Trump and his Billionaire backers seem to have miscalculated on every aspect of their tariff, economic war against China, and the miscalculation seems to have put the final nail in the coffin of the Western economies.
Together neighbours China and Russia as well as North Korea have a gigantic manufacturing capacity
They have vast amounts of reliable and inexpensive energy in the form also of gas through a new pipeline.
They have limitless comodities and natural resources.
They have already integrated economic and financial area and trade in their currencies.
They have enormous numbers of people (1.4 billion in China alone) to serve as a workforce.
They have millions of STEM graduates developping new tech, also military tech.
They have huge armies with North Korean and Russian army now working together.
They have limitless money to print to configure their economy using single entry book keeping as discussed by me since 2010.
Can they outlast the US in a trade war? They cannot only outlast the US. They can flourish, prosper, come out stronger, end up dominating the globe in every sphere.
They are also on the same information page thanks to George Soros being caught in 2015 trying to silence a reporter for revealing the secret to China s super success, namely single entry book keeping, information which is totally censored by the tiny private banksters in the West to enhance their fortunes. And using crimes.
This missing information is why Western analysts seem to be unable to figure out why China and Russia keep thriving while the USA and West keeps declining.
Putin and Xi have used the celebration of 80 years after the victory over Nazi Germany to sign more deals on Chinese technology transfers, gas pipelines and trade as they prepare for the European elite s attempt to turn Europe into a military fortress to attack Russia and China together with China.
Can China, Russia and the BRICS absorb most of China s expoerts which have been destined up to recently for the USA until Trump slapped tariffs on them, although he has rolled back most of the critical ones on electronics, laptops and smart phones.
Certainly.
No question.
It may take a little time. It may take different product mix may be needed. New factories, new skills, new investments. But the Chinese government has unveiled more than a trillion in stimulus, cash American businesses cannot dream of.
They have to go to private banks to get more loans, load themselves up with more debt, pay more interest.
In the long term, the effect of Trump s economic warfare against China will be the same as during his first presidency. It will strengthen China and now Russia.
Economics is also the basis for military strength.
As for boots on the ground and cynical claims that NATO can bleed Russia to death, North Korea has plenty of soldiers. They are already fighting in the Ukraine.
They face a fragmented, disintegrating, depopulated West which is led by a discredited elite who have sucked the last cent out by private central banks and debt.
This elite simply no longer have the power politically, economically, militarily to take on Russia and China or the BRICS
They simply cannot accept they can no longer dominate the world by force.
They keep on project their own IQs of 30 on the world.
The latest attack on Russia and China is set to backfire spectacularly. They will come out much stronger. Theywill become the powers who dominate the next century.
They will be in a poisition ultimately to buy up the impoverished west as deindustrialization continues and the dollar and euro and UKP become increasingly worthless.
The weakness of the US economy is why investors are fleeing treasuries and Jerome Powell cannot lower interest rates as Trump would like. Powell has to keep investors buying US debt despite an economy which is now mere hype.
When Tesla shares rise after its sales collapse by two thirds and there is no recovery in sight, we are talking a bubble economy, precariously close to bursting.
The plan to turn Europe into Nazi Germany 2.0 fantastical an ddelusional but the Russians and Chinese as well as the Western public in 2025 know their elite are delusional.
Germany, UK and the USA are now industrial shadows compared to 100 years ago when they had the huge industries, colonies, technologies to dominate the world.
They are drowning in debt, in tens of trillions of debt, in record debt with no means to pay the rising iterest.
Europe and the UK are years if not decades behind Russia and China and the USA is already visibly lagging in technology as the defeat of the US in their proxy war in the Ukraine has shown.
The Western public have endured covid lockdowns, toxic jabs, the defeat of NATO in a proxy war, propaganda and now the misguided trade war by Trump and Rubio and any conscripts are far more likely to turn their weapons on their own WEF elite than on the Russians or Chinese.
They are very mistrustful of all governments, politicians, media and will not be motivated to endure a Hitler 2.0 (Alice Wiedel?), a Gestapo 2.0 and WW3.
It is a new era.
Everything is new.
Only the rigidness of the elite is not new.
Rigidness is why Schwab was forced out finally.

