Consumer spending wanes so drastically that:
1) social media influencers get back at their penny-pitching ex-lovers;
2) the internet ads platform (not a real e-commerce) scrambles for IPO.

Beijing just snatched an American scholar at a Chinese airport on espionage charges, blowing up recent efforts to stabilize U.S.-China relations. On June 12, 2026, China's Foreign Ministry confirmed the criminal detention of Min Zin, a prominent U.S. citizen and leading political scientist, for allegedly endangering national security. Security forces quietly intercepted him on June 3 at Kunming airport after he arrived in southwestern China to attend an academic meeting.
The aggressive arrest occurred exactly two weeks after a high-profile summit between President Trump and Xi Jinping in Beijing aimed at easing bilateral friction. Min Zin is a high-value target with deep expertise in regional dynamics. A former student activist from Myanmar's 1988 pro-democracy movement, he is currently a UC Berkeley PhD candidate and the executive director of ISP-Myanmar. His independent think tank is renowned for publishing sensitive research tracking Myanmar's bloody civil war and exposing China's extensive strategic influence, trade manipulations, and rare earth exploitation along the volatile border.
This detention underscores a terrifying pattern of hostage diplomacy, with roughly 200 Americans currently facing detention or strict exit bans inside China. While the U.S. Consulate General in Guangzhou scrambles to secure consular access, Min Zin's arrest sends a chilling message to the international community. In Xi Jinping's China, merely analyzing regional geopolitical ambitions can carry an incredibly dangerous price.

All 🇨🇳 hospitals had claimed that she could have less than 3 years without surgery.
The end of the story, my friend donated USD 200k to specific research and projects led by that chief physician in Mayo.
My pal's 78-year old mom had a tumor & they visited top tier hospitals around 🇨🇳.
All recommended surgery.
He flew to Mayo Clinic for one last try before her surgery.
The chief physician told him no surgery will serve her best + prescribed drugs just in case.
His mom is now 85.
Inflation? Tech stocks.
You could pick gold as a derisking or hedging strategy against geopolitical conflicts (20% position at most).
But never bet against the U.S.
Let's see if the leaders of gold buyers/ manipulators are still on their throne 6 months later (2027).🤣
@business What makes gold get value is inflation. I still can’t catch how the market is thinking. This is just another manipulation, you will see it 6 months later.
1) capture of a drug dealer ≠ war; 2) decapitation of terrorists ≠ war;
3) separation of powers: ①legislative, ②executive, ③judicial.
It's fine for the executive office to be competent and hardcore under one real leader.
