PRESIDENT RAMAPHOSA ARRIVES IN ITALY FOR A WORKING VISIT TO THE HOLY SEE 🇿🇦His Excellency President Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 has this morning, Friday 7 November 2025, arrived in Rome, Italy for a working visit to the Holy See. South Africa and the Holy See have cordial bilateral relations and the visit by President Ramaphosa serves as an opportunity to discuss a renewed focus on collaboration in humanitarian aid, climate justice, emergency response, and peace building. The Holy See has diplomatic ties with over 180 countries and observer status at major international bodies like the United Nations and holds significant global influence through its moral, religious, and diplomatic authority. South Africa and the Holy See have a long history of diplomatic relations that was formally established in 1994. South Africa values the warm and respectful relations it has enjoyed with the Holy See over the years. The meeting with His Holiness Pope Leo XIV is of particular significance as it represents South Africa’s first high-level engagement with the newly appointed Pontiff. His ascension to the papacy on 08 May 2025 provides an important opportunity to reaffirm and strengthen bilateral relations with the Holy See. The South African concept of Ubuntu, which emphasizes interconnectedness, shared humanity, and humanity towards others, aligns with the Pope’s calls for a more compassionate, loving, peaceful and inclusive global community.

Islamabad : 28 July 2026. A U.S. Congressional delegation, comprising Rep. Ryan Zinke and Rep. Michael Baumgartener, called on Prime Minister Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif at the Prime Minister House this afternoon. Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Senator Mohammad Ishaq Dar, Foreign Secretary Ambassador Amna Baloch, and U.S. Chargé d’Affaires Ms. Natalie Baker were also present. During the meeting, the Prime Minister welcomed both U.S. Congressmen to Pakistan and said that their visit was a welcome step towards building stronger Pakistan-U.S. ties. While congratulating the Congressmen and the American people on the 250th anniversary of U.S. Independence, the Prime Minister also conveyed his warm regards and best wishes for President Donald Trump. The Prime Minister fondly recalled President Trump’s bold and decisive intervention that led to cessation of hostilities and ceasefire between Pakistan and India in May 2025, and helped saved hundreds of millions of lives. On bilateral relations, the Prime Minister said that Pakistan was keen to further strengthen its cooperation with the U.S. in trade, investment, agriculture, IT, mines & minerals and the energy sector. Both Congressmen thanked the Prime Minister for the warm hospitality extended to them during their visit. They noted that President Trump enjoyed excellent relations with the Pakistani leadership, which was also having a positive impact on the bilateral ties. They praised the Prime Minister for Pakistan’s leading role in regional peace efforts. The two sides agreed to increase the number and frequency of visits by Congressional delegations to Pakistan as well as visits of parliamentary delegations to the U.S. After the meeting, the Prime Minister hosted a reception in honor of a delegation of U.S. corporate sector executives who are visiting Pakistan. The delegation includes representatives of diverse sectors including IT and technology, energy, mining and manufacturing. Welcoming the delegation, the Prime Minister reaffirmed Pakistan’s commitment to strengthening its longstanding partnership with the U.S., emphasizing that economic cooperation remains a central pillar of bilateral ties. He invited more U.S. companies to invest in Pakistan in mutually beneficial ventures across a wide range of sectors. During their warm and most cordial exchange, the Prime Minister underscored that the Pakistani American diaspora, well represented among the visiting U.S. business delegation, constitutes a vital bridge between Pakistan and the United States. The reception was also attended by Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Senator Mohammad Ishaq Dar, Federal Ministers, and senior government officials.

