@NikkiHaley Americans' drug addiction is the Chinese's fault. Americans' illnesses are still the Chinese's fault. If the Chinese didn't exist, would Americans stop using drugs and getting sick?

China gave the world COVID. Then the Chinese Communist Party directed hackers to steal American COVID research while we were fighting the pandemic. Yesterday, one of those hackers was extradited to the U.S. to face charges. He’s also linked to a Chinese state-backed group that compromised nearly 13,000 U.S. organizations. This is one arrest, but China has thousands of hackers on its payroll. Worth remembering as we’re negotiating deals with the same government that did this.

@WallStreetMav You lack common sense. Oil-producing countries have a limited supply of oil for export. If Venezuela sells its oil to the US and India, it disrupts the supply to other oil-producing countries, forcing them to sell to China. In fact, Trump very much wants China to buy US oil.

Everyone is focused too much on Iran and missing the big picture of what Trump and Rubio are doing. China used cheap discounted oil from Venezuela and Iran to fill it's oil reserves. About 50% of Venezuela oil and 90% of Iranian oil went to China. Those two sources have been cutoff. Venezuelan oil now goes mostly to Texas and India. The big strategy is about limiting energy supplies to China. If China cannot sure stable oil imports, that neuters China's ability to impose it's strategy against other countries. The talking heads are trying to claim Iran is winning by surviving. But the reality on the group (and sea) is that the USA is in a strong position. The US stock market is near all time highs. The US Treasury market is doing fine. Investments are still pouring into the USA (and fleeing Europe) due to high European high energy prices and regulations that strangling economic growth.

@Ken_LoveTW In a nuclear weapons showdown, Japan is no match for China. China's territory is 25 times that of Japan, and even if attacked with the same number of nuclear warheads, Japan would suffer 25 times the damage. Moreover, China possesses far more nuclear weapons than Japan.

Japan Has Enough Plutonium for 5,500 Nuclear Warheads — China is terrified about Japan’s shift towards nuclear Power. In this video, we dive into the growing fear within China over Japan’s potential to go nuclear. With 44 tons of separated plutonium, Japan already has the materials to build thousands of warheads and all it needs is the political will to act. We break down the historic tension between China and Japan, how Japan's military actions are shifting, and why Beijing is terrified of a reawakened Japan. Plus, we explore Japan's bold move in the Taiwan Strait and what it means for the balance of power in Asia. Don’t miss this deep dive into a potential game-changer for the region.

@TheEconomist So, does teaching in English in the United States constitute suppression of other ethnic groups?

There are 56 ethnicities in China—and 55 are getting squashed. A new law passed by the Chinese legislature is a grim milestone in the Communist Party’s harder-line approach to ethnic politics. Read how minority groups in China are increasingly being squeezed: econ.st/4mOeCl3

@RLHeinrichs What has Iran done to the United States that countries that do business with Iran have become objects of your hatred? Your rhetoric is exactly like that of the Nazis.

China helps our enemies which are authoritarian powers. We help countries that are and want to be part of the West, that are victims of aggression, and whose security benefits ours.

@zundamotisuki 尖閣諸島は正式には釣魚島と呼ばれ、中国領である。実際、中国領土を侵犯したのは日本の方だ。

中国の船が日本の領海に侵入した際の映像。 海上保安庁によると、中国は尖閣諸島周辺をほぼ毎日のように航行している。 こんな国と仲良くするとか不可能だと思いませんか？ 私は不可能だと思います。 こんな国に優遇措置を与えようとした岩屋毅外務大臣は無能では？

@Globalsurv What if China decides to produce 50 million drones per year to counter this?

