They prepping the same seals team to NordStream the TSMC, port of Beirut style...
China should be well ahead of them for that with air strikes. TSMC has become a national security threat, they are preparing to share valuable Chinese trade secrets with America, even if Beijing probably doubts US can replicate the supply chain successfully (let alone at consumer grade costs), TSMC has shown treasonous intent and must be put out within a few years at most.
Wow. That is actually insane revenue growth based on horny people.
In 2021, their annual revenue was $932 million and the owner received a daily $1 million dividend.
Now in 2023, they are making $6.63 billion and the dividend the owner is getting annually must be immense.
This guy is really dumb. Russia recently finished replacing nearly all its truck launched Topol ICBMs with Yars ICBMs. They replaced ICBMs which had single warheads with MIRVed ones with four warheads each. They also modernized their SLBMs. R-29RMU2 can carry up to twelve MIRVed warheads, triple that of its predecessor. Then there is the RSM-56 Bulava, an SLBM designed to pierce US missile defenses by traveling at lower altitude than regular SLBMs, up to 10 MIRVed warheads each.
They regularly conduct tests of their ICBMs and SLBMs. Including volley fire of SLBMs.
When was the last time the US conducted a volley fire test of their SLBMs?
The Russians put the Avangard glide vehicle into service. They are putting RS-28 Sarmat in service. The Poseidon nuclear torpedo, the Burevestnik nuclear cruise missile are finishing trials, etc.
The US has the Minuteman ICBM with single warheads made in the 1970s into stationary silos. And they have refurbished Trident II SLBMs from the 1990s which the British cannot seem to launch properly.

Again, “nope” means you misinterpreted what “external debt” means. I didn’t “boast”, I simply stated a statistic that 2/3rds of treasuries are held by US investors, which largely matched all fixed income products (itself an entirely neutral term; who owns treasuries itself is mostly a statistical artifact, irrelevant for nearly everything). ~$53 trillion in long term fixed income products outstanding (), obviously more short-term fixed income (commercial paper, tbills) and non-listed fixed income (bank loans) which would be a ~300% of gdp face value. Everyone, including China recognizes that foreign ownership of debt is desirable, hence why China also implemented the Bond Connect, so international investors could buy Chinese bonds
I never claimed America has lower external debt. I claimed that public debt in the U.S. is on a more sustainable path than public debt in China. External debt is of all debt securities, not just the public sector.
Indeed. Foreigners being willing and capable of buying corporate bonds, MBS, and the like is a good thing. Foreigners buying treasuries is a good thing. The thing that matters is the sustainability of debt payments; not their ownership per se. Foreign claims on U.S. assets in general, are about the trade deficits which themselves are about savings rates (but that foreigners chose to invest in risk assets instead of stashing it all in a FRBNY account itself shows their confidence in the U.S. and contributes to efficient capital allocation, capital deepening, liquidity, and improves competition)
The U.S. isn’t collapsing since Congress will simply fix social security and Medicare proceeding the first failed treasury auction. China’s national debt is also increasing faster than the U.S.’ national debt: that is the definition of more unsustainable.
Yes, after Fed rate hikes that moved the policy rate from 0% to 5% which is now headed back to 0%,
US-China relations really collapsed in 2020. What happened to debt and equity returns in 2020? Hmm….. Ever since US-China relations really veered off track in 2018, equity returns have been fabulous. They aren’t strongly determinative.
That is entirely rank speculation unsupported by any evidence whatsoever other than gossip. Plus, it makes no sense she would need China to buy US treasuries since
1) China’s pile of USD would simply be deposited in a FRB/NY correspondent account and the New York Fed can buy treasuries with that
2) U.S. treasury auctions with primary dealers are regularly 2x oversubscribed, even when no primary dealer is a Chinese financial.
3) the same regular buyers of the long end of the yield curve - life insurers and pension funds - are now more willing to buy treasuries given the increasing yields (and even in 2020 when treasuries were yielding nothing, they were buying them hand over fist).
America reverting back to the oldest profession... prostitution will probably be legalized soon just like in Australia
you cannot compare Western EU with Gulf when look at net salaries , the living standards and opportunities provided in business.
See the Chinese companies registered in Dubai Chamber. but there is some thing beyond wealth that is Soft Power but that is not for every one. when i posted that picture of MIG in Russia i dont think people understood the picture of Golden Domes and its right at the airport. these people hide wealth much better than any one else as they have learned soft power.
Debt repayment isn't just measured in the face value of the currency it's issued in, all soverign nation can issue new debt aka print money to repay old ones, actual ability to repay also include the value of the currency itself, and the value of USD is reliant on the backing of wealth producers which is not US itself. In other words America is only able to repay its debt because China still find it useful enough back the USD, China does because it gives China control over US current behavior and ability to punish US for bad behavior.
The only real thing in the world is wealth, and money isn't wealth. Sustainability of debt has nothing to do with money itself which can always be printed be it at 5% interest or 0% interest, it is entirely driven by wealth creation, and China is the one with wealth, America isn't. Be it through Chinese ownership of UST or China's control of USD, in the end power always belong to those with real wealth.
And no Feds rates won't go back to 0%, you seem to completely missed the reason it went up to begin with, and it's not just inflation.
