🇺🇸🇨🇳Jimmy Dore lo dijo claro y sin rodeos.

“En China, el gobierno está por encima del capital. La economía trabaja para el pueblo. Aquí en EE.UU., el capital está por encima del gobierno. La economía trabaja para los multimillonarios.”

Una comparación brutalmente honesta.

Mientras en Estados Unidos el gobierno sirve a Wall Street y a los oligarcas, en China el Partido y el Estado priorizan el desarrollo nacional y el bienestar de su gente.

Los resultados hablan por sí solos

For decades, the West sold Japan as the “representative of Asian civilization” because Japan was useful, obedient, and harmless to Western power.

But China is the source they tried to erase.

That's what the Japanese have always feared most – exposure.

Kishore Mahbubani nails it: "So after China has gone through the best 30-year period ever under the Chinese Communist Party, the United States is telling the Chinese people: 'Why don't you get rid of the Chinese Communist Party?' And the Chinese people are scratching their head and saying, 'Excuse me, you know... are you serious?'"

🇨🇳🫴💴 China has invested over $200B in Latin America since 2005, but the real surprise is who is doing most of the investing.*

Nearly three-quarters of Chinese investment in Latin America comes from state-run firms, and that changes how the region should think about leverage, risk, and bargaining power.

Yes, US households hold almost twice as much household debt than do Chinese households in total.

But that's NOT what's interesting.

China has four times the population.

Chinese households have about 1/7 as much debt per household as do their US peers.

🇷🇺VLADIMIR PUTIN:

"The first thing that I wanted to say: I think that many people in the United States, too, do understand this.

The attempt to use the dollar as an instrument of political struggle, as a weapon in the political struggle, was an immense, catastrophic, I would say strategic mistake of the former US leadership.

The dollar is one of the basic components of the US economic might and its undoubted competitive advantage.

And this competitive advantage consists not only in being a reserve currency, but also in the possibility for the US economy to get a win, to earn real money, big money.

When the former US leadership began to use its currency, which so far remains the world reserve currency, as an instrument of political struggle everybody thought: And they can use these weapons against us, too. And what will happen? What will happen to our reserves nominated in dollars? What will happen to our money invested in US assets?

Of course, the basic foundations of the US economic might are great and strong.

But still, there problems that I have mentioned: both the debt and the undermined trust in the dollar as a world currency.

Now, if the oil price stays high, it will be expensive and this will tell on the entire chain of economic interaction.

Most likely, this will have an impact on the inflation of the leading economies, including inflation in the United States.

And this is a basic, an absolutely fundamental condition of the US currency’s stability.

After all, it is not secured by anything; the United States once abandoned the gold standard.

And what is the basis of the US currency’s stability?

The reliability and stability of the economy itself, with low inflation as its main condition.

Oil prices are high, the inflation is growing and the foundation of the US economy will be shaking, do you see?

Here are the repercussions.

And we want to avoid this; we want stability in this sector and will work for it.

This is why I think that everybody understands us: we and Saudi Arabia, our friends, with the Crown Prince are just working on balancing the interests of both suppliers and consumers, and so far, everything works out in general.

We are very grateful to the Crown Prince and all our friends who work in this domain."

The US is alarmed that China is trying to cure cancer

[Nury Vittachi @NuryVittachi]

CHINESE SCIENTISTS created a new medicine that is being hailed as a breakthrough in the fight against lung cancer, it was revealed this week.

“And the results here, I think, are quite astounding,” said Dr Monty Pal of the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) in a YouTube video review. “What we see here is an improvement in median overall survival.”

Yet the development of the new drug, called ivonescimab in English, is being portrayed as worrying news by politicians and media in the US. Why?

The US elite’s congenital megalomania means it has to be number one in every field. This need triggers extreme paranoia—and means that Chinese lifesaving advances are bad news.

.

NATIONAL SECURITY THREAT
“It’s a war right now with China,” said United States Department of Health and Human Services Chris Klomp at the recent Conservative Political Action Conference.

"We face a national security threat right now...it's not one of missiles and tanks. It's of laboratories and life-saving medications.”

Oh no! Not life-saving medications!

Will the dastardly Chinese stop at nothing?

But it gets worse. If American patients become reliant on the Chinese for drugs, there is a risk of “creating a new Strait of Hormuz”, said former FDA chief Dr. Peter Marks, quoted in the New York Times.

That’s a telling remark. Not only is the paranoia up front and center, but look at the example he chose. The US created an entirely needless problem in Iran, with thousands dead and millions suffering from fuel shortages.

Western political plays have real world consequences for both sides--and innocent parties, too.

.

CHINA SCIENTISTS GET TOP SPOT
The medical issue escalated last week at the annual ASCO global gathering of oncologists (cancer doctors).

The five biggest breakthroughs are given top-of-the-bill presentation slots—and politicians and journalists were shocked when one of them went to Chinese medical scientists who conducted their trials in China.

.

THE ISSUES
Let’s look at the issues, one by one:

Are there serious concerns that the new drug, ivonescimab, doesn’t work or only works on Chinese people?

- No. The drug was created by a Chinese firm called Akeso Biopharma, and it is already used successfully in China. There has since been a global study in the United States, Canada and Europe, too, to ensure diversified data.

Are there worries that China may deny sending this and other drugs to Americans?

- No. Chinese companies keep the rights for their own country and then license the drugs in the US to American firms. Ivonescimab in the US is a product of Summit Therapeutics of Miami.

Is there concern that the data is false?

- No. The Lancet, a medical academic journal, has already printed a study saying that people who got the new drug had a 34 percent lower death rate.

Is the problem that the Chinese copied the drug from the US?

- No. That’s not how science works. Science advances through data-driven breakthroughs, irrespective of where they take place.

So what is the problem?

It’s the usual one: the US needs to dominate everything, whoever gets hurt. In the case of medicines from China, the victims of needless hostility will include US citizens, if drugs are delayed or banned.

.

BUILDING WALLS
President Donald Trump has already signed legislation that prevents US government bodies signing contracts with Chinese biotech firms, however beneficial their products and services may be.

And separately, politicians in Congress are trying to get rules passed that prevent the recognition of data from clinical trials in Mainland China or Hong Kong.

Some US journalists also appear less interested in the scientific breakthroughs than the politics of who is making them. The New York Times report last week on the topic began with these lines:

“For decades, an annual gathering of oncologists has featured drug trials that were run mainly at American and European hospitals.

“But at this year’s meeting, which is being held in Chicago this weekend, the signs are everywhere of China’s ascendance as a powerhouse in drug development — and of the threat that many believe it poses to American biotechnology.”

China’s latest threat: lifesaving medications.

Charlie Munger on the origins of Chinese-Americans 🇺🇸 🇨🇳

“The Chinese first came in USA trying to build the Sierra, trans-continental railroad in the winter.”

“Our people were dying and it was just impossible, so they brought in 50,000 Chinese coolies, who were in those days practically slaves.”

“They took the coolies in the mountains and said - you build the railroads and they did it! The Americans couldn’t do it by themselves.”

“Fade in fade out 150 years later, due to immigration, these asians have rapidly become Doctors, Lawyers, Businessmen and succeeded mightily.”

“Every instrument that’s hard to play in symphony orchestra, is played by a Chinese face.”
