@zhao_dashuai The U.S. sabotaged the Nationalists saving the CCP from being pushed into Russia in 1946 so you guys should be grateful for being given a chance at that time given how Mao betrayed the nation selling secrets to Japan during the war.

Zhao DaShuai 东北进修🇨🇳 Commentary
Out of all the imperialist powers, objectively speaking, the US did the least damage to China. So there is no deep historic hatred for the US, the animosity towards the US is caused by 3 aspects: 1️⃣US support of Taiwan separatists. 2️⃣The US trying to stifle Chinese growth, manifested in the form of the trade and tech war. 3️⃣Less so in recent years; The US desire for regime change in China. Of the 3, the 3rd one is becoming ineffective, as Chinese institutions and system matures and strengthens, the 2nd is somewhat understandable from the perspectives of Americans, no one wants to give up power. So the main problem, and the core of China-US animosity revolves around Taiwan. Supporting Taiwan is increasingly a liability for the US, because this stumbling block fundamentally forbids full normalization of China-US relations. But the Taiwan lobby is the 3rd most pervasive in the US, after Israel and GCC lobby groups. Hence the pro-Taiwan stance of US politicians are the result of bribery and corruption. And the ridiculous notion that the US will fight a war on Taiwan's behalf is the fantasy made up by anti-China shills online. There will be a time when the American ruling class realize Taiwan is more trouble than it's worth, and give it up. They've already made concessions throughout the decades; How many pro-Taiwan shills know the US deployed nuclear weapons in Taiwan until 1972? The US position on Taiwan is in constant retreat. Giving them up fully may come sooner than you think.

As Trump heads to China to meet Xi, it’s time for a reality check on the Chinese economy. We’ve endured years of breathless talk about the “Asian century” and China’s inexorable rise. Elites couldn’t stop praising the “China model” with its state-led efficiency, gleaming infrastructure, and unstoppable momentum. That narrative has aged disastrously. So much so all the old pro-engagement business leaders have begun changing their tune to save face (Dimon, Dalio et al.) Even with reported 5% annual growth, China is not closing the gap with the US in nominal USD terms. Its GDP as a share of America’s peaked at 78% in 2021 and has fallen to just 64% in 2024. Yes the renminbi’s sharp depreciation against the dollar is true, but it begs the question of why did the currency weaken enough to slash China’s relative GDP by 14 percentage points in three years? Currency collapse is not a sign of strength. The RMB has recovered some ground over the past 18 months, yet deflation and chronic overcapacity will cap any sustained rally. With PPP adjustments, the gap closes but the US is still richer than China. Don’t listen to the blackpillers saying the US is collapsing or the “dollar dominance is ending.” Both countries have debt problems but China knows how to creatively hide it. Markets tell the starkest truth. US equities (S&P 500) have surged from ~$45 trillion in 2021 to $55–60 trillion. Chinese indices (CSI 300 + Hang Seng) have slid from ~$13 trillion at their peak to around $10 trillion. If this were just a currency story, America’s market values wouldn’t be booming while China’s shrank in absolute terms. The bottom line: China’s slowdown is structural. America is in much better shape and barring some epic self-cucking, the US should still be dominant

@RTSG_News Karl Marx, father of communism, was a satanic Ashkenazi-jew ! Satanic Ashkenazi-jews -like Sidney Rittenberg, Jakob Rosenfeld, Israel Epstein & David Crook - had prominent roles in Mao Zedong's "Chinese" communist revolution. Many other western Ashkenazi-jews were supporters.

🚨🚨🚨 THE UAE HAS 3 OPTIONS LEFT TONIGHT. ALL 3 ARE CATASTROPHIC. 🚨🚨🚨 Iranian drones just struck Fujairah. A second wave is inbound. Ballistic missiles are launched from Bushehr. The UAE is cornered. Here are its only moves: ⚠️ OPTION 1: ABSORB AND DE-ESCALATE → Let the Fujairah fire burn out. Call it "contained." → Pretend the second wave was "intercepted successfully." → Signal to Iran that even hitting the bypass terminal carries no cost → Lose deterrence with every Gulf neighbor watching → Invite the next wave within 48 hours ⚠️ OPTION 2: STRIKE BACK INTO IRAN → Hit Iranian targets directly for the first time → Drag the entire Gulf into open war → Saudi Arabia and Israel forced to pick a lane in hours, not weeks → Bushehr-range missiles start flying at every Gulf capital → Oil markets gap so far up there are no buyers at the open ⚠️ OPTION 3: CALL IN THE US → Pull every US base in Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait, and UAE into the war directly → Those exact bases are already inside Bushehr's missile envelope → The "ceasefire" becomes a multi-front war by morning → Every Iranian proxy from Yemen to Iraq lights up at once Let that sink in. There is no Option 4. There is no clean exit. The media is showing you "tensions rising in the Gulf." They're NOT showing you that the only port the world had left to bypass Hormuz is on fire, and every choice from here makes it worse. This is the most dangerous decision the UAE has faced since it became a country. Turn notifications on. The next post is the one you don't want to miss. 🚨🚨🚨

