GG Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 This is one of many stories (pay wall) why Xi is petrified and Trump is confident he can win the trade negotiation with China Quote A building splurge in this impoverished pocket of rural China ended in half-finished projects and a trail of angry investors from some of the country’s wealthiest areas. On a recent winter workday, investors and representatives from private fund companies in Shanghai and elsewhere descended on Sandu, a county in the deep south where tens of thousands of locals live on less than a dollar a day. After taxi rides from the high-speed rail station that took them past incomplete buildings and a gigantic golden statue of a man on horseback, they sat in government offices, demanding repayment. “We sympathize with you investors,” Jian Shiwei, deputy general manager of a Sandu government-backed investment company that borrowed hundreds of millions of yuan to develop the area. “But there’s no money right now.” The standoff in Sandu is a microcosm of China’s mounting debt problem. Across the country, local governments and their more than 2,000 financing companies have run up trillions of dollars of debt to borrow and build their way to prosperity, tapping into ready financing from well-off investors chasing higher returns. Now the bills are coming due, and China’s slowing economy, curbs by Beijing on risky financing—and the massive scale of borrowing—are plaguing repayment and leaving some investors in limbo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure they're pretty motivated to get a deal done. Nothing like economic and social hardship for causing political upheaval. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On 2/25/2019 at 5:12 PM, Deranged Rhino said: There are multiple fronts that need to be urgently addressed w/r to China. Number one on that list is IP theft/corporate espionage. That's a boondoggle without an easy answer, but the progress being made on that front are obvious if you've been tracking what's been happening with Huawei and ZTE. A lot of that issue can't be solved by signing a deal, it has to be done at the counterintelligence level... which would be easier if somehow our entire HUMINT network in China hadn't been systematically eliminated during the previous administration (under Mr. Brennan's leadership among others). Almost like that was done as some sort of quid pro quo ... but that's another story. https://www.nytimes.com/2018/05/08/us/politics/cia-china-jerry-lee-indictment.html https://in.news.yahoo.com/cias-communications-suffered-catastrophic-compromise-started-iran-090018710.html?guccounter=1 I'll leave it to the economists of the board to give you a more concrete answer to the specific goals, but my point is what they are actually negotiating is much more than an economic agreement. That's the public face of a deal that's much more expansive in scope - hence my comments about the DPRK deal being tied to this one. So it's really important to not look at either of these deals (not just China and the DPRK, but all these trade deals) as being independent of one another even though they're presented as such. The world order is being rewritten - here at home, in Europe, the Middle East, South America and Asia... all at once. That's not an accident. It's evidence of what I laid out in the OP of the Deep State Thread. There's a global shadow war taking place that's going to end up changing the power structure of the world, not just this country. The evidence of it is out there in the open for all to see - but no one in the media or politics is going to cover it. We have to do it for ourselves.

Buffalo_Gal Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 Trump to expel dozens of Maduro loyalists from the US The Trump administration is expelling dozens of officials loyal to Venezuelan strongman Nicolas Maduro from the United States, a top administration official announced Friday. “Maduro supporters that abuse or violate human rights, steal from the Venezuelan people or undermine Venezuela’s democracy are not welcome in the United States,” Special Envoy Elliott Abrams told reporters at the State Department. “Neither are their family members, who enjoy a privileged lifestyle at the expense of liberty and prosperity of millions of Venezuelans.” Abrams’ announcement follows through on a threat aired prior to last week’s attempt to deliver humanitarian aid to Venezuela in coordination with top opposition leader Juan Guaido, whom the U.S. and dozens of other countries have recognized as the interim president of the country. Maduro blocked the deliveries, and now, U.S. officials will revoke the visas of Maduro's top officials and their families in an attempt to fracture the unity of the regime leadership. </snip> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a country in our hemisphere. It’s been the objective of American presidents going back to Ronald Reagan to have a completely democratic hemisphere,” Bolton told [CNN’s Jake] Tapper. “I mentioned at the end of last year that we’re looking at the talk of tyranny. Part of the problem in Venezuela is the heavy Cuban presence. 20,000 to 25,000 Cuban security officials by reports that have been in the public. But this is the sort of thing that we find unacceptable and that’s why we’re pursuing these policies.” Flashback: John Kerry: “The Monroe Doctrine Is Over.” —Slate, November 19, 2013. .
