They are dangerous to oversea Chinese, but not China. Since they only go to west, they do not affect China or Chinese allies.

A lot of them are born in India. They do the bidding or at least have a lot of connections with the Indian elite. Naturally they will use their power to benefit India which may hurt China since there's a conflict of interest at hand. Sunak was born in the UK and yet his Wife is the daughter heiress of Infosys. There's no way he can be impartial.

Thats why its important for China to have its own local companies. Do you really trust Google run by an Indian that has been abiding by Indian government censorship to be dictating searches for local Chinese? Luckily China doesn't need to make this choice since Google pulled out first.

Makes no difference. Countries affected by Indians are already enemies prior to them. If anything Indians do China a favor by weakening them. Only danger they pose is scamming unwitting business like xiaomi.

Can someone who understands Iranian politics jump in on what's happening?

Why is Iran doing nothing against Israeli attacks demolishing their allies? Is it because of the new pro-West president?

They are being lured into attacking Israel but avoiding it. Israel wants a war with Iran because then US will be forced to join. Iran wants to continue the way it has in Iraq and Syria - by proxies and sending Iranian soldiers unofficially without uniform which has been a very effective strategy for Iran.

Trump is angry at John Deere because they just announced they're going outsource to Mexico to make their vehicles. Trump has threatened to slap a 200% tariff on John Deere. Does Trump think Mexico pays the tariff? If that were the case why would that deter John Deere from outsourcing to Mexico? They ain't paying the tariff. Mexico is. Mexico isn't going to pay the US a tariff where they make no money so they ain't going let John Deere outsource to Mexico. That's fine if that was the ultimate goal. But Trump is saying other countries are going to pay for Americans' income taxes through tariffs. Not when no one is going to let American companies outsource in their countries if they have to pay a tariff for an American company's product.

Regarding Mark Cuban. He wants small American entrepreneurs protected from China. Without China, small American entrepreneurs wouldn't be able to afford the cost to start-up production on their ideas. The costs in the US make it impossible to do. That's why you see them going to China with their ideas.

Mexico-Canada-US have a free trade agreement to prevent tariffs. However, in April 2024, Mexico imposed tariffs on certain American raw materials and semi-processed materials. US retaliated in July with similar tariffs on Mexican raw materials.

They are telling John Deere "if you kill our jobs by moving to Mexico to have better financial health, then we will make it equally difficult for you to sell in our market for which you will suffer financially".

Iran president warns of 'irreversible' consequences of wider regional war​

I have lost all hope for Iran.

Click to expand...

That’s the price and consequences of having allies and proxies - it’s possible for enemies to leverage them to put pressure on you.

But while it may look cowardly, it is the right play for Iran. What’s the alternative? Jump in and give Israel exactly what it desperately craves?

Israel has bitten off more than it can chew with Gaza, and Hezbollah is bleeding them slowly but surely. Israel is in an untenable position, so it needs to break out of its current bind. Their only options available are to abandon Gaza or pull America into the fight to bail them out. To pull America in, Israel is seeking to broaden the conflict and get Iran involved.

This is a similar situation to the first Gulf War when Saddam was bombarding Israel with Scuds and Israel had to sit on its hands and not get strike back for the sake of the bigger picture.
