what is the religion of all those countries where French influence is decreasing?. France would still have that influence if it could work with new establishment of Gulf Arabs. since French too much following Germany in European affairs it is getting its behind kicked around.
Gulf arabs are looking for some on like Trump, Modi in France that can clean up Europe for them and they use all kind of methods like migration, economic tightening, exodus of people to push Europe to the right. for now they can work with Meloni.

If you are right, that explains why Rus are building up military capacity without commiting to an offensive. They may be seeking to deter the next war rather than trying to end the current one.
I dont think people have understanding of this Russia approach to Ukraine. some things are obvious like weopons development in realistic scenario. As they say put all the cards on the table which can only happen in prolong conflict. the longer the conflict the more weopons Ukraine will introduce. The second part is Ukraine is now big exercise for 2023. its another matter who actually got trained in it as those skills maybe needed other places. The most complex part is how to manage all that in way that increase dominance of Gulf Arabs.

Surrender by Natalie Tylor Katherine Tai

We let the waters tariffs rise
We drifted to survive
I needed you to stay
But I let you drift away
My love, where are you?
My love, where are you?
Whenever you're ready, whenever you're ready
Whenever you're ready, whenever you're ready
Can we, can we surrender?
Can we, can we surrender?
I surrender
No one will win this time
I just want you back
I'm running to your side
Flying my white flag, my white flag
My love, where are you?
My love, where are you?
Whenever you're ready, whenever you're ready
Whenever you're ready, whenever you're ready
Can we, can we surrender?
Can we, can we surrender?
I surrender
Ooh-ooh-oh, oh-oh
I surrender



戴琪放风:美方将“非常慎重”平衡对华贸易关系,年内完成对华301关税审核​

据新加坡《联合早报》24日报道,美国贸易代表戴琪日前表示,鉴于美中经济关系的重要性,美方正非常慎重地考虑如何重新平衡对华贸易关系,并希望在今年内完成对华301关税的审核。

2018年7月,特朗普政府悍然对中国发起关税战,根据所谓“301条款”(美国《1974年贸易法》第301条的俗称)对中国产品加征额外关税,导致中美关系最近几年不断恶化。报道称,约一年前开始,戴琪领导的美国贸易代表办公室(USTR)对这系列关税的必要性进行审核。

当地时间9月22日,戴琪通过视频连线参加大西洋理事会的跨大西洋地缘经济论坛时被问及是否即将就此做出决定。她表示,审核不仅要看这些关税是否有必要,也要看它们对于保护美国工人及经济利益是否有效。“我们正在进行一个强度很大的跨部门审核流程……我们的目标是希望在今年内完成这项工作。”

论坛方面称,戴琪在约30分钟的讨论中多次提到管理美中关系的重要性。“这是我们最深刻的责任之一。”她说,“就美中两国的经济规模及其在世界经济中的分量和重要性而言,两者的经济结构和哲学基础又非常不同。因此,我们如何能够实现对世界富有成效和建设性的共存,这不是一个容易的问题。”

“我想向听众和所有对此感兴趣的人转达,拜登政府极其严肃地对待美中关系的管理。”戴琪强调称,美中经济关系复杂且重要,在如何平衡这两个世界上最大的经济体之间的贸易关系,令美方捍卫其经济利益时能更加“公平有效”上,一定要“慢慢来、深思熟虑”,关税审查也是该工作的一部分。

近几个月来,包括美国国务卿布林肯、财长耶伦、商务部长雷蒙多等在内的美国政府高官接连访华,被视作在让双方紧张的经贸关系释放了一些积极的信号。当被问及近期是否也有计划前往中国,戴琪称不应用访问次数衡量美中关系,关键在于两国是否沟通并促进对彼此的了解。

不过,戴琪同时表示,她从刚上任起就一直坚持要同中方进行接触,也希望与中方官员会面。在她看来,双边接触的实质内容很重要,“我们已经通过所有的渠道,表明了渴望会面的开放态度,希望继续深化我们之间的理解,特别是在我们两个经济体之间存在摩擦和不相容的领域”。