BREAKING: China's Ministry of Commerce just officially declared it will not recognize, implement, or comply with US sanctions on Iranian oil purchases. Five named Chinese refineries sanctioned by Washington for buying Iranian crude: 🇨🇳 Hengli Petrochemical (Dalian) 🇨🇳 Shandong Jincheng Petrochemical 🇨🇳 Hebei Xinhai Chemical Group 🇨🇳 Shouguang Luqing Petrochemical 🇨🇳 Shandong Shengxing Chemical The US accused them of importing tens of millions of barrels of sanctioned Iranian oil — sending billions of dollars directly to Tehran. Beijing's response on May 2, 2026: "Will not be recognized, implemented, or complied with." Not a negotiation. Not a request for a waiver. A flat rejection of US legal authority over Chinese companies buying oil from a third country. China buys Iranian crude at a discount. Iran gets the revenue. The US sanction becomes unenforceable. The dollar's ability to police global energy trade just got publicly rejected by the world's largest oil importer. I’ll keep you updated in real-time. Turn on notifications or you might regret.

Former Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad: “The world no longer accepts that a single nation dictates the fate of all others across the ocean. The system based on the dollar and military pressure is exhausted. If Washington wants to avoid its own downfall, it must learn the word ‘respect.’ We are not a colony—we are a civilization thousands of years old. Every attack they launch against Iranian soil only hastens the end of their influence on this side of the world.”

Professor Clara Mattei just gave a masterclass on the coercion of capitalism: “Capitalism has been imposed upon us by a tiny elite since the beginning. Liberal democracy is really only a superficial facade. When people rise up against the capitalist system liberals and fascists are best friends to implement austerity.” She wasn’t done teaching! She also points out capitalism itself isn’t natural and that it took control of the world using violence by excluding people from the land. Prior to capitalism forcing itself onto the world indigenous cultures used a much different method to organize their societies: “If you look at all the indigenous cultures it was based on circular, horizontal organization through councils. It was about caring for the commons and caring for nature rather than extracting.” Professor Mattei just gave the world a much needed wake up call with this interview and outlined the need for humanity to look to its indigenous roots for how to chart a sustainable path forward!

All the bad things people attribute to capitalism are the acts of organized crime rings. They infiltrate both business and government and do all kinds of criminal things, and then stupid people blame capitalism instead of the criminals. Of course, the criminals are behind this narrative, too, because this drives support for socialism and the increased taxes that then flow through their fraudulent pipelines.

🔺 Reuters: The era of aircraft carriers is coming to an end; the USS Abraham Lincoln departs the Persian Gulf in pain. 🔺 Reuters: Thanks to its military ingenuity, Iran has proven that aircraft carriers are no longer "impressive fortresses", but simply bulky and expensive targets. 🔺 CNN: A national trauma; how could a $13 billion asset be rendered ineffective in minutes? 🔺 CNN: USS Abraham Lincoln's return to the United States in this state is the biggest blow to the reputation of the U.S. military since the Vietnam War. 🔺 Spoutnik: The legend is dead; Abraham Lincoln came to threaten, but returns in the form of a floating pile of junk. 🔺 AFP (Agence France-Presse): Panic at the Pentagon; with the withdrawal of the USS Abraham Lincoln, the balance of forces in West Asia has definitely flipped in favor of Iran. 🔺 AFP: US allies are horrified; even if the largest US warship cannot defend itself against Iran, no one can rely on US protection anymore. 🔺 The Telegraph: This defeat will go down in history as "the moment when Western naval domination collapsed."

🇮🇷🇺🇸🇦🇪 Land based rockets were fired from UAE! Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi: “Last night, they have attacked Kharg Island and Abu Musa Island with the artillery rocket system, HIMARS as they call it, which is a low-range rocket system. And they have done it from the soil of our neighbors. This is crystal clear that they are using the territory of our neighbors to attack us by this kind of rockets, and this is absolutely unacceptable. These attacks were tracked by our forces, and now it is clear that they are fired from the UAE — from two locations in the UAE — from Ras Al Khaimah and from a location very close to the city of Dubai. And it is very dangerous that they use highly populated areas to launch rockets against us.”
Lord Bebo@MyLordBebo

🇮🇷🇺🇸 Iran was making big concessions, by diluting the enriched material Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi: “I never said that we are going to make bombs. I said that we have 440 kilos of 60 percent enriched material, and that was not a secret. That is what is mentioned in the reports of the IAEA. If enriched more, it could be enough for 10 bombs according to your own experts’ claims. So we are ready to give them up, to dilute them, to downblend them into lower degrees. By saying that, I wanted to say that the concession that we were making was really big. But how they have interpreted that, I don’t know. Maybe because of lack of knowledge, maybe because of their intentions to justify, as I said, the act of aggression which cannot be justified.”

Direct communication between rivals is not a sign of panic — it’s a normal part of crisis management. The region has seen tensions before, and back-channel diplomacy between Gulf states and Iran has been ongoing for years. Dialogue is often the first step toward preventing escalation, not proof that the situation is spiraling.