🇰🇷🇮🇷| Prisoner Transfer Agreement: Behind South Korea’s "Humanitarian" Facade Lie a $7 Billion Debt and a 26-Day Oil Lifeline Iranian Foreign Minister Araghchi and South Korean Foreign Minister Cho Tae-yul signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) on prisoner transfers on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly in New York. While official statements hailed this as "progress in bilateral relations," the real progress lies not in prisons, but in bank accounts. 💰 First, South Korea has owed this debt for seven years. In 2018, the US withdrew from the Iran nuclear deal and reimposed sanctions on Iran. South Korea immediately froze $7 billion in oil payments owed to Iran; funds intended for Iranian crude oil purchases that were held in won-denominated accounts under the name of the Central Bank of Iran. The freeze lasted for years, spanning the global pandemic; during this time, South Korean banks even refused Iran’s requests to use the funds to purchase vaccines. The funds were later transferred to accounts in Qatar but remained frozen. Iran was further infuriated to discover that, due to the significant depreciation of the South Korean won during the freeze, the value of the funds had shrunk by nearly $1 billion by the time they were finally "unfrozen." Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Bagheri made the position clear to his South Korean counterpart in Vienna: "Regardless of the negotiation outcomes, the South Korean government is obligated to release the frozen Iranian funds. Unilateral US sanctions cannot justify a failure to repay debts owed to Iran." He further warned that South Korea's "illegal and unreasonable refusal" would become a "stain" on the history of relations between the two nations. ⚓ Second, South Korea crossed a red line by considering troop deployments to the Strait of Hormuz. In early September 2026, Washington pressured South Korea to "contribute to freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz." South Korean media reported that Seoul was inclined to deploy troops and was finalizing details in preparation for seeking parliamentary approval. Iran’s response was direct.and written in Korean. On September 7, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Baghaei posted a message in Korean on social media: "Any country deploying troops to the Persian Gulf or the Strait of Hormuz will be viewed as directly supporting the 'crimes of aggression' committed by the US military. If South Korea yields to US intimidation and pressure, it will face 'extremely serious consequences'." South Korea’s stance did a complete 180-degree turn that same day. The South Korean Foreign Ministry shifted its tone, stating it was "in close communication with relevant countries," while a senior official from the presidential office indicated that "no final decision has been made yet." Even if support were provided, it would likely be limited to "non-combat and search-and-rescue forces." The prevailing sentiment was: "As long as we don't directly participate in US combat operations or directly antagonize Iran, we should be fine." 🛢️ Third, South Korea’s Achilles' heel: 26 days of oil reserves Why did South Korea back down so quickly? Detailed calculations by think tanks like CSIS reveal that South Korea relies on the Strait of Hormuz for 70% of its crude oil imports. Currently, 26 South Korean oil tankers remain trapped in the Persian Gulf, unable to exit. The South Korean government's strategic oil reserves are likely sufficient to cover only 26 days of actual consumption. A CSIS report noted: "No non-combatant nation would be hit harder than South Korea." Iran’s ambassador to South Korea had previously stated: "South Korea is not an enemy of Iran, but the South Korean side must consult with the Iranian government and military in advance for South Korean vessels to pass through the Strait of Hormuz." Translation: I decide whether your ships can pass. 🔗 Fourth, the true meaning of the prisoner transfer agreement: Just the tip of the iceberg When looking at the prisoner transfer agreement, don't focus on what is written; focus on what is *not* written. What is missing: ◾When the $7 billion in frozen assets will be released. ◾When South Korean oil tankers can leave the Persian Gulf. ◾Whether South Korea has pledged not to deploy troops to the Strait of Hormuz. ◾ Whether South Korea will resume importing Iranian crude oil. What *is* written: The two countries may transfer their respective citizens who have been convicted of crimes. It is a technical, low-sensitivity "humanitarian" agreement that could be signed publicly. This was a way for Iran to offer South Korea a face-saving exit. After all, didn't you want to "improve relations" with us? First, a largely symbolic agreement is signed to save face for both sides. However, the real issues are the $7 billion, the 26 oil tankers, and the 26-day oil reserve are not addressed in this agreement. 🎭 Fifth, on a deeper level: South Korea is a "hostage" of the US sanctions regime. South Korea did not freeze Iranian assets "voluntarily"; it is locked in by OFAC regulations and the US dollar system. South Korean banks cannot conduct dollar-denominated transactions with Iran, unfreeze Iranian assets, or provide financial services to Iran. In the face of the US dollar, South Korea's sovereignty is hollow. Iran is fully aware of this. That is why Iran did not "declare war" on South Korea. Instead, Iran exploited South Korea's vulnerabilities: "Your oil lifeline is in my hands, your tankers are trapped in my strait, and your 26-day reserve is on a countdown. If you try to send troops, I will ensure you cannot ship out a single drop of oil." South Korea chose to "de-escalate." It did not send troops; it signed a prisoner transfer agreement. It sought to secure at minimal cost, an assurance that Iran would not "strangle" it at the Strait of Hormuz.

