The UAE, which pledged $1.4 trillion in investments to the US, now threatens to switch to the Chinese yuan unless the US bail them out. 🤔

Not only is the rule of law dead in Hong Kong, its free market system is morphing into banana republic.

It’s shameful that a Western CEO is still visiting Hong Kong to assist Beijing in attempting to whitewash this reality.

China expressed concern over the “armed piracy by the US military”. 🙃

Strait of Hormuz, China’s reaction.

It appears that the UAE won’t be investing the $1 trillion it pledged to acquire GPUs from the US.

The common perception when China promotes “reunification.”

Here are the 25 Taiwanese “useful idiots” named by IORG in the Reuters article.

Ok 👀, 🇨🇳 ’s interference with European shipping companies is merely a warm up, next they’ll leveraging its ownership in European ports to force Europe to comply.
