@tencentdave @OzmunC That's why i said "incident" and not "massacre", get it?

@JeanGenie19 @OzmunC There was no incident in Tiananmen. The story that 10,000students were killed in the square, their bodies turned to pulp by tanks and then incinerated by flame-throwers, turns out to be misinformation emanating from the British ambassador to China himself.

The arrogant Financial Times was caught LYING about China's poverty alleviation campaign. FT visited rural Guizhou where they claimed the campaign had failed. Thankfully news outlet Sinical visited the same woman FT interviewed to fact check their story. The woman told Sinical that FT's "journalists" had been extremely dishonest and unethical. They didn't identify themselves as journalists and they didn't tell her they worked for the Financial Times. The elderly woman is living a comfortable life, and this is what her house looks like. Thank you Sinical for holding dishonest Western journalists accountable!

@brainiac3397 @OzmunC Yes, let's move on to the current genocide in Gaza officially acknowledged by ICJ?

@JeanGenie19 @OzmunC Do you have anything from this century or are you going to keep beating the same dead horses while the rest of the world moves on?

@OzmunC Their reporting (or LIES) always seem to make one luv the US or the West more and luv China less. Strange, very strange. LOL

@OzmunC Does this mean they also lied about the Great Leap Forward, the Cultural Revolution and Tianenmen Square incident?

The United States has a habit of watching its rivals shrink. The Soviet Union collapsed. Japan, which was supposed to own America in the 1980s, is now a far smaller economy. China looks set to follow. In 2021 China's GDP reached 76 percent of American GDP, and the consensus was that it would pass the US before 2030. That consensus has collapsed. By 2024 the US economy was 29.2 trillion dollars against China's 18.9 trillion, a gap that has widened for three straight years. China's working-age population is shrinking. Its fertility rate has fallen to roughly 1.0, half of replacement. There is no immigration to compensate. Yet America benefits from believing it faces a formidable rival. The belief is what keeps it competing.

@say_so51856 @OopsGuess You a warmonger?

@OopsGuess if you have balls to attack a Japanese destroyer in international waters, just do it bei. don't come here and posture like a peacock, no balls.

Publishing this level of detail is itself a message. The Chinese side did not just say that a Japanese destroyer passed through the Taiwan Strait. It showed the ship type, the hull number, the missile loadout, the exact transit window, and the surveillance footage. This was not routine reporting. It was a warning. A very calm way of telling Japan: we saw you, we tracked you, and nothing you do in Chinese waters goes unseen. And when Beijing chooses to make something this visible, it usually means the response will not end with publicity. China has never been soft on Japan. It is usually just colder than loudmouth empires.

Funny story: Milton Friedman visited China a few times after reform & opening up to lecture on inflation. He ended up giving them one of his usual sermons about why they should privatize everything. A Communist Party Scholar told him that he might find China’s system turns out to be superior to one entirely based on Free Markets. A notion which Friedman dismissed as “political correctness.” Today, China’s system has in fact proven to be superior to one based on Friedmanite free markets, and yet here you have an American trying to claim that their system is Milton Friedman style capitalism. Where in Milton Friedman’s writings did he advocate for state ownership of banks & land? Or five year central economic plans created & enforced by the state? People will twist themselves into all sorts of pretzels to avoid admitting the obvious fact that China is a Socialist country with a Marxist Leninist understanding of economics.

@garysavage1 @haugejostein Gary’s just a wealthy old fool, flaunting overpriced supercars to impress his subscribers; when some high-end Chinese EVs can out-accelerate them at a fraction of the cost.

@haugejostein LOL the average yearly salary in China is between $9000 and $17,000 US dollars. They can't afford any of that stuff.

The idea that the US innovates while China imitates is seriously flawed. In the past 10 years alone, China has produced a string of innovations in EVs, batteries, solar power, robotics, AI, high speed rail, telecoms, and biotech. The list goes on. But, most importantly, China innovates for the public whereas the US innovates for shareholders. China now has more than 50,000km of high speed rail in operation. That's more than the rest of the world combined. It connects hundreds of cities. A brand new EV can be purchased for as little as $6,000 in China. Electric mopeds can be as cheap as $300. China's entire population has access to 4G or 5G. We're talking about a country of 1.4 billion people here. Innovation isn't just about what gets invented. It's about who it's invented for, and in China, the answer is increasingly “everyone.”

@vaughn_shah @zerohedge Meaning the US will remain the sole superpower in a unipolar world?

@JeanGenie19 @zerohedge I don’t think the world is transforming into a multipolar.