Prime Minister Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif reaffirmed Pakistan’s commitment to further strengthening its all-weather strategic cooperative partnership with China, describing the enduring bilateral friendship as a bond built on mutual trust, unwavering support and deep affinity between their peoples. Addressing a reception hosted to mark the 77th anniversary of the founding of the People’s Republic of China, the prime minister stated that this year Pakistan and China were celebrating the 75th anniversary of the establishment of their diplomatic relations. The prime minister extended felicitations to President Xi Jinping and the Chinese people on the occasion and said that the celebration of China's Founding Day was always close to the hearts of Pakistani people. He said China’s historic transformation and its growing contribution to global peace, stability and development continued to inspire countries around the world, particularly Pakistan. He also expressed Pakistan’s full endorsement of President Xi Jinping’s Global Development Initiative, Global Security Initiative, Global Civilization Initiative and Global Governance Initiative, describing them as foundational pillars of a shared future for mankind. Prime Minister Shehbaz said the Pakistan-China relationship had grown over seven and a half decades into a special bond based on mutual trust, mutual support and close ties between the two peoples. “Pakistan takes immense pride in our All-Weather Strategic Cooperative Partnership with China,” he said, adding that the countries’ “iron-clad friendship” had stood the test of time. He said the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) was a powerful expression of the enduring friendship and shared commitment to a more prosperous future for the two countries. The prime minister said Pakistan and China were now transitioning towards the next phase, CPEC 2.0, with enhanced focus on industrialization, special economic zones, information technology and artificial intelligence, agriculture, and mines and minerals. He particularly highlighted progress in agricultural cooperation, saying the first group of 1,000 Pakistani agriculture graduates had completed their training in China, while another 1,000 were ready to follow. He described the initiative as a valuable investment in the skills and future of Pakistani youth. Prime Minister Shehbaz said Pakistan-China relations were the “anchor” of Pakistan’s foreign policy and had been nurtured by successive generations of leaders. Recalling his meeting with President Xi Jinping in Beijing in May, he said their warm and productive discussions had reaffirmed the enduring friendship between the two countries. He said Pakistan remained fully committed to implementing the important consensus reached between the leadership of the two countries for the mutual benefit of their peoples. He reiterated Pakistan’s resolve to continue moving forward hand in hand with China towards building an ever-closer Pakistan-China Community with a Shared Future in the New Era. Speaking on the occasion, Chinese Ambassador to Pakistan Jiang Zaidong described China and Pakistan as “all-weather strategic cooperative partners and ironclad brothers” and welcomed the growing resilience and vitality of Pakistan’s economy under Prime Minister Shehbaz’s leadership. He said this year marked the 75th anniversary of China-Pakistan diplomatic relations, adding that the journey of the past 75 years had demonstrated that the two countries were friends who had been supporting each other through thick and thin. 1/2

#WATCH | Delhi: On Pakistan-Poland relations, Dr. Piotr Antoni Świtalski, Poland's Ambassador to India, says, "Concerning Pakistan, the President referred to the reports that Polish drones were used against Pakistani infrastructure in the first days and hours of the Operation Sindoor. There were reports by Indian and Pakistani sources. They shot down some of the Polish drones... I suspect they were simply used as decoys, and they were training drones... we have diplomatic relations with Pakistan. We maintain contact. We have some economic interests, although other Western European countries are much more engaged than us in the economy of Pakistan... It's undeniable that Polish pilots built the air force of Pakistan after separation. They had no job, and they were hired by Pakistan. But on the other hand, Polish tanks were used by the Indian army to liberate Bangladesh. It's a famous story... Poland was the third country in the world to recognize the independence of Bangladesh. So clearly, we were on your side." He adds, "On the question of terrorism, we are on your side because we are victims of terrorism. We cannot compare because the terrorist attacks committed against the Indian soulS in the past years, including in Kashmir in 2025, were terrible. Nothing comparable happened in Poland... We support your right to pursue terrorists everywhere they go because our policy on that is very clear, and we said it openly... I spent Easter last year in Kashmir, and I left Srinagar the night before the terrorist attack. I was supposed to go the other day. So it's very personal... when I hear some statements using the Pakistani factor to attack Poland, I'm really very surprised. I suspect sometimes a kind of foreign agenda behind it."

