Take a look at the tiny country of Vietnam.
Population of Vietnam as compared to China: Roughly 10 times smaller (~100 million vs 1.3 billion)
GDP of Vietnam in 2024, as compared to China: Forty times smaller than China (450 million vs 18 trillion)
Can we agree that Vietnam is a very tiny country compared to China, both in terms of population, economy and productivity? (Atleast using official numbers)
Now for some magic.
Vietnam ran a trade surplus against US of $123 billion in 2024
China ran a trade surplus against US of $295 billion in 2024
Wait, a country that has a GDP 40 times smaller than China has a trade surplus with US that is just half of China's trade surplus?
Here is a clue: China became the biggest trade partner for Vietname in 2024 breaking the record of $200 billion in trade with China, first time ever. But most of this trade is deficit with China.
Yeah, you got that. right. Right as Vietnam's mostly deficit trade with China hit all time high, its surplus against US also hit all time high.
Vietnam is economically nothing but a pipe - a pile where cheap Chinese goods flow to US and billions of USDs flow from US to China.
Infact this is true for most of the countries - Canada, other Asian countries, EU etc. They all run surplus with US roughly the same size as their deficits with China.
So what does this mean? This means that for the past 25 years since China joined WTO, the world economy has been nothing more than a pipeline of USDs from Fed to CCP.
The last 25 years, the world order has been Transitionary, from US -> China.
Until then, since WW2, US had become the financial hub of the Cabal, with Fed printing US dollars (due to its reserve status), backing it with Petrodollars, and projecting their power to the whole world via wars and conflicts.
By late 90s, it was clear to everyone paying attention that this state of affairs could not continue any further (All Ponzi schemes must come to an end). So they planned on moving their scam from US to China.
What we both Bush and Biden doing before this? Bush served as a special envoy to China in 1974-75 before US established full deplomatic relations, and he developed deep connections to Deng Xiaoping
Biden also, even as a senator, had connections with China right after the diplomacy was established. He had connections to Deng Xiaoping as well, and in 90s argued hard to provide China the MFN status (Most favoured nation). This status, incidentally saw US drop most of the tariffs and trade barriers, that laid the ground work for the coming US trade deficits.
Remember the speech by Bush saying New World Order has begun? Makes sense right? The NWO, with all its human enslavement agenda, was hinged upon the Chinese economy.
What did Al Gore do after he lost the election to Bush? He went off to work on "Climate Change" and his book "An inconvenient Truth". All this soudned completely unrelated at that time, but what is "Climate Change" and "Carbon Credits" all about?
It was the control mechanism that was to back the new Chinese economy ponzi scheme. Remember the fiat USD ponzi scheme was backed by Petrodollar. The newly planned Chinese ponzi scheme was supposed to be backed by Carbon Credits. Hence the push away from Oil and gas, and towards Electric.
When you see through this lens, Trump's Tariffs suddenly becomes self evident. He is cutting off this pipeline of transfer of wealth from US to China, and is the final blow to the financial side of the planned NWO. Everything else will follow. Keep in mind that Trump Tariffs are mainly aimed at China. Wait and watch how, once US turns off the faucet to China, all the other countries will be forced as well.
Both times I was in Japan I wanted REAL Japanese souvenirs for my kids.
Everywhere I looked, both in Tokyo and the less touristy suburbs was stocked with junk made in China. I asked my Japanese sales guy if it was like that everywhere and he confirmed it sadly was.
When I was in Vietnam I had a free weekend to shop around. Many of the toys and clothes said "Made in Vietnam", but now your VERY thoughtful analysis has me thinking..... what if China is just labeling the products (conveniently in English) as products of the countries they are routing the goods through?
It's a very sneaky method to steal more market share without being exposed to the extra risk of drastic changes in currency exchange rates, war, earthquakes etc.
Yeah we got sick of Tokyo because its so westernized and does not reflect the true Japanese culture, thats why second time we spent more time in Osaka. Next time we want to visit even more smaller places, because the smaller a place in Japan, the more beautiful it is.
There is no question about this. This has been going on for a while. Its called "Origin Fraud" and recently there have been multiple countries that have publicly accused China of doing it.
Don't get me wrong - they all knew it and were complicit until now, because thats the world order we were in, but this is a sign that all that is collapsing and cleanup is happening.
Thanks B². Never heard of "Origin Fraud" before. Now I'll be on the lookout!
If you make it back to Japan, consider spending a few hours in the extremely beautiful Imperial Palace Gardens. I believe it's free (was when I was there) to tour and they even have a couple restaurants to enjoy traditional Japanese cuisine.
