"10 yrs ago China knew it was screwed by US dominance in semiconductors so they did something about it. They allocated 100s of billions USD to build homegrown semiconductor sectors XX yrs ago US knew it was screwed by China's dominance of rare earths. They did nothing about it They're are now spending $XXX bil to buy dirt but seem not to realize that rare earth is not that rare as I wrote in my book The Split. America isn't doing much to catch up in refining rare earth which is the hard part Can America catch up Yes. But not quickly And in meantime China can live without America's"

"Scotty "500% tariff" Bessent is a liability to President Trump. He has misread China's strength in the trade war & personally attacked Chinese officials like Li Chenggang which will make it impossible for trade negotiations to go forward The Chinese don't trust Scotty or think he has any credibility on managing an economy A 2x failed hedge fund manager should not be Treasury Secretary Does he still work for Soros"

"I met with the CEO of a Chinese manufacturing company. He told me he had just visited Europe to try to buy out competitors He said "Their factories were like sheds." This is why Chinese brands will win - they have the manufacturing efficiency & scale through robotics to undercut prices of bloated European companies but make similar if not better quality products If I was Germany's leader I'd have an ulcer. Pretty much anything gErmany can do the Chinese can do better at 1/3 the price"