//The Wire//2300Z July 6, 2026// //ROUTINE// //BLUF: CHINA AND NORTH KOREA CONDUCT MISSILE TESTS IN PACIFIC. RUSSIA AND UKRAINE CONDUCT MAJOR TARGETING EFFORTS. INDONESIAN MILITARY RECOVERS REMAINS OF AMERICAN PILOT KILLED IN AMBUSH OVER THE WEEKEND.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE----- -International Events- Far East: Multiple missile tests were reported over the weekend, with both North Korea and China conducting tests of long-range munitions. North Korea tested a total of 12x cruise missiles from the KANG KON, the Choe Hyon-class Destroyer which is the newest addition to the Korean People's Navy. In China, a submarine-launched ballistic missile test was carried out at an undisclosed location in the Pacific, marking the first test of a SLBM by China in several years. Europe: The war in Ukraine escalated over the weekend as Russia renewed strikes on Ukrainian infrastructure. On Saturday, Ukrainian forces conducted more long-range drone attacks on Russian oil depots, most notably the Ust-Luga oil terminal in St. Petersburg. Separately, a different series of drone attacks struck various refineries in the Omsk region, deep within Russia. In response, Russia has conducted several strikes throughout Kiev, including the Vishnyovoye fuel depot on the southwestern outskirts of Kiev, which resulted in an extremely large fire. NASA's space-based fire detection sensors noted one very large fire at this fuel depot, along with a few smaller fires throughout the city that are anomalies from normal heat signatures in the region. In addition to the fuel depot, an ammo dump was co-located with this facility, which was used to store American tank rounds which contained depleted uranium penetrators, along with components for the production of cluster munitions which also contained depleted uranium. Analyst Comment: Depleted uranium tank rounds are about 40% less radioactive than raw uranium that is mined out of the ground, so the radiological nature of this ammunition is not normally a concern. However, this risk changes substantially if it's on fire as the smoke produced by burning uranium does indeed present a radiological hazard, thus the evacuations. This ammunition storage area was located in a densely populated residential area, with the resulting fires prompting the evacuation of roughly 600x residents. Indonesia: Over the weekend, Indonesian troops conducted an operation to recover the remains of an American civilian pilot who was killed by armed rebels in a remote town high in the mountains southeast of Wamena on the island of West Papua. Nicholas F. Goselin was a bush pilot flying supplies and materiel into Balinggama Airstrip when he was ambushed last Thursday. The attack was carried out by the West Papua Liberation Army (TPNPB), a separatist movement that has been seeking independence from Indonesia for a few decades. The rebels allowed Goselin to land, before murdering him on the airstrip and burning his aircraft. At the time of the ambush, a total of 7x passengers (local Indonesian villagers) were allegedly onboard the aircraft and their status is unknown. -----END TEARLINE----- Analyst Comments: According to the armed rebels in Indonesia, the reason for the murder is due to Goselin allegedly shuttling Indonesian special forces into the region to fight the rebels. An American bush pilot landing at sketchy airstrips, alone, in the middle of a war-torn region high in the mountains is not a particularly safe career choice, and it's not clear as to what prompted the rebels to conduct this attack. The rebel group has claimed that they warned the aircraft not to land, but the airline that Goselin was flying for (PT AMA) made no mention of acknowledging any no-fly zones declared by armed groups. In any case, due to the death of an American, the Indonesian military is likely to crack down hard on this region over the next few weeks, in order to prevent rebel groups from capitalizing on their power-projection operations. Back in April, the United States signed a non-binding "defensive cooperation partnership" with Indonesia as Washington sought to increase relations by way of undermining Chinese expansion in the region. On April 13th of this year, one day before the defense pact was signed, Indonesian media reported that their nation was discussing (or had already agreed to) allowing American military access to their airspace.

