Biden pushed Russia to China. Trump pushes the whole world against the USA

 China panicked and yet imposed tariffs of 34% on the USA, so said delusional man-child Trump. He is now believing in his own lies. Children are children with different way of thinking.

If China really panicked, Xi would have flown to Washington now to beg for mercy. Did Xi do that to show that he is panicking? No, Xi is not panicking and is going to Moscow instead to meet with Putin. That shows which is more important for China - Russia or USA.

Trump has wiped out a big chunk of the fortunes of the big tech companies with his tariff fallout, which is still not the end of the story unfolding. Musk's association with Trump and his rhetoric is leading to his massive losses of his Tesla investment. Associate with a six-time bankrupt can only result in having the bankruptcy stigma being transferred to Tesla. Trump really has the Midas Touch in reverse as well, just to quote John Mearsheimer, commenting on Joe Biden earlier on his massive mistake of pushing Russia towards China.

The USA can continue to spin that those tariffs are going to collapse China. As if twenty years of spouting the collapse of China mantra is not tired and weary enough. The West does not know how the Chinese economy really works and is making assumptions based on the USA and Western mindset. What works negatively in the USA and the West does not necessarily mean that it will also work against China economically. For example, there is a world of difference between Chinese worker's working attitude and Western workers. In the West, workers fight for more pay and yet want shorter working hours. This has been revealed by Taiwanese workers seconded to TSMC factories in Arizona, where they found this out to their disbelief. Too many years of having free loading on the fruits of others labor in exchange for toilet papers has raised one or two generation of lazy bums that cannot do an honest day's work. They probably prefer to live on the streets with free housing, food from soup kitchens and no utility bills to pay and making use of free street lighting, LOL.

Trump can continue to raise the ante to confront China, while China and the rest of the world are finding new avenues to trade among themselves, maybe just forgetting the USA completely in time to come. Since the USA is moving towards closing its market to others, it works perfectly fine for China, which has been discreetly de-coupling from the USA. Notice too that the USA does not talk much about de-coupling from China lately. Sounds rather abnormal to say the least.

Oh, not to forget that protests are taking shape against Trump, who is asking those protestors to toughen themselves for the pain. Ya, bear with the pain, while Trump cuts taxes for the super-rich. Sounds rather illogical.

Trump wants to buy TikTok using gangster tactics

President Trump is putting his wheeler-dealer skills to the test, as he seeks to line up potential buyers with a deadline he set for the sale approaches.

In an extraordinary flex of executive authority, Trump is finalizing plans for investor groups that include Blackrock and Oracle, Bloomberg News reported, bringing them in for a planned White House meeting on Wednesday.

Such a group could save the company from a legal deadline to shutdown barring a sale – after Trump extended the statutory date....

Trump said in the Oval Office Monday he had the ability to extend the deadline again, as he seeks to finalize an ownership group.

'I can extend if I want,' Trump said. 'But we have a lot of enthusiasm for Tiktok, for buying it. I think Tiktok is good. I used it – I was a great Tiktok guy,' Trump said.  MSN

Trump thinks being a gangster, acting like a gangster and behaving like a gangster, he can do anything he wants, take anything he wants, including TikTok, Gaza and Greenland.  Trump forgot that TikTok has a master that is as big as the USA, not a puny state like Denmark. He better ask Xi whether Xi would be willing to let him have TikTok. 

China does not need the money, TikTok does not need the American market. TikTok is used worldwide and America is only a fraction of its market. TikTok can afford to give up the American market. But can Trump afford to offend the more than 160m American TikTok users? His voter base would be affected and undermined if he dares to offend 160m voters. The lie about national security cannot hold water in the case of TikTok. Calling wolf over and over again is losing its effect. No one is believing in this silly American security ruse to take over TikTok or even Greenland and Canada.

Trump's art of the deal or art of the steal is being put to test in this TikTok acquisition and also in the acquisition of Lik Ka Shing's ports. Xi would not be bullied or pushed around by this gangster Trump. TikTok and Li Ka Shing's ports are national assets of China and cannot be bought at any price. They are not for sale. China also has national interests to look after. Xi is not afraid of gangsters and rogues.

Drag queen JD Vance lying about China controlling Panama Canal

 The Americans have again been spreading lies about China controlling the ports of Panama. They have fabricated so many lies about China all over the Panama Canal and in control of the Canal. Drag queen JD Vance, the man that cannot appear in public without his mascara and false eyelashes, is in Panama spreading his lies about China and the Panama Canal. This is further from the truth. China does not own any port in the Panama Canal. The two major ports own by Li Ka Shing's CK Hutchinson, a public listed company in Hong Kong, are Balboa and Cristobal. And Li Ka Shing is a Canadian citizen, not a Chinese citizen.

