Roger, your TDS has reached DEFCON 3. Have you and Ronricks become butt buddies?

You’re at the TDS stage where Trump’s actions are judged as all or nothing. Like Trump’s 1st term when the Dims argued the wall wasn’t going to stop illegal immigration, so let’s not fund it. It didn’t matter that it would significantly DECREASE it. All or nothing.

China may not own or control the port, but it definitely has strategic interests in it and has been gaining more influence over it the past several years.

they dont.

And unlike Trump told you, they have no control over the canal.

You have been fed a line of lies and you dont even question it.

I just did a quick google search and there’s an article towards the top of results put out by “Market Realist” from 2022 that blames Trump’s “lack-a-dasical” attitude towards the canal for China’s growing influence & “control” over certain portions of the canal.

Trump will get attacked no matter which direction he goes

They do fully control the ports. Every Chinese owned company is an extension of the government. They can swoop in at anytime and do whatever they want with a corp

Do you not remember the Alibaba founder being disappeared before returning eons later fully cowed?

He's right that China has never owned or operated the canal though.

Roger will promote whatever Xi tells him to. The reality of the circumstances is irrelevant.

The HK company rent and run the ports around the global including two Panama ports.

If these ports are sold to Black Rock, China is afraid Chinese ships will lose access to these ports. China need those ports to trade with South America, Europe and Africa. That is why China is blocking the port sale.

The belt and road project is used to expand the market for Chinese goods.

Biden has a similar project a few years ago. But the project died since people need to do hard work in a lot poor, unsafe countries. American companies do not want to do business in those shitting countries. Chinese people traditionally have very good relationship with poor countries.

With the new expanded markets, the trade between US and China dropped to 18% from 40% since Trump's first term. That is why China is not scared to match the tariff with Trump.

The thinking from Chinese side is:

The export to US is for US $. With the US$, China can buy oil and gas.
China has enough of the US $. No need to earn more. With the Russian asset frozen precedent, the US $ is not safe asset any more.

It is a pleasant surprise to China that Trump starts trading war with every country. China prepared the war vs. US + Europe + Japan + Korean + UK + Canada. Last year, all providential governors and 10, 000 companies assembled together and prepared the trading war strategy.

Trump often uses hyperbole, always has. It’s amazing how his words are micro-analyzed when others in his position, particularly the previous puppet, are given wide latitude in regards to the meaning of their words