OPEN LETTER TO MADAM PRESIDENT Your excellency, President Samia Suluhu, I hope this letter reaches you in good health. I intended to share with you these wise words from Ali Mufuruki, a prominent figure from our country, who, I believe, is now observing from the afterlife with disapproval. When you took office in 2021, the national debt was 59 trillion. Within just three years, the national debt now stands at over 90 trillion. It took us 60 years of independence and five presidents to accumulate a debt of 59 trillion, but you have added over 30 trillion in just three years. Recently, you borrowed 6.5 trillion from Korea. In the 2024/25 budget, you plan to borrow another 5 trillion. Where are you taking us? When Job Ndugai said that one day we will be auctioned off due to this borrowing habit, you stripped him of the speaker position. Instead of devising strategies to achieve economic independence, you are striving to ensure that we continue to be captives of big nations forever and ever. Mwalimu Nyerere stated in the Arusha Declaration, “true self-governance cannot be achieved if one nation depends on aid and loans from another nation.” John Perkins in Economic Hitman has clearly explained to us that loans and aid are the methods used by powerful nations to create eternal slaves and expand their empires. Have you ever thought about our sovereignity? What is referred to as “development project loans” is a web of deceit spun by powerful nations. All the money we borrow goes back to them while we remain burdened with the debt servicing forever. What do you think the Chinese are seeking when they give you money and request that tenders be awarded to their companies? Do you think the previous presidents were foolish to set ceilings on borrowing? Loans are akin to drugs; once you are in, you are in deep trouble. Today, the Ministry of Finance has set aside 13 trillion to service the national debt, equivalent to over 30% of our budget. This is a disaster, not something to celebrate. You spend 13 trillion on servicing the national debt while key ministries like the Ministry of Education receive 1.9 trillion. The Ministry of Agriculture, a vital sector that employs over 60% of our people, receives 1.2 trillion. How can you build a country with sort of economic theory? We are stuck in the deep quagmire of poverty due to these loans, yet we continue to celebrate them. Your Finance Minister, Mwigulu Nchemba, who claims to be an “economic expert” has the audacity to stand before the public and arrogantly say, “we are able to borrow, that’s why we borrow; there is no country that does not borrow.” The minister is playing cheusi-chekundu with foreign loans albeit with demonstrably little knowledge of economic subterfuge. In other words, we are celebrating being slaves; we are celebrating mortgaging the future of our nation and future generations. As our very own Professor Issa Shivji has warned us over and over again, the economic sharks are merciless. Once they get you, they devour you right away; and you are increasingly driving the country from their fore teeth to their molars. Cont…⬇️

In the corridors of Westminster, momentum is building for a decision that could reshape the Horn of Africa: the formal recognition of Somaliland as an independent state. A representative of His Majesty’s Government recently remarked in conversation that the issue is taking on renewed urgency. At least ten prominent British parliamentarians and peers—both past and present—have publicly expressed their support for #Somaliland in recent years. Political Heavyweights Leading the charge is Sir Sir Gavin Williamson CBE MP MP (Conservative), MP for Stone, Great Wyrley & Penkridge, and Chair of the All-Party Parliamentary Group (#APPG) on Somaliland. Williamson’s advocacy has become the most visible symbol of Westminster’s growing awareness that #Somaliland deserves recognition. Joining him are figures such as Kim Johnson (The Labour Party Ireland), Co-Chair of the APPG and MP for Liverpool Riverside, and the ever-eminent Tom Tugendhat MP (Conservative), a respected voice on foreign affairs. The support extends into the House of Lords, with Lord (Edward) Julian Udny-Lister, a life peer and officer of the APPG, and David Howell of Guildford, who pressed the case during an October 2024 Lords debate. Former ministers and members of UK House of Commons have also added their weight: Zac Goldsmith, who openly called for recognition; Tim Loughton, who rallied a cross-party group of 15 MPs to push the Government; Stephen Doughty HC MP, who led delegations to Somaliland; and Paul Blomfield, the former The Labour Party MP who consistently raised Somaliland in #Commons debates until he stepped down in May 2024. This list represents more than isolated goodwill. It signals a cross-party consensus that Somaliland’s case is legitimate, long-standing, and increasingly unavoidable. The Race Against Time For many in #Westminster, the urgency is geopolitical. There is a real fear that #Britain could be outflanked by the United States if Donald J. Trump—moves first on recognition. This most exquisitely spoken Mandarin bluntly put it, “The UK cannot afford to be Trumped on Somaliland.” This sense of urgency is more than political maneuvering. It reflects Somaliland’s unique position: a functioning democracy in a region beset by instability, a partner on counterterrorism, and a former British protectorate whose independence was already once recognized. The Forgotten Independence of 1960 Somaliland’s story is not one of secession, but of interrupted sovereignty. On 26 June 1960, Somaliland achieved independence from Britain. Within days, more than 30 countries—including the UK, the US, Israel, Egypt, Ethiopia, and all five permanent members of the United Nations Security Council—formally recognized it. Crucially, #Somaliland was admitted to the United Nations as a full member on the very day of independence, under UN Resolution 141 (1960). Diplomatic