Volkswagen is at the end of the road

 Volkswagen is the first major western automobile country that entered China in the early days of modern China. The first foreign car to be accepted as the standard for govt officials was the Volkswagen. Volkswagen was everywhere in China for the last 70 years. As China prospers over the years, the official car for senior Chinese govt officials turns to the Audi, another brand under the Volkswagen umbrella.

For about 70 years, Volkswagen must have earned a big pile from its entry into the Chinese market. Unfortunately this good fortune is coming to an end. Not because China is applying unfair practices and outdated laws to accuse Volkswagen of violating Chinese laws and to impose punitive fines on the company. Volkswagen's fortune is eclipsed by new technology that it failed to compete against. China is turning to EVs and no Volkswagen's stable of EV cars are good enough to find a niche in the Chinese market. The lights in the factories of Volkswagen, China, are dimming.

Losing the most lucrative automobile market in China is a big blow to Volkswagen and Germany. What Volkswagen did not expect, was caught with its pants down, is the lost of another major market, the entire market in Russia through no faults of Volkswagen. Volkswagen was thrown under the bus when the EU clowns chose to seize Russian asset to the tune of 105 billion Euros. This led Putin to nationalise all European assets in Russia, including Volkswagen and anything owned by Germany. This move by Putin is like pulling out the roots of the grass, not giving it a chance to grow back again. 

Volkswagen is history in Russia, so is Germany and the rest of the EU countries that supported the seizure of Russian assets. The biggest winner, yes, again, is China. All the Volkswagen factories and assets and operations were sold to Chinese companies for a song.

The Washington clowns were stupid. The European clowns proved to be even worst. They did not learn anything from the Washington clowns. This alone proves that they are more idiotic, refusing to learn anything.

Xi's strategy of winning without going to war with the evil American Empire

 4 phases, military strength, killing the dollar and financial system, killing American and European goods, exporting factories, industrialisation of the world, new regional economic and industrial powers.

It is not easy for China or any country to win a war without going to war, especially against a warmongering USA that knows only one thing, conduct war, or use of military force to browbeat any country that it sees as an enemy. The American Empire is formidable, the most powerful empire ever, with military superiority, economic and financial control over the world and a will to use force whenever necessary with total disregard to international laws and good behaviour. The Americans behave like international gangsters, above the law, committing war crimes and crimes against humanity with impunity.

The biggest hurdle to China is how to take on the Americans without being defeated militarily. The Americans and the West have for centuries been oppressing and suppressing China, to keep China weak and poor and even demonising China as a despicable human race. When the Americans needed China to counter the Soviet Union, when they think they could exploit the cheap labour of China for greater profits and growth, China was roped in as an ally and even allowed to join the WTO, but not before imposing many harsh conditions to China's entry.

China seized on this opportunity to rejoin the American led world under American gangster Rules based order. From the very beginning, Deng Xiaoping was wise enough to adopt a benign and dismissing policy of bending down the head, just learn as much as possible, work hard and not to get into trouble, into the way of the Americans and the West. During this phase of China's development and participation in the world economy, China was a nobody, a sweat shop, selling cheap labour to the Americans and the West, not to be seen, not to be heard.

After being under the radar for 40 years, China revived its economy and raised the living standard of its people, built an industrial base to become the factory of the world...and also build a respectable military force to be able to defend its independence and sovereignty. But China is still under constant threat and bullying from the Americans and the West. The Americans have built a few hundred military bases around China with one purpose, to contain China militarily. The Americans have placed all their military power on the front yard of China and can easily invade China and defeat China.

China's military strategy was not to contest the Americans for world dominance, to build another empire. China's main objective is to prevent the Americans from invading China. This gives rise to the A2AD strategy, to deny access and entry to China's sea front. China just want to keep the American's out of the first and second island chains. China has built and developed the capacity just to do this, erecting the Pacific Great Wall of China to keep the American terrorists away and from conducting mischievous and dangerous military adventurism against China.

This is the first phase of China's strategy of becoming an economic super state without going to war with the Americans. The Americans know that they cannot win a war with China in the western Pacific Ocean. China's military strength is good enough to defend China but not enough to fight a war with the Americans anywhere else, let alone invading America. But this does not prevent the Americans from spreading the lie that China is going to invade America to instil fear in the daft Americans of the Yellow Peril.

China has achieved military parity with the Americans, even superiority, in the western Pacific Ocean. China has secured its own safety and independence from the American threat. China can now proceed on winning against the Americans in other fields without fearing a war with the Americans. What about Japan and American bases inside the first island chain? Not to worry. Japan and the American bases were once formidable threats to China but no longer so. They are now hostages held by China and can be destroyed in minutes. China can even use them as ransoms against the Americans. If the Americans are wise, they would start to withdraw them instead of putting them at high risk, like withdrawing the aircraft carriers from operating in the western Pacific Ocean.

The next three phases would be dedollarisation and creating an alternative banking and finance system to break away from American domination and control, and finally a new world of free and independent nations. All the infrastructures and systems are in place, to be free from the American dollar and the SWIFT financial system. Dollar will be marginalised, no longer the dominant currency for trade. Printing of the dollar by the Americans will be meaningless. The value of the dollar will depreciate quickly, purchasing power drops and not freely accepted by the world. The Americans would no longer be able to afford the 800 foreign bases and a large military force of terrorists, gangsters and pirates to bully the world like what they are doing now to Venezuela and other Latin American states.

