Rogue Americans tried to stop China in everything. China just moved on and on...unstoppable

China did not have to do anything and only had to do what it wants and deemed necessary to do.

China did not have to respond to the USA when building its high-speed railway system. Sanctioned from approaching the International Space Station, China did not have to respond to the USA when building its Tiangong Space Station. China did not have to respond to the USA before going into EV manufacturing. It did not have to respond to the USA trying to demonize its domination in shipbuilding, wind turbines and solar panels.

China is not India, being told to ask the USA for permission to buy Russian oil or else. China can do what it deems essential for its National Security matters. More than that, China does not need to succumb to threats regarding its purchase of Russia oil and gas. China is now saying, USA sanctions should be ignored as far as China is concern. That message is now officially sent to oil refiners, and others sooner or later. That shows the confidence that China now has, knowing that de-coupling from the USA is on course and progressing well. China does not have to depend largely on the USA market for its products. The trade surplus that China accumulated year after year, despite exporting less to the USA, is the proof that China can move away from selling to the USA. That card can no longer be played by the USA against China and Trump can impose tariffs of 1,000% if he likes.

American clowns can shout, scream and threaten...China just sit quietly and watch, do nothing is good enough

More in connection with the above comment: Cut off by mistakenly pressing the wrong button, sorry - Anon 9.56

The question facing the USA is how successful this exercise will be when rare earth and tungsten, essential raw materials for weapons are all controlled by China. China is not going to allow companies buying its rare earth and tungsten to be used for making weapons that are primarily intended to be used against China. Only a fool will allow that to happen. The moment companies using rare earth and tungsten enters the weapons production sector, China will add them to the list of companies to be denied its rare earth and tungsten supplies. That means the end of their normal business model. The USA Government is not one that will not change its stance, not even with legally binding agreements with sovereign countries.

Of course, the USA can overcome this by building its own rare earth and tungsten refining facilities, but the timeline is not years but decades. By that time, China will not be the same China as today. The USA clowns under Trump can overcome this by using Lego Bricks, lol.

So, try rattling China all they want, but China will be waiting for that to happen and cut off those private companies thinking of jumping on the weapon production wagon. The cost to them could be massive.

Sanctioned Marco Rubio in Beijing with Trump...caveat

 Many China watchers are quite disgusted that China allowed an anti China man that has been sanctioned by China to be allowed into China. Some are even more furious listening to the Ah Q explanation on why Marco Rubio was allowed into China with the Chinese character of Marco Rubio being changed to facilitate his entry as a different person.

The official version is that China sanctioned the person Marco Rubio but not the Secretary of State of USA. One is a person, the other is an official appointment, an office. Of course the difference is very subtle and subjective as Marco Rubio is still Marco Rubio no matter what is his designation, a senator or a Secretary of State.

Mike Pompeo was also the Secretary of State but is still under sanctioned after he left office. The man being sanctioned is Mike Pompeo. And the man Marco Rubio will be like Pompeo, will be sanctioned for life once he left office.

The changing of Rubio's name in Chinese is to let the Chinese tracking system to continue to track Marco Rubio but allowed a temporary reprieve for the Marco Rubio as the Secretary of State. Once Rubio leaves office, this little alteration will be removed from the tracking system, and his name stays in the sanctioned list...not allowed to enter China, unless he is removed from sanction.

China has made an exception administratively for political reason. It is a loophole but only temporary. But Rubio's sanctioned status did not mean he got a free pass. As Secretary of State, he is important enough to be seated in the main table with Xi and Trump. But he was left out of the protocol loop. He came early, on his own to the Great Hall of the People, but not one of the VVIP was there. He was left alone without knowing what was happening. He was lost, without anyone to talk to and did not know what was happening. A cold shoulder treatment.

Rubio arrived finding an empty table...where is everyone?

Xi and Trump and the rest of the VVIPs in the main table came in together. Very likely they were ushered into a special room for some private socialising and chit chat, to get to know each other better, ... without Rubio's presence. Rubio was not invited into the private room with Xi, Trump and all the top Chinese leaders. There is a price to pay for being a sanctioned man in China.

