When America leaves, China will fill the void...except in India

 The USA knew that pulling out of countries is a self-defeating act, with China ready to step in to fill the void. Which is why it is not working as in the past. India is caught in a different position, with Chinese investments avoiding India.


China is benefitting tremendously in Russia, taking over car plants, the mobile phone market and all ready-made logistics built by Western investors. It is a blessing in disguise for China in more ways than one. Cheap Russian energy is another godsend for China, fueling its manufacturing with even cheaper costs to compete on the global market.

What India does not allow, China's BYD is building a car factory in neighboring Pakistan. What the USA would not welcome, China is building EV factories in Mexico instead. The focus of such Chinese investments in Mexico is not the USA market, but the South American market like Brazil, Argentina and the rest of the global south.

Trump can raise tariffs to 1,000%, but if countries shun their exports to the USA, what effect is that going to make against those countries like Mexico?

America targeting and pulling out of India. China is not filling the void.

 The USA is conducting economic warfare against India now, giving India all the bad publicity which is causing investors to pull out investing in India. This is a terrible situation for India going forward. Which other big country is going to fill the void? Not China definitely!


The USA had conducted the same economic warfare against Hong Kong, Vietnam and I believe Bangladesh, all with huge Chinese investments, not to talk about Russia. However, the difference between India and the others is significant, but seldom talked about on MSM. China openly discourages Chinese investors to invest anymore in India but is not doing the same in Russia, Vietnam, Bangladesh or Mexico and Brazil.

USA investors pulled out of Vietnam, which already happened some time ago, but with Chinese investors moving in, the effect was not as bad as what the USA wanted. It is the same as in Russia, with Western companies moving out and Chinese investors filling the void. The harm was minimal. Likewise, Mexico is not succumbing to Trump's threat, knowing that China is waiting in the wings to move into the void that will be there when USA investors pull out.

India is in a different situation, with Western investors pulling out but without Chinese investors ready to fill the void. This is why antagonizing China is coming back to haunt the Indians in more ways than one.

Trump wants to seize Panama Canal. Would Singapore speak up on grounds of principle and its national interests?

 What will our 'Principled' one be preaching about Trump wanting to take over the Panama Canal, Greenland, Canada and even Mexico? Isn't that a big country bullying smaller countries for really no apparent rhyme or reason, other than committing robbery and terrorism? No objection, I guess. Several South American countries are already supporting Panama, including Mexico.


Taking over the Panama Canal is not going to be a walk in the park for Trump, even though he thinks it is like taking candy from a kid. Sure, the USA had invaded Panama in 1989 under George W. Bush, to depose Manuel Noreiga. Trump thinks this is going to work the same way theoretically, by installing a stooge who will let him run riot in the country.

Trump will be seizing a national asset in a sovereign country, and he has not heard of the word 'sabotage' being conducted by the locals. Who are running the operation of the Panama Canal are also the people who are capable of making the waterway un-navigable, rather than letting it fall into the hands of the USA? If even the USA Treasury can be hacked with all the top gatekeepers keeping a close watch, what is there to prevent a simple act of sabotage in the open air. The sinking of a ship in the middle of the canal is already a big problem to solve. The destruction of the gates inside the water raising and lowering mechanisms are also detrimental to the operation of the canal.

There are already protests ongoing outside the USA Embassy, burning and tramping on Trump posters on the ground. Two posters read 'Fxxk Trump' with the picture of a bear doing a doggie style on Trump face down on the ground. I really laugh at the ingenuity of the Panamanian protestors. Trump really believe the people of Panama will welcome him with open arms, in his mentally warped mind.

America ramping up production of dollars. Soon will face overcapacity problem.

 Good morning All


Who's actually check their so called honesty that they are printing so much monies ah?

Who dares to certify and check on their declaration?

They could say anything any amount and figures they want to be printed!

Any World's Treasury to confirm and certify?

Wah, daylights monies robberies or laundering ah?

Anyone dares to check shall meet his or her maker!

Yellen aka Yelling said extraordinarily measures meant hey start printing more!

The whole Daft World just kept mum?

This type of business who don't know how to operate ah?

American hillbillies in shock that cooks and laundrymen are smarter than them

 The USA assume that keeping everybody poor will give it absolute control over their destiny. China's rise makes this assumption invalid, and the USA is now desperate, paranoid and fearful of the consequences.


The USA now needs as many other Anglo-Saxon White countries to carry its burden of keeping its hegemony intact. It does not seem to be working. Destroying Europe was a no brainer. Antagonizing neighbors Canada and Mexico is self-defeating.

Starting a trade and technology war against China was and is waking up the sleeping giant and is going to shake the world as predicted by Napoleon Bonaparte.
