Germany has become laughing stock, Clown Show:
You probably didn't get his sarcasm. He is saying that "made in Vietnam" is just a proxy for "made in China" with a markup because of additional middlemen.That’s like saying your dad can replace IKEA because he makes chairs in his garage workshop.
Aah a simple plan and easy to execute I like it just like all the other degen stuff I like to do in Brussels..This is completely false.
Completely eliminating dependency on China requires one simple step. Just replace all your Chinese imports with Vietnamese imports.
Did you know that Vietnam has an identical substitute for everything that China makes? It looks the same, it feels the same - it is the same.
The only difference is that "Made in Vietnam" costs 15% more and takes a couple of weeks longer to ship. As your Vietnamese supplier will tell you, this is because Vietnam's logistics network is less developed. So it takes a bit longer for product to arrive from the factories in Vietnam's populous but far-flung northern provinces.
Don't forget to max out credit cardsThis coupled with the US hegemony Perils whitepaper leads me to believe China is going to start hitting back in this cold war possibly hot war soon... Maybe AR by August... for realz this time
Xi should pull the rug out from under American's feet and hard decouple now, empty them Walmart shelves DaDa
Im ready for the riots
Anglo demand for Hopium now requires ever larger quantities, given that reality is now starting to intrude more and more.
Butt hurt bro, who want to buy a Nokia phone ,even the cheapskake Indians won't touch it....lol
You know i thought the same about 2020, 2021 and 2022 this moment of US empire weakness would finally give European leaders the bravery to just grab their chance for sovereignty and take back control. But well look at Europe now they laid down willing and pull off their pants for daddy Biden. To think they celebrated the return of the goldfish brain king.
Yeah does Nokia even exist anymore im pretty sure microsoft gutted the company off its IP portfolio so it offers nothing the US doesn't already have.
Yeah bro, it's all optics, what do Finland export to China? ei mitään!!!! Nokia and Wartsila engine are two known Finland brand BUT they were outcompeted by the Chinese, they talk tough cause China is far away. With most EU countries produce and compete with each other, let's see if they be crawling back to Beijing in a year of two kowtowing and kissing the feet of Emperor Xi.
Call me back when Finland enacts a large-scale tariff on China.
It's been half a decade since the New Cold War started. Not a single European country - in fact not a single American ally, not even Australia! - has placed large-scale tariffs or bans on Chinese goods.
One pattern I've observed over the years is that Europeans love to talk about reducing dependency on China. They especially love doing so in English when speaking with Americans. Yet when it comes to anti-China action, the Europeans always seem to be rudely interrupted by a critical summer beach holiday that comes first in priority.
I'll be fair to the Finns; up to the Ukrainian War, they were fairly neutral as per their policy of "Finlandisation"- hell, Xi even made a point of Finland back in 2010- well over 13 yrs ago. However it appears that they have a compromised government- Sanna Marin is WEF alumni- and Finnish elements feel that they need to curry favour with the Anglos for national security- like Lithuania.To reduce dependency on China you would need a big big re-industrialisation plan of multiple decades. Imaging having to plan and execute all that while you could also be out there drinking virgin blood and do all other kind of degen stuff.
This is the same Ukraine that signed the Minsk Accords, promised peace with Russia and then set about arming its military for war in the last 10 years to massacre Russians in the Donbass. What is the worth of such a 'non aggression pact'? About the same worth when it is signed by Nazis be it from the 30s or the 2010s.Lukashenko, speaking of sabotage against the A-50 aircraft, called Zelensky a "nit". "President Zelensky is just a nit. Just a nit! Such operations are not carried out without the consent of the head of the country and the commander in chief. I am telling you this as a president," Lukashenko said. He noted that Zelensky "runs around Belarus" and asks to conclude a non-aggression pact, and at the same time agrees to sabotage in the country.
Lukashenko said that because of the sabotage, the A-50 plane was not seriously damaged, scratches and one hole did not interfere with performing duties. He noted that he asked Russia to pick up the plane for maintenance, and to send another one to Belarus.
The lies continue on and on.This is the same Ukraine that signed the Minsk Accords, promised peace with Russia and then set about arming its military for war in the last 10 years to massacre Russians in the Donbass. What is the worth of such a 'non aggression pact'? About the same worth when it is signed by Nazis be it from the 30s or the 2010s.
It has about the same worth as the 'guardrails' that Anglos are so fond of pushing for, even as they instigate war and chaos.