🇺🇲🇨🇳🇹🇼Could THOUSANDS of US “Hellscape” drone boats turn the Taiwan Strait into a nightmare for CHINA’s fleet plans against TAIWAN? Taiwanese officials have welcomed a new US Navy plan to deploy thousands of uncrewed surface vessels across the Indo-Pacific by 2030, saying it could complicate CHINA’s military planning and strengthen deterrence. As of April 2026, the US Navy plans to field more than 30 medium USVs plus thousands of smaller drone boats and supporting aerial systems across the Indo-Pacific by 2030. The boats are designed for saturation attacks: ramming, exploding, launching missiles/loitering munitions, or simply acting as decoys to overwhelm PLA sensors and defenses.

@Terenceshen The United States is clearly not the world's largest market. The world's largest market is China. Whether it's cars, mobile phones, or other consumer goods, the sales volume in the Chinese market far exceeds that in the United States.

The analysis in this video is wrong. It’s not that tariffs don’t scare China. They scare the hell out of Chinese businesses that rely on exports to the U.S., the world’s largest consumer market. It’s just that Xi doesn’t seem to care much. You know why?

@StevenWMosher The real threat to the world is the United States.

"We" in this case being Jamie Dimon & his Wall Street buddies, who became business partners of the CCP. They jointly exploited the cheap labor of the hardworking Chinese people without regard for either their working conditions, or the layoffs and plant closures at home in the U.S. It was obvious that China wasn't going our way a quarter century ago, with the crackdown on the Falungong, the persecution of minorities, Christians, and others. Wall Street ignored all this in pursuit of dirty deals with Beijing. Congress was bought off by its lobbyists. And the U.S. military was distracted from the Global Threat posed by China by terrorism. Terrorism encouraged by China, in many cases.

@mikepompeo It is the United States and Israel, not China, that are massacring Muslims every day in this world.

An important reminder that the CCP's genocide of the Uyghurs continues. We cannot be under any illusions about what the regime is Beijing truly is. foreignpolicy.com/2026/04/16/chi…

@Unveiled_ChinaX Isn't that great? Both China and Japan are very happy; it's a classic win-win situation.

China tried to punish Japan by telling its citizens to stop visiting. The data just exposed how badly that backfired. This is Japan's official tourism spending data for Q1 2026. China's tourism revenue collapsed 50.4% after Beijing actively discouraged its citizens from visiting Japan, following Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi's remarks defending Taiwan. Chinese arrivals cratered 60.7% in January alone and 55.9% in March. Here's what Beijing didn't count on. Taiwan, a self-governing island of 23 million people that the CCP claims as its own territory, brought in more tourism revenue to Japan than all of mainland China's 1.4 billion people. Taiwan posted +22.5% growth. Vietnam surged 71.3%. Germany jumped 59.6%. Spain up 64%. Japan still set February 2026 tourism records while China's boycott was in full effect. Japan's own Transport Minister said the drop in Chinese visitors was "not something to worry about." He was right. Beijing has used tourism as economic coercion before, against South Korea in 2017, against Japan in 2012. Every time, the targeted country adapts. Every time, Beijing overestimates its own leverage. China weaponized its tourists. Japan replaced them before Beijing finished the threat. #Japan #China #CCP #Tourism #Taiwan #Geopolitics #JapanTravel #BoycottBackfire #Asia #EconomicCoercion

@pirooooon3 中国は数十年前、他国で数千万人の人々を虐殺したわけでも、数百万人の慰安婦を強制的に連行したわけでもない。日本は敗戦国であり、近隣諸国を侵略するために数え切れないほどの戦争を起こし、最終的に二発の原爆投下を受けた。日本自身、自己認識が欠如している。

自衛艦が台湾海峡通過　日本側に強く抗議　中国軍 お前らは2025年10月に 津軽海峡を通過しとるやんけ！ 中国が日本に抗議する 権利はありますか？ ①全くない ②開いた口が塞がらない ③その他 #日本を守る

