2025, BYD sold 2.66 million cars, Tesla sold 1.64 million

 How does SWIFT realistically know how widely used is the Yuan when the Yuan's usage is not captured by going through the SWIFT system? Not counted does not mean not existing. That is already an open indication of how propaganda works.

The whole idea behind the de-dollarization motive of BRICS was and is to not let SWIFT capture and control the trade deals done outside the US$. It is true that China is now demanding that Chinese exports to the USA be settled in gold, silver or Yuan, the USA can keep pretending that de-dollarization is just an irritant, that is until the shit hits the fan.

How realistic are USA and Western intelligence when China blindsided them in the EV sector as an example? These Western and Japanese carmakers have presence in China yet were basically sleepwalking while Chinese EV makers were eating their breakfast, lunch and dinner.

It is the arrogant mindset of the West that China cannot overtake them in any sector which is going to be the downfall of the West. Even Elon Musk, a decade earlier had laughed at the mention of Chinese EVs, brushing them aside as minor irritants at best. Today, Elon is not laughing anymore and is instead worrying about Tesla losing market share to BYD. Tesla sales had been propped up by subsidies inside the USA market, but after the split with Trump, those subsidies are now gone, together with the sales advantage.

And the irony of the arrogance mindset is extended to behavior of ASML, boasting that the Chinese will not be able to make a lithography machine even if ASML gives them the blueprints. How arrogant was that? I think ASML is regretting its arrogance already and eating its words with the progress that Huawei and SIMC are making in the chip-making hardware business. Remember that ASML still depends largely on Chinese rare earth elements and should not be boasting too arrogantly when its existence is at stake. Again, people in glass houses should not throw stones thinking they are immune. Their glass house will crash down when others retaliate.

PS. BYD cannot sell in US and Canada because of high tariffs.

Attack on Venezuela is Trump declaring war on Xi and Putin and the world

 The White apologists are calmly discussing about how clever Trump and his Delta Force are. No condemnation, just about the pros and cons of the invasion of a sovereign state, just another day. Remember the condemnations and sanctions by the the Whites when Putin sent his forces into Ukraine? And all the vicious attacks and vitriol against Xi and China for not invading any country?

They are spending their time enjoying the theatre, trying to explain the invasion, drugs, not drugs but oil or whatever else. The American terrorists can invade and take over any country by force or farce, it is just their normal, American gangster Rules Based Order.

This attack against Venezuela is a precursor to more attacks. Greenland, Canada, Mexico, Panama, Colombia, Brazil, Iran and African states are all in the American list. Trump is imposing the Monroe or Moron Doctrine on the Americas. The fall of Venezuela will lead to the fall of the Latin and Central American countries, if no one can stop this and reverse the fate of Venezuela. China and Russia have hundreds of billions of investments in Central and Latin America and must be protected or be seized by the American terrorists. Port Chancay and Panama Canal will fall into American control.

For China and Russia to fight asymmetric wars in other parts of the world is one thing, they cannot watch hopelessly when their assets and investments are taken by the Americans. Not only that they lose all these but also their credibility as the leaders of BRICS and the Global South, unable even to protect themselves, unable to protect their allies and friends. BRICS will risk becoming an irrelevant organisation. All its programmes, dedollarisation, alternative trading systems etc will go up in smokes. Which Global South country would believe in China and Russia and think they can depend on them for security and protection?

Trump has thrown the gauntlet into the ring. China and Russia have to pick it up or the whole world will fall under the American Empire. Trump will go on attacking one country after another, and many countries will just give up. The first shot for WW3 has been fired. The ball is now in the courts of China and Russia. They may not live to see the effect of their asymmetric war against the American Empire, the dedollarisation strategy will be killed prematurely and all the efforts will be wasted.

Both China and Russia have been put into a corner by Trump. Can Xi and Putin still be thinking they can talk and negotiate with Trump, the unprincipled and lawless gangster? Will Xi still think it is wise to invite Trump to China in April when Trump is shitting in his face and calling him out for a fight? Inviting a thug, a felon and a disgraceful son of a gun like Trump to Beijing is not only insulting Xi but the whole Chinese people. If Xi and Putin have any commonsense and self respect, and want to be seen as credible leaders of the Global South, they would have to break every deal with Trump and stand up to face this lunatic menace. There is no other way out other than surrender to Trump. Trump has nothing to worry for, he cannot think further than the next day and will not be worried about tomorrow. Trump fights only for today, all in, win or lose, like a Poker game. Trump is betting that no one would dare to stop him.

Leaders of the Global South are all staring at Xi and Putin for direction, to fight, flight or bow to Emperor Trump and be the sheep being led to the slaughter.

China is building Trust. America is building Distrust and saying Might is Right

 Trump and his circus of clowns have done what no other country can do to bring down the evil American Empire. The invasion of Venezuela is the last straw that condemns America as the international terrorists. This could be the only reason to offer the Nobel Peace Prize to Trump. For without the evil American Empire, there will be peace around the world. No more unending wars and instability, no more sowing discords, manufacturing lies and misinformation to incite wars, no more genocides. What happened in Venezuela is like winning a battle and losing the war. The whole world cannot accept this aggression by the Americans. Only the AngloSaxon tribes and Israel are supporting this aggressive and irresponsible behaviour.