The third phase would be to replace the Americans and the West in being not just the factory of the world. China is going to be the dominant manufacturer of all things the Americans and the West used to be producing and selling to the world. China will be making them cheaper and better, value for money for the rest of the world. This process will undercut the manufacturing and industrial might of the Americans and the West. There will be nothing much that the Americans and the Europe can sell to the rest of the world. They can trade among themselves, between Europe and USA.

The final phase will be to rebuild a new world order, starting with the BRI and BRICS, to help countries of the world in their economic development, infrastructures, modernisation and industrialisation, by exporting Chinese factories, expertise and technologies on a win win basis. China's mission is to prosper and free the rest of the world from American and western domination and control in trade and technology. The rest of the world can really be free to develop and modernise their countries and raise the standard of living of their people, defeat poverty that have been a big liability and drag on their people under 200 years of western rule, exploitation and oppression.

By then, the dollar will have lost its value, and the Americans would not be able to afford all the pirates and gangsters to threaten the whole world. The American and European economies would have faded to be just like the rest of the countries of the world, having to compete fairly and equally to earn their keeps, not by force or the exorbitant privilege of printing paper money to feed from the labour and hardwork of the people of the world. The new multi polar world would be truly free and more equal than under the fake and fictional American gangster Rules Based Order.

India is a manufacturing powerhouse, the factory of the world - in human production

In a sense, India is a manufacturing powerhouse, the factory of the world in the production of human beings. I am convinced that India is now the human manufacturing superpower with the world's biggest population and powering ahead. So, in a way, Modi was right about making India the factory of the world - in human production that is.

Now Japan is conceding it is losing its fourth position in GDP ranking to India due to the falling yen and tensions with China. Modi's head-dress just expanded upon hearing the good news. What difference does overtaking Japan in GDP ranking mean in reality? Indians are still miles away from benefiting in its per-capita GDP compared to Japan, with standard of living of ordinary Indians far from what the ordinary Japanese are enjoying. Other than for boasting purposes, nothing is going to change for India.

Japan is in a position of its own making, getting screwed by the USA and the Anglo-Saxon clique over economic stifling over the decades. The tension with China further escalates Japan's fragile economy, and China is just starting to turn the screws on Japan.

Tourism and the banning of Japanese seafood are just warnings of what is to come. These two responses by China are just the appetizers. No bullets needed to be fired. China's total banning of rare earth exports to Japan will collapse the Japanese industrial sector if a shove becomes to a push. Japan had better wake the fxxk up quickly. The USA is in no position to help Japan in rare earth, with themselves already sinking into quicksand.

China's new energy strategies bearing fruits

The USA is just playing 'wild cards' which have no realistic value in its desperate state. Yes, when the tide recedes, we are going to see who is in fact naked.

China has anticipated the problems arising decades ago and has taken steps to protect itself from USA blockades over energy flows China has prepared itself against energy shortages and building energy infrastructures unseen anywhere else in the world. Building of stockpiling infrastructures for oil are being built fast and furious, while oil exploration by the Chinese is entering untouched territory with Chinese oil explorers investing in deeper oil wells being sunk.

The biggest move by China must be its migration to renewables, that will lessen China's dependence on oil and coal. China dived headlong into solar and wind energy harvesting to complement its reliance on fossil fuel, which today is levelling off, while the USA and the West laughed and now discovered they had balls caught in seaweeds today.

China took the adoption of EVs by the horns, building more than 16.7 million charging points throughout the country, with the Government subsidizing the adoption of EV purchases and phasing out internal combustion vehicles. This is no half-hearted move and no chickening out in the face of all the sanctions by the West over the adoption of Chinese EVs. If the USA and Europeans refused to buy Chinese EVs, the Global South will gladly oblige adopting the cheaper Chinese EVs. The market will dictate whether Chinese EVs will grow and survive or stagnate. Sales in China alone will keep EV makers in China busy enough, with China the biggest growing vehicle market in the world.

Significantly, Singapore's transport operators are buying BYD buses by the thousands, which tells us who is laughing all the way to the bank. The mass transport sector is no more the playground of Mercedes, Volvo and Leyland anymore. If it works in Singapore, expect others to follow.

Now, we are starting to see the nakedness of the USA with the relentless AI and data center buildup, with insufficient energy generating logistics to cope with massive demands. Not having done the sums first before diving headlong into building AI and data center infrastructures all over the USA is coming back to haunt AI investors. Whether a big collapse is coming is left to be seen. But let us wait for the tide to go out to see the fun.

The sycophants and 'lawless' rogues in Washington claiming that China's military exercise is a 'deliberate provocation'. What about Venezuela blockade?

What are the sycophants and 'lawless' lawmakers in Washington claiming by trying to pull a fast one on China. The are now saying that China's military exercise is a 'deliberate provocation' against Taiwan. What about the USA, Japan and Taiwan holding military exercises all the time around China, Russia and North Korea's front yard? Are they not doing exactly the same thing trying to appear provocative deliberately?

And those mindless poodles in EU are jumping on the same bandwagon demonizing China's military exercise as 'increasing tensions in the region''. Do they have the same eyes to see what the USA is doing against Venezuela, attacking boats, blockading shipping? Did they come out to condemn the USA for creating tensions in South America? And what about the USA trying to create trouble by appointing an Envoy to Greenland, knowing that it belongs to Denmark. If those actions are not 'threats to world peace', I do not know what world they are living in?

Those morons are undoubtedly living in the twilight zone thinking that what they say holds true because they have the support of the MSM to provide an echo-chamber for their shouting. China, Russia and North Korea ought to hold more frequent military exercises around the region. It is their front yard, and they have every right to do so, unlike those living thousands of miles away and thinking they have a right to do so.
