Michael Hudson, author of "Super Imperialism", former consultant to the US State Dept, said :

"Most of the Taiwanese officials, including central bank officials that I used to meet with, all say, you know, ultimately we want to, we plan on rejoining China. We’re going to try to take as much of a business position in mainland China as we can.

But ultimately, the economy is going to re-merge. It’s just a question of when we can get a better deal from China than we get in the United States.

And as the United States is in a state of rapid shrinkage of its economy right now, all of a sudden other countries are saying that very quickly, well, let’s rethink our position and maybe we’re going to do better off not following the neoliberal plan of the United States.

Let’s have a mixed economy where the government and industry and labor work together to develop the economy instead of a polarized, financialized, Reagan- and Thatcherized economy that you’re having in the United States and England."

Polisi is doing all these stunt for her own self interest. The mid term elections n nothing more.

The ban on export of sand to Taiwan will affect TSMC.

Yellan's hope that China will join US price cap on Russian oil will not materialise.

Polisi taking about democracy in Taiwan ? Taiwan banned all opposition parties' media.

comments from other forums:
To fully explain the idiocy of Pelosi’s visit. Exports from Taiwan to mainland China in 2021 was 42.3% of Taiwan's total exports. In contrast, Taiwan’s total exports to the US was just14.7% in 2021. So China doesn’t need to invade Taiwan to crush it economically. They can just cut it off; And it will collapse.

Some ordinary Taiwanese tearing up US flag in protest against granny's visit. See in Global News.

The leaders of PRC are more wise and rational than you think.
Pravin Sawhney, author of "The Last War" tweeted: "I don’t believe China will start war over Pelosi’s provocative Taiwan visit. Beijing will not jeopardize its peaceful rise by its unmatched BRI. Surely, China-US relations will deteriorate. "

The tentacles of western colonialism of is alive and well and live in the likes of Gonzalo Stampa .
Western colonialism never ended.

Maybe, those interested in land grab can try those uninhabited islands in the Russian Far East.

Siversk About to Fall, Serbia Says Putin Planning 'Final Offer' on Ukraine Once Donbass Taken

A country which does not have capital flight and huge external borrowings will go bankrupt ? Wistful thinking at most.

The road to odessa. UTube showing pictures of Lysychansk cheering at Russian victory. Meanwhile, western media reported Ukraine winning.

He is responsible for the share price of Hengyuan to drop.

Well, KYY controls the market ? I do not buy this. Those speculators who move the price up n down have more bullets than him.

Influenced by Boris Johnson, I think. BBC, Sky... Ukraine is winning. Last time, it was the ghost of Kiev. This time, another story was made-goat of Kiev.

Of course Saudi salman knows Biden is waving a human rights file at him. Biden just want to get oil prices down n after that he will wave the human rights file at him again.

Lithuania signed agreements with Russia on free transit routes prior to being granted independence. Russia might abrogate the agreements as well as Lithuania's independence.

IF you are a frequent visitor to UTube. This video is interesting. "An Indian diplomat who was in Tienamen Square in 1989 said there was no massacre." He was there. And what he saw was contrary to that reported in western media. The same that Wikileaks' revelation that diplomatic cables sent by diplomats of Chile to their home country said the same thing. That is why the western countries are adamant on taking down Julian Assange. The western countries fell down from their human rights high horse because of him. He destroyed most of the western narratives about their self-righteousness.

My observation based on technical charting
Hengyuan is a typical "Pump & Dump" stock
Insiders knew they were making great profit for the 1st quarter
They started their collection in April 2022 around RM4.00 and pump it up to RM7.50 before unloading to retailers 1 month before the 1 Quarter announcement

Your observation is correct. The rocket-like candle up is wave 3 as per Elliott Wave techniques. Once it reaches wave 5 n started stalling, that is probably the peak. Once wave 5 is over, the subsequent correction will correct all the 5 waves up.

Elliott wave can't predict prices but it is reliable when using it as a strategy. It is more or less, not 100%. Most ppl are thinking of striking a home-run. Unfortunately, home-run is an exception and not the norm. Those who trade to the last tic on the charts are likely to be disappointed.

The normalisation of interest rates in US after the WW2 took 25 years. It is QE forever in US. Yellan tried it but she couldn't undo QE.

Of course LKT has the foresight. Just look at how he put Genting HK into liquidation instead of agreeing to guarantee the huge German loans to the German shipyard. He played his cards right. Germany is well on its way to deindustrialisation.

A 0.5 rate hike previously to tame the fires of inflation at abt 7.5% (unofficially 16%) ? Surely, there are more rate hikes to come.

The road to Odessa - Russian Defense Minister declared that the Land Bridge to Crimea is now complete.

