A new report revealed that American officials believe China is helping Iran in the war with the United States and Israel.

According to The New York Times, U.S. intelligence agencies believe China sent shoulder-fired missiles to Iran. The weapons can be used to down low-flying planes.

The report said the intelligence has some uncertainty, and it is also not clear if Chinese missiles were used in Iran’s recent attacks on U.S. or Israeli targets.

The report said American officials believe China, which heavily controls its private sector, is allowing chemicals, fuel, and parts for weapons to be sent to Iran.

A representative of the Chinese embassy said, “China has never provided weapons to any party to the conflict; the information in question is untrue.”

“As a responsible major country, China consistently fulfills its international obligations. We urge the U.S. side to refrain from making baseless allegations, maliciously drawing connections, and engaging in sensationalism; we hope that relevant parties will do more to help de-escalate tensions,” the representative said.

How are they going to get there?

Good article. Interesting leads.

But his conclusion is not quite there.

It is about who controls the supply chain that makes the computers that will run the world for the next fifty years. And right now, the only country positioned to control that supply chain is China. Every piece of this benefits China.

While saying at the time: It is only a small production facility. And China needs the Siberia-2 Pipeline ....

Quatari production (think of Quatar role in Syria War, funding of terrorism, etc) is hampered. A new production facility would be at least 5 years out.

A pipeline is built in less than that?

So, who really is the 400 pound Helium Gorilla? https://worldpopulationreview.com/state-rankings/helium-production-by-state

So, while the writer tries to placate Trump as a Manchurian Candidate [which is Obama], his conclusions are all wrong! His framework is wrong.

He points to ASML and quite correctly. This is a Dutch company, born from Philips and Tech Uni: Eindhoven. This is one of the pillars of secret Dutch power. It explains why the Dutch moved against certain interest in China in relation to ASML.

This is not about product primarily. This is about the control of pricing, the financialization of it, creating an economy of scarcity, whereas we should be in an economy of abundance.

FAFO

Just conjecture and nothing beyond that.

Useless
