@VilonMonie @Eng_china5 Only the US Navy guaranteed world shipping (Post WWII). Unless $China wants to step up to the plate, it is going to get a lot more expensive to ship commodities.

"According to the Rhodium Group, more than 1/2 of Chinese cities have trouble servicing debt, & many face interest payments that take up more than a 1/3rd of annual revenues, constraining their ability to finance social safety net obligations..."
Zineb Riboua@zriboua
China now faces a stagnant economy, with GDP per capita less than the global average and less than 20 percent of the US level. As throughout China’s long history, any semblance of social welfare rests in the hands of local governments. But high debt levels and diminishing income from land sales and taxes after the bursting of the real estate bubble imperil their finances. Local governments rely on transfers from Beijing to meet their budgets, and local authorities are responsible for more than 90 percent of the costs of social services while receiving only about half of the country’s tax revenues. According to the Rhodium Group, more than half of Chinese cities have trouble servicing their debt, and many face interest payments that take up more than a third of annual revenues. This severely constrains their ability to finance existing social safety net obligations, let alone improve the system. hudson.org/economics/how-…

$550B Japan trade deal.
And look what Japan is actually buying.
Not cars or electronics.
Energy infrastructure.
🇯🇵 Japan's 6 projects in 6 months:
☢️ $40B Small Modular Nuclear Reactors (Tennessee + Alabama)
⚡ $33B 9.2 GW natural gas power plant (Ohio)
🔥 $17B Natural gas power hub (SW Pennsylvania)
⚡ $16B Natural gas power hub (East Texas)
Japan 80% Hormuz dependent is investing $106B+ into American energy infrastructure.
This is insurance.
🇯🇵 Japan holds $1.2T in US Treasuries
🇯🇵 Japan gets 80% of its oil through a blockaded strait
🇯🇵 Japan is now funding American power plants
The country most exposed to Hormuz is betting its future on American energy.

@KarinArcus_ok Bilateral, not global: This applies specifically to Russia-China trade, not overall international transactions. China continues significant dollar-denominated trade with the rest of the world (the yuan's global share in payments remains ~4–6%, far behind the dollar's ~47–50%).

🇷🇺🇨🇳 | Rusia y China han formalizado la ruptura definitiva con el sistema financiero del dólar, consolidando un ecosistema de pagos donde el 100% de sus transacciones bilaterales se ejecutan ahora en rublos y yuanes.
Este giro estratégico, impulsado por la integración de los sistemas CIPS y SPFS, representa el desafío más contundente a la hegemonía del billete verde en décadas. Al eliminar el riesgo de bloqueos por parte de Washington, ambas potencias han blindado sus sectores de energía y alta tecnología, creando una zona de libre comercio monetario que opera totalmente fuera del alcance de la infraestructura financiera occidental.
Este proceso de desdolarización no es un mero gesto simbólico; ha transformado la arquitectura del capital global al obligar a los mercados de materias primas a recalibrar sus precios en monedas alternativas. Aunque la transición ha generado una dependencia crítica hacia la liquidez de Beijing y ha disparado la vigilancia del Tesoro de EE. UU. mediante sanciones secundarias, el éxito de este "circuito cerrado" está incentivando a otras naciones de los BRICS a seguir el mismo camino. Estamos ante el nacimiento de un sistema financiero bipolar que marca el fin de la era del patrón dólar como único lenguaje universal del comercio.

@JavierBlas @EIAgov The United States is by far the world's largest crude oil producer, with output roughly three times that of China.

@afshinrattansi It's always idiots from outside Africa trying g to unify 3000 tribes into a monolith 🤡
Your imperialistic mindset won't work.
It's been tried for centuries and still failing.
There are numerous autonomous regions.

@ww3mediaa Perhaps the Spanish Prime Minister should look closer to home when talking about a "hypocritical and pathetic state".

▪️Ukrayna söz konusu olduğunda Almanya ahlaki bir bekçi gibi davranıyor, ancak Filistin söz konusu olduğunda üç maymunu oynuyor. Almanya ikiyüzlü ve acınası bir devlettir.

UN whistleblower says that Michelle Bachelet, one of the top candidates running to be the UN's next Secretary-General, is guilty of having handed names of dissidents over to China.
Emma Reilly@EmmaReillyTweet
@EUatUN @EUAmbUN @HeddaSamson @UN_PGA @EU_UNGeneva Michelle Bachelet has no principles. The UN head of ethics explicitly told her and @antonioguterres they were breaking the rules by refusing to investigate retaliation and - much more seriously - the UN policy of handing names to China. She fired me and kept handing China names.

‼️🇺🇸🇰🇷🇯🇵 US allies are becoming global weapons powerhouses
.
According to Bloomberg, countries like South Korea and Japan are rapidly transforming into major arms exporters as global tensions rise.
South Korea is now supplying tanks, howitzers, aircraft, and rocket systems to allies like Poland, which sees it as a key security partner against Russia.
This marks a shift where U.S. allies are no longer just defense buyers, but all star weapons sellers shaping global security markets.
The global arms race is increasingly driven by new non Western suppliers.

🇨🇳🇵🇭 China to Philippines: want our fuel? stop drilling with the U.S. The Philippines asked Beijing for emergency fuel relief days before hosting joint drills with over 17,000 U.S. and allied troops near Taiwan. China's state media response: how can you ask your neighbors for help while acting against their interests? It's the same playbook Beijing used with critical minerals against Japan, using supply as leverage when countries step out of line. Source: Reuters

@hezehua5 Policies like the Great Leap devastated agriculture. Industrial output grew on paper in some periods but at huge inefficiency and human cost. China remained very poor in 1976—far behind peers like South Korea or Taiwan, which started similarly but pursued different paths.

他接手这个国家时，这个国家有5.4亿人，人均寿命35岁，文盲率达到80%。他离开时，这个国家有9.3亿人，人均寿命65岁，文盲率为20%。
他接手这个国家时，这个国家娼妓遍地，赌馆林立，鸦片横行，人民萎靡不振，官场腐败不堪。他离开时，这个国家早已消灭了黄赌毒，人民昂扬奋进，官场风清气正，产生了雷锋精神、焦裕禄精神、铁人精神，创造了超越母亲的伟大文明。
他接手这个国家时，这个国家一穷二白，经济处于崩溃的边缘，广大人民挣扎在温饱线上。他离开时，留下了5000亿斤粮食、500万吨棉花，两万多公里的铁路，100多万公里的公路，修建了八万多座水库，建立起了比较完备的工业体系。
他接手这个国家时，这个国家已经被列强欺凌了100多年，外国大兵可以公然驻扎。当他离开时，这个国家已经是联合国五大常任理事国之一，战场上把世界第一强国美国打到谈判桌前，国土上已经没有一个外国士兵。
他接手这个国家时，这个国家连一辆汽车，一台拖拉机也不能生产。当他离开时，这个国家已经拥有了两弹一星、核潜艇，和一大批大国重器。他是敢于给美国人划定红线的领袖，越战时，他警告美军不得越过北纬17度线，美军最终不敢逾越雷池一步。他是世界历史上第一个喊出“人民万岁”的领袖，他的心里装的只有人民，他的一生都在为人民服务。他逝世后，所有遗产全部上交国家，没有给子女留下任何物质遗产。＃致敬先辈＃致敬

The blockade is a success. It's crimping Iran's oil revenues materially while barely pushing up oil prices. There's an big lesson here. Had we done this to Russia, it wouldn't still be causing mayhem in Ukraine. Lots of lessons to learn for the future...
