It has been reported that some Western businesses are weighing a return to Russia, after pulling out after the Ukraine War started, forced by the USA administration and its Western allies. There are political hurdles to overcome, and sorry to say, their seat in Russia have now been taken by Russian entrepreneurs and other foreign investors from China. Moving back and winning back market share is out of the question.
The Trump administration is now forcing big financial institutions to move out of China and not providing financial services to Chinese businesses. The USA has already forced the Asian Development Bank (ADB) to act against China by ending loans to China. China should end its membership of the ADB and concentrate resources in expanding the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB). ADB and AIIB are both doing the exact same thing, if I am not wrong.
This pulling out of USA's financially related entities from China will also end up just like what happened to businesses moving out of Russia earlier and trying to find a way back later on. China is still an expanding manufacturing hub in new growth sectors and a market that some cannot do without. Their seat will also be taken the moment they move out. Complete decoupling is going to be a done deal, and China is not prioritizing its dependence on USA anymore. The world is much bigger than the USA alone unlike the past, and the USA is not the only country that others have to trade with. The Chinese market will forever be gone for USA investors after financial decoupling takes place.
Having said that, the Chinese market is also gone forever for USA farmers and is not going to come back, even if relations go back to normal. China has already found alternative sources of agricultural products - from Brazil, Argentina, Russia and other BRICS countries coming on-line like Indonesia, now a BRICS member with Malaysia and Thailand admitted partners and potential members. China is not going to renege on its commitments to those BRICS countries, knowing the USA is not to be trusted.
While the USA is busy cutting off co-operation with allies, China is building more bridges to cushion the blows from the tariffs and sanctions. Who is going to survive and who is going to bite the dust is not difficult to see.

Modi/Biden IMEC has been relegated to the fiction corner of the library
But India is a participant in the India/Middle East/Europe Corridor proposed by Joe Biden, but which is still stuck in conception stage, due to the Middle East War. This is supposed to rival the BRI, with Joe Biden even thinking of building a railroad from the Pacific all the way across the Indian Ocean. How did dementia Joe came up with such a bright idea is unbelievable. Talk about building castles in the air. I think all that gloating is going to die and be buried together with Joe Biden's end of days.
Even if the Middle East War de-escalates, which is unlikely, Trump would have cut it off with his USA first doctrine. Anything good done by Biden, Trump will destroy it, and anything bad that happens with Trump's policies he will blame Biden. Why would the USA be involved in a project that does not benefit the USA nor Trump himself.
The USA leaders can only con people like Modi, who in turn can only con the religious fanatics in India. After all the song and dance, all seems quiet on the Indian front regarding the corridor to Europe. For all we know, India is not going to contribute a single penny, with USA, Saudi Arabia and others footing the bill, but will be the biggest beneficiary exporting to Europe. How big is India's trade with the EU? Just about 130 billion Euros with all of Europe, compared to China's 840 billion Euros. And not all is going to go through the India/Middle East/Europe Corridor, which may just be good for bragging rights for Modi.

