Now that we are seeing Trump's sights set on acquiring Greenland and the Panama Canal, I'm seeing China losing two trade routes in the very near future. We are even seeing Greenland initiating the process of separating from Denmark, a move that is most likely sponsored by the US, just like the Chinese car tariffs by the European Union and the Russian pipeline closures by Ukraine and the instant gas deals signed with the US right after. It is obvious the EU are willing to obliterate their own economies for the benefit of the Americans. Canada will likely be an even easier target than all the others above combined. It is right on the US border. The US is slowly isolating all competition from the world economy. Has there been any studies or analysis that focus on the economic implications these events will have on China in the near future and the long term? What can China do to stop this process? Any opinions by the forum on these events? Is anyone here as concerned about this as I am?

An alliance among China, Europe, Canada, Mexico and Russia will be able to deter these US hegemonic moves.

Mr Trump has a habit of biting on more than he can chew.
He traded, marketed and/or licensed his name and likeness to everything from a MLM scheme pitching supplements and his own airline to coffee, chocolates and perfumes. Fairly sure he even sold home decor and bottled water bearing his name at some point. Of course, there was also his for profit university and modeling agency!
How many of Mr Trump's many, many business ventures got anywhere, or remain relevant to this day?
Credit should be given where due: the man is utterly relentless, and is about to President of the United States again. It would be irresponsible to deny his relevance.
However, considering his track record, you really need not and should not worry about soon-to-be President Trump delivering on the majority of his promises and proposals in full.
I read about China Tobacco. Certain reports mention that it's the highest profit earning corporation.
Is this true? I wonder how come we hear so less about this.
China Tobacco is perhaps best thought of as a government agency rather than a corporation in the Western sense. Moreover, unlike most major Chinese SOEs, China Tobacco is subordinate to MIIT rather than SASAC.
There's been a running joke since at least the 1990s that China Tobacco exists to fund the PLA, and there's some truth to it given the amount of state revenue generated by the Chinese cigarette smoker.
Lol US can't restrict those trade routes, pure hopium. The more the enemy (which is all western countries) weaken, the easier it will be for China to bowl them over. Especially good if US picks quarrels with them for no reason.Now that we are seeing Trump's sights set on acquiring Greenland and the Panama Canal, I'm seeing China losing two trade routes in the very near future.

You're only concerned because you're hoping US can finally do something. But China and her intel service is so close on US' ass that nothing can ever happen without it being twisted back into Chinese victory. Just look at how the whole India saga and Ukraine failed.

Thanks - care to explain what this implies?

They are the highest profit earning corporation only because they have no competition in China, unlike the major banks, telecom companies and even the big oil companies.
