  1. There are organized crime syndicates in every country, including yours.

  2. 13:00 "One of the two investors who considered investing in our company fell asleep during my presentation. We didn't take their money". 😂😂😂

  3. There are so many comments like this, basically claiming that our governments are just as bad, or even worse, than criminals. Is that what you really believe, or are you just being a bit cynical?

  4. But how do you get your un-laundered cash into an online casino? If it's online, the money transfer would have to happen electronically, so first you have to get your dirty cash into the financial system. That seems to be the sticking point.

  5.  @xypzs5123  "in position to know the truth". Just to humor you, what position is that? And what is that truth you're talking about? Perhaps you'd care to share it here in detail?

  6.  @christinewillis7545  Wake up to what? I'm well aware of the problems facing society. Those problems aren't new. Problems are there to be solved. Better if you propose a solution.

  7.  @christinewillis7545  I thought you were going to provide solutions to society's problems, not just repeat what this doc said about underground money transfers.

  8. The market value of SMIC also went down. How do you explain that? Could it be that market values of all these tech companies are only remotely related to the Huawei Mate 60?

  9.  @whiteknuckles  Yes, you're right. SMIC did go up in the days immediately following Aug. 29, from HKD19 to 22, and then it fell again to HKD20 today. ASML has fallen 12% since Aug.29, but it was already on a downward trajectory since mid-July, so it's pretty speculative to make any connection to the Mate 60 or SMIC. SMIC up 145% in 5 years. ASML up 210% in 5 years.

  10. I think the new aspect is how the currency swaps don't actually involve moving any money. RMB only circulate within China, and USD only circulate within the US, but still everybody manages to move their money across borders.

  11. Absolutely fascinating story!

  12.  @ericshang7744  "they got ports, airports, pipelines and rail roads in the end." Yes, but those are not gifts. They bought them with their own money, though money borrowed from foreign banks.

  13.  @ericshang7744  Ok, I misunderstood your comment. There are plenty of other countries supplying loans to developing countries for infrastructure projects, but at the moment, China is by far the largest. China is also willing to supply loans to projects that other countries might shy away from because they think it is too risky. China is more willing to take that risk.

  14.  @heybudstfunow  But how? That's the question.

  15.  @heybudstfunow  For a second I thought you had a real question. Turns out you're just trolling. Feel free to continue.

  16.  @dylreesYT  "What's BaaS stand for?" I think it's "Batteries as a Service", as in swapping batteries when you need it. It could work, but one problem is that each brand, each model will have a different size/shape of battery.

  17. Another commenter mentioned the instant noodles. In fairness, they are used in cooking all over East- and South East Asia.

  18. The Chinese got mad at the British for the opium trade, and now they don't understand why the British are mad, too?

  19. And because she was wrongly convicted, you distrust everything the Italian authorities say in this report? Isn't that a little extreme?
