I wrote a post a couple weeks ago about how Vietnam, despite having never signed up to the BRI, is an exemplary member of it due to the BRI's real goal of integrating China deeply into the world's supply chain and how well integrated Vietnam's is to China's. I wonder if this could be an opportunity to do something similar to India. Integrate them into China's supply chain as well, let them earn some crumbs with low value added work and then sell them to America. If successful then it'd realize the goal of BRI, making it impossible for countries like India to cut off China without cutting off their own economic lifeline, and making it impossible for countries like the US to cut off China without also cutting off countries like India and Vietnam.

AI's view on US truckers and effect of Tariff on them.
There are approximately **3.5 million truck drivers** in the U.S., including both employee and self-employed drivers. Of these, **1.98 million** are employee truck drivers operating heavy and tractor-trailer vehicles.
As for the impact of **Trump's tariffs**, the trucking industry is already feeling the strain. The tariffs have led to a **sharp decline in imports**, triggering layoffs and reduced hours for truckers. Some trucking companies have even shut down altogether due to the **nosedive in freight traffic**, particularly imports from China. The National Retail Federation projects a **20% decline in imports overall** for the rest of the year, with Chinese goods potentially dropping by **up to 80%**. This means fewer shipments for truckers to transport, leading to **job insecurity and financial strain** across the industry.
The situation is still unfolding, but truckers are bracing for **long-term consequences** if the tariffs remain in place. Do you want to explore how this might affect consumer prices or supply chains further?

I don't see the joke here. It is literally true. The Vatican is just another Western state after all, and like all other Western states, it is politically infiltrated and under the US total control.
Excellent idea. He would be the first Pope to charge a tariffs on the tithes of Catholics. The motto is: 10% of yours 10% is mine.
He did diddle minors on Epstein’s Island so at least he is somewhat qualified…
Actually, should a US-Japan split occur, the biggest worry for China would be Japan seeking its own nuclear deterrence. That would put Beijing in a complicated spot of maybe having to choose whether to conduct a preventive war against Japan to coerce Japan from going nuclear (Israeli approach to Iran), or recognising Japan as a nuclear state with the hope of pushing US out of Asia. However, this would mean recognising Japan as another great power at China's doorstep. For China, whilst the US is the biggest geopolitical rival mainly from a material sense (and many Chinese actually respect the US due to its history, culture, political ideology, prosperity, etc.), a nuclear-armed Japan would be both a historical nemesis (ideology plus historical memories) and geopolitical rival. Or Beijing could try to work with Washington as part of a great power concert to try to preserve the status quo, but such approach would be difficult to pass the US Congress.
I think this is where North Korea would come in, as a bad cop, to threaten to nuke Japan if they moved towards developing nuclear weapons, whilst China would step in as the good cop to defuse the crisis and retain the nuclear status quo with some assurances for Japan and North Korea
