@deke_wei @hammeroflamb @jackprandelli I agree. Instead of focusing on ‘financial wealth’, think about making life pleasurable. Low living cost compared to income, affordable healthcare, childcare, education, and housing. Work opportunities.

@hammeroflamb @F01100101 @jackprandelli Maybe we could measure the success of a country by how many people actually own a home? Have savings? Have education? Can afford holidays? Have a great social infrastructure (roads, schools, health system etc.)? Wild take, I know.

The biggest macro consensus of the last 15 years was "China rising" The biggest investing mistake was acting on it. S&P 500 since 2011: 6.7x MSCI China: 1.67x

@hammeroflamb @jackprandelli after the real earnings or the real situation are reported or discovered?

@hammeroflamb @jackprandelli Stockmarket is future looking and based on expected earnings. Investors can expected all they like but whether the companies deliver real earnings is a different matter. If you think the Stockmarket is a reliable indicator of the economy, why do crashes and corrections happen /2

@RT_com Why can’t he say this on the international stage? Domestic politics, civil. International politics, guns. ?!

@MmisterNobody That’s because they all serve US. It’s not all doom and gloom, if these countries change course and become independent from US, there is more hope for the future. Is US empire in decline?

Why do Canada, the UK, and Australia, despite being thousands of kilometers apart, seem to be facing similar declines? It almost looks coordinated, doesn’t it?

@tmax100 @YourDudeJCage @JamieBonkiewicz You know, a lot of Americans don’t believe this is happening to US. Can US bounce back?

@YourDudeJCage @JamieBonkiewicz Gotta admit we are Hubris is the downfall of every empire Greeks, Persians, Romans, Spanish, British and soon Americans Belief that they are indestructible stops you listening

The world is watching all of this and thinking we’re a nation of idiots.

It's actually even more impressive than this because this is based on a recently released OECD report (oecd.org/en/data/insigh…) that asses that China overtook the US in R&D spending already 2 years ago, back in 2024 👇 Which means that we now live in a world where, on virtually every output metric - publications, citations, patents, and now spending - China is the world's top scientific power.

@Gianl1974 Everybody blames Trump but I think the issue is how did someone like Trump get to be the decision maker in the first place? What if instead of letting the uninformed public choose a leader, a group of experts from different fields personally choose someone to lead?

Trump just fired all 24 members of the National Science Board. Every single one. By email. No warning. No reason given. The board has existed since 1950. The National Science Board is the independent body that oversees the National Science Foundation, the agency that distributes $9 billion in research grants every year. Its members are scientists and engineers from universities and industry. They serve six-year staggered terms specifically so they cross presidential administrations and stay independent of whoever is in power. On Friday, every single one of them got the same boilerplate email from Mary Sprowls of the Presidential Personnel Office: "On behalf of President Donald J Trump, I am writing to inform you that your position as a member of the National Science Board is terminated, effective immediately. Thank you for your service." That's it. That's the whole letter. For 76 years of institutional independence. The NSF funds the basic science behind MRIs. Cellphones. LASIK eye surgery. GPS. The internet itself. The Antarctic research stations. The deep-space telescopes. The research vessels mapping the ocean floor. Every breakthrough that made America the world's leader in science for the better part of a century traces back through grants this agency made and this board approved. The board chair, Victor McCrary, was actively advising Congress on Trump's proposed 55% cut to NSF's budget. The board was helping fight back. So Trump fired the board. Marvi Matos Rodriguez, one of the fired members, told reporters she had been reviewing an 80-page report as part of her board duties just days before being terminated. Keivan Stassun, a physicist at Vanderbilt, said NSF's leadership had already stopped responding to board oversight requests months ago. "We would ask them, 'Are you following board governance directives?' And their answer would be, in effect, 'We don't listen to you anymore.'" Now there's no board to answer to. Rep. Zoe Lofgren of California, the top Democrat on the House Science Committee, called it "the latest stupid move made by a president who continues to harm science and American innovation. Will the president fill the NSB with MAGA loyalists who won't stand up to him as he hands over our leadership in science to our adversaries?" That's the actual question. Because while Trump is firing American scientists, China is building research universities at a rate we cannot match. The CDC just buried a study showing vaccines work. RFK Jr. runs HHS. The EPA is gutted. The Forest Service is being broken. Half of American children are breathing dangerous air. And now the people who decide what gets researched in the United States have all been fired by email on a Friday afternoon.

🚨🇲🇿🇨🇳 JUST IN: China and Mozambique just struck a major minerals deal. Graphite. Lithium. Rare earths. Key for EV batteries and renewables. Beijing will fund local processing plants, rail lines, power networks, and industrial corridors. This is not extraction. This is integration. Mozambique keeps more value at home. China secures critical supply chains. Both win. The West talks about Africa. China moves with Africa. That is the difference.

GROUNDBREAKING: 🇨🇳 China's BYD just unveiled an EV battery that charges up to 100% in just 10 minutes, even in freezing temperatures! The new cars also have AI agents that can make you a reservation at a nearby restaurant.

China has officially surpassed the U.S. in overall Research and Development spending, putting over $800 billion total into technological advancement. The U.S. was the world leader in all-time R&D spending for almost a century before getting beaten by China.

Have to say, "I love the headline!" 🤣

@WarrenVsCCP You put out a lot of anti-China posts. Ok, China is not good, it’s bad. 🤷‍♀️

Asian neighbors get mocked nonstop — “China is superior,” they say. Then you look at GDP per capita… China 🇨🇳 sits at the bottom of the list. Not rich. Not advanced. Just loud. That gap between the talk and reality? That’s the real embarrassment.

China bans businessmen from profiting from kid’s education. Meanwhile in the West, billionaires send kids to the Epstein Island.

@RG5417 @ShangguanJiewen But who’s desperate? Look at the world now with US acting so recklessly and Europeans and Canadians are seeking to diversify from US. US chaos is a sign of desperation.

@ShangguanJiewen Wishful thinking brought on by desperation.

@DavidZhang360 David is publishing his “analysis” constantly with the hope that he will brainwash ppl’s mind about China. He thinks that if he does it regularly, one day the general public will be persuaded by his lies. My advice is check from a wide variety of sources. David has extreme views.

China steals everything