@Unveiled_ChinaX 現実には、ホンダは世界的に衰退しており、日本ブランドの生産台数は中国ブランドの生産台数に追い抜かれてしまった。

Honda just announced it's closing two factories in China. Most people shrugged. They shouldn't have. Honda sold 1.627 million cars in China in 2020. By 2025 that number had collapsed to 645,000, five straight years of decline, and now the factories in Guangzhou and Wuhan are shutting down. But Honda is not the story. Honda is just the latest chapter. Here's the actual story, told in numbers. In 2021, foreign direct investment(FDI) into China hit an all-time record of $344 billion. By 2023 it had crashed to $33 billion, an 80% collapse in two years. By 2024 net inbound FDI was just $4.5 billion, the lowest figure since 1991. And in the same year, China recorded a net FDI outflow of $168 billion, the single largest capital flight in data going back to 1990. Foreign investors pulled money out. Chinese investors sent $173 billion abroad. Both groups were voting with their wallets at the same time, in the same direction, away from China. This didn't happen overnight. It started with the trade war in 2018 and compounded with every year that followed. Here's who has already left or is in the process of leaving, across every sector. Automotive: Mitsubishi Motors fully exited in 2023 after sales collapsed from 179,000 units in 2018 to just 33,000 in 2022. Honda is now closing two plants. Multiple other automakers are scaling back production capacity. Technology: IBM shut its entire China R&D division in August 2024, affecting over 1,000 employees. Yahoo pulled out in 2021. LinkedIn shut down its social platform in China in 2021. Amazon closed its China Marketplace in 2019 and its Kindle Store in 2023. Blizzard Entertainment, the gaming giant behind World of Warcraft, exited in January 2023. Samsung closed its last Chinese smartphone factory in 2019, its last TV factory in 2020, and its last PC plant in 2022. Consumer and retail: Airbnb suspended all China operations in 2022. Ito-Yokado, Japan's major retail chain, has withdrawn. Nike has been shifting supply chains to Southeast Asia and Africa. Steve Madden moved production to Cambodia and Brazil. Superdry exited the Chinese market entirely. Electronics and manufacturing: Apple has been aggressively diversifying to India and Vietnam, with JP Morgan projecting China's share of Apple production dropping from 95% to under 75%. Google moved Pixel phone production to Vietnam and Thailand. Dell shifted away from Chinese-made chips. GoPro moved US-bound production to Mexico. Panasonic and Sony have both significantly reduced their China footprint. Professional services: Dentons, one of the world's largest law firms, formally split from its Chinese branch. Gallup shut down its China operations. Japanese companies alone have seen withdrawal volumes accelerate every year since 2021, with exits now consistently outpacing new investment. The phrase "world's factory" was built over 40 years. The unwinding is happening faster than almost anyone predicted. And Beijing's response, raids on foreign firms, strict data laws, opaque regulations, and a legal environment where companies cannot trust the rules won't change overnight, has done nothing to slow it. The capital doesn't lie. When $168 billion walks out the door in a single year, that's not a blip. That's a verdict. #China #FDI #CCP #Economy #Manufacturing #SupplyChain #Decoupling #GlobalTrade #Honda #Geopolitics

@toshio_tamogami 実際には、衰退しているのは中国そのものではなく、ホンダ、パナソニック、ソニーといった企業です。ホンダ、ソニー、パナソニック、日産の業績を見れば、すでに大きな損失を被り始めていることがわかります。

中国経済の崩壊は日本のマスコミではあまり出てこないが酷い状況のようだ。2020年以降の5年で外資は90％撤退、日本もソニー、パナソニック、イトーヨーカ堂など多くの企業がすでに撤退しているが、今度は日本第2位の自動車メーカー、本田技研工業が広州と武漢の2つのガソリン車工場を閉鎖する。本田は2020年に中国販売台数が162万7千台の過去最高を記録して以降、5年連続で減少が続いており、2025年は64万5千台に落ち込んだ。世界の工場と言われた中国の時代は終わった。

@Terenceshen China has far more engineers than the United States, and imposing technology blockades on China will only encourage China to develop independently. China currently still purchases chips from the United States because chip technology development takes time.