The biggest contribution to world peace by the Washington clowns is to destroy trust in the evil American Empire by weaponising the dollar and financial banking system and everything, including toilet paper. The Americans have lost the trust of the whole world, including its allies and cronies. No one trust the American terrorists anymore, not their words, not their lies. No one would dare to leave their money and assets in American banks and institutions, not even in European banks. Switzerland's neutrality has also been compromised by the Americans by seizing the assets of Russia and anyone or country the Americans ordered. So were the credibility and trust of American crony countries and their banks. They can also be ordered by the Americans to seize assets and money from their clients.

On the other hand, China is watching and learning every silly crimes the Washington clowns are committing. These are valuable lessons that cannot be learnt from books. China is all out to build trust, a very critical item that cannot be compromised. China knows that once trust is lost, it will be gone forever. Every country or individual is quietly moving their assets and money out of America and Europe. The whites have been living in a fictional world of trust, reliability and goodness. When challenged, they revealed their ugliness of primitive medieval behaviours, of brutality and use of force. Nexperia is a good example. Now Venezuela.

The hallmark of China and the new multi polar world is all about trust, being reliable and dependable and predictable. China's policies are based on these principles, to build a better, independent and prosperous world based on mutual respect, equality, and win win projects and solutions. China will not interfere in the internal affairs of sovereign states, will not coerce any state to do its bidding, to force them to trade or not to trade with any country. China's proposition and trade relations with their business partners would be non political, no political strings attached, no conditions that would undermine the independence of nation states... no invasion, no use of force like pirates and gangsters.

The new multi polar world will be build on mutual trust, on peace, reliability and stability, not on wars and wars and wars under the evil American Empire. China has seen it all, all the evil policies and disgusting and primitive behaviours of the American terrorists and would not repeat them to end up like the American terrorists, losing the trust and respect of countries of the world. China will not weaponise Yuan, its product and services. 

The Washington clowns have taught China a valuable lesson on how to be a responsible and trusted superpower, not to sow distrust and behaving like gangsters and terrorists. The whole world has waken up to the rogue regime in America and has lost all faith in Americans and will be working to build a new world without the American terrorists. It may take time, the Americans could still be bashing and bombing countries to get their way. But for how long? 

The attack on the dollar and dedollarisation will gather speed to end the American dominance.

American multi trillion AI bubble sure to burst. No sign of revenue to justify the outrageous CAPEX

As in all matters, Trump is probably again using his infamous Art of the Deal', creating a tsunami over AI and data centers that was, and is, supposed to scare China out of the competition. There is a furious circle of investing by all the big USA technology giants into each other, now ongoing, to keep the scam going. That was always the first big overwhelming step trying to clear the deck.

Next step will be hyping up the AI scam that many are now saying, including Eli the Computer Guy. This is the second step of Trump's 'Art of the Deal' to make China shiver in its pants. Perhaps Trump has forgotten already that China holds the cards in cheap energy, rare earth supplies, has cornered all the essential raw materials around the world. Xi will be laughing and rubbing his hands in glee and urging Trump to 'dig baby dig' a bigger hole to swallow up all the money invested into a big black hole.

As the AI scam unravel, which is coming soon, lots of firefighting will ensue, but any admission of defeat is not going to happen. The spin will always be that the USA is coping very well with the rare earth and energy sector shortages, although those outside Washington would choose to differ. Not necessary to hold our breath regarding what the narrative will be but suffice to say it will be painted as rosy as always.

The final step, which is to come later, just before the big AI collapse, will be a declaration of a big win, another 'mission accomplished' moment. Sit tight and wait for it as it is sure to come.

USA tried many ways to bring down China but failed

The USA and the West had also formulated the same agenda towards China, trying to keep it poor. But China had long tasted Western bad medicine and for four decades was content to keep a low profile, act in humbleness, in order to build up its economy and accumulate its financial reserves.

Western hot money had been pouring into China over the last three decades, taking advantage of the easy money to be made in the Chinese market with its cheap wages and its property sector frenzy.

But Western hot money always comes with very real and dangerous consequences and with evil intentions and agendas attached. Once they start pulling out hot money to cripple economies after making a killing, thereby making the country vulnerable, they will step in later to buy up assets in distress paying pennies on the dollar, reaping yet another benefit from a crisis they created. In the aftermath of a financial crisis, the IMF will always step in as the guardian angel or the lender of last resort, setting debt traps and prescribing bitter medicine that did more harm than good. Many countries like South Korea, Thailand and Indonesia were at the receiving end of the IMF merciless crippling agenda and suffered much hardship during and after the Asian Financial Crisis, all generated by hot money pulling out to satisfy an evil agenda. This was like using opium to drug a country into compliance, which China had already experienced.

It was supposed to be implemented against China during the property crisis, but Chinese leaders had been preparing the country for decades and saw the tsunami approaching during the property crisis and took decisive steps to minimize the consequences. The Chinese Government did not have to resort to bailing out the property sector, unlike the USA, causing foreign investors to lose big, but instead pivoted all the help into the technology sector, including EVs. China had deep enough pockets to sustain such hot money pulling out, having more than US$3 trillion on its hands.

Instead of trying to collapse China with ulterior motives, the USA and the West had unwittingly awakened the dragon, that was to dominate the EV sector, shipbuilding sector, renewable energy generation sector and is now knocking at the doors of the semiconductor titans of USA, Japan and South Korea. The leaps and bounds progression of the Chinese chip sector are causing sleepless nights for chipmakers of USA, Japan and South Korea. There is now no clear winner of the AI war, a situation that the USA had thought it would win hands down.
