Where is Goldman Sachs? ;)
Leaving China in case there is a war over Taiwan? What does this even mean? To leave all the gold, money, and other assets in China?

So much for the sentiment that PRC is going to be tough on Boeing after the latest weapon sales to Taiwan. It seems Boeing is using threat of re-marketing 737 max earmarked for China as good leverage.
China is not buying anything new from Boeing. They just want to put the Boeing 737 they bought previously back to service so they will not waste those.

EU being gutted like a pig.
Frankly, I doubt that moving highly polluting and energy-intense industries to the U.S. is a real win for the U.S. at this stage.

The strengthening of the USD puts all central banks in a corner and the PBOC arguably is in a lot better position than the central banks of other major countries due to a few factors. Since China has huge FX reserves, that gives the PBOC a fair number of options to sell and strengthen the renminbi if they deem it necessary. Also with low domestic inflation in China, a lowered yuan isn’t causing the same kind of social unrest over energy and food prices like what we’ve seen in the EU. Capital flight is an issue, but since nearly everyone else is doing poorly, overseas investment options are limited.

The high Federal reserve interest rates is arguably putting US exporters into a though spot as it becomes increasing difficult to have a strong currency and grow exports, especially when everyone else is losing purchasing power relative to the USD.
Furthermore, let's wait and see what will happen after Xi visits the Saudi Arabia in December. This visit may well shed some new light on the establishment of petroyuan.

What a joke:

Xinjiang exports to EU more than double despite forced labour concerns​

  • Direct shipments from controversial Chinese region in August surged 136 per cent year on year to US$137 million, customs data shows
  • High volume raises questions about effectiveness of planned EU ban on tainted goods following stinging UN human rights report

While Germany may have a -3.5% GDP growth and enter a recession next year, its investment in China set a new record since 2000, exceeding the previous record by about 15%.

So much for press freedom

Ah finally. The proof I was waiting for… but my god. This is hilarious.

Source of these documents was from Rep. Mike Waltz (R-Florida) who gave it to Fox News.



And some highlights.






AKA. How being woke will save you from an PLA air to air missiles.

I understand Wilsbach’s comments now. They needed a morale boost…

Political commissars don’t look so bad now do they. At least you don’t have to worry about political correctness when sending letters to your parents…

when you enjoyed Arabian oil to run the world and financial system that enable all the R&D.. than that cultural influence of creating hierarchies will become part of the system. some of the new people dont understand that it takes alot of effort to keep a reserve currency. and the work need to be repaid by squeezing every one else.
bringing the big plane with former President.

Who asked the US to make its dollar the global reserve? The irony is that before Bretton Woods, the great economist John Maynard Keynes proposed creating an international currency that was not dependent on any single country. He called it the Bancor -- and it was US opposition that killed the good idea. If maintaining the reserve currency is now costly, then the US voluntarily assumed the burden.

In fact, the US did -- and is still doing -- everything it could to destroy alternatives. In fact, making the US dollar the reserve was hugely beneficial to America for some decades. Now that they are thoroughly trapped in Triffin's Dilemma, some Americans are having second thoughts.

There is even greater irony in the hierarchy part. In 1945, when the memories of World War II's horrors were still fresh, the US led the world in creating the United Nations. Its collective security, the brilliant idea behind the organization, would have done much to flatten the hierarchies, making it unnecessary for any single country to be aggressive. A functioning UN would have greatly stabilized the world. However, now that memories of WW2 are fading, the US wants to be the top boss of a global hierarchy, forgetting that it was precisely these Mafia-like hierarchies that caused the two world wars. So the UN's creator wants to destroy the UN. Such an irony.

The 77 years of (mostly) peace since the United Nations Charter was signed in San Francisco suggests that the UN has been rather effective in its primary task, the prevention of another world war. The US's efforts to destroy -- or at least ignore -- the organization gives us even more evidence that the UN has been strongly hampering the Americans' imperial ambitions. So I believe I am justified in hoping that a new version of the UN will work, and that it will be good for the survival of mankind.

China stresses EU's strategic independence amid global turbulence

As the world has entered a turbulent period, China believes that the EU will stick to its strategic independence and work together with China to ensure the steady and long-term development of China-EU relations, Chinese State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi said on Wednesday, while meeting with Josep Borrell Fontelles, high representative of the EU for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) in New York.

China and EU should adhere to mutual benefit and resist decoupling and chain breaking. Multilateralism should be upheld while opposing camps confront against each other. The two sides should seek common ground while putting aside differences, and not reducing cooperation because of competition, Wang noted.

Wang also called the two sides to hold a new round of high-level strategic dialogue as early as possible and strive to launch high-level dialogues on economic, trade, green, digital and people-to-people exchanges this year.

China and the EU should also step up dialogue and cooperation in macro-economy, finance, supply chain, energy and climate change to jointly address global challenges, Wang said.

Wang noted that the situation in Ukraine shows a trend of expansion and long-term development, with negative spillover effects becoming more serious, which is something China does not want to see. The urgent task is to cease fire and end the fighting.

China will neither stand idly by nor add fuel to the fire, but will continue to play a role in its own way. Meanwhile, China supports the EU and major European countries in continuing their active mediation and making every effort to strive for peace.

As two major forces in a multi-polar world, China and the EU should shoulder their due responsibilities, adhere to the basic positioning of mutual strategic partnership, and maintain the sound momentum of dialogue and communication, Wang said.

Fontelles said that the EU attaches great importance to China's status and role as a major country, which is indispensable to address the global challenges and safeguard the postwar order.

The two sides also exchanged views on the human rights issue, believing that communication and dialogue should be maintained and the human rights issue should not be politicized.

I see the tactic of dragging into a back-forth, you have the stage now.
Perhaps we should take a step back on this back and forth and reassess our opinions on this particular issue since it has stirred up misunderstanding that's tethering over the edge. I emphatize with you on being guarded, and skeptical of the claims often make against Russia and China for very obvious reasons. But from what I can tell, and based on @xypher post history, he hasn't come off as a person who has had a reputation of posting propaganda. Unless, someone here can correct my perception I will stand by my comment regarding our fellow members reputation.

I very much value your immense contribution, deep political knowledge of China as well on it's technical, technological, not to mention military issues @taxiya so I hope you won't take offense for me to suggest that if possible, can we use your considerable talent to reconsider your position/stance on this topic. Let it simmer for a day or two, and if by then your views remain unchanged or your convictions get stronger validating your stance then by all means have at it. But for now, it wouldn't be too much to suggest we give @xypher the benefit of the doubt.

China-India normalization is really good news.

India's maneuvering room between Russia and the US has been significantly squeezed since the Russia-Ukraine war, it starts to make more sense to moving towards a more normalized India-China relationship. Keep in mind that India's tighter embrace with the US was due in large part to balancing the increasingly more powerful China, not to becoming a US vassal. A strained relationship with the US means India loses some of its supposed leverage against China. An ever calculating India will have to fine-tune its positioning between the other three powers.

I always give credit to India for pursuing strategic autonomy, unlike, say, Japan or major European countries. Although India is not powerful enough to be a truly independent actor like the US, China or Russia, it does value its strategic independence tremendously. It never really gets on board the anti-China QUAD bandwagon, for example.

A useless position given the hypocritical nature of anglo regimes.

China must support Scottish and Okinawan independence.

China won't stir Scottish secession from UK. China may support Okinawa/Ryukyu breaking from illegal Japanese occupation, and possibly, in the future, independence of various Pacific islands from US illegal occupation and colonization, but such support would only come after reunification.
