Damaging Economic Confusion in the West on Consumption in China In the Western media numerous articles appear calling for China to increase the percentage of consumption in GDP in order to make China’s economic structure more like a Western model. This is called “boosting consumption." In reality, both the facts and economic theory show that increasing the percentage of consumption in China’s GDP would lead to slower growth of consumption and living standards in China. This is because there is a negative correlation between the percentage of consumption in GDP and the growth rate of GDP, i.e., increasing the percentage of consumption in GDP would lead to slower growth of consumption. This applies both in China, which the present article deals with, and in all major economies. Those who call for a higher percentage of consumption in GDP are in fact calling for a slower rate of growth of living standards for the Chinese people and a slower growth of consumption. johnross43.substack.com/p/damaging-eco…

🇨🇳🇨🇺 BREAKING: 60,000 tons of rice from China sets sail for Cuba. First batch already on the water. The US blockades. China delivers. Cuba faces crisis. Beijing sends hope. Cuba Is Not Alone. The world is watching.

China has donated 5,000 solar power systems to Cuba. This is what real commitment to international cooperation, solidarity, and development looks like — concepts that are completely alien to most Western leaders.

Bessent himself said it 👇 It's just too good, going to war against Iran and the outcome 3 weeks into it is they remove sanctions on Iranian oil. No scenarist could have written that one 😅 x.com/i/status/20346…

I am losing my mind. Do these people not realise that the Strait of Hormuz was open, to the world, for free, until they decided to bomb Iran unprovoked and kill their leader and kill little schoolgirls?

They're called principles, @Keir_Starmer, you should try them

How is it Iran are firing salvo after salvo of drones and missiles and never seem to flatten hospitals, schools, and media tents? Do Amalek have better aim or just less genocidal?

If the definition of “real friendship” was an image.

I’m on my way to Cuba for an emergency 3-day visit. I’ll be delivering medical aid to a children’s cancer hospital and joining an international delegation of MPs opposed to Trump’s new ban on any fuel entering the country. This cruel policy is putting lives at risk. It is an inhumane attempt to strangle the Cuban people. And Trump is even threatening that Cuba could be “next” after Iran. We must take a stand.

My conversation with @Glenn_Diesen regarding Iran and the looming wider conflict with Russia and China... youtu.be/4rHhRNaH9LI?si…

Unfortunately threatening escalation after you have already killed Iran’s leadership and made it clear that you want regime change is unlikely to persuade Iran to back off. They believe they have less to lose than their adversaries and they are right

Nigel Farage trying to avoid blame for supporting Trumpflation.

Britain is 6% Muslim. Germany 5%. France 10%. Sweden 9%. Belgium 7%. At this rate of Islamic conquest, Europe will be majority Muslim sometime around the year 2847. I’d pencil in some mild concern for around 2600 and see how things look then. Now. The refugees. Since someone asked who’s paying for all this. Let’s follow the money back a bit further. America invaded Afghanistan, spent 20 years there achieving absolutely nothing, then left in such breathtaking chaos that people were literally hanging off aircraft. It then invaded Iraq over weapons that turned out not to exist, killed somewhere between 150,000 and a million people, and converted a functioning country into a sectarian hellscape. This is before we even get to the drones over Yemen, Somalia and Pakistan. The people washing up on European shores are, in very large part, the direct human wreckage of American foreign policy. America created the disaster. Europe is housing the survivors. And America is on the internet asking why Europe keeps letting people in. Remarkable cheek, really. As for eliminating indigenous culture: the United States actually eliminated its indigenous people. Deliberately. With rifles and government paperwork. Europe took in Syrian doctors. These are not comparable situations, and pretending they are requires a truly heroic indifference to history. The culture is fine. France still has the cheese. The Louvre is still there. Bach is still there. Nothing has been eliminated except, apparently, the ability to read a percentage.

🇨🇺🤝🇨🇳 The first badge of the 60 thousand tons of rice offered by the People's Republic of China, sets sail towards #Cuba. In response to adversity, the solidarity of true friends prevails and demonstrates that #CubaIsNotAlone.

Only 7% of U.S. Americans support the use of force to remove the Cuban government.

Nigel Farage and Reform UK are desperately trying to distance themselves from Donald Trump’s Iran War. Don’t let them pretend they didn’t support it.

Less than a quarter of U.S. Americans agree with President Trump that Cuba represents an extraordinary threat to the national security of the United States.

Human Zoo in paris, 1905. White Americans & Europeans used Africans to create "Human Zoos" in cities like Paris, Hamburg, Antwerp, Barcelona, London, Milan, Warsaw, St Louis and New York City.

The west in a perpetual state of shock when they learn what Chinese leaders constantly say publicly is what they actually believe

From the Battle of Okinawa to the New Cold War - By Tings Chak & Atul Chandra ‘Today, in the heightened New Cold War that the US is imposing on China, this infrastructure is expanding.
