PRC Tariffs Announced!

China: Plans to Add Counter-Tariffs on US Products Announced! (5.2.2025)

Luo Zhiheng, chief economist at Yuekai Securities, said China should resort to effective countermeasures against any tariff threats by the White House, while optimizing domestic policies and anchoring market expectations.

“Based on the experiences gained during the first Trump administration, China can utilize measures such as imposing additional tariffs and export controls to counter trade threats from the U.S.,” Luo said.

He added that China should continue to broaden the list of sanctioned goods and entities, and increase Beijing’s negotiation leverage with Washington.

Given heightened global uncertainties, China should scale up the intensity of its fiscal and monetary policies, actively expand domestic demand to counter any potential downturns in external demand, and steadily push forward high-level opening-up, expand networks with trade partners and diversify its trade portfolios, Luo said.

Australia Supports Zionism!

Australia: Coals from Newcastle Feed the Zionist Beast! (13.11.2024)

Anyone remember the Australian aid worker Zomi Frankcom who was killed by the Zionist entity in Gaza earlier this year? You would think the Australian government would hold the Zionist entity to account for killing it’s own citizen but until this day, there has been no accountability/retribution and better yet, they continue to be complicit in the genocide of our brothers and sisters in Gaza. What can you expect when this capitalist system values profit over human life even at the expense of its own citizens.

EU: Von der Leyen Anti-Socialist Speech! 14.9.2023)

Qin Yan, a carbon analyst based in Oslo with financial data provider Refinitiv, said Von der Leyen emphasized staying course on Green Deal, but did not mention many concrete measures.

“Instead, she has continued to tone on ‘de-risking’ from China and solid supply chain etc, and the launch of an anti-subsidy investigation of Chinese EVs, as France requested,” Qin said.

“So this is more of a campaign speech with lots of China bashing than delivering concrete measures regarding the Green Deal.”

Ryszard Legutko, co-chair of the European Conservatives and Reformists, lashed out in front of von der Leyen.

“Is the EU in better shape today than 15 years ago? The answer is an emphatic no,” he said. “Something is rotten in the State of the Union. There is more than ever instability, tension and uncertainty.”

“As expected lots of self-congratulatory statements,” Bas Eickhout, a Dutch MEP of the Greens Group, wrote on X.

“But for the future? Very meager on Green Deal, lots of competitiveness bullshit bingo and very many dialogues. This is more an EPP Spitzenkandidatin speech …” he said, clearly referring to von der Leyen who has come under great pressure under her own European People’s Party on climate and migration policies.
