No way the USA is going to win the Chip War

 There is no way the USA is going to win the Chips war.

The backfiring is almost immediate, with Chipmakers in the 'Chip 4 Alliance' of USA, Japan, Taiwan and South Korea already losing market share and much money and achieving little. Two Companies, Huawei and SMIC, are already too hot to handle for the Alliance, and there are many others like them in China. Huawei is not an 'exceptional' company in China, just an ordinary company in China, according to some. Chinese technology companies are in an era of explosive innovation.

Biden can continue to push subsidies to those companies like TSMC and Samsung to continue their building programs in Arizona, but it does not solve their long-term problems. Suffice to say, it is even unsure whether such subsidies trotted out by Biden are in fact just benefiting USA chipmakers like Intel, Micron and AMD rather than TSMC and Samsung.

China still controls certain major semiconductor raw materials and refining facilities. Gallium is one element that China controls about 80 to 90% of its production. This alone is one big problem for the USA and its Chip Alliance to sort out. China has not yet banned completely its export of Gallium, but just enacted export controls over it.

As frequently pointed out, there is the Chinese market for Chips that is also going to play an important part for the Chips Alliance. Domestically, more and more Chinese products are using locally made chips. What does this hold for those foreign companies trying to sell in China?

With China putting all hands to the pump in trying to be self-reliant, what does the future hold for the Chips Alliance? Like the Europeans following the USA blindfolded against Russia, the Chips Alliance members will suffer the same sad fate. Do not mess with China is the best policy.

Americans fatal dependence on its war industry

 Will blowing out China's candle make the USA's candle shine brighter?

Will crippling China's over capacity in EVs and other renewal energy sectors be better for the rest of the world? How is more expensive EVs going to make life better for the rest of the Global South? Only a fool will fall for all that over capacity propaganda. Take away China's contribution in every sector and the world will suffer a catastrophe of sorts.

The world can survive without wars. The world does not need weapons if there is no war. The world will survive without weapons and war. That is the reality. But the USA depends on war. The USA thrives on its war economy, its Military Industrial Complex is contributing nothing but weapon sales for countries to fight each other. As some critics mentioned, the USA cannot even make simple things to benefit the world. Nuclear missiles by the thousands, high priced fighter jets for sale to the world, ammunitions for war machines it provides to countries - where does all this stand to benefit the common people?

China is doing its part to lift people out of poverty outside its borders today. In Africa, South America, Middle East and some Pacific Islands, China is building infrastructures needed for them to progress. The USA on the other hand is creating wars to destroy those infrastructures in all parts of the world, putting people into misery and poverty. This is all a ploy to inflict backwardness and disabled the people involved from standing up, making it easier for the USA to divide and control. The same mindset inherited from the evil Anglo-Saxon Imperialist Whites of old, particularly the evil Brits.

The real purpose of a foreign military base...for regime change

 Knowing that such USA military bases are just there to conduct regime change if needed is a thought too scary for leaders of those countries to behave too aggressively against the
Evil Empire. Duterte had been warned discreetly. Not only that, but it was a matter of survival for Duterte who admitted that he may not survive the CIA, the assassination arm of the USA Government.

And the Evil Empire knows they have those countries by the balls. That is why South Korea and Japan are so obedient. Even the Japanese ruling Taiwan are on the Japanese wagon of compliance.

Now the problem for some African countries, some Middle Eastern countries, some countries in South America, the Carribean Islands and Pacific Islands having to face is how to get rid of the Anglo-Saxon Imperialist clique still hanging on with their military bases still casting along shadow of threats against them.

China and Russia are helping in Africa, but it is a slow process of elimination as the Russians are doing in Niger.

Top American product is... LIES

 The USA is not into inventing anything of benefit to the world. Its best achievement today is inventing lies and more lies. The USA even have a lie fabrication factory it sets up, churning out lies to be regurgitated by the MSM and its pro-USA shrills. US$300 million a year is doing great. In fact, it could even be more in monetary terms, and that is not even counting what its allies like the UK are chipping in.

We know the lies about Vietnam. Allies, the UN and unsuspecting countries fell for the lies about WMD in Iraq to take out Saddam Hussein to control its oil. The 911 false flag was created to provide the justification and opportunity for the USA to invade Afghanistan, ironically to be a victim of 'The Graveyard of Empires'. We know for a fact that Russia's invasion was not unprovoked as propagandized by the West. The provocations had been going on for eight long years in the Donbass region. The invitation for Ukraine to join NATO, which will enable the USA, a NATO member in chief, to place boots and missiles on the ground to threaten Russia was even a longer threat that had been carefully watched by Putin and was the tipping point.

Even then, the USA is practically running out of lies, the same as running out of sanctions against Russia. If sanctioning trees, music, sports people and even cats and dogs are not scrapping the bottom of the barrel, what other sanctions can the USA and the West invent now?

Oh, they are trying a new approach of putting pressure on China to stop dealing with Russia in trade and coaxing China to put pressure on North Korea from helping Russia directly with weapons. And all this while starting the semiconductor war against China? China is not the Philippines, falling for the USA ploy of divide and rule. China's support for Russia and North Korea is solid as a rock, unlike the 'iron clad' support touted out by the USA in Ukraine, Israel and its commitment to the Philippines. It will all end in disappointment for these countries buying from a snake oil salesman.

Ukraine is on its last leg, fighting with its last man standing and facing big problems with military recruitment. Israel is now a pariah in the eyes of the world, an outcast, with protest against its actions in Gaza. Further action in Gaza by Israel is going to bring about the loss of what is left of the little influence the USA has in the Middle East, particularly in Jordan, to just nothing.

Richard Wolff's clear and concise discourse on the Phenomenon of China

 

 

A 30 minute of discourse by renowned political economic thinker, Professor Richard Wolff, on the social and economic growth in China that the West have desperately tried to ignore and dismissed, refusing to recognise the realities and their impact on a new world economy. This is an educational and eye opening lecture for those that have been lied to by the western leaders and media about the truth of China's economic phenomenon.

 

China's ambition and goal, were to be better, richer and more advanced than the USA. USA is the model to surpass, not to be defeated military or to be put down by force. It to compete with the Americans in all fields of enterprise without cold or hot war, unlike what the Americans are doing to bring down China by all evil and unethical means.