notes were exchanged with the UK, and sovereign relations established. Five days later, in an ambitious but ill-fated experiment, Somaliland entered a union with the former Trust Territory of Somalia. But the union was never legally sound: Somaliland passed a “Union of Somaliland and Somalia Law” on 27 June 1960. Somalia passed a different “Act of Union” on 30 June. The two texts did not match and were never harmonized. Somaliland’s legislature never ratified the provisional Somali constitution. No valid treaty of union was ever deposited at the #UN, as required by Article 102 of the UN Charter. Yet, on 1 July 1960, Somalia presented itself to the world as the “continuation” of both states, effectively absorbing "impersonating," Somaliland’s independent UN membership. To many legal scholars, this amounted to a theft of sovereignty. Somaliland’s statehood was not legally dissolved, but politically sidelined. Impersonated at the UN What followed was decades of instability under the unified Republic of Somalia. The Somali state collapsed into civil war in 1991. From that moment, Somaliland quietly reasserted the independence it had briefly held in 1960. It built its own government, constitution, currency, judiciary, and armed forces. It has held multiple competitive elections judged free and fair by international observers. Unlike Mogadishu, which has struggled #terrorism, #piracy, and foreign interventions, #Somaliland has maintained relative peace and stability. It has acted as a de facto sovereign state for over three decades, yet remains unrecognized in the international system—a paradox born of a union that never legally existed. Why Recognition Matters Now Recognition is more than symbolism. It would unlock access to international financing, formalize Somaliland’s role as a regional security partner, and strengthen the UK’s diplomatic influence in the Horn of Africa. Critically, it would also correct a historical wrong. #Somaliland was recognized once already, its #UN membership unjustly erased without due process. Unlike other self-determination cases, #Somaliland is not seeking to break away from Somalia—it is seeking to restore its rightful, documented independence. A Time For Action In Westminster, the message is increasingly clear: the UK has a unique responsibility and a strategic opportunity. By moving first, #London would reaffirm historic ties, correct a legal injustice, and secure an ally in one of the world’s most volatile regions. As one 'parliamentarian told me: “Somaliland has done everything asked of it—peace, democracy, stability. It is time #Britain did the right thing. Recognition is not just an option; it is an obligation.” For #Somaliland, the wait has already lasted 64 years. The question is no longer whether recognition is deserved, but whether Britain will finally step forward—or allow history to repeat itself, with others leading the way. Somalilanders (video clip) "Last, week: It truly pained me to see that only one flag was missing among those of the Commonwealth countries hanging in Westminster, London — the flag of #Somaliland."

🇨🇳🇧🇪Belgium’s Desperate Swipe at China: A Self-Inflicted Wound for Europe 🇪🇺 Belgium’s Prime Minister Bart De Wever has sent a sharply worded letter to Ursula von der Leyen, shamelessly urging all 27 EU member states to form a united hard-line front against China. He brazenly claims Beijing is “devastating Europe’s economy” through unfair competition and low-price dumping. He demands tougher countermeasures, stricter investigations, an end to bilateral deals with China and closer alignment with the US, Canada and Japan, even making it the centrepiece of the April EU summit in Cyprus, warning “we have reached the point of no return.” Belgium has reaped massive gains from China: last year bilateral trade hit 403.7 billion USD (up 3%), nearly 2,000 times higher than at the start of diplomatic relations. Antwerp port thrives on transhipping Chinese batteries and vehicles across Europe. De Wever, former long-time mayor of Antwerp, knows this better than most, just last July he was still praising Belgium’s role as a bridge. So why the sudden shameless flip? Barely a year in office, he faces weak growth, stubborn inflation, ballooning deficits and angry protests. Scapegoating China is a cheap, cynical ploy to hide his government’s failures. His arguments are riddled with obvious logical flaws. Around 50% of China-EU trade involves intermediate goods. European firms rely on high cost-performance Chinese components to cut costs and stay competitive. Without them, Europe’s high labour costs and weak parts industry would struggle badly. European multinationals pocket fat profits from factories and supply chains in China that never appear in raw trade stats, the real picture is “surplus in China, profits in Europe.” Europe’s manufacturing woes have little to do with China. Blame America’s Inflation Reduction Act that lured firms away, plus the chaos from Russia-Ukraine and Middle East conflicts, consequences of US strategies Europe blindly followed. While De Wever pushes confrontation, other EU leaders are voting with their feet. Spain just announced Sánchez’s visit to China on 13-15 April (his fourth in four years). Germany’s Chancellor Merz, Finland’s PM Orpo and Ireland’s PM Martin have also recently visited seeking stronger ties. De Wever’s hard line clearly lacks real support. Europe’s real problems are its own deep divisions, sluggish renewal and self-inflicted wounds from following Washington, not fair Chinese competition. Instead of fixing what’s broken at home, Brussels lashes out with protectionist walls that will only raise costs for European businesses and citizens while weakening their competitiveness. Mutual benefit and pragmatic cooperation remain the only rational path. Pure confrontation is reckless and will make ordinary Europeans pay the price. Doubling down on hypocrisy and blame-shifting is a sure recipe for even greater self-harm.

