Xi Jinping's visit to Saudi Arabia is confirmed for Dec 7. While the US is nervous & angry, Middle East will continue to shift towards China/Asia for many reasons.

Even the ads in #FIFAWorldCup at Qatar reveal the difference between USA and China: Budweiser v. Hisense!
Hisense is the world's #2 household appliance company and makes TV, refrigerators, washing machines etc., which are all quite hi-tech now. Other popular Chinese ad: Vivo (smartphones)

Meanwhile, America has ads for beer and junk food (Coca Cola and McDonald's) in Qatar.
China has real skills and lots of money that it invests in pragmatic ways.

Chinese companies build stadiums, solar farms, 5G networks, entire cities and so on.

Arab countries also receive a lot of FDI from China.

#SaudiArabia #Kuwait #UAE #Qatar
Of course, China is the world’s #1 importer of oil and natural gas, making it the Middle East’s best customer.

In the future, Petro-Yuan will be a reality — when OPEC and others will sell oil for Chinese Yuan.

That will also be bad news for the dollar and US hegemony.
In 2016, Xi Jinping visited the Middle East for the first time. And Saudi Prince Salman (MBS) was at the airport to welcome Xi.

Both have long-term and strategic visions -- #BRI is key but not the only item.
Xi Jinping’s visit will also include the first China-Arab Summit. This will be a momentous event since the Chinese gov must have a really big vision and plan.

Not like the Trump-Arab Summit five years ago! 😃

YouTube deleted a video of @AndyBxxx. Why?

It debunked US propaganda re: Xinjiang.

You can criticize what the US Empire does, but they don’t care much.

But if you debunk their lies, especially their atrocity propaganda, they get really rattled! 😆

There’s a science to this. Image
US has great soft power, so it doesn’t care if you say things like the US is a warmonger.

Even Palestinians & Lebanese will line up in front of US embassies tomorrow if they are given green cards.

But one of the secrets of US’ image is its demonization of other countries.
US can stay #1 in the global polls, as long as there are no alternatives.

This is similar to how elections work in the US. Candidates spend far more $$$ attacking the opponents than describing their own solutions.

Negative campaign is very crucial.

Three scores and a decade ago today — Oct 7, 1952 — a boy named Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin was born in Leningrad, Russia.

He went on to save his country from evil globalists.

Here’s my article on how Putin made Russia great again:

Leaked documents show how the US went against the interests of India and carried out a regime change in Bangladesh.

“It is necessary to COUNTERBALANCE interference from regional powers (India).”

What kind of a friend is America? 🙄

#NED #IRI Image
IRI is a subsidiary of NED. They specialize in color revolutions — like they did in Ukraine in 2014 and Sri Lanka in 2022.

In Bangladesh, they even funded & promoted rappers to foment anti-government protests.

Like this guy Towfique Ahmed: Image
They acknowledged that Prime Minister Hasina was very popular, while the opposition party, BNP, is dysfunctional.

Thus, there was no spreading “democracy.”

It was simply a regime change so that the U.S. can have military bases in Bangladesh and use it as a weapon against China and possibly India.Image

Can #China's #GDP grow 8% this year? 😱

Here's why that's possible!

Say, the #economy grows 5% in yuan terms.

And then the yuan appreciates 3% against the dollar (already happened).

Thus, when you look at the nominal GDP in dollar terms, the GDP growth will actually be 8%.

This happened from 2017 to 2018, when yuan became strong, and China's GDP jumped a whopping $1.6 trillion!Image
Why is it a likely scenario?

Because the Federal Reserve Bank has cut the rates by 0.5% points and is likely to do more cuts this year.

This reduces the value of US dollar.

So, if PBOC (China's central bank) doesn't cut the rates, then yuan will end the year stronger.
Here's the math.
Let's say China's GDP for this year is ¥130 trillion.

* If ¥7.27 = $1, then China's GDP = $17.9 trillion

* If yuan becomes stronger and ¥7 = $1, then the GDP will be $18.6 trillion!

* So, that's an extra growth of $0.7 trillion or 4% (0.7/17.9)

FREE GDP!🤣

Developing nations are clueless puppets - a short 🧵 on how US/UK manipulated Iran

🔹In 1978, Margaret Thatcher (not yet the PM) visited Iran and said Shah was one of the “greatest statesmen.”

🔹UK was also training SAVAK, Shah’s brutal secret police, on torture, counter-insurgence tactics etc. and sold all sorts of weapons to Iran.Image
🔹But… within a couple of months, MI6 concluded that the Shah was weak and decided to support the opposition! 💥

🔹So, the radio station “BBC Persian” started supporting Khomeini. It became known as “Ayatollah BBC”!

This was huge, since the Shah had shut down virtually all radio/TV stations.

In Jan 1979, the Shah fled the country and Khomeini returned to Iran to become the new leader.

Soon,Image
But there’s more!!

🔹Within a few months after Khomeini’s return to Iran, US installed its puppet in Iraq.

Hello Saddam Hussein, America’s new BFF!

🔹With a lot of help from US & UK, Saddam started a war against Iran the following year (1980)!

It’s game over for USA!

China now has its own DUV lithography machines; and a patent has been filed for EUV.

Right now, there’s only ONE company that can make EUV — Dutch firm ASML.

Soon, China will make every chip that the US can.

Nvidia, Apple, Qualcomm… all their chip advantages will vanish. Also with their share prices!Image
Economic and geopolitical shocker.

America’s China containment policy failed miserably.

In 2019, Trump prevented ASML from selling an EUV machine to China.

Since then, all the Chinese semiconductor chip firms have been under US sanctions.
Now, China will do to chips what it did to smartphones and EV.

It’s good for the world, but terrible news for the US.