Jensen Huang seems unwilling to admit that his primary goal is profit, even if it ends up strengthening a strategic rival. He contradicts himself by claiming that providing China with more advanced chips somehow benefits the U.S., which doesn’t make sense. His logic is like arguing that giving the Soviet Union better tools to build more advanced weapons, potentially increasing its ability to threaten the United States, would somehow strengthen U.S. leadership in defence. Anyone with basic common sense can see that this argument doesn’t stand. He’s also on shaky ground when he claims that China will develop its own chips anyway. The evidence suggests otherwise: export controls have pushed China to rely on smuggling and other workarounds to obtain advanced U.S. chips, precisely because it still cannot produce them at the same level and remains dependent on them. When pressed by the host, he appeared to contradict himself again: at one point acknowledging that “they are an adversary,” and later questioning the very idea of treating China as one, even suggesting that the U.S. should avoid “turning them into an enemy.” But in doing so, he seems to ignore the long-standing strategic rivalry between Communist China and the United States dating back to 1949. In any case, export controls remain essential to preserving the U.S. technological edge.

@CollinSLKoh Japan even considers itself a victim of World War II. If Hitler said he was a victim, would you agree?

@CollinSLKoh Historically, China has never massacred tens of millions of people from other countries. Japan, on the other hand, not only committed such acts but also conscripted millions of comfort women, a fact Japan still refuses to acknowledge.

Beijing is guilty of even more dangerous overconfidence considering the scale of the PLA Navy buildup that dwarfs that of its Japanese counterpart. 🙃

@CollinSLKoh China's territory is 26 times that of Japan, and its population is 12 times that of Japan. It's only natural that China's military spending is higher than Japan's. In reality, China's military spending is only 6 times higher than Japan's.

@ObsDelphi Then you should defend China even more, because China holds a similar position to TSMC in many industries. And TSMC's technology is six months ahead of Samsung and Intel.

🇹🇼Taïwan vient de dépasser le Royaume-Uni en valeur boursière totale. Taipei a atteint près de 4100 milliards de dollars et cela même alors que l'économie taïwanaise est bien plus petite que celle des Britanniques. Autrement dit, les investisseurs du monde entier misent massivement sur l’avenir de Taïwan, en particulier dans les technologies de pointe. Cette performance repose largement sur un acteur clé : TSMC, le géant des semi-conducteurs. L’entreprise fabrique à elle seule l’immense majorité des puces les plus avancées utilisées dans l’intelligence artificielle. Concrètement, sans Taïwan, une grande partie des technologies qui structurent le XXIe siècle, comme l’IA, les data centers ou les smartphones de nouvelle génération, ne pourraient tout simplement pas fonctionner. J'ai prévu de vous en parler dans un thread prochainement d'ailleurs. TSMC enchaîne donc les records de croissance, portée par une demande mondiale en explosion. Les États-Unis, notamment, investissent massivement dans les infrastructures numériques, ce qui renforce encore la dépendance à l’égard des capacités industrielles taïwanaises. Défendre Taïwan, pour Washington mais aussi pour nous, c’est défendre un maillon central de l’économie mondiale et de l’innovation technologique 👏🇹🇼 #Partenariat

@TayorUyghur Take fentanyl for example. Don't you Americans know the term "drug prohibition"? China cracks down on drug traffickers very severely, with the maximum penalty being the death penalty. China's drug prohibition principle is zero tolerance for drugs. This is the correct approach

I don’t believe the Chinese Communist Party or Xi Jinping has been a friend to the United States or the American people. Expressions of admiration for China’s leadership can be painful for many Americans—especially those affected by issues like fentanyl trafficking, economic displacement, intellectual property theft, and broader concerns about human rights and security. My hope is that the United States continues to act with clarity, guided by its principles, national interests, and a sense of dignity and human rights.
