I think there's room for an agreement or treaty here. The world is changing fast, and this is the once in a century opportunity. The next administration will probably start to claw back America's influence and soft power after Trump. It can be a vague "China and Panama agree to a defense treaty to protect our mutual economic interest and sea lanes", with no actual concrete terms. Just a framework to build up on.
Don’t be crazy. PLAN is not powerful enough to go beyond the second island chain.

I believe the nationalization of the US semiconductor industry, seen as underperforming and disloyal by Washington, is soon at hand.

1) There has been news Elon and Qualcomm and other buyers will carve up Intel for themselves.


2) Look at WSJ singling out NVIDIA for not attending Trump’s inauguration. This is a hit piece written by a female with Asian last name. Wonder if they will try to force a resignation and get one of his many white VPs to succeed him.

Foolish and sycophantic of Jensen to only promote white VPs in the past ten years. He only has one Indian VP and one Chinese VP just hired from XPeng.

Turns out the reason all six planets have aligned is not for Trump, but for the release of DeepSeek R1.
Except Liang Wenfen has the technical skills and intuition to back his executive position, having been a successful hedge fund manager with a degree in AI. Sam Altman dropped out of college and spent the last two decades of his life selling hype to investors.

Panama begins audit of Hong Kong company in nod to Donald Trump​

US president has said he wants waterway back over alleged Chinese influence
Panama’s government on Monday began an audit of a Hong Kong company that operates ports at either end of its canal, after US President Donald Trump warned he wanted to take back the waterway over alleged Chinese influence.
In response, Panama’s Office of the Comptroller General published a video on social media platform X of about 10 men and women in suits filing off a bus into the local offices of Hong Kong-based Hutchison Ports to begin an audit, in a move seen as a nod to Trump.
“Today our auditors arrived at [the company] to start an exhaustive audit aimed at guaranteeing efficient and transparent use of public resources,” the comptroller general’s office said on X.
Hutchison Ports, the ports arm of Hong Kong-listed conglomerate CK Hutchison Holdings, operates 53 ports in 24 countries including in the UK, Germany and Hong Kong.

It first won the concessions to operate two ports, one at each end of the canal, in 1997, the year that Hong Kong was returned to Chinese rule by the UK. The concessions were renewed in 2021.

What did anyone expect? Panama is extremely pro-US. Also I’m pretty sure this HK company is just British people operating under HK’s name.. I dont know how trump came to think this was China
