Seriously man they need to stop playing one dimensional checkers
You really have to marvel at European efficiency!

In one stroke, they have managed to deprive their citizens of Chinese solar panels and batteries as alternative power sources after they made oil and gas unaffordable to so many; and they will make cotton clothes much more expensive and scarce so their poors can’t even wear more clothes to try to keep warm when they cannot afford to heat their homes.

But look on the bright side, now that covid is loosing its effectiveness in culling the undesirables (old and those with underlying health issues-aka welfare recipients) from western societies, soon the cold will cull another big batch this winter and the western pensions and welfare black holes will get so much smaller come summer! Just think of the savings!

Biden regime will sanction some Chinese companies (Hikvision etc) to death right after removing some tariffs to show how tough it is on China

China’s response when America removes tariffs is to add the exact same value back on as an arsehole tax to those exports to America. The proceeds from this arsehole tax will be paid directly to the regions and companies sanctioned by the US.

Nah, they be more prudent in the name of such measure/tax.

Although at the end of the day, the west is like always gonna start crying and screaming at China for retaliating back at them, basically Greta with 'how dare you' lol.

It’s modern America man, subtly goes so far over their heads it might as well be in orbit. Even if you literally spell things out for them, a significant proportion of their population still won’t get it because they cannot spell.

such as illegal acts including deportation, cruelty, torture and deliberate failure to provide assistance that led to the death of refugees from West Asian countries, including Iraq and Afghanistan.

investigators documented criminal actions committed against 135 Iraqi citizens, who were physically injured as violence was used against them by Polish security forces."

The Investigative Committee of Belarus is also investigating three cases related to bodily harm and illegal expulsion from the EU to Belarus, which led to the death of Iraqi citizens.

It is noteworthy that in February 2023, the International Criminal Court in The Hague will look into the statement of Belarusian human rights activists on the genocide of migrants in Poland.

On January 25, Poland's border guards announced the start of construction of a 186-kilometer (115-mile) fence at the border with Belarus after thousands of migrants from West Asia streamed to the border in an attempt to cross into the European Union.

Let me try to understand the logic why sanctioning Russia's gold import and export will put Russia on her knees.
  • Russia is neck to neck with China as the two top gold producing countries in the world.
  • Russia import very little gold. Not even among the top 15.
  • Russia ranks #7 as gold exporter (4.4% of global export) in 2021.
  • Russia is right next door to China, the #7 ranked gold importer (11.1% of global import) in 2021. China can easily absorb all the gold Russia exports.
I give up. There is no logic at all.

This idea is probably originated from the same group of western financial/economic wizards who came up with the ideas of EU banning coal import from Russia in April (two months later EU all switching to coal), escrow oil & gas payment to Russia (this brilliant idea lasted not even a week), and institute a cap on Russia oil prices.

Sure look like another home run from these guys.
What happens to these western educated elites with all their fancy theories like game theory, A.I. and software analysis along with table top exercises to ensure or at least anticipate every possible scenarios before implementing what it looks for now, a self-defeating policies after the other.

I'm sure there's more to worry about back home Reuters...

It would be better use US export proceeds to directly fund overseas BRI investments as much as possible, as holding onto additional compromised US / EU currencies brings no additional benefit