TOPIC #118: ACKNOWLEDGEMENT TO GCV AMBASSADORS AND SPECIAL ENVOYS Conclusion of the Pioneer’s Handbook ( updater version) 2025 marks an extraordinary and historic moment in our shared journey for Pi Network and Global GCV Movement. They finally "married " together. From this moment forward, we officially enter a new chapter that I proudly name: The GCV Economy Era With this milestone, the Pioneer’s Handbook reaches its conclusion. This is my 118th article. In Chinese culture, 118 symbolizes prosperity and good fortune—a perfect symbol for closing one historic chapter and opening another. These final words are dedicated to all pioneers, merchants, ambassadors, envoys, and warriors whose unity, discipline, and perseverance made the GCV dream a reality. --- 1. The Origin of GCV — A Seed Planted in China The GCV Movement began in China, nurtured by pioneers with vision, courage, and deep study. In February 2022, Mr. Rong Zhang Bao launched the Pi Network International Seminar, calling pioneers to study Pi deeply, understand its mission, and define its economic value. After months of collective research and surveys, Chinese pioneers established the foundational consensus value: $314,159. In May 2022, Mr. Bao Rong Zhang and I, together with Nigerian pioneer Mr. Woody, launched three international Twitter Space conferences. Mr. Woody's influence helped introduce GCV to tens of thousands of pioneers worldwide, marking the true beginning of GCV's international journey. I would like to acknowledge Mr. Rong Zhang Bao, former community leader in China, as the founder of GCV, Mr. Woody Lightyear, former community leader in Nigeria, as a key supporter of GCV at early stage Their contributions during the early stages of GCV in 2022 were essential. The early path, however, was not easy. GCV faced misunderstandings, attacks, misinformation, and division. My speeches were removed from groups. Leaders became confused or misled. Some pioneers, lacking education, turned toward black markets. At that point, I made a deliberate decision: I stepped back from global expansion and devoted one full year exclusively to the China community. During that year, Chinese merchants contributed nearly USD 10 million worth of products through GCV barter. However, because pioneers had no Pi available in their wallets, many transactions relied on contracts without Pi or fiat settlement. This created no usable GCV data, and eventually many merchants—unable to sustain operations—left the movement. From this experience, one truth became clear: > Sustainability is essential. Passion alone is not enough. We must be rational, prepared, and educated. To succeed, we must: Use partial Pi + partial fiat Build education before expansion Protect merchants as carefully as pioneers If pioneers only demand from merchants, the economy cannot survive. If merchants collapse, GCV collapses. This realization is why I began writing the Pioneer’s Handbook—to align pioneers and merchants under one sustainable economic vision. --- 2. Expanding Beyond Borders — The Global Rise of GCV By 2023, it became clear that China alone could not generate sufficient global GCV data. GCV had to rise worldwide. One by one, visionary leaders emerged: Ms. Lumari Ms. Nonny Mr. JoJo Mr. M. Rad Mr. Olivier Mr. Iyanda Mr. Patrick Mr. Jason …and many others. Strong movements followed across the Philippines, Indonesia, Africa, the Arab Region, Malaysia, Taiwan (China), Vietnam, Thailand, Turkey, India, Bangladesh, South Korea, and throughout Africa and the Middle East. Many pioneers who doubted GCV did so not out of malice—but from lack of study or misunderstanding of economic authority. Let it be clear: PCT manages technology Pioneers manage the economy GCV is our responsibility and our consensus authority Those who studied deeply developed 100% trust and confidence. --- 3. Deep Gratitude to the International GCV Leadership Although it is impossible to name everyone, the following leaders played defining roles in shaping global GCV success.
