Joshua goes to jail, while Julie gets promoted.

Hong Kongers go to jail to help white people get promotions and Wikipedia pages. Then those white people abandon Hong Kongers.

This is truly unequal exchange.

It's not a white/chinese thing. If you were Joshua Wong and had half a brain, you must know that you are on a level below a US Government official, basically a grunt.

Hong Kongers go to jail to help white people get promotions and Wikipedia pages. Then those white people abandon Hong Kongers.

This is truly unequal exchange.

Assignments in China tend to be considered hardship tours at the State Department. When a FSO returns from the Celestial Empire, they're typically given a more desirable gig or otherwise rewarded. So the promotion Julie Eadeh received wasn't surprising.

Julie may have volunteered for another stint in Hong Kong to secure a follow-on assignment that will translate to a major promotion, the sort that'll require a hearing or two before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.

I don't get it. It was so obvious this would happen. Don't need to be Nostradamus to forsee it. And yet they still did it anyway.

It's not a white/chinese thing. If you were Joshua Wong and had half a brain, you must know that you are on a level below a US Government official, basically a grunt.

Joshua Wong was a smart kid, but absolutely lacking in wisdom and foresight; and like a lot of smart kids, he mistook himself for invincible.

He thoroughly indulged in his "15 minutes" of fame and infamy, even if he got used by Uncle Sam: celebrityhood can be utterly intoxicating (it's why most celebrities are narcissists), and he definitely enjoyed it while it lasted.

Now Joshua gets to pay for it in a cell.

I noticed the new westoid trend is to say China is not truly anti west coz it's not hardcore enough like Iran to be fully sanctioned or it's pro Zionist coz it maintains normal relationships with Israel.

Imagine being those researchers and advisors for the party in China where you research hard and formulate proper geopolitical moves. And you have these morons trying to define you like some Marvel movie of good vs bad.

China is not anti west. China is pro China. Simple as. It's just happens that the west is selfish and insists on being a stone in China's road to development. Barking about how you will lead the global south is what a country like India does. And we know it's not out of good measure.

Also a lot of Arab states recognize Israel. They don't take in plaestianian refugees. Why should China carry this burden? China simply said there should be a two state solution. As for Iran, chanting death to America while failing to have the means of stealing their industry which actually hurts is again placing some imaginary burden on China doesn't make sense.

China needs to allow the RMB to appreciate substantially. When that happens other countries will be scrambling for RMB and then use it as the trading currency.
It’s a double edged sword and not just all benefits and no costs or risks, which will take several lectures to just scratch the surface.

China keeps careful control on the RMB for very good reasons, which is why it’s not desperately keen for the RMB to just straight replace the USD, as that would trade one problem for another.

What it is doing is removing the USD from its own bilateral trade with the RoW, but it has no interest in actively promoting that the RMB he used by other countries doing trade with each other.

China also cannot simply create a separate international trading currency, as that will basically carry much of the same risks and costs as just straight using RMB.

The ideal solution, which is what China is trying to push, is for the whole world to accept a common universal trading currency that isn’t linked or dependent on any single nation. That way all countries can essentially separate the often conflicting internal and external monetary policy priorities and pressures on their own sovereign currency supply and demand dynamics.

This is why it continues to tolerate India. Because for such a currency to work, you can’t just issue with to and between friendly nations. I think the rational is that if you can develop a framework that will satisfy the Indians, you can easily build upon that to satisfy just about anyone else.
The price of the Yuan is determined by the market, has been like that since 2012.

Now he is in-cell again...

No matter what, China needs to convert at least 20% of its more than $3 trillion (7 billion of this are US Treasuries) foreign exchange reserves into gold, like the US does.

According to Glenn, China's restriction of rare-earth exports in 2011 after the Diaoyu Island clash may have pushed Japan to develop hydrogen car instead of EV, which ultimately caused the downfall of Japan's auto industry.
