The US will not stop trying to ruin China (until either country is utterly defeated and in a state of collapse).

The Global South will not stop playing both sides, both because it is the best way to extract benefits, and because they fear the long-arm, extra-territorial jurisdiction of the US (e.g. color revolutions, assassinations, drone strikes, etc.), which China is presently not in a position to really stop.

Petty rulers can hardly afford to get on the bad side of the US. Unless they live in a fortress like North Korea, they know they are expendable and that the US can target them by many different means.

There's no end to opportunists in Global South countries who'd willingly work with the US to overthrow their governments, and even if there are no promising candidates for the time being, it's nothing a couple of missiles can't fix.

The reality is, unless you're already on the US's **** list and have nothing to lose, it takes a lot of courage to openly defy the US.
If we take what the white house says at face value, Malaysia and Cambodia basically agreed to look into banning products form Xinjiang, and banning any products from companies on the US entity list.

That's pretty insane. Especially given the foot print some of these companies have in Malaysia.

I wonder if this will be implemented at all or even in the way trump envisioned. I suspect either the white house is over exaggerating what they got out of the deal or Malaysia will never properly police or implement it.

Same with Cambodia. I mean giving up all that for 20% tariffs?

Long term I see less economic dependency on the US from all these countries. Asking japan and south Korean to pay 300 and 500 billion in protection money to the US doesn't bother me much because it just makes Japan and South Korea weaker and I don't think trump will be good with the money to make it useful. Same with Australia.

But forcing other countries to enforce the US entity list is dangerous. I'm Sure if it hurts china, china will respond. I mean they are signing the FTA between China and ASEAN 3.0. On Tuesday. Hope that goes through as planned

This is why China must not back down on REE ban.... the US never had intent to give any quarter (per Tom Cotton), its kill or be killed.

The contribution by Katherine Tai is indicative of the La Malinche treachery of Asian women who grew up in the west who seek to ingratiate themselves into white Anglo supremacist society. Just like singaporeans who fight for the Zionist American state, I regard them as traitors in the Lee Kuan Yew view of compradors who helped the British push opium onto Chinese.
So basically it will go nowhere and all is well

Here are some key excerpts.

1. If the United States imposes a customs duty, quota, prohibition, fee, charge, or other import restriction on a good or service of a third country and considers that such measure is relevant to protecting the economic or national security of the United States, the United States intends to notify such measure to Malaysia for the purpose of economic and national security alignment. Upon receiving such notification from the United States, Malaysia shall adopt or maintain a measure with equivalent restrictive effect as the measure adopted by the United States or agree to a timeline for implementation that is acceptable to both Parties, to address a shared economic or national security concern, guided by principles of goodwill and a shared commitment to enhancing bilateral relations between the United States and Malaysia.

2. Malaysia shall cooperate with the United States, in a manner consistent with applicable requirements of domestic laws and regulations, with a view to restricting transactions of its nationals with individuals and entities included in the U.S. Department of Commerce Bureau of Industry and Security Entity List (Supplement 4 of Part 744 of the Export Administration Regulations), as well as the U.S. Department of the Treasury Office of Foreign Assets Control Lists of Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons List (SDN List) and the Non-SDN Consolidated Sanctions List.

3. Malaysia shall explore the establishment of a mechanism to review inbound investment for national security risks, including in connection with critical minerals and critical infrastructure, consistent with widely accepted international best practices, and shall cooperate with the United States on matters related to investment security.


Article 2.9: Labor

1. Malaysia shall adopt and implement a prohibition on the importation of goods mined, produced, or manufactured wholly or in part by forced or compulsory labor. Malaysia may acknowledge U.S. government determinations on entities under Section 307 of the Tariff Act of 1930 and shall take appropriate action to prohibit importation of goods from those companies. The Parties shall cooperate by sharing best practices on the development and enforcement of forced labor import prohibitions, as appropriate. Malaysia shall implement the obligations in this paragraph within two years of the date of entry into force of this Agreement.



Basically aimed at china. The US wants to Malaysia and Cambodia to sanction who they sanction eg. Huawei and stop products form Xinjiang.

But there's a lot of "explore" and "in accordance to domestic laws" so depends on how it's initiated.

However China will hit back cause this is basically a loss of sovereignty by these two countries

Does not seem like much.

Roshi keeps spinning and gaslighting. Seems that Americans have just realized what a mistake it was that they made China an enemy
They seem to be forgetting that they were cheering the collapse of China with what Biden did and Trump before him. Trump said China was going to collapse day one of his trade war and that was when they say today that China was in a weaker position to withstand one. China also had more of a stranglehold on rare earths back then yet today China’s dominance is lesser daring to put restrictions. How can you cheer a collapse then when they claim it wasn’t intended in hindsight?
