I think America really lucked out they f*ed up in Iran rather before going against China.
Imagine starting war with China believing China wasn't suppose to bomb Okinawa or Guam.
Or worse, that China wasn't suppose to land troops and occupy those island chain bases America is nice enough to build for China.
Imagine them attempting an attack on three gorges dam on day one and the number of freshly minted PLAAF ACEs…

Funny enough, the USA really thought they could get away with its actions unscathed. Seriously one of the reasons this keeps happening is that the never seem to have the culprits for such stupid actions executed for such treason, instead they always seem to be promoted some how. I don’t think there will be any kind of a future that would allow for the USA to actually accomplish anything with regards to Taiwan ever because none of its capabilities can even think of striking China in any way that won’t be handled with ease give Chinas radar and surveillance systems and any missile systems Iran has, Chinas is guaranteed to be a whole few tiers above. Seriously they should give up on south east Asia completely like they may have to do the same in regards to the Middle East given its current loses

It's not actually China's official policy to run massive trade surplus, China only do so right now because USD is currently the reserve currency and China needs reserves to maintain financial security against a hostile US.

Oil trade in RMB also doesn't imply China must run a deficit, unlike America China actually makes stuff, you can very much have a world where China makes everything while everyone else sells resources and agricultural products to China in exchange for them. Or they can try competing against Chinese companies in high tech products, China also isn't afraid of competition.

A lot of arguments for why you don't want RMB internationalization is based on the implicit assumption that USD is still the reserve currency and things like oil will still be priced in USD. So to answer your question: countries can aquire more RMBs by selling stuff to oil producing countries who pays them in RMB, RMB they received from China in exchange for oil, hence the utility of pricing oil in RMB.

As for America, they can starve to death for anyone cares.

It's also that in order to derisk from the outside world (especially the USA) and build up domestic industries, a weak currency helps make domestic industries competitive, at least in the beginning.

But going forward, China can handle a stronger currency and a smaller trade surplus

What I do not get is why these countries are still hesitating instead of telling the Americans to get lost already.

The sooner they accept the current reality, the balance of power, and cut their losses, the better it will be for them.


As long Saudi has that special view of New Europe. they will blame every thing on others and effectiveness of MBS governing system to steer things just like previous Saudi Kings.
who are the actual loser of this conflict. 60 to 90 percent of people working are migrants.
interms of net exposure it is Indians, Iranians, Europeans and Asians countries.
Even Chinese trade and 400K Chinese residents in UAE will be impacted. i am sure there more Chinese in other Kingdoms.
These people not realize that there is gaint Soft Power next door.

In the first part of the video about 20 minutes, Erik Prince explains it well.

If drones was ultimate weopon than Russia economic not just survived. but thrived. Russia faced more drones than all the Gulf emirates/Israel combined. what this Israel, US and Gulf Emirate lack is 21st century air power. Russia has put clear definition so Americans can understand.
Effectiveness of Airpower is combining high altitude AWACS/JSTAR/Growler into one and goes much closer to the battlefield and than use time sensitive weopons to quickly finish TELs and drone hide outs and what is left is mobile air defense integrated with air power. how do you think Russian intercepted 12 HIMAR in less than ten seconds at distance of 70 to 90 miles.
US does not have that high speed kill chain over vast distances nor it has that deep penetrating ultra low altitude attack choppers with long range weopons. only Israel invested in high altitude AWACS and ALBMs but they dont have persistence over battlefield.
additionally RT Arabic release certain things which is like Putin conveying the superior intelligence and endurance of people.

"Thanks to the Sych, the Su-34 has become a sixth-generation fighter."
Drobyshevsky added that these aircraft are also equipped with the Fraction system.
"Developed by the Moscow-based company TPK Lincos, this system scans vast areas and transmits processed and synthesized images to operator screens and ground control centers. The reconnaissance aircraft is capable of detecting even camouflaged targets. Ultimately, this system reveals enemy targets at a range of 200-300 km," the expert added.
“In the sense that the Americans understand it,” says Air Force Major General

The irony is the US killed-off probably the soft-liners in Iran. That’s why now Iran is more formidable than last year’s US-Israel strike because the softies are now dead. I can see the same mistake for the Chinese. The Chinese that believe in saying nothing… doing nothing when wronged aren’t believing it because it’s a strategy. It’s because they think it will result in the least amount of anger from the enemy. Even when the West isn’t wronging the Chinese and they’re saying nothing and doing nothing when the West is doing wrong, that only says to the West they aren’t going suffer consequences and that only encourages them to do it more than ever. Just like how Trump thought Iran was going to be as easy as Venezuela. It flies against the logic of those Chinese who think it’s some proven philosophy that works.

I hope that China has a working hypersonic glide vehicle that can release a payload. We haven’t heard anything more about it in years. It could be like how they said China’s ASBM wouldn’t work and now all of the sudden it’s considered a legitimate threat. It’s only fair to be able to drop “conventional” ordinance on the enemies’ homelands since they do it all the time. Just look at Americans getting off on Tehran’s skies blackened with smoke from oil refinery fires. China doesn’t have to go after military or strategic targets. How about seeing national forests burning? That alone can be billions in costs for each. Yeah, I know that would be against international law but look how the US and Israel can commit genocide in Gaza without “intent”.

That's because the mullahs got bombed and the Ayatollah is dead, which is honestly a net positive. It's about time the IRGC hardliners just took over.
In the post war environment if Iran survives, you could make a pretty good argument that a junta version of Iran is actually a better arrangement than theocracy.

Junta tend to have corruption problems yes but as long as it doesn't get too out of hand it seems to be a stable form of government. Seen as the generals in charge tend to see the country as their personal property they tend to actually give a shit about what's happening to the country.