Rubio waited alone, looking very lonely and lost.

PS. Pete Hegseth was not given a seat in the main table with Xi and Trump.

America does not want to be the world's policeman....they want to be themselves, the terrorists of the world

US President Donald Trump posts a map graphic depicting Venezuela as America's 51st State. (Image: Truth Social/Donald Trump)

The American terrorists have usurped the role of international policeman since they became the undisputed superpower, unchallenged. And who are they protecting the world from...ihe American terrorists themselves. They controlled the narrative and the media and spread the lies that China, Russia and friends are threatening the world, wanting to invade and conquer the world, not today but tomorrow, just like the narrative that the end of the world is coming, not today but tomorrow. And many brain dead and unthinking choose to believe in these lies.

For decades, the American terrorists have been ruling the world, controlling and dictating to the world, beating up anyone or any country that dares to defy them, to want to walk an independent path.  They spread fears, create threats to justify their military presence, in the same way they create enemies to justify the huge military budget and military forces. No country is threatening or able to threaten the American Empire. It is the American terrorists that are threatening everyone. But the lies and narratives have sunk into the numbskulls of many silly countries that they now believe they needed the Americans as the policeman to protect them from imaginary threats manufactured by the Americans.

Recent events have offered more proof that the threats were all lies, fiction. The real warmongers, troublemakers, mass murderers were the American terrorists. Their lies that China, Russia, North Korea and friends are the threats have fallen flat. None of these countries are threatening anyone or at war with anyone. Only the American terrorists are at war all over the world.

Trump may not be smart, but he can see clearly that no want is believing in the American lies and narratives anymore. Not even the diehard believers and brain dead and the unthinking. The American terrorists are everywhere fighting wars and committing war crimes, genocides, The very dense would look foolish to claim otherwise.

Trump is now telling silly American allies that they are on their own, to spend on military budget to defend themselves, against their own imaginary enemies. The Asean countries can continue to believe in the American lies that China, Russia and North Korea are the biggest threats and can continue to live with these lies.

The American terrorists know that no one, other than the very dense, would still believe that they should be the policeman of the world, policeman for SE Asia. The Americans did not want to be the fictitious policeman anymore. So what do they want to be? 

The American terrorists know that they cannot lie to the world anymore. So Trump decides to be what they are, no more kidding, no more lies. The American terrorists want to be terrorists, international gangsters, pirates and world bullies. Like it or leave it, these are the true colours of the American terrorists. They are going to terrorise the world, behave like gangsters and pirates, take what they want, attack any country they want, stop freedom of navigation, blockade trade routes right in the face of their silly believers, shocking them into disbelief. Trump and his Washington rogues are telling the world how foolish are the leaders of their allies, believing in American lies, that the American terrorists are the good guys when they are the savages, the warmongers, the liars.

Today, any silly leaders in the American terrorists camp that stood up to sing praises of American goodness will make themselves look silly to the world and to their own people. The silence cannot be missed. They are smart enough not to say anything, to look away, and the smarter ones are quietly dissociating themselves from the American terrorists, the international gangsters and pirates starting wars and instability around the world.

American and Israeli terrorists spreading lies that UAE is attacking Iran. They think UAE are stupid

It has been reported that the UAE had secretly joined the USA and Israel in attacking Iran. This is asking for trouble that the UAE is least expected to do so, even as a close ally of the USA and Israel.

As they say, people in glass houses should not throw stones and nowhere is it more dangerous than for the UAE to do it. With all the infrastructures constructed to lure rich people to invest in Dubai, the UAE is cutting its nose to spite its face. Iran will not let this pass easily and Dubai's reputation will bite the dust. The damage is now unravelling.

Dubai is already toast, with the rich leaving over safety reasons, tourist arrivals at a standstill, yachts rusting at marinas and anchorages, high-end cars abandoned, low hotel occupation rates unseen before, shopping malls empty and workers laid off en masse and also leaving as well. You do not have to be a genius to understand why. Dubai is no longer safe, no longer an investor paradise, no longer a tourist must visit destination. Dubai is all an artificial hype-up facade losing its attraction fast. That is all going down into history making a beeline into the history books.