Kashmir - 22 Apr is India's 7 Oct or America's 911
The Americans have their 911 to launch an invasion into Afghanistan, to launch a world wide war against Muslim terrorists and states. The Israelis have their 7 Oct to invade Gaza and conduct their genocide against the Palestinians, to wipe out the Palestinians to take over their land.
India is a fast learning and not missing the plot. India also can have its 911 or 7 Oct to invade Pakistan, and to take over the whole Kashmir. The terrorist attack in Kashmir now stinks to high heavens. It is not a typical terrorist attack. India is accusing Pakistan as the culprit and planning a war with Pakistan.
The swift actions of India, of the USA and Israel in building up a military force to attack Pakistan is all the proof needed to expose the evil intent of the Indians. Deployment of military hardware across national boundaries needs plenty of time and preparation. India refuses to listen to any explanation from Pakistan. India knows who is behind the 'terrorist attack'. The answer is so obvious. It is a false flag incident to start a war with Pakistan.
Modi has mobilised all Indian forces for war with Pakistan using this false flag incident of a 'terrorist attack' from an unknown terrorist group to blame Pakistan. India is the judge, jury and executioner. Modi has given order to his military commanders to do as they please, to attack Pakistan without any need to refer to him.
This is how aggressive this former criminal of crimes against humanity, massacring many Muslims in his state when he was the governor. He was wanted as a war criminal by the USA then. Modi wants to start this war with you know who are behind him, supplying India with all the weapons needed, that were already prepared in advance for this day.
This attack on Pakistan is unavoidable as it was planned way ahead, with the final confirmation by JD Vance visit to New Delhi to seal the deal.
India: The Incorrigible Saboteur Within BRICS
Recent developments at the BRICS foreign ministers’ meeting in Rio de Janeiro have laid bare a growing internal contradiction—India’s increasing alignment with U.S. trade interests at the expense of BRICS unity. According to Singapore’s Lianhe Zaobao, the failure to issue a joint communique condemning U.S. trade protectionism was solely due to India’s last-minute objection, centered around demands for “trade exemptions.” The move shocked many member states and exposed deep fissures within the bloc.
While Brazil, Iran, Egypt, and other BRICS nations supported the draft statement that denounced U.S. unilateralism and its breach of WTO principles, the Indian snake deliberately introduced dissent. This disruption prevented a united front against aggressive U.S. tariffs—tariffs that directly threaten emerging economies and the very foundation of multilateral trade.
Western media such as Reuters confirmed that the draft statement had clearly targeted U.S. economic bullying, emphasizing the right of affected countries to retaliate. India’s obstruction at this critical juncture does not appear accidental. In fact, it coincides with U.S. announcements suggesting India may soon reach a separate trade agreement with Washington, raising serious questions about New Delhi’s loyalty to BRICS principles.
India’s behavior reflects a deeper trend: while outwardly participating in BRICS forums, it increasingly positions itself as a geopolitical swing state—siding with the U.S. whenever it suits its interests, especially in the realm of manufacturing competition and dollar-based trade dominance.
This is not an isolated incident. From rejecting the BRICS common currency proposal to remaining silent on U.S. sanctions and using BRICS as a stage for self-promotion rather than solidarity, India has become a growing liability to the BRICS bloc. It seeks the benefits of membership while evading the responsibilities of collective resistance to Western economic coercion.
As BRICS expands to include nations like Iran, Egypt, and potentially more members from the Global South, the bloc must seriously reconsider whether internal saboteurs like India serve the long-term vision of a multipolar world. Without unity on key economic stances, BRICS risks becoming an ineffective forum dominated by opportunism and division.
It may be time to stop pretending all members share the same values. A house divided cannot stand—and BRICS must urgently act before the Indian rot within BRICS compromises its global role.

Stammering Scott Bessant is a liability to Trump. When he lies, it is all written all over his face
Scott Bessant, on behalf of the Trump, is like telling Xi, we slapped you, but in order to have a chance to negotiate, Xi should remove the USA slap mark on his face and go to kiss Trump's arse. The Chinese will never bow down to such arrogance.
That is really arrogance on top of delusional. Scott Bessant can continue to spout nonsense and refrain from appearing to want to cry in front of the cameras, stuttering and uttering un-intelligible answers to difficult questions. One example was a reporter asking about tariff negotiations now ongoing with 200 countries and daring him to name one country that had negotiated successfully with Trump. He evaded the question, saying that the USA does not reveal such information, while all the time revealing the lie about China negotiating. Isn't that revealing enough, but based on lies.
I think the whole Trump administration is a big joke. As I said before, things are falling apart, but never do I expect so early with just Trump's 100 days in office. Elon Musk scooted, unable to agree with other factions of Trump's cabinet and also suffering the curse of associating with Trump. Mike Waltz, the national security adviser to Trump, has just been removed, and Pete Hegseth is next one going under the bus over signalgate. Fast and furious is taking on a new meaning.
Some other gates are going to open soon, with Scott Bessant probably going to face tariffgate when retailers start to show empty shelves with consumers having to 'hang tough' not knowing for how long.
For all we know, Trump himself may have to face 'Russiagate' once more for his bending over to Putin over Ukraine and the exemption of Russia over his tariffs. Now, we are openly seeing the different messages sent out by Trump and J. D. Vance about the war in Ukraine. Trump is demanding that the Ukraine War should wrap up within two weeks, while Vance is saying that the war is not going to end soon. Do we see the picture?
