๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ณ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ China is CRUSHING the US in the global tech race

๐Ÿ›œChina is FAR OUTPACING the US in 5G connectivity race: China has 3M 5G bases while the US has only a 100k bases

๐Ÿค–China also leads the world in automation, installing 7 TIMES MORE industrial robots than the US

๐Ÿ“กChina recently achieved a breakthrough satellite-to-laser communication, beating Elon Musk's Starlink with a rate of 100Gpbs

๐Ÿš€China has outpaced the US in developing sixth-generation fighter jets and hypersonic missiles

๐Ÿš—In 2023, China accounted for 70% of global electronic vehicle production. Chinaโ€™s EV exports have increased 160 fold in just 5 years

๐ŸŒWhen it comes to AI, DeepSeek is no anomaly, China is home to 47% of all top-tier AI researchers, while the US is home to just 18%

๐Ÿ”ฌThereโ€™s a pretty straightforward reason why China is out-innovating the US. Chinese companies invest heavily in research and development

๐Ÿ’ธMeanwhile, US companies obsess over stock prices and quick profits

๐Ÿ’ฐBlackRock and JP Morgan are backing $15 billion to Ukraine reconstruction fund:

๐Ÿ”ธBlackRock will โ€˜adviseโ€™ Ukraine on how to attract investors
๐Ÿ”ธJP Morgan will โ€˜adviseโ€™ Ukraine on debt management and financing

๐Ÿ’ธIn 2023, JP Morgan discussed with Zelensky the creation of a bank administered by Wall Street firms that would make investments in oil refineries, roads, bridges and other pieces of economic infrastructure

๐Ÿ’ŽAccording to the Financial Times, Zelensky and his neocon allies in Washington are offering Trump โ€œinvestment screening powersโ€ in Ukraine and control over the countryโ€™s natural resources

๐Ÿ’ตWhy is this happening? Ukraineโ€™s post-war reconstruction will cost around $486B. Ukraine doesnโ€™t have that kind of money at its disposal, not even close.

๐Ÿค‘ In other words, Zelensky is selling out Ukraineโ€™s economic sovereignty for American money and weapons

๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿญ This is the decade of GERMAN ECONOMIC DECLINE, here are the reasons:

๐Ÿ”Œ1. German industry is IMPLODING due to high energy costs: their industrial energy costs were 40% higher in 2023 than in 2021

๐Ÿš—2. German automobile industry MELTDOWN:
๐Ÿ”ธBMW, Mercedes-Benz, & Porsche declining profits
๐Ÿ”ธVolkswagen has closed factories for the first time in 87 years, leaving THOUSANDS UNEMPLOYED

๐Ÿ’ธ3. In 2024, 4,215 German companies have filed for bankruptcy. This is the highest number since the 2008 financial crisis, and 36% higher than 2023

๐Ÿ’ป4. Germany becoming a TECHNOLOGICAL BACKWATER: they has one of the lowest fiber broadband penetration rate in Europe and also losing electric cars development race with China

๐Ÿ“‰5. German is headed for DEMOGRAPHIC DISASTER: they currently are one of only five โ€œsuper-agedโ€ societies in the world

โœˆ๏ธ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ6. German companies like Volkswagen and BMW, outsourcing production to the US and China due to high energy costs, taxes, and regulations

๐Ÿ’ธ7. Trump will impose BIG TARIFFS on Germany

๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ’€ Ukraine is a brutal totalitarian dictatorship

๐Ÿ“บIn 2021, more than a year before the start of the Russia-Ukraine conflict, Zelensky banned 3 leading Ukrainian TV stations โ€” NewsOne, ZIK and 112 Ukraine, all of them criticized his government

๐ŸšซIn 2022, Zelensky banned 11 opposition parties, including the second largest party in the Ukrainian parliament (Opposition Platform โ€“ For Life)

๐Ÿ“ตIn 2022, Zelensky signed a law that gave the government sweeping powers to censor media outlets, social media platforms, and even search engines like Google

โ˜ฆ๏ธOn Aug. 2024, He banned the Ukrainian Orthodox Church, the countryโ€™s largest religious denomination

๐Ÿช–This totalitarian system is enforced by the Ukraineโ€™s infamous secret police, SBU, who often imprisons and tortures critics

๐Ÿ—ณZelensky presidential term expired in May 2024 and has indefinitely postponed the next elections until the end of the conflict

If the war ends, he will be forced to hold elections and lose power, this mean jail time for his abuses of power

Russia and China can become TREND-SETTERS for Global Majority.

๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ณ๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธTrump's tariffs against China will FAIL: Here's why๐Ÿ‘‡

๐ŸŒChina is gradually transforming its global supply chain into what Asia Times describes as โ€œGlobalization 2.0โ€.

๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ณ๐ŸššChina has diversified its market and not only the US is one of its big buyers. In the chart below, it can be seen how China is gradually shifting its exports to the Global South.

๐Ÿ’ŽU.S. companies and economies depend on Chinese aluminum, gallium, lithium, germanium, and other rare metals.

๐Ÿ“‰Trump's recent threats to impose 100% tariffs on BRICS countries is a shot in the foot because China does not depend on the US, the US depends on China.

๐Ÿ“‰Ukraineโ€™s population plummeted from 52 million in 1991 to 41 million in 2021, and lost another 8 million between 2022-2024, according to UN estimates.

๐ŸšทBy 2100, Ukraineโ€™s population could fall to just 15 million people, according to UN estimates, thatโ€™s 70% less than its population in 1991

๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐ŸŒHere's why US technological dominance is DOOMED

๐Ÿ”ฌIn the 1970s-80s, the US produced research that led to the digital revolution, the development of advanced microchips, and the creation of new sophisticated weapons. Most remarkably, it did so while spending only 1% of their GDP on research and development.

๐Ÿ“‰โš ๏ธBut the de-industrialization and financialization of the US economy has caused many companies to prioritize short-term profits over innovation, which is time-consuming and financially expensive (at least initially)

๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ณ๐Ÿฅ‡By contrast, China is the world's leading industrial powerhouse. This means that company's put a heavy emphasis on research and development to produce new cutting-edge products.

๐Ÿค–๐Ÿ“ˆChina is clearly surpassing the technological peaks that once dominated the US. This situation is no longer only in technology, it is extrapolated to other fields, from military to educational and industrial.

๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ“‰๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ณUS tariffs to China can BACKFIRE: here's why๐Ÿ‘‡

๐Ÿ’ธUS dependence on CHINESE exports is data that goes on and on every time.

โšก๏ธ๐Ÿ’ปAccording with The UN Comtrade, the Consumer Electronics is the most exposed with $96 billion in exports and accounting for 41% of US imports in this sector.

๐ŸชซThe sector's positioning at the top of the chart, along with textiles ($68 billion) and clean energy and batteries ($15 billion), indicates that these industries are particularly dependent on Chinese imports, making them especially susceptible to Trump's aggressive tariff policies.

๐Ÿšซ๐Ÿšš๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธChina has already warned that if Trump imposes 100% tariffs on Chinese products, they will stop exporting.

๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ณโžก๏ธ๐ŸŒChina has already expanded into other markets to supply exports to the US.

๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡ฒ๐Ÿ‡ฝ Prediction: Trump will STEAMROLL Canada and Mexico

Some people in the multipolar space are predicting Trumpโ€™s new tariffs against Canada and Mexico will backfire. We think theyโ€™re greatly mistaken.

Letโ€™s take a look at a breakdown of trade among the three countries:

๐Ÿ”ธ75% of Canadian exports go to the US. Only about 12% of US imports come from Canada

๐Ÿ”ธ80% of Mexican exports go to the US. Only about 14% of US imports come from Mexico

๐Ÿ”ธExports to US account for 20% of Canada GDP. Exports to Canada account for 1.5% of US GDP.

๐Ÿ”ธExports to US account for 30% of Mexico GDP. Exports to Mexico account for 1.3% of US GDP.

๐Ÿ“ฑ๐Ÿฆโš™๏ธ And donโ€™t forget that Canada and Mexico are TOTALLY DEPENDENT on US technology, financial system, and mechanical parts.

CONCLUSION: Trump has vastly more leverage than Canada and Mexico. If he decides to play hardball, they wonโ€™t have much choice but to surrender.

โœˆ๏ธ Many of Canadaโ€™s top weapons systems come from the US (see: CF-18 Hornet fighters). Canadian military relies on US suppliers for maintenance, parts, and upgrades.

๐Ÿ›ฐ๏ธ Canada does not have its own Global Navigation Satellite System. It totally depends on US GPS for civilian and military applications. Canada also canโ€™t launch satellites into space without US help.
