger fish. Any military strategist will have told Trump to stop this war he cannot win. Xi will be backing Iran to the fullest, other than its strategic importance, Xi will fight because he knows he can win.

Now, another Mickey Mouse is appearing in the Middle East. Not Israel. Israel thinks it is not a Mickey Mouse because it has USA under its control and can win any war even against China and Russia. The new Mickey Mouse is UAE. There is nothing in this Mickey Mouse that can take on Iran. It is so vulnerable and can be wiped out very easily by Iran without Iran sending a single soldier into UAE. But Mickey Mouse are Mickey Mouse, little brain or no brain and think it can take on a much bigger enemy in Iran, like the Philippines wanting to take on China. Only Mickey Mouse would want to fight a war it cannot win. And there are plenty of them all over.

Mickey Mouse are Mickey Mouse. Not only they are small, they have even smaller brains or non existent brains.

Trump is killing Nvidia and AMD and stealing TSMC

 How Trump is trying to kill the American chip manufacturing companies is obvious to any observer of American political scene. Nvidia, AMD, Qualcomm, TSMC are all targeted to be killed or taken over by BlackRock and the likes, using the Indian playbook in India. Intel, Motorola are saved for obvious reasons.

When the biggest chip manufacturers are forbidden to sell their most expensive chips, their most profitable chips to their biggest customers, what did these say? The simplistic excuse, national security, cannot hold for long. The big chip manufacturers need to sell their products to generate revenue to feed their shareholders, investors and employees. Stopping them from selling their most expensive chips to their biggest customers is cutting off their revenue. If this did not end in losses, it will still end in loser profit or even having to downsize production. The growth of these companies is being strangled. They cannot find replacement for a big client like China, with deep pockets and high demands for their chips. Didn't clown Trump know that? Didn't clown Trump know that it will kill these companies?

After all the begging by Jensen Huang, Trump relented a little, can sell some high end chips to China, but he wants a cut, 15% of the sales revenue. Trump is as good as telling China, I am using Nvidia to rip China off, to pay more to fill Trump's pocket. Trump is betting on China being so desperate, and having to pay Trump obscenely for chips that should cost must less...using a Chinaman to fleece another Chinaman. Ya, when two fish are fighting, there is a white man standing around to profit from it.

Trump thinks the Chinese are stupid and will allow themselves to be robbed by him and unable to say no. Of course Trump has nothing to lose. Only Nvidia, and the likes of AMD and TSMC will stand to lose, China also will lose the opportunity to buy high end chips. Trump has everything to win, to benefit from all parties. If these companies eventually start to lose revenue, to make losses, their share value will fall, and Trump can send in his team to buy over for a song.

It is so elementary to make quick and easy profits from Chinaman, pitching one Chinaman against another Chinaman. So neat and so clever. So Trump and his clowns think so and waiting to get paid for nothing and at the same time destroying Nvidia, AMD and TSMC. White men's rule of law, white men write the rules for Chinaman and others to follow. NOT anymore!

Xi was just being diplomatic to host Trump

Xi was just being diplomatic, but realistically I believe he does not probably want to even host Trump's visit. But knowing that the man is dying to do so for years and making a fool of himself through constant self-invitation to make Xi unable to decline.

The visit was nothing more than a face-saving gesture accorded to Trump, nothing more. Nothing of significance had been achieved and analysts have said that the visit puts Xi in an even more prominent position of who is dictating the rules.

Trump has invited Xi to visit Washington in September. But there were no comments from the Chinese side. So, let us see.

Meanwhile Putin is visiting Xi these few days, probably sounding out Putin about what had been going on with the USA talks. On the card is putting certainty into a gas pipeline project for Russian gas into China. This is a sign of greater co-operation between Russia and China, giving Russia an even greater economic foundation in the years to come. What this means is that China will have alternatives to play with and be seeking less dependent on Qatar, Australia, USA among others for LNG that may be geopolitically inconvenient in times of conflict. China plans decades ahead, not building toilets when the urge to pee or poo is imminent.

From decoupling, Washington clowns now begging China to buy America, treasuries, soya beans, poultry, planes, chips and lies

Chinese Government subsidizing priority sectors had been demonized as unfair trade practices for decades. The USA Government itself subsidizing sectors for decades was never an issue. Hundreds of billions poured into subsidizing the building of chip manufacturing facilities by domestic and foreign companies was not unfair trade practices. The pot calling the kettle black has a new interpretation under USA's Rules based order. I think.

China is always the bad guy striving to make things cheaper for the rest of the world. Making cheaper things means the USA and the West can never compete against, so they keep demonizing China. Everything produced by Chinese manufacturers has been propagated as junk and inferior. If so, why are the rest of the world still buying them? China has never put a gun to the heads of those who refused to buy them, nor those who bought, so what is the hullabaloo all about?

In the past it was always about slave labor, so the rest of the world should not support buying goods from Chinese manufacturers paying slave wages. It was and is a human rights issue. If that was so, why was USA consumers buying iPhones made in China for decades without question about Apple then paying workers slave wages? Why was J. D. Vance caught buying eyeliners made in China with slave wages? Why was he supporting peasants making things cheaply that USA citizens could buy and then trying to raise the issue of China using those US$ earned by peasants to return to the USA by buying its treasuries. Now, China is not even in the mood to sell cheap things to the USA to earn US$ to buy USA treasuries. The USA is now begging China to buy its treasuries. Karma works in mysterious ways, and the mystery is not accrued to just God alone.