Also there are many ports on both sides of the Panama Canal, at least 20 of them, and Balboa and Cristobal are just two of the ports. Actually both so called ports are really container terminals. Yes, the Panama Ports on both sides of the Canal have many ports. CK Hutchinson are operators of two terminals, not the Ports of Panama. They have no control of the Panama Canal, they do not determine which ship can get into the Canal. This is a big lie. Full power and authority of the Panama Canal are in the hands of the Panama govt, the administrator of the whole Canal. CK Hutchinson is just a commercial logistic company, with no administrative authority over the Canal, with no military forces under its control. How can a private commercial company be in control of a Panama Canal belonging to a nation state? This is the mischievous lie the Americans are spreading to justify its takeover and control of the Panama Canal. To control the 82 km canal needs a significant army to do so. Only a nation state can have such a resource and sovereignty over the Canal.

CK Hutchinson is one among many operators of terminals along both ends of the Panama Canal. They have no authority, capacity or ability to control the operation of the canal or who can or cannot traverse the canal. The lies the Americans are spreading are vicious. China has no operation or administrative control over CK Hutchinson. The fact that the sale was almost completed without China's knowledge and approval said it all.

The Americans are hyping up a big lie to blame China as a threat, when China has nothing to do with the Panama Canal, to justify its invasion of the Canal and to take control of it by force, just like wanting to take over Greenland. This is typical American lawlessness under the vicious so called Rules Based Order. And when the American troops are all over the Canal, they would have full control of the Canal to limit its freedom of navigation, to dictate who can or cannot use the Canal. The evil American terrorists are plotting to seize the Panama Canal to control international shipping, to control freedom of navigation.

The world must not be conned by the evil American terrorists. They are the most imminent and present threat to peace of the world. The Panama Canal must not be taken over by the American terrorists. As usual, lame UN is not saying anything, afraid to offend the Americans, unable to exercise its power to oppose the hideous American agenda to want to take control of the Panama Canal. Not that it has any power or ability to do so, but at least it should speak out on the ground of international law or moral obligation and authority, and UN's constitutional power to object this blatant forceful takeover of the sovereignty of an independent nation state. It is a violation of international law.

Putin and Xi ignoring Trump and pushing him into the Cuckoo's nest

 Trump was fantasizing about Xi needing to meet him in Washington 'very soon' to pay obeyance to the enforcer. He probably thinks his tariff war is going to scare Xi out of his wits, thereby forcing Xi to rush to Washington to beg for mercy. Instead, Xi is going to Moscow to meet Putin for an important meeting of two adults on the next step to take.

Now Trump is realizing that his miscalculation is backfiring with Xi retaliating against his tariffs. Trump has been pushed into a corner now. What is he going to do? Nero was fiddling while Rome was burning, so said some, when Trump rushed to play golf while the stock market was crashing.

Furthermore, Putin is ignoring Trump regarding the peace deal in Ukraine. Putin and Xi are going to make Trump lose his mind soon. The man is already mentally unsound and further pressure might push him into the cuckoo's nest.

TikTok is Chinese property, NOT for sale. Bullying would not work

 Trump is backtracking over his plan to force TikTok to sell to a non-Chinese buyer. He is giving another 75-day grace, which is a joke just to mitigate his failure to resort to the use of bullying.

Byte-dance, the owner of Tik Tok is very clear over the issue. The future of Tik Tok rests in the hands of the Chinese Government, not Trump despite all his gloating as if he owns Tik Tok. And China is definitely going to block the sale with or without the tariff war going on. Byte-dance just have to follow China's policies and will just likely exit the USA completely with the ban.

Tik Tok has a user base of 1.6 billion worldwide, with 175 million in the USA. Loosing 11% of its user base in the USA is not going to collapse Tik Tok. Moreover, some USA users of Tik Tok will go over permanently to other Chinese apps like Rednote, which is facing banning as well.

China is really serious about de-coupling completely from the USA, being sick and tired of all the provocations, nefarious fabrications and lies thrown against China over the past decade. China is hedging its future on BRICS and the Global South, new growth areas for trade and investments. China is now even banning Chinese investments in the USA, which is a further nail in the coffin of the USA hegemony. This is a good move by China in the face of the asset seizure by the USA and EU from Russia. China is even selling off its treasury holdings and USA debts, knowing the dangers of holding on to them knowing their toxic nature.
