Trump and Netanyahu need more time to kill more Palestinians to take over Gaza

Trump and Netanyahu are just the two main characters in an opera - when one sings the low notes, the other will sing the high notes and vice versa. After the performance, they will talk to each other in plain language, the language of how to seize control of Gaza.

Their main objective is more time to kill more Palestinians to make it easier to take over Gaza. Taking over Gaza means having also to deal with the Palestinian issue - how to give them a place to return and what facilities to build when the whole country is now in rubbles. The displaced Palestinians are now living in temporary shelters and need permanent homes. Who will take them in if they cannot return to Gaza? Egypt? More likely a concentration camp in the Sinai Desert, to 'protect' them. Protect them from who is the question.

Giving the Palestinians the Bible, as they did in North America, in exchange for the land is not going to work, LOL. That means only genocide will solve the problem. There are still killings by the Israelis despite the truce being in place. We know Trump changes his mind day in and day out, depending on which side of the bed he woke up from. The next moment he will accuse Hamas of breaking the truce and it is back to square one and hugging Netanyahu once again.

Washington dimwits did not know chips and their important functions in new technology

The Nexperia issue exposed to us something very important about chips. High-end chips are important for particular sectors like the military, AI and top tier mobile phones. Medium range legacy chips are equally important to run other consumer products like EVs and home appliances, which covers a widely extensive market demand for them, the benefits of which had not been focused on by the USA and the West. China saw the opportunity, while the USA was and is still fixated on taking control of the top end chip market and denying China the path to reach it.

Nexperia produces just medium end legacy chips for a particular sector, the car manufacturing sector that the West ignored as unimportant for years or did not imagine its importance until now. The arrogance of the West looking down on China, thinking that chefs, laundrymen and peasants can never make or conquer the vehicle market is coming back to haunt them. China had been ramping up its facilities to produce such chips for its EVs and home appliances expansion over the years, the really hungry demand sector for chips. This was based on the older lithography machines bought from ASML and put to good use, not those EUV machines banned later. China saw the loophole and leveraged on it, while the world chipmakers were fighting tooth and nail to produce the most expensive 3 or 2 nanometer chips. Now, the shit has hit the fan over the Nexperia fiasco, and they realized that legacy chips are just as important for powering consumer products, like EVs and home appliances.

The USA and the West realized too late and was trying to use a short cut method to control the legacy chip sector, thinking that seizing Nexperia is a way to do it. In this game, China is ahead of the curve, already seeing the problem and keeping the productive capacity safely at home. The USA via the Dutch can take the nameplate and the mailbox of Nexperia, but the most valuable asset still belongs to China at home.

China will find ways to fix the high-end chips and coming up with different machines, materials and method for making them. It is just a matter of time. Now, even AI is not all about having the most expensive high-end chips, but how even lesser chips could be expertly put together to produce the same result. Moreover, what is even more important, as Jensen Huang himself admitted, is the ability to leverage AI on cheap energy, which China is able to afford, thanks to Russia.

China working towards complete decoupling from US and EU

China seriously wants to decouple, not just from the USA but also from the EU. I think the earlier the better. But the USA and EU are using the term 'de-risking', not de-coupling, as they know that decoupling hurts them more than China.

The EU's action against Chinese EVs have also ignited retaliatory moves by China. China is cutting off pork imports from the EU, citing dumping, which is hitting the farmers in Europe the same way as the soya bean farmers in USA. And who is making a beeline all the way to the Chinese pork market? The Russians are taking over a large portion of the Chinese pork import market, helping its economy and helping de-dollarization as well. What are being friends and members of BRICS for anyway? Enemies are not to be treated the same way as friends. To be an enemy of China is fatal, to be its friend is beneficial.

China is also targeting EU brandy, citing its move as against subsidies by Governments in Europe, mirroring the EUs move against Chinese EVs for the same reason. What is sauce for the goose is now sauce for the gander. The sword can cut both ways.

Terrorist Trump committing war crimes and criminals run ICC afraid to touch him

Duterte killing proven drug lords in Philippines was a crime against humanity and being prosecuted by the ICC now, when the Philippine is not even a member of the ICC. When is the ICC going to issue an arrest warrant for Trump, even if those Venezuelans and Colombians are also proven to be drug carriers and the USA is also not a member of the ICC? The ICC cannot have one law interpreted in two different ways.

Moreover, Trump is threatening to invade Venezuela and Colombia, which are acts of war. That needed the approval of USA's Congress, which Trump has not turned to over his obsession with starting wars. Trump is morphing into a lawless dictator. In any case do not expect the USA Congress to over-ride Trump, even if he is behaving like a terrorist. The warmongers in Congress are enriching themselves voting in favor the continuation of the conflict in Ukraine and Gaza, by sending more aid and weapons to Netanyahu and Zelenskyy. Much as I would like to add, the threat of invading Canada, Mexico, Greenland and Panama are also acts of war.

How could anyone even do anything, when the first respondents ought to be the UN and ICC.

Takaichi trips and fails in first meeting with China

 This hawkish woman would never change, caveat if the other person is Donald Trump. Her hostility against China would be her downfall if she thinks she can mess around with Xi and China. She is the first Japanese PM elect that China did not send a congratulatory message. She made a few gestures that she wanted good relations with China. But in her first meeting with Xi, she gaffed. She thinks Japan is still the Imperial power of WW2 and raised the issue of Xinjiang and South China Sea. Xi rebuffed her by telling her to reflect and understand China better.

Takaichi has no reason to talk about Xinjiang and South China Sea unless she wanted to provoke China. And that was what she did. She might not be given a second chance to meet up with Xi in the rest of her term as PM. Who or what is Japan, to talk about an American vicious lie about Xinjiang? It is none of her business, none of Japan's business. Japan wants to meddle in the South China Sea?

China should prepare a standard and equally provocative reply to troublemakers and Mickey Mouse that want to provoke and irritate China. In the case of Japan, just reply that China is concerned with Japan's status as a colony of the Americans, the independence of Ryukyu Islands, Japan's violation of Chinese sovereignty at the Diaoyu Islands, Japan's massacre records in WW2 and blood debt to China, etc.

When silly troublemakers insist on provoking China with silly issues, China need not be nice to them. Any silly country talking about China's domestic issues intends to provoke China or under instruction from the Americans. Just slap them straight in the face. This is the only way to stop the troublemakers. Better still, do not allow them into China, do not waste time meeting them. This approach must be standard to all the European, Asian and SE Asian Mickey Mouse. 

In the latest meeting with Trump, Trump was at his best, polite, friendly and courteous to Xi. This is what mutual respect is all about.

China's foreign policy must be firm and clear. No foreigner is allowed to raise silly issues like Xinjiang, Tibet, Taiwan, human rights etc etc. These are China's domestic matters, none of their business. Let the world knows that these are out of bounds and they will be whacked when crossed. China must not behave like Ah Q again and let Mickey Mouse shit all over its head and afraid to hit back.
