He's a joke though.

Especially on how he blames China for nearly everything lol (like he should be blaming jews for many of the claims he makes, such as control/dominance over media, bribing/buying politicians etc.).

This doesn’t even make any sense. If China is controlling the media why is China and the Chinese government being shat on by both conservative and liberal media?

I will give the "Putin soiled himself" award for investigative report to this one.

In reality, the West knows jack about Chinese politics' inner workings, one of the simplest reasons is - drum roll - China uses their own telecom gears that don't have NSA/CIA back doors.

I agree 100% with the guest of Tucker Carson. Everything should be blamed on China, because China controls America's politicians completely.

After reading his answer, I have to admit that he is sensitive to numbers, but he still seems to be too optimistic. According to Ynet (parent company Yediot Ahronot) Israel's WIA since the war started has reached 5000, of which 58% (about 2000) have suffered serious injuries to hands and feet requiring amputation. IDF just began to attack South Gaza and most of the strongholds in North Gaza still need to be taken, if IDF want to take Gaza completely, IDF casualties will reach unacceptable levels. This war is not likely to last long.

(I guess they renamed the title within the article, after all 5000 WIA is too horrible)

The general consensus in the international community is that Israel has lost the Gaza conflict strategically.

Israel Is Losing this War​

Despite the violence it has unleashed on Palestinians, Israel is failing to achieve its political goals.

Cherry picking what they want to believe and say the rest was planted stories or whatever. They think China is playing 8D chess therefore even the made in china toaster is shady to them.

Let's be real. We all know who controls the media in the Western world. Those same people portray China as a threat to divert the public's attention from their numerous misdeeds. To their credit, this strategy has worked spectacularly well so far.

Kishida met with group leader tied to Unification Church in 2019​

Prime Minister Fumio Kishida met with the leader of a Unification Church affiliate in Tokyo in 2019 when he was policy chief of the ruling Liberal Democratic Party, sources said.

According to the sources, Kishida met Masayoshi Kajikuri, chairman of the Japanese branch of the Universal Peace Federation (UPF), when Newt Gingrich, a former U.S. House speaker, and others visited the LDP’s headquarters on Oct. 4, 2019.

The UPF was founded by Sun Myung Moon, founder of the Unification Church, and his wife, Hak Ja Han Moon, the current leader of the religious organization now formally called the Family Federation for World Peace and Unification.

Gingrich has close ties with the UPF, a friendship organization of the church, and has frequently attended UPF gatherings.

Kishida, chairman of the LDP’s Policy Research Council at the time, mainly discussed the situation surrounding the U.S. presidential election with Gingrich during their meeting, which lasted for more than 30 minutes.

Another conversation took place between Kishida and Kajikuri, who introduced himself and handed Kishida his business card, the sources said.

Gingrich: It was clear who was at 2019 meeting with Kishida​

Former U.S. House Speaker Newt Gingrich indicated that Prime Minister Fumio Kishida likely understood that people connected to the Unification Church were present at a meeting he attended in 2019.

In written responses received by The Asahi Shimbun on Dec. 6, Gingrich said he met Kishida in October 2019 at the headquarters of the ruling Liberal Democratic Party in Tokyo along with Michael Jenkins, the current president of Universal Peace Federation (UPF) International, a friendship organization of the Unification Church.

Masayoshi Kajikuri, chairman of UPF Japan, was also in attendance, Gingrich said.

Kishida was the LDP’s policy chief at the time.

Jenkins was president of the U.S. branch of the Unification Church between 2000 and 2009.

“First we exchanged business cards,” Gingrich said. Then “(we) all sat together” and “had a discussion about the historic alliance between the U.S. and Japan.”

Gingrich sent several pictures taken during the meeting.

One shows Kishida, Gingrich, Jenkins and Kajikuri posing together.

The photos also show Kishida shaking hands with Jenkins and looking at a business card that was apparently exchanged.

Gingrich said, “At the time, it was clear who was in the meeting.”

Gingrich also said the meeting “was arranged by UPF Japan.”

How did a South Korean cult gain so much influence within the senior leadership of Japan?

A good woman, who I know personally, was forced to resign today. Let this be a reminder to anyone who thinks that the US is a beacon of free speech.

Can't compare to other universities but mine had a dropout rate of 60% for mechanical engineer in my year. Of course most of it is due to people thinking they are fit for college because they had A grades in high school

Our Brains are to small to comprehend this CCP Masterstroke.

Maybe we can ask a Jai Hind, his democracy brain will surely explain *logically* why China should shit itself on Western Media it controls.

Don't believe Merck is going to have manufacturing bases in each country they do business in. That's just a smoke screen. I've been saying this a long time that Western countries are going to have to have two manufacturing bases if they want to do business internationally. One for the US and one in China. That's the only way they can compete internationally if the want to keep making money. The one for the US is about avoiding US and any domestic politics. The one in China is for selling to the rest of the world. What is the US going to do? Tell their companies and their allies' companies where they could only manufacture? If that happened they won't be in business after that. This is the part where they realized threatening to decouple from China was bad for them hence why now they're changing it to de-risking. They still want access to the Chinese consumer market and manufacturing. Without it, they make no money and every one of their products goes skyrocketing in price. Why now? Because Tesla is implementing that model and is selling their cars around the world from their China factory hence why VW is planning to do that and now Merck.

Yup, agree with everything you are saying.

Just like to make one comment.

It is about the timing things, and how things develop.

We could figure out that some many big multinational companies, they will have a production center in China and a production center in America. That could be the future.

What is unclear, is that after the dust settles with these production centers being built and making product, what exactly will be the picture when that happens?

My guess is that China could win big because costs are lower there.

But, until we actually arrive at that point, then a lot can happen still. Such as a pandemic, or some major war.

Soon I expect that these same Western politicians clamoring for decoupling will look at this situation horrified.

Look at the US Commerce Secretary Gina, who has been threatening Nvidia for over a year now.

They threaten Huawei for over 5 years, and now they threaten Nvidia for over 1 year. This is kind of nuts. Is this what they really wanted? LOL!

But, some people still think and wholly believe that this containment of China is somehow working, that there is a new cold war, and this will be a struggle where US has the position of strength.

More like the old world order is dissolving as we read these messages, to be replaced by something that no one really knows.
