It's rumored that the US sanctions against Ant Group, Alibaba, and TenCent were derailed by a single phone call from Mike Evans (Alibaba president and Goldman Sachs alum) to a senior US Govt official. Ant Group could have agreed to share transaction data and account details 1/4
with US intelligence. Maybe xi decided to go with China's own digital currency? It's possible xi wanted to stop Jack Ma's bombastic public comments about the Chinese banks? Could this be a Bo Xilai moment for Mr. Ma? It wasn't long ago when Dalian Wanda, HNA, and Anbang 2/4
were high-flying leaders in their industries. All investors in Chinese stocks need to know is that the CCP decides who wins and who loses...who goes to jail and who gets pushed off 2-ft walls in France. If anyone actually read through the Ant listing prospectus, 3/4
it was yet another Chinese joke on global investors. #AntGroupIPO #AntGroup @stevenmnuchin1 @AmbCuiTiankai @SecretaryRoss @SecPompeo #CCPChina #China #HK #HKMA

Ant Group and Ten Cent are Clear and Present Dangers to US National Security that now threaten us more than any other issue. The Chinese Communist Party is pushing the sole use of its RMB digital payment system in 62% of the world's population. #China #ClearandPresentDanger 1/7
For example, a senior US Government official recently traveled to Ethiopia. When he ordered food at the airport, the checkout person refused his credit card and informed him that the only way to consummate the purchase was with Alipay or WeChat Pay. China is coercing belt 2/7
and road countries to move to a digital RMB system. Not out of trust of course but because they are forced to do so. This particular clerk wouldn't accept US dollars in cash. Ant Group charges .6% of ALL REVENUES in their network (even if it's a debit transaction). 3/7

Ant Group and Alibaba are partial owners and customers of Megvii Technology (旷视), a Chinese artificial intelligence company based in Beijing. Megvii was blacklisted by the US Commerce department in October, 2019 for its uses by the Chinese government genocide in Xinjiang.
Ant's draft prospectus does discuss the "possibility that its business may be affected by enhanced restrictions against China and other Chinese technology companies, including us and Alibaba in 'dual use' commercial technologies and applications that are deployed for...
surveillance or military purposes..." China's military-civil fusion program is exactly what US authorities have been focused on when sanctioning malevolent Chinese companies.

Chinese consulates in New York, Illinois, Texas, and two in California, are bound by the diplomatic responsibilities and rights of the Vienna Convention, and are very politically active at the state level, as is the embassy in Washington, D.C.
China has violated its Vienna Convention responsibilities and therefore we are terminating their rights to diplomatic immunity in Houston. China's other consulates and the embassy in DC should prepare for additional action by the USA. @AmbCuiTiankai #china #再见
Did anyone actually read through Pompeo's speech to the NGA?! state.gov/u-s-states-and…

China’s bank runs have begun. At precisely the time when Chinese banks need any and all cash flow to pay for severe loan losses, the State Council demands 1.5 trillion rmb (75% of 2019 profits!) from banks to “help the economy”.
This enormous grabbing of what some are supposed to be independent publicly traded companies in China is exactly what any fiduciary should have legal problems with in the future. How does one invest in a bank stock where the regime can take profits away “for the good of China”?!
These bank runs are happening for logical reasons: 1. Many rural Chinese banks are insolvent and begging Beijing for money, 2. Chinese regulator is warning of sharp rise in bad loans and capital shortages, 3. Regulator is limiting withdrawals of “large amounts” adding panic

🇨🇳 SPY ALERT 🇨🇳 @mikepillsbury gave an interview on Fox saying the Chinese are “not totally wrong” about US agitation in Hong Kong behind the protests, because of the large consulate and NED being there to promote the HK Policy Act and democratic change. #China
His remarks were immediately rebroadcasted by Russian and Chinese state TV as a “you see, here is an important figure who advises Trump that says the US is behind the riots in HK”. #treason
Here’s the link to Russian TV..Pillsbury at the end.

Another potential $10 billion Chinese Fraud in Chinese company listed on US exchange in GSX Techedu (GSX). Citron research posts "smoking gun" recording today evidencing 40%+ customers fabricated. When will the SEC require US audits for foreign companies raising money in the US?
"GSX’s auditor, Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu, was the same auditor that was used in Citronexposed frauds Longtop and China Media Express. The Deloitte partner that has been in charge
of GSX’s audit is Li Li Shan who has a questionable track record."
"There are only three companies including GSX that Li Li Shan has been listed as the engagement
partner for. The other two companies are Chinese education companies, RYB Education
(NYSE: RYB) and Puxin (NYSE: NEW), which are down 70% to 85% since their IPOs."