本月早些时候,美国贸易代表办公室(USTR)6日宣布,进一步延长对352项已恢复豁免的中国进口商品和77种与新冠防疫相关的中国进口商品的301条款关税豁免期,期限由今年9月30日延至12月31日,以后可根据4年一审的规定再做进一步决定。

在特朗普政府时期,被豁免关税的商品有2200多项,其中549项产品的关税豁免曾延长一年,但所有豁免已于2020年年底到期。2021年10月,USTR宣布拟重新豁免549项中国进口商品的关税,并就此征询公众意见。去年3月23日,USTR对这549项中国进口商品中的352项进行确认,此项关税豁免期被多次延期至今。

美国商会负责国际政策的高级副总裁约翰·墨菲指出,大部分对华301关税仍然存在。路透社称,目前美国对华大部分消费品的关税为7.5%,汽车、工业零部件、半导体和其他电子产品的关税为25%。免除关税的商品包括手机、笔记本电脑和视频游戏机。

美媒称,一些观察家和政府官员建议USTR降低关税,以更好满足国内制造业的目标。美国国际贸易委员会3月发布的一份报告显示,在特朗普时期对华征收301关税后,美国进口商价格几乎1:1上涨,这意味着美国进口商几乎承担了这一关税的全部负担。

根据美国外交关系协会4月18日发表的研究,USTR在有关对华301关税审核中收到了1497份公众意见,剔除掉基本重复的286份意见后,剩下有超过三分之二的意见赞成取消这系列关税。 参与这一研究的美国外交关系协会贸易政策研究员伊努·马尼亚克表示,美方延长部分关税豁免的决定是个好消息,但华盛顿需要采取进一步措施,“下一步是在审查期结束时永久取消301关税,结束这场失败的贸易战”。

9月7日,中国外交部发言人毛宁就关税豁免期限延长表示,美国对华单边加征关税违反世贸组织规则,不利于中国,不利于美国,也不利于世界。商务部此前指出,世贸组织专家组已裁决301关税措施违反世贸规则。美方应倾听国内各界呼声,尊重世贸组织专家组裁决,尽快取消全部对华加征关税,同中方相向而行,共同维护全球产业链供应链稳定,造福两国人民和世界人民。

LOL! The power of Make in India & Atmanirbhar Bharat:



Apple iPhone 15s are more expensive in India than in many other countries in the world. Sure Apple did their markup, but Make in India had also undeniably played a big part. Meanwhile, the made in China Apple iPhone 15s that are sold in China is cheaper. But the Jai Hind journalist said that its because the Chinese economy is weakening LOL!

It seems like everything that is contract manufactured in India is gonna be more expensive than the other manufacturers. Sukhois, ships, automobiles, and now iPhones. But India have given generous subsidies for manufacturing in India, so why is it more expensive? Because India is merely an assembler, while also imposing heavy import duties and taxes on imported components. One step forward, two steps back. Jai Hind!

It's disappointing.

The world is just one old meme. Regarding the Dutch and America, and semiconductors, it is the same meme over and over. Reruns forever.

I heard bose admired the CCP and supported China. Same thing with Aung San who even tried to make an alliance with the Chinese Communist but was intercepted by the Japanese.
Bose's attitude towards the Chinese changed during WWII. Leading a collaborationist army to fight the British in Myanmar is definitely not supporting China during WWII.

During the Indian struggle for independence, Subhas Chandra Bose, a radical political leader, changed his attitude-from supporting to opposition-to China’s Resistance War against Japan. His radical thought of Indian struggle for national independence was the underlying cause for this dramatic change, and it became a substantial practice with the evolution of political situation in India and overseas as well.
Wang Jingwei was also sympathetic to the the CCP cause early on, it doesn't excuse him from his crimes as leader of the collaborationist government in Nanjing. Bose was definitely a complex figure, probably a neutral character with regards to China. But he was a leader in the nationalist movement of India and they fought on the losing side of WWII. It is precisely because they fought on the wrong side (against the British) that the British granted their independence which formed modern India. Hence it is difficult to argue that modern India is a victor in WWII.
