American business is about maxing profits, China is about selling to the masses with marginal profits

 How much greater has Trump made the USA during his Presidency from 2016 to 2020? Did the trade war result in USA's re-industrialization and the ability to decouple completely from China? In fact, the USA had imported more from China after Trump's trade war effort and was greater than ever before. Was the USA able to produce most of the items itself or source uncompetitively from elsewhere like the EU? The only stuff they are able to produce are toilet papers to export its inflation overseas.

When decoupling becomes unworkable, they invented 'de-risking'. How to de-risk when China is still in control of essential raw materials needed for USA's military, plane makers, semiconductor manufacturing, pharmaceutical industry and consumer products?

China had just issued new control over Antimony, a flame retardant, needed for the USA military, citing 'dual use' security issues, the new narrative invented by the USA which China is following suit, tit for tat. China is not playing all its cards at once and China has all the cards hidden close to its chest that it can use to retaliate. The control of Gallium and Geranium exports by China stunted the semiconductor manufacturing building frenzy in Arizona and is killing the Chips Alliance. Wonder how the extraction by the USA and the West to strip such rare metals from discarded laptops and other electronic devices is progressing and how competitive will that be to counter China.

Many plans to open up rare earth mines elsewhere have failed. The USA thought that extracting rare earths from Mongolia in a joint venture will counter China's control of Gallium and Geranium. But China killed it straight away by disallowing the use of its Tianjin Port for use by Mongolia to ship the ores to Japan for refining. Setting up refining facilities in Mongolia is costly and takes years and expertise that Mongolia lacks. Moreover, China can still kill such competing ventures by cutting prices that will bankrupt the investors. Are they willing to undertake such risks?

What was the fear actually over China's overcapacity citing the fate of others around the world? China's control over refining capacities in every sector will put investors trying to set up competitive logistics in grave doubt over investment feasibility. That is what the USA is trying to put a stop to. The USA cares little about the fate of other countries trying to compete with China. Most countries are not competing with China as China is already providing them with products so cheaply that they do not find it sensible to produce themselves. The economies of scale and comparative advantage of production does not accrue to small countries. Why should they be bothered with China's overcapacity?

It is the same imaginary fear mongering over threats to small countries so that they need the USA to place military bases for such countries' protection. The Africans no longer buy into the snake oil.

Truths and facts about evil white men in America.

It happened in the 1870s in the state of Texas. A US army officer descended on a native American village with some armed guards. The officer talked to the village chief. He told the village chief that the natives could no longer be allowed to live in the place where they had been living for ages. The US government has decided to close down the village and remove the natives somewhere else called Indian Reservations. The officer told the chief that the US government who owned the land that the natives were occupying had decided to move out the natives to the reservations. 

The village Chief told the officer, "The US government is not our government. How did the US government come to own their village land? Did they buy the land from the natives?" If not how can they chase us or evict us from our land. "The officer said, "It is not like that. It is because the government wants to put all natives in a safer place in native reservations. The village Chief, "No, we are quite safe and happy to stay where we are, where we have been living for ages.?" 

The native Indian villagers had no choice. After a lapse of some time the natives with other villages natives totalling about three thousand of them were forced march westward hundreds of miles to desolate lands where they were herded in like cattles in make shift slave camps. This forced march westward to desolate desert lands without any food or water or support from US Anglo-Saxon government caused the deaths of hundreds of natives lives who fell dead by the wayside due to sickness, hunger and starvation. 

In any case whenever Indian reservations premises were subsequently found to possess substantial oil or other precious minerals therein the natives would be evicted again and the richly endowed areas would be taken over by white invaders, the Anglo-Saxons. Soon the Anglo-Saxon elites and the American Jews would take over the place and enrich themselves with the mining of oils and other mineral in the region. 

This demonic process would be repeated again and again to the detriment and decimation of the native Americans. This barbaric actions of the Anglo-Saxon invaders and together with the official killings and genocide of the natives the Anglo-Saxon US government has reduced native population of over one hundred million to a miserable number of not more than a hundred thousand today. These same tragic scenarios were to be repeated over the decades all over all the states in the United States even up to this present time. 

