Anthony Bliken in China

The US president sent Antony Blinken to China to try to re-normalize relations with the country.  First and foremost to stop the arrest of American citizens trying to leave the country and normalize trade between the two.   A few weeks ago China's most supportive friend in the US administration (Janet Yellen) turned into a hawk, and Blinken, considered the most serious and capable foreign envoy of the US was sent to see if a trade war could be averted.

Let's not forget that the US can do rather well without Chinese imports, and every day this situation is improving.  The issue is that the Chinese market is completely closed to US imports and has been since before COVID-19.  

To say that Blinken's reception was "frosty" would be a polite way of saying what actually happened, in reality the Xi Jinping wanted nothing to do with the man, he was under the impression that America needs China.

American warships have been protecting the oil trade in the Middle East, and they have been protecting bulk carriers bringing fertilizers and other raw materials to the Chinese.   The Americans were trying to find common ground with China and wanted nothing but to continue their "Wolf Warrior" actions wherever they could get away with it (just ask the Philippines how much fun they are having).  

Blinken left China three days ago, with no serious discussions with anyone in China.   It seems that the Americans are left with one solution.  Walk away and let the Chinese fend for themselves...It gets worse Chinese media made a big show of how the American envoy was sent packing.    Biden is no fool, the answer is so simple.   Whoops!   sorry your shipment of oil was hijacked...you should provide some security to your shipment, we are busy!

The end of Tesla?

 it takes a special kind of idiot, to think that he can antagonize his entire customer base, and think that it will not impact his business. When Elon Musk went to work for Donald Trump, and created the doge department, he antagonized every liberal, and these people represent 90% of his client base.That’s not a brilliant move. Now Elon Musk is worth hundreds of billions of dollar, so he shouldn’t care a great deal, however, he needs to care because of several other issues. The cyber truck has been a disaster, most have had to be recalled because of defective glue, it’s not a truck, it’s not a car, it’s noisy, relatively uncomfortable, but great as a development platform. What Tesla has learned in making car manufacturing more seamless is truly amazing. The problem was that Elon Musk was so pissed with the Democrats, and with Joe Biden, in particular because of some slight, which were just plain stupid too. By the way, that he decided to support with hundreds of millions of dollar, ...

Donald Trump‘s bad bargain

 The entire of 2023 and 2024 when Donald Trump was running for the White House, his mantra was no war, that the Ukraine conflict would be resolved in a day, and that he would do everything not to involve America and war. How the world has changed! He finds himself facing three conflicts; Ukraine, still going on almost 5 months after he became president. Gaza, an unspeakable crime against humanity, is obviously going to go all the way to its bitter end. And finally, Israel’s attack against Iran. It’s important to note, that Benjamin Netanyahu first indicated at the United nation that the Iranian were 3 to 5 years away from having the nuclear bomb. He made that statement in 1995. Therefore, no one is surprised that he uses the same two lines every so often. It’s entirely possible, that 30 years after he first announced it, that Iran has finally developed the bomb. It’s also remarkable that Iran, local power has been destroyed, from Yemen, to Syria, via Lebanon and Gaza to small exten...

TACO again, but worst!

 Donald Trump got the rare earth metals that he had thrown away on April 2, liberation day as he called it. What did the Chinese get in exchange? The whole deal, is on the wrap right now. But let’s be clear. It’s the Chinese that have the upper hand.Some of the materials made by the Chinese, are simply unavailable anywhere else. suspicions are that the Chinese got the high-end chips that they lost under Biden. Tariffs will probably return to the level of April 1, and in the end Donald and his friends got nothing for it. It gets worse, Chinese exports to United States are down 40%. The Chinese have found new markets, I probably never gonna buy American grain again. Once again, Donald Trump proved he’s a great negotiator. He got absolutely nothing for his Showmanship. He told the world, that everyone would come and kiss his ass, instead they’re laughing At him. There’s no joke about Donald Trump, a 25 and inherited a huge fortune and proceeded to make it a small one. Bottom line, the...
