With Peter is going to go with this Chinese Doom possibility , he has to analyze and sum the disconnect between Chinese based enterprises and investments abroad and what goes in the proliturbo. Chinese companies and private entrepreneurial investors are setting shop all over the globe and not a consideration from Peter on this. The automotive industry, for instance , is expanding at rapid pace. Maybe it isn’t on his wheelhouse , but it is some sort of disconnect. What’s the deal , oh Great Oracle from Denver ?

@cooldudecs I don’t see it. Most Chinese multinationals are operating outside the USA. The US Government tries to freeze assets on where Chinese companies operate , outside the US , and they would face backlashes from host countries. In fact , the Chinese are creeping up in places American presence has left a void….. In Afghanistan, just as I predicted last year , Chinese entrepreneurs and investors are setting up,shop. There is an hour documentary on this aired at Al-Jazheera. Buying property, building outpost cities over that pile of rocks. And Chinese carpetbaggers trading for stones. It is all known , including by the US Government , who sent the US Survey team before aiding Afghani Mujaheddin in the 80’s , that country is filled to the brim with rare earth metals. And then there is Ford Motors Co , who had three operating plants in Brazil. The last one, a State of of Art Plant in Camaçari ,BA is already bought by BYD. Ford now has to supply its existing dealers with inventory by a truck plant in Argentina and Mexico. Not even spares are left in Brazil. And BYD made clear it wants the remainder Ford Dealerships. In the UK , all those iconic black Taxis are now EVs built by Chery Motors , a Chinese Car Maker. Which also bought the rights to MG brand. And they are sprouting everywhere in Europe. The US base in Saudi Arabia unpacked and left last year. You don’t see the Chinese Government antagonizing with Iranians and Saudi. They are dealing with them. Unheralded to most. Chinese own a considerable stakehold in the Venezuelan Oil Company PEDEVESA. While the sanctions are intact against Russia and Iran , Brazil is trading with Russians ( importing Potash and fertilizers ) , and Iran ( exporting beef and poultry ). And they bartered in the 80’s on VWs passenger cars towards Iraq for their crude. And the BRICs deal, as ill conceived and doomed as it might seem , it gained traction as most other nations have grown suspicious and tired as of America meddling with other countries by weaponizing the US Dollar. After seeing what the US did to Russia , the writing has been on the wall. Peter’s feel good speeches might find resonance in your average American silent majority , but outside America , UK, Australia , and Japan , is a whole new ballgame. Aside all China internal problems , including demography and social unrest , they are making strides at expense of America Global Dominance.
