Epstein files - American felons pointing fingers at Prince Andrew to cover their own tracks

I am simply highly amused that USA lawmakers are now trying to pressure Prince Andrew to address his Epstein ties. Are USA lawmakers now making all the laws for the UK as well? I am not saying that Prince Andrew is totally blameless, and I am not a fan of the British Royalty either. That is another bunch of clowns performing in a circus. People like Andrew are sick sex predators and rapists, clear and simple. They deserved no pardon.

Now, why are the USA lawmakers not pressuring people at home like Trump, Clinton and Gates to address their ties to Epstein as well. This is what they should be doing morally, instead of focusing on the person on the other side of the ocean. Why the reluctance to force the release of the Epstein Files while making a distracting move towards the UK? I suspect some of those lawmaker's names are also inside those files.

Will those Epstein files will only be released after all the predators and rapists have passed on? That seems to be the motive.

China cannot trust any American cronies

The Irony is that any country that aligns with or is a crony of the USA, has to endure the arm twisting of the USA and therefore cannot be trusted. Canada under Justin Trudeau has proven itself over the Meng Wenzhou issue. Netherlands, the home of ASML, has proven its loyalty to the USA over the ASML and Nexperia moves. Others like Italy, UK, Germany, Japan, South Korea, Philippines and other EU members are under the control of the USA and have to fall in line under the USA's dictate and threats.

Canada is trying to wean itself off USA influence, but China, in trying to foster close economic relations with Canada, has to tread carefully, as it is still a member of the Anglo-Saxon White clique. Just like Mexico, crumbling under Trump's pressure, Canada's position is more like shifting sand in the desert, depending on which direction the wind blows.

China will not sell out the interests of BRICS partners to please Trump

Did China sell out the Russians despite all the pressure over energy? That has not happened yet and possibly never. The economies of Russia and China are now intertwined and highly dependent on each other. Having said that, China is unlikely or not going to sell out Brazil and Argentina just to please Trump whom China viewed as untrustworthy. Despite what is tentatively a consensus to agree, nothing is concrete yet, just grandstanding by the USA about China buying more soya beans. After all Brazil is a BRICS country, and buying soya beans is helping BRICS in its de-dollarization agenda.

China is watching what the USA does further down the road. Any escalation over Taiwan, drug issue or rare earth insufficiency will give China the excuse to tear up whatever agreement is made. For all we know, China may be setting another trap for the USA farmers to continue growing soya beans, not stop, before again pulling the plug after four years. The beauty of China is that it is the manufacturing hub of the world, as well as the pre-dominant market that everyone aspire to benefit from. China has the capacity to exert a push or a pull to suit the occasion.

Washington dimwits don't make mistakes...only China makes mistakes?

Scott Bessent is now telling China that its curb of rare earth is a 'big mistake'. The USA itself has been making all kinds of big mistakes over the past decade. That so-called rare earth 'big mistake' is crippling the USA's Military Industrial Complex and giving China breathing space, knowing that the USA needs more weapons that depends on rare earth elements, in order to start a war with China. Let me elaborate further on other big mistakes made by the USA.

The USA started a proxy war against Russia, and in the unintended consequence was pushing Russia into the orbit of China. It was a huge geopolitical mistake. What the USA did not foresee, despite all the touted geopolitical advisors in the White House, was that Russia and China are now complementing each other in ways never envisaged and supporting each other to the chagrin of the USA and the Europeans. Russia's cheap discounted energy is helping China to be even more competitive, while Chinese companies are investing in Russia, taking over the logistics left behind by Western companies. Now the USA and the Europeans are trying very hard to pry them apart. It is not going to happen. The USA and the Europeans now have to deal with two nuclear powers, not to mention North Korea as well. Which is why starting a war with China is not a sure win bet for the USA and the Europeans, although they are nevertheless keen to try their luck to try to save the empire. What do we call that? Not a big mistake I suppose.

The second big mistake was underestimating the resolve of China over the last three or more decades, when China was busy mopping up rare earth resources, essential metals, essential minerals, setting up refining logistics, building bridges with countries for resources and building infrastructures for them in exchange, launching the BRI and most of all the formation of BRICS, all done under the nose of the West. Just a couple of years ago the USA was nonchalant when talking about BRICS, brushing it aside as a threat and claiming that it is just an irritant against the mighty US$. After all, what can chefs, laundrymen and peasants hope to achieve, or so they thought. Now, it is too little too late to try to curb the rise of BRICS. Sure, de-dollarization will take time, maybe decades, but the writing is on the wall and Trump is desperately attempting to counter BRICS with all kinds of threats. Is this not another big mistake as well?