China today practises industrial capitalism, the same that made the west rich in the 19th century. The west today practises financial capitalism.. Stock market.. Share buybacks.... I do no buy the argument that China is collapsing.

US researching Eloba virus in Ukraine bio labs. How humanity will perish? Your guess is as good as mine.

UK media reported Russia is on the verge of victory in Dobass. Suddenly , the mood in the western media shifted.

When asked by the host, Michael Hudson said the new trade bloc will trade in their local currencies n those nations which does not enough local currency of their counterpart can settle the difference using gold.
You can watch this video call in UTube by googling "Michael Hudson".

Michael Hudson (author of "Super Imperialism", former consultant to US State Dept) said recently.. China, Russia, India n BRIC countries can effectively form a new trade bloc, with its own payment system without the use of USD. The bloc is almost self sufficient n can trade less with US n its satellite countries.
(Michael Hudson's book "Super Imperialism" is used as a training manual for all new employees of US State Dept)

Russia is certainly not trying to take over the whole Ukraine as the western press suggest. Russia is doing a "Kosovo" in Ukraine. Putin had said NATO did it in Yugoslavia n said it was 'legal'.

russia winning on the ground, ukraine winning on social media

Spot on !

Powell doesn't have magic. Same like Yellan who thought she could undo QE implemented by Bernake. QE is here to stay forever. Unwinding QE will set rates going up.

When asked, "how successful are US sanctions?" Michael said, they were successful only for a few days.

Independent blogger, Gonzalo Lira said he had info that Russia will stop all its trade with US n Europe by Sept. Russia will stop selling its oil, gas, raw materials, food ...

Michael Hudson (former consultant to US State Dept, author of "Super Imperialism") had video call with former UK MP, George Galloway, wherein he said that the US fears it could no longer control its European satellite states. It sanctioned Russia in order to build a wall so that EU will buy lots of things from US n hopes the rest of the world follows US sanctions. This way the USD will continued to be supported. Michael Hudson foresees a parallel financial system that does not use USD running alongside the USD financial system. When asked, "how successful are US sanctions?" Michael said, they were successful only a few says.

Ha! one bucket of water to put out a mountain of fire ?

It is the sellers who intends to use Lazada's courier. I received a parcel from a person driving his private car which is not LEX recently even though LEX is the usual courier.

In China, they have battery stations like petrol stations. The car running out of battery can go to a battery station n change its battery. It is automated. The machine will dismantled the spend-battery under the car n install a fully charged battery in 10 mins.

so, its sour grape tantrum since not able to join Nato...now, we understand why civil war between these Orthodox Christian nations. none of Asia business - China better don't get involved, played out by these barbarian west

You are right sir. Biden called Putin a butcher. But isn't those US Presidents who preside over the carpet bombing Iraq, Yugoslavia ... where lots of innocent civilians are treated as collateral damage qualifies for this title ?? That is why most nations prefers neutrality.

Venezuela and Iran has linked up with Russia's MIR payment system.

Qatar said it is not able to make up any shortfall in gas significantly in Europe as it has long term contracts with Asian buyers. The greatest implications of these sanctions is the emergence of parallel payment systems. Qatar gave a hint to this. Oil n gas will no longer be sold only in USD. Rouble will also become a commodity currency.

The winner is US. Their objective is to stop Nordstream II. They got Germany to buy their expensive gas. They manage to undermine Russia's economy and keep Russia away from Europe. Russia's future is with Asia, not Europe. Russia tried to join NATO in the past but was rejected. The US fear it could no longer control Europe.

Israel giving a low-key response unlike Bojo or Scomo

Most misinformation comes from western media esp. UK. Ukraine has become a landlocked nation. The real battle is in the South not Kiev. Putin said his aim is not taking the whole Ukraine. This event took place some 80 years after the Ukrainian nationalist and policemen founded up God's Chosen People and handling them to the Nazis for execution.

The real war is in southern side of Ukraine..Donbass... and not Kiev.

NATO has already set the precedent in Kosovo by recognising the region as independent.

The Kanaks of New Caledonia boycotted France referendum whether to remain French as white immigrants already outnumbered the native Kanaks. Is the referendum valid?

Russia will trade their oil in Russian Ruble. Europe has been trading with Iran using an alternative payment system to Swift. SWIFT is mainly for USD trades.

In Buddhism, the iconic word is "wisdom". In Christianity ... there is the "wisdom of Solomon". Unfortunately, there is no such wisdom in man like Zelenskyy.
Finland, USSR's neighbour, live peacefully through the Cold War by adopting neutrality. Like Switzerland did. Finland was seen as a bridge between the East and the West.
