It is catastrophic that the non-Whites are so divided...

The world better wake up fast, especially the non-White countries. The next global war will pitch the Anglo-Saxon Whites against the non-Whites. This is as clear as daylight looking at the behavior of the Anglo-Saxon Whites supporting the survival of the US hegemony. Do not be blindsided by the shifting economic make-belief of the Europeans going to China. All that is just smoke and mirrors, When the shit hits the fan, it is all hands to the deck by the Anglo-Saxon Whites and a signal for them to ensure the survival of the US$ hegemony.

It is catastrophic that the non-Whites are so divided, which gives the Anglo-Saxon Whites the advantage to divide and rule for centuries without consequences. BRICS must remain a bloc for the non-Whites, apart from Russia, to grow together to counter the Anglo-Saxon White's agenda, whether in de-dollarization, trade or having an alternative to get away from economic sanctions. Free trade can only survive without the fear of sanctions through the use of the US$ and SWIFT.

How is China's trade surplus of US$1.2 trillion interpreted as a wrong?

How is China's trade surplus of US$1.2 trillion interpreted as a wrong. Must China pull back and stop exporting to allow the USA, EU, Japan and South Korea to catch up and overtake it before it is interpreted as a right? Must China chalk up massive trade deficits before the USA and the West are satisfied? This seems to be the thinking.

Which clearly indicates that all these bodies like the UN, ICC, ICJ, IMF, WHO and WTO were all bodies set up by the Anglo-Saxon Whites as tools to ensure that the US hegemony is not threatened. It is just like supporting warships protecting an aircraft carrier to ensure it is not vulnerable.

Must the world be made to just cater to trade conditions dictated by the USA and the West? Must Global South countries be made to buy expensive goods shafted down their throats by the USA and the Europeans, instead of cheaper products from China in order to be considered right?

What is considered sustainable? Whether it is sustainable for China or not is not for the WTO to worry about. China is opening up more trade with Africa, now with zero tariffs for African nations, as the continent develops with aid from China. This is going to grow the pie and China's trade surplus will even be higher. How is this interpreted as unsustainable. It is unsustainable when the USA and its allies cannot compete. But it is a win-win situation for Africa and China and is making the USA and its allies red-eyed and extremely jealous. They will create all kinds of reasons to make sure China must be stopped by hook or by crook, not by reason and reality.

Hillbillies can only think of choking China by holding back tools for making mouse traps

US lawmakers chairing key House committees on Tuesday (Feb 10) urged the State and Commerce Departments to restrict China's access to advanced chipmaking equipment, warning that gaps in export controls threaten national security....

"We urge the Administration to press allies to implement countrywide controls on key chokepoint semiconductor manufacturing equipment and subcomponents: that is, all equipment and subcomponents that China cannot produce indigenously," the letter to US Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick said.

The signatories also include House Foreign Affairs Ranking Member Gregory Meeks and several members of the South and Central Asia Subcommittee who called for restrictions on servicing existing equipment already operating in Chinese chip facilities, arguing that such maintenance is essential for these tools to remain functional.  CNA

The hillbilly clowns in Washington are still in the dark ages, thinking that the world had stood still. What they are trying to do against China is like wanting to stop China's growth by cutting off selling ICE automobiles to China. With their small and empty minds, the smart Americans are in Wall Street making money, these dead woods can only think of bringing down China everyday and nothing else.  Oops, their only other interest is waiting to be invited to Epstein Island to have lunch.

Creating chokepoints by keeping machine tools to themselves! My goodness, did they know how far ahead China is now vis a vis cowboy country America. Got to forgive them as most of these hillbillies are D graders and did not study anything close to science and math. They opted for the easier less intense courses like liberal arts and law. Just use their mouths, not their heads. STEM subjects are frightening to these dead woods.

Trying to close the barn after the horse had bolted? China is now leading the Americans in practically every leading edge technologies, 66 out of 74, or at worst, level with the Americans. It is the Chinese that should be starting to think about using choke points to prevent the hillbillies from catching up. The hillbillies should not be worried about China challenging them to build ICE automobiles, or slow steam engine trains. And not to worry, China is not going to challenge them in the present chip technology that would soon be obsolete. China is finding new path and new technology to excel in.

The hillbillies have no clue about science and technology other than playing with their shotguns or handguns. We are now in the world of advanced chips, 1nm and 2nm, AIs, quantum technology, not machine tools, not making mouse traps.

WTO - China's US$1.2 trillion trade surplus is WRONG?

MUNICH: The head of the World Trade Organisation on Friday (Feb 13) urged China to change its growth model, arguing that its soaring trade surplus was ultimately unsustainable and risked sparking new trade barriers.

Beijing says it wants to support the multilateral trading system, "because it has benefited quite a bit from it", WTO chief Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala told the Munich Security Conference.