Russia Vows To 'Fill China's Energy Resource Gap' Amid Hormuz Crisis In Lavrov-Xi Meeting zerohedge.com/energy/russia-…

@vaughn_shah @zerohedge If you think the world is transiting into a multi-polar world and becoming more equitable and fair, then the exorbitant privilege of the USD as the only reserve currency has to be slowly eroded over time.

@JeanGenie19 @zerohedge That’s why we need to stop the Ukraine war and end the sanctions on Russia. And I am skeptical of the dedollarization argument.

@vaughn_shah @zerohedge Even if there's no discount, which i seriously doubt, they'll be in RMB - thus resulting in even more trade outside the USD system, & accelerating the dedollarisation process.

@zerohedge It ain’t gonna be at a discount… that’s for sure

NIO, XPeng, Li Auto: Top 3 Models of Dec 2025 NIO: ES8 more than doubled its Nov sales to take the crown. Firefly set a new monthly record again, while the ONVO L60 came in third. The L90 dropped out of the top three. XPeng: X9 broke into the top 3 thanks to the new long-range EREV version. G6 slipped off the list. Li Auto: i6 climbed to No.1, now the brand’s top seller. L6 ranked second, and L7 replaced i8 in third. Notably, NIO ES8’s volume outpaced every other top-seller. Can it hold the lead? 👀 $NIO $XPEV $Li #ChinaEV

@TheWaveCount At what price will your c-wave scenario be negated? $7.24?

$NIO Update Still bearish short-term. We are currently reacting well at the 61.8% Fibonacci level at $6.63, however, I still expect one final sell-off before Wave 2 completes and Wave 3 begins. My overall view has not changed. What's your take? Drop it in the comments 👇 Not financial advice

@RnaudBertrand @SajKhan01273642 @Ride4Truth There’s no such thing as absolute “truth” when it comes to predictions; you’d think that’s a basic reality to avoid disappointment. That said, some of his calls are still quite credible, and even when they miss, they remain thought-provoking and entertaining.

@SajKhan01273642 @Ride4Truth It's not about "creating content", this isn't entertainment. It's about caring about truth.

Another casualty of the war 😏

@juan235750881 @DCDOWORK Juan probably sold all the down from $60...

@DCDOWORK 4.5 next week

$NIO could we see $7+ next week!?!

@LukeGromen In COVID, oil demand was down 9.2% y/y but its price crashed to around negative $15!

In COVID oil demand was down 9.2% y/y. All it took was shutting down much of the economy & handing out stimmy’s. You think we can shut the economy more than COVID, with no stimulus and without stock & bond markets, banking systems, & sovereign credit blowing up? 🤦‍♂️

@jim_hhess @GregorPepe China’s M2 is higher due to: 1. High domestic savings rate. 2. Limited capital outflows (money stays inside system. 3. Bank-dominated system (less capital markets). China’s debt is mostly domestic & state-controlled. US debt is more market-based & globally held. US risk higher!

@GregorPepe Rapidly rising M2 is concrete evidence that debt (credit) is expanding quickly in the economy. In a system where money and debt are two sides of the same ledger, one cannot grow rapidly without the other. Compare China's credit expansion to the US's to learn something.

Did you know? China worked hard for 21 years to build $3 trillion in reserves. The US simply conjured up $17 trillion in just 2 years—out of nothing—then used it to extract real value from the rest of the world and wage wars of conquest. And people still wonder why the USD dominates? It’s not just a currency. It’s leverage. It’s power. It’s a weapon. #USD #falling #hegemon

@henrysgao You'd be a fool to think the same of Professor Longhair or Dr. John...lol

Prof. Jiang can predict many complex things - except the simple fact that people would eventually discover he isn’t the professor he claims to be.

@sharma_views @jh_yeo40187 "Verified authority"? Gosh some people are so dumb that they can't distinguish facts from fiction or bother to seek truth from facts themselves but need a verification authority. LOL

@jh_yeo40187 It matters when the title builds credibility. Jiang is knowledgeable no doubt, but “Professor” signals verified authority.

🚨 MEHDI: You’re not a professor. JIANG: People call me that. MEHDI: Your channel says it. JIANG: Someone calls himself The God online. MEHDI: No one believes he’s God. But people believe you’re a professor. THAT’S WHERE MEHDI HASAN STANDS OUT.

Hegseth is the guy you met at Huntington Beach in your 20s. He was always drunk, always an asshole, and always picking fights with people weaker than him. I am not surprised that this is the face of the Jewish Crusades, led by this Goy Christian Zionist. I am also not surprised of his rape allegation. I guarantee you there were more than the one we know about. We've all met a Pete or two in our lives.
