In China, they have had driverless cars, taxis, trains, and buses for several years now: You can pay for items in stores with a wave of your hand: ......... China is corrupt and backwards.........They have no water or electricity.......Their economy is falling apart. Keep living in your indoctrinated neocon fantasy world. Do their cars give the drivers Orwellian orders in a Kafka accent? I wouldn't trade with them, no thanks. We have had serious erosion of liberty and simple common sense in the USA, but China is no de-facto alternative. neither is Russia. (Not saying the you implied that). |

The US House citing security concerns just passed a bill forcing TIkToK to either be sold or face a ban. The future of this in the Senate remains unclear. Not sure how I feel about this, I would love to hear opinions from the brain trust on this development.

The Tik Toc thing is corporate warfare using government as the troops. |

They have been using their government to wage corporate warfare on western companies for years. I think Trump recognized this and started applying pressure on the Chinese. Biden has continued that trend. |

The Tik Toc thing is corporate warfare using government as the troops. Sigurdur, both Instagram and Facebook are banned in China. So they started using government troops to wage corporate warfare years ago. How about this, Open up China to Facebook and Instagram and we will continue to let TikTok operate in the USA. This is exactly what Trump was talking about when he started the sanctions against China. |

This is exactly what Trump was talking about when he started the sanctions against China. But Glenn, this is not aimed at the Chinese. This is designed to prevent US citizens from 'waking up'. This is an effort to stop the easy, efficient flow of information. This is an action against US citizens, has nothing to do with China. I am on TikTok, frankly I don't care if the CCP can track when I get off my couch and go to the fridge for a beer. I don't think that TikTok is going to give the Chinese government any strategic edge. Also, I have my guard up for anything like pro-China propaganda, I haven't seen that either. TikTok is a newer, faster technology which can spread Internet garbage across the planet in seconds, but it also spreads truth and information at light speed, seems to be lightly moderated, and is a threat to the Zionist warmongering carpetbaggers who took over our government. |

And we think that we have problems. Does this put New York City, Chicago and other decaying US urban centers in perspective? Surely it is not just a Chinese thing. Some of the denizen's central nervous systems are going ..."snap". Who knows? Maybe it IS geomagnetic disorder syndrome (GDS). When Granny comes for you with a big meat cleaver. Although it is more likely to be male. Twilight Zone probably had an episode on something similar.

I've had 2 scary elevator incidences in the US. I don't take them unless there is no reasonable alternative.

Duwayne, if you’re so high on the Chinese economy I think you should jump right in and put your money where your mouth is. Think of it as buying at bargain basement deals! Let us know how that works out for you… On January 22, FXI, the China large-cap ETF closed at 21.14. Currently, it's 25.79, up 22%. That's how it worked out so far (3 months). |

Hang Seng and CSI 300 both down over 11% the last year I've never had a personal investment in China but was involved in very successful corporate investments in China from shortly after Nixon opened up relations with China through my retirement from corporate life.
Any follow-up on your prediction from a couple of years ago that China was going to collapse?

Duwayne, this video pretty much sums it up for me. They are in demographic collapse due to the one child policy. They are in the midst of sorting out the worst economic bubble in the history of the world with their housing market and ghost city debacle and they are suffering from a staggering amount of lost foreign investment as other nations are fleeing China like rats jumping off a sinking ship. |