Besides illegal and illicit forced eviction the savage, brutal and barbaric torture of natives was a regular occurrence undertaken by US government and the white supremacist Anglo-Saxon occupiers. Whatever evil and diabolical gruesome deeds the white invaders especially the Anglo-Saxons did to the natives in America is similarly repeated in white conquered lands in South America, Africa, Asia, Central America and the Caribbean Islands. 

The evil white men propensity for all kinds of evil deeds has no limits. The Anglo-Saxon Americans are now leading the white packs of evil white countries in a renew vigour to bring the global earth under their hegemony. The next article will reveal and expose their evil plots against the countries of the South.

US missiles in the Philippines...China will do the same in South America and the Caribbean for reciprocity

 Asean's Zelensky has said American mid range missiles that can reach China pose no threat to China. The clown is just parroting what the Americans want him to say, and the American missiles will stay in the Philippines. With the missiles in the Philippines, this clown is ratcheting up tension in the South China Sea. Do not rule out the American cowboys and this Asean cowboy firing one of the missiles to a Chinese island or to mainland China and calling it a mistake. China beware! Savages and clowns know no limit to decency and peace.

China, and even Russia will say the same thing to the Americans when they place mid range missiles in Latin America and the Caribbean. Both can play the same game and sing the same song. There are many states in Latin America that are willing to house Russian and Chinese missiles when asked. They needed them for their own security. Now that the Americans say it is no security threat from mid range missiles, then it is alright for such missiles to be stationed in the Latin American and Caribbean states.

Russia and China now have to do so or else the American missiles in the Philippines will take roots. This is a repeat of placing missiles in Turkey to threaten Russian mainland in the 60s until forced to withdraw when the Soviet Union did the same in Cuba. The Soviet Union were relatively weaker than the USA then. But today, the combination of Russia and Cuba would easily outweigh whatever the Americans have.

No, the Americans are peace loving countries and placing their offensive mid range missiles in the Philippines is for peace. Russia and China will do the same and say the same thing, that their mid range missiles in Latin America and the Caribbean are for peace, not against anyone.

Meanwhile any thinking Pinoy should take the chance while they still can to get out of the Philippines before it is turned into another Ukraine. Or maybe the Pinoys are in full admiration of the Ukrainian clowns and thinking that they want to be dead heroes like the Ukrainians with their economy and country in ruins.

China and Russia must have no delusion that the Americans would remove their mid range missiles from the Philippines if they did not do anything. They have to do the necessary or invite more missiles in the Philippines.

PS. The aggressive and foolhardy Pinoys have increased provoking China by sending their coast guards and sircraft to several Chinese islands. China realised that being meek is not a solution and is taking firmer actions against the Pinoy intruders. China is sending more ships into the region. Very soon guns would be firing and ships would be sunk. The Americans are very active instigating the Pinoys to confront China and the Pinoys are very happy to play the role of the Ukrainians in a war with China.

The warmongering American terrorists are opening up another theatre of war in the South China Sea with the willing Pinoys thinking they could defeat China like the Ukrainians against Russia. The South China Sea is going to blow up!

US Election based on Hollywood make beliefs, feel good speeches without substance

 All that shrieking about how great the USA job market had been the last one or two years has now suddenly become, in honesty, a con job. How could the job market be that great with all those widespread retail outlet closures and lacklustre push towards re-industrialization. Now that reality has hit and now been clearly revealed. It was all a mirage.

But voters in the USA are not paying attention. All the attention has been focused on well-crafted speeches giving glorified performances boosting political egos. It is all a Hollywood make believe that will be swallowed line, hook and sinker by the walking dead.

The same Hollywood blockbuster remake that will still appeal to the masses. The Fed is at the end of its tethers and no more rope is available for keeping interest rates unchanged which will crash the economy. There has therefore been a need to have a rate cut to save the job market. Whether it will work is still to be seen, but more like an exercise in futility. Working back towards cheap money to boost the economy and fund investments is not going to work if competitiveness is beyond its capability to overcome and address.

The USA is in a position it has never been before according to Dr. Richard Wolff. The problems are daunting with debts unsolvable, more so with de-dollarization eating into the US$ Hegemony. While it had been able to sell its debts in the past to foreign buyers, it is not so today. So, issuing more treasuries is not going to work as there are fewer buyers of USA debts. So, it is left to domestic buyers to shoulder the burden - hedge funds, pension funds and banks. Any default is going to topple the house of cards, with citizens losing their pants or even underwear.