However, "the export-led growth model that drove China's growth for the past 40 years cannot drive China's growth for the next 40," said Okonjo-Iweala.

"And the US$1.2 trillion trade surplus is not sustainable. Because the rest of the world cannot absorb it," she added.

"And if China does not act, we will see more barriers."  CNA

China's trade surplus is wrong, unacceptable, unsustainable? Who said so? WTO. Who is WTO or who is behind this accusation? Why is this unacceptable? What is your problem, WTO? What amount is acceptable? I am not even asking about sustainable. That is a completely different issue. 

China is trading with the whole world under WTO rules. China did not point a gun at anyone to buy Chinese goods. China's trade with the world is on a willing buyer and willing seller basis. Why is this a problem? Because the Americans and the Europeans are unhappy? They have been chalking billions and trillions of trade surpluses over the centuries, nobody said it is unacceptable or that it is a problem. China cannot make trade surpluses fairly?

As for sustainability, the buyers of Chinese goods will buy whatever they need and whatever they can afford. They will not buy just because China is having a trade surplus. When China is producing goods that are needed, in demand, at very fair and affordable prices, these are not crimes. The trade surpluses will adjust accordingly in a free trade system, in a free capitalist economic system of demand and supply. Buying Chinese goods and services is value for money. Why pay an arm or leg of AI when you can get it for practically free?

Countries that think they are being cheated for buying Chinese products can go and buy American or European products. No one is stopping them from doing so. Or they can follow the Americans, imposed high tariffs on Chinese products, to make Chinese products more expensive for their people, don't buy, don't use Chinese products. It is as simple as that.

When China is still making profits from the world, the US$1.2 trillion is an aggregate, not from exploiting any particular country, by selling very good quality products at very low prices, at very low profit margin, China is as good as doing charity, doing public service, by offering the best products to the world at prices they can afford, improving the quality of life of the people of the world. What is the alternative, don't make and don't sell, or sell at American and European prices with exorbitant profits, like a $50,000 Birkin Bag instead of paying $3,000?

Are the people from developing countries complaining? Or are they very grateful that China is offering good products within their limited budget, to enjoy some of the finest things in life eg, mobile phones, clothings, that they would otherwise missed? Why pay for a $100k car when one can get a Chinese car of same quality or better for $10k? China can sell its good and affordable products to whoever that wants them, no need to sell to those that do not want them. Period. The majority of the people of world are benefiting and very grateful for China's goods and services. All manufacturers should compete with China to make better products and sell at competitive prices, not fleecing their consumers and users. 

Trump is right. Useless organisations like the UN, WTO, WHO etc that are doing silly things should all be closed down. They are led by mischievous leaders with vested agenda or by unthinking leaders led by mischievous people to do their bidding.

Western narratives are based on White superiority, rule the world, right to kill coloured people

Throughout history, do the Whites have conscience regarding genocides, robbing resources and stealing land at will? Those behaviors are in their DNA, passed down from generation to generation. And no one had the capacity to change the status quo, when the Anglo-Saxon Whites continue to gang up together to protect the US$ hegemony and continue with their dirty business.

When the Soviet Union started posing a threat to the behavior of the USA, it was all hands to the deck by the Anglo-Saxon Whites to destroy the Soviet Union with propaganda and demonization. The USA was then at the peak of its economic power and with the White satellites helping it, taking down the Soviet Union was a piece of cake.

Then came the Germans being too progressive and innovative, which made the USA nervous and that ends the German threat. The rise of the Japanese was the next threat facing the USA and all measures were put in place to make sure the Japanese remain docile and obedient, also helped by the Anglo-Saxon Whites to formulate economic policies that was to stifle the Japanese economic miracle in order to help the USA compete. Imagine making the Yen expensive so that Japan cannot export more to compete with the USA and the Europeans. It was to kill the Japanese dream with one fatal stroke.

China's rise was no exception and was also being targeted by the USA and the Anglo-Saxon Whites to prevent its influence from rising. But China was different and China played long games with unlimited patience. China had learnt lessons from the Soviets, German and Japanese, and quietly make sure it is prepared to be capable of withstanding any threat to its vulnerability especially in energy and food most of all. China also understands the need to upgrade its military just in case and not ended up like the Japanese.

All that preparation that China has made did not go to waste and has now repaid its thinking far ahead and has borne fruit and able to keep the USA at bay. The icing on the cake must be the Russians being pushed by the West into the orbit of China, a real geopolitical tsunami that was to cripple the West.

The result of pushing Russia towards China is not the only foot shooting that the USA has done to itself. The trade war, the technology war and tariff war were instrumental in pushing China to make serious efforts to counter and improve China's overall resilience that it would otherwise still be highly vulnerable.