Diesmal, zum 80. Jahrestag des Sieges über Nazideutschland, sitzt ein ganz besonderer Ehrengast auf der Tribüne: der chinesische Staatspräsident Xi Jinping. Für Russlands Präsidenten Wladimir Putin ist der Staatsbesuch aus China ein großer Erfolg. Innenpolitisch kann er zeigen: Russland ist in der Welt nicht isoliert, hat mächtige Freunde und Verbündete.
Russland braucht China wirtschaftlich, um den Sanktionen des Westens zu trotzen. Von dort kommen viele Konsumgüter ins Land. Und wohl auch Bauteile für die Rüstungsindustrie, was China nach wie vor dementiert. Vier Tage ist Xi Jinping in Moskau. Natürlich geht es nicht nur um die Feierlichkeiten auf dem Roten Platz. "Der Vorsitzende der Volksrepublik China wird unser Hauptgast sein, und wir werden die Gelegenheit haben, über den aktuellen Stand der bilateralen Beziehungen zu sprechen", sagt Putin.
...
Mehrere Verträge auf Regierungsebene sollen unterzeichnet werden. Es soll auch um den Bau einer lange geplanten zweiten Gaspipeline nach China gehen. Russland setzt auf seine strategische Partnerschaft mit China. Auf Import und Export. Im vergangenen Jahr stieg das bilaterale Handelsvolumen offiziellen Angaben zufolge auf 216 Milliarden Euro. Am Donnerstag stehen neben wirtschaftlichen auch politische Themen auf der Agenda: die Wiederaufnahme der Gespräche mit den USA unter Trump ebenso wie der Krieg in der Ukraine. Hier gibt sich China neutral und bot sich in der Vergangenheit auch als Vermittler an.
"Während der Gespräche werden die wichtigsten Fragen der weiteren Entwicklung der Beziehungen der umfassenden Partnerschaft und der strategischen Interaktion sowie aktuelle Fragen der internationalen und regionalen Agenda erörtert", heißt es in einer Erklärung des Kreml. Laut Präsidentenberater Juri Uschakow werden Putin und Xi bei einer Tasse Tee unter vier Augen "die heikelsten und sensibelsten Themen" erörtern.
..
Harsche Kritik dagegen übt sie an Europa und geizt nicht mit Vergleichen: "Die Europäische Union, die mit braunen Flecken übersät ist, rüstet unter dem Vorwand einer – wie sie es formuliert – 'Bedrohung aus dem Osten', wie einst das Dritte Reich, auf und bereitet sich auf einen Krieg vor. Sie verheimlicht dies nicht, sie bezeichnet unser Land als Feind. Sie hat offensichtlich nicht aus der Geschichte gelernt."
In ann opinion piece published in the state-owned journal Beijing Daily...argues that the trade war is an American attempt to strangle China’s economic growth and that it is necessary to perceive the current trade tensions as a long-term development.
https://theconversation.com/why-trump-fails-to-understand-chinas-trade-war-tactics-and-what-his-negotiators-should-be-reading-256126
By invoking On Protracted War, it would appear that Beijing perceives its economic struggles with the US as a conflict without a swift resolution, something that may come as a shock to Donald Trump who is clearly signalling that he now wants a deal.
This long view approach has also been reflected in how Beijing has been preparing for a second Trump trade war ever since its experiences in the first Trump presidency.
In contrast to China, the US administration appears to have banked on the trade war being a comparatively brief affair that should be ended by a quick and decisive knock-out blow against Beijing. And a public relations coup for Trump. This explains the showmanship behind the “liberation day” announcements, and the speed at which Washington deployed its key moves.
But by preparing its citizens for a protracted trade war, it would appear that China’s strategy, similarly to Mao’s, is to slow down the process and grind out the best deal it can over time.
Beijing believes that Chinese consumers are more capable of “eating bitterness” (coping with hardship) than Americans. So US diplomats would be well advised to dip into On Protracted War to understand more of China’s president Xi Jinping’s intentions.
...
It’s becoming clear that the Trump administration has severely miscalculated by assuming that Beijing would quickly capitulate, showing a lack of understanding of Chinese culture and political history. The expected instant deal has failed to materialise, and US stores are now warning that shelves may soon be empty of many goods.
The trade war has become a war of attrition, and whatever moves Xi makes now are likely to be only his first in what he sees as a very long game, in the great Maoist tradition.
Putin told Xi he welcomed the transfer of Chinese technology to Russia, adding that Russia had become the largest importer of Chinese cars.

Xi says China, Russia to ensure stable, unimpeded industrial, supply chains
Xinhua | Updated: 2025-05-08 18:24
MOSCOW -- Chinese President Xi Jinping said here Thursday that China stands ready to work with Russia to safeguard the global multilateral trading system and keep the industrial and supply chains stable and unimpeded.
While holding talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin during his state visit to Russia, Xi also said that China has for years been a main contributor to and stabilizer of global economic growth.

Russian President Vladimir Putin and his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping are expected to finalize a series of agreements in the energy and automotive sectors on Thursday, while also expanding on existing deals. The leaders are holding talks at the Kremlin, where Xi is visiting as part of his trip to attend the Victory Day parade.
Talks are also underway on a new energy agreement, with the proposed Power of Siberia 2 gas pipeline, set to run from Yamal and Western Siberia to China, reportedly high on the agenda, as well as a major update on investment agreements between Russia and China, as announced by Putin.
The Russian head of state also noted that his country has become the world's leading importer of Chinese automobiles, adding that Moscow welcomes the transfer of Chinese industrial expertise and local production.

Xi's strategy is clear: fortify domestic growth to counter external pressures. By prioritising sectors like semiconductors and green energy, Beijing hopes to reduce reliance on US markets. Yet, analysts warn that with 1.4 billion consumers facing higher import costs, consumer confidence could waver, as reported by Bloomberg.
...
The stakes are massive. The US imported £320 billion ($420 billion) in Chinese goods in 2024, and a prolonged standoff could disrupt global supply chains. A Discovery Alert analysis on 6 May 2025 notes that smaller economies, like Australia and South Korea, are already feeling the ripple effects, with export declines of 8–12%.
For China, protecting its £13.6 trillion ($18 trillion) economy is non-negotiable, especially with unemployment risks looming.
...
As Xi Jinping braces for trade talks, his bold economic moves show China's resolve to stand firm. The £1.6 trillion ($2.1 trillion) stimulus and rate cuts are a lifeline for businesses, but they can't fully offset the tariff war's toll.
