Thank you all who put the safety of Aston Villa fans, Birmingham residents snd the British public above the zionist and political pressure to let Israeli hooligans and terrorists run riot in our country.

Couple more snippets. Trump trolling Xi Jinping and internal fights in Beijing. MSS is playing a bigger role in economic issues. Would be like the CIA getting involved.

@BalkanMilNews The same kind of "genius" narrative exists for Russia and Putin. It's the same nonsense that it is for China. US tariffs are exacting a huge toll on China, which is why Beijing is playing hard ball with rare earths. And Putin is bleeding Russia in Ukraine.

I think as an instant take, this is contentious. Strategically though, I think it’s almost hollow, save only for some, not all, aspects of the REE position. In tech, finance and tech-oriented REE matters, escalation dominance resides much more with the U.S.

This is the equivalent to what the German army did to the Warsaw Ghetto and then the whole of Warsaw. Collective punishment and mass destruction led to the Nuremberg Trials. They need to be staged again for today's war criminals.

Trump starts a fight with China. Trump losses the fight with China. China takes action to distance itself from abusive international relationships like the U.S. which has relied on China for decades to manufacture what we couldn’t and be the largest importer of agricultural

Yes, and it’s odd how ppl are quick to assume that escalating friction is a) negotiable and b) something only China wins. It’s certainly got a strong hand, but this time almost as certainly overplayed. Won’t be resolved quickly but n.b.

“Massive” US tariffs threatened. Trump’s response to China’s sweeping rare earth controls shows friction between China and the US is escalating not abating. Perhaps a trade deal will prove elusive after all.

It won’t change because Chinese industrial policy seeks to not only bolster Chinese power but also challenge global order. Both sides do weaponisation, eg earths or semis exp controls etc. But if Beijing thought RE metals controls wouldn’t get a reaction , they miscalculated 2/2

President Trump pulls down APEC meeting in response to Chinese escalation. It seems he is finally paying attention to the fact he is losing the trade war. Now it’s time for him to push back. I’ve been predicting financial sanctions — I think that may be where this heads.

In other news, the sun revolves around a flat Earth, dirt protects the body from illness, and animals can be tried and executed for crimes. All of these things including Polanski are medieval and happen when reason dies.

🇹🇳 China has already dumped nearly half of its US treasuries and is now only the third largest holder of US debt behind Japan and the UK. 📉 When the next bubble bursts, the US is not going to have the massive Chinese industrial cushion and line of credit that it had in 2008.