The third big mistake was starting the trade war. We are used to the saying and should heed the saying that people in glass houses should not throw stones. Trump ignited the trade war, China retaliated and USA farmers are suffering the consequences or collateral damage. Now, Trump is begging China to help USA farmers. China did not start the trade war that led to the farmer's plight. Trump himself started that. Was that trade war against China by Trump not another big mistake?

Finally, the tariff war is turning into another big mistake made by the USA. China's trade with the USA is going downhill fast, so any threat of tariff increases is not going to rattle Xi. Trump can now raise tariffs to 1,000%, which China will just look upon as academic. That 10% drop in tariffs by Trump after his meeting with Xi in Seoul means nothing and Xi is not even interested in hearing about it. Less Chinese goods for the USA means less tariff collection for Trump, maybe good for USA consumers as they are the ones paying it. But on the flipside, USA consumers still have to contend with more money chasing fewer goods, which still means leading to higher inflation. That in my thinking, is another big mistake down the road.

When your enemy is shooting itself in the foot, do not tell them it is going to be painful. Just watch, leverage your bets and benefit from the opportunity.

China builds the most robust, reliable, efficient supply chains for the world, until the Americans messed it up

  For the last few decades since China joined the WTO and opened up to the world and embraced capitalism and industrialisation, China has built the most robust, reliable, efficient and cost effective supply chains in the world. In the process, China has never defaulted or broke its contractual agreements to undermine the trust the world placed on China's supply chain. Every country, companies and manufacturers were happily dependent on the Chinese supply chains to their just in time operations. No one has any issue with the Chinese supply chains. Even India, with its animosity and anti China sentiments, and the unsettled border issues, are working happily with the Chinese supply chains for their raw material, parts and components for their factories.

The unscrupulous and sneaky West, forever demonising China in everything, also did not have any problems with the Chinese supply chains until Trump launched his trade wars with China. This resulted in many American sanctions, blacklisting, export controls etc etc that threatened and at times disrupted the Chinese supply chains. In their fabricated lies of protecting the supplies of parts and components from China, that China may cut off the supply chains, just like the big lies that China is going to invade American, not now but one day in the future, the treacherous Americans started to sabotage the Chinese supply chains. The latest fiasco, coercing Netherlands to seize Chinese company Nexperia HQ and hoping to grab the Chinese supply chain for automobile chips, it resulted in the supply chain being severed completely with China stopping export of the chips until the disgraceful robbery attempt is fairly settled.

This is perhaps the first time that a Chinese supply chain has been interrupted, NOT by China, but by the sneaky and unethical Dutch and Americans. Now they have to pay the price for their dastardly low down behaviours. The unfortunate victims, the European automobile manufacturers, that were operating smoothly with the Chinese supply chain, are now in serious trouble, with slowdowns, delays, production stoppages, layoffs and some even facing closing down of their businesses. Thanks to the mischievous and terrorist behaviours of the Americans and the cowardly and arrogant Dutch. Thousands of innocent Europeans are going to lose their jobs. 

Without the American troublemakers and their equally unscrupulous cronies, the world would have no problem with the Chinese supply chains. For decades, the Chinese supply chains have built up a high level of trust and dependence without failing their customers. The American terrorists are repeating their often used playbook, thief calling thief, and brought about a supply chain crisis of their own doing.

Chinese supply chains are the most trustworthy, efficient and reliable partners in manufacturing, just in time production process in the world. No amount of fabricated lies by the American terrorists and cronies can discredit the Chinese supply chains. The troublemakers and fools had their days, but the users of Chinese supply chains would return to China to continue working with Chinese supply chains that are good, efficient and affordable, with no fear of disruption and being held hostage by China.

Chinese supply chains thrive on being reliable, dependable and trustworthy. Breaking the trust would be detrimental to the Chinese supply chain business. Chinese supply chains would continue to honour its contractual commitments to its customers for as long as it takes.

No one dares to blame China for the disruption of rare earths supply chains. They know, everyone know that it was the American terrorists that brought about this crisis. It was the Americans that brought about the chips crisis by not letting American chip manufacturers to sell to China, not allowing ASML to sell EUV machines to China, grabbing Chinese companies and crippling the European automobile industries, even crippling their own soya beans, agriculture produces, meat and poultry industries by starting this silly trade wars.

China is all about trust. China builds trust. Without trust, no one would be depending on Chinese supply chains. The Americans destroy trust, abuse trust, cheat and bully others that trusted America but no more. America is the most untrusted country in the world today.
