What we see today is that many developing countries borrow money from China and face an indebtedness problem, says Ho-fung Hung at the Global Prosperity Forum. “It is not so much different from the loan performance problem in the domestic economy of China,” he explains.

@hofunghung “What we see today is that many developing countries borrow money from China and face an indebtedness problem …” 👀

@hofunghung The pattern holds. China's domestic credit inefficiencies mirror its BRI lending approach. Both prioritize volume over credit quality, creating unsustainable debt dependencies.

#WATCH | At the 18th BRICS Summit, a Chinese journalist representing CGTN, Li Jingjing, says, "This is a very important BRICS meeting. The whole world is looking at cooperation between India and China. The developing countries, or what we call global sub-countries, are demanding an equal world order that will answer the interests and demands of developing countries. The people of all Global South countries share a common concern that the interests of their people are not being amplified on the world stage. So, through regional corporations like BRICS, where we meet, developing countries are raising their concerns and working together to enhance cooperation. China really supports the development of the Global South. And President Xi has made it clear that China will always be a member of the Global South."

China is not a developing country. That is why this week we objected to resources being diverted to China and are dismayed that the world’s second-largest economy, and the UN’s second-largest assessed donor, is being prioritized over true developing countries. UN Development must focus on effective delivery where it matters most – at the country level.

Peter Schiff explains why China🇨🇳 is BEATING the United States🇺🇸 'Chinese government interference in their economy is not the reason that China is doing well. It's the fact that they've allowed capitalism into the system. It was when they started moving away from complete central government planning, they allowed elements of a market-based economy to enter the Chinese economic system. And the problem in America is that we've lost too much of our capitalism. So we started with a lot more capitalism and now we have a lot less. And China started with no capitalism and now they have a lot more. We're going all in on these socialist programmes and China is not. So in many respects, there's more capitalism in China than there is in the United States. That is the reason for the Chinese success.' -Peter Schiff, Host of 'The Peter Schiff Show' on the latest episode of New Order. Watch the full interview in the quoted post below. 👇 Peter Schiff

The most brutal part is not that China is using AI to sort garbage. It is that China has pushed waste management so far that the old problem has reversed. China used to worry about having too much garbage to process. Now some waste-to-energy plants are facing the opposite problem: not enough garbage. Previously sealed landfills may even have to be reopened, not because China failed, but because waste has become fuel, feedstock, data, and part of an industrial recycling loop. This is what China does best. It takes the ugliest, dirtiest, most ignored corner of urban life — garbage — and turns it into engineering, automation, energy recovery, environmental governance, and industrial optimization. Even trash gets absorbed into the machine. In many countries, garbage is where governance collapses. In China, even garbage becomes a system.

Six years ago today Covid what was declared as a global pandemic. These clips from China were broadcast repeatedly none around the world, of people dropping dead in the street allegedly from Covid. Problem is - it was all a lie.

Blinken finally said the quiet part out loud: The United States cannot defeat China alone. So his solution is not to outbuild, outproduce, or outcompete China. It is to assemble Europe, Japan, South Korea, India, Canada, and Australia into a larger anti-China bloc—then disguise containment as “alliance coordination.” That is the entire strategy: America alone is no longer strong enough, so Washington wants to weaponize everyone else’s anxieties. But here is the darkest joke. While Blinken dreams of mobilizing the world against China, global opinion is moving in the opposite direction. Pew polling now shows China viewed more positively than the United States across many countries. Even in Europe—America’s traditional alliance base—China’s favorability has risen above America’s. So Washington has a structural problem: It wants to lead an anti-China coalition at the exact moment more of the world trusts China than the country demanding that coalition. Blinken calls this “working with friends.” China calls it what it is: An empire that can no longer win alone asking its clients to supply the missing weight. America’s alliances were supposed to prove its leadership. Now they increasingly reveal its dependence. China is competing with the United States. The United States is recruiting the world to compensate for the fact that it cannot compete with China by itself. Yet the funniest meltdown did not come from American rednecks. It came from overseas Chinese opportunists who built their entire identity around hating China. Blinken merely admitted that America cannot defeat China alone, and they immediately accused him of being “brainwashed” and spreading “Chinese propaganda.” Their problem is not China. Their problem is that China’s rise has destroyed the psychological mechanism they depend on for survival: the belief that America must always stand above China—because without that hierarchy, their entire borrowed identity collapses.

Western media often labels China an “unfair” trading partner for exporting too much. But from a development perspective, China is doing exactly what it should: making things and exporting them. Blaming China for exporting too much is blaming China for developing its economy.

"China Squeeze"or "China Opportunity"? Some foreign economists have put forward the so‑called "China squeeze" narrative, arguing that China’s manufacturing sector impacts developed economies and crowds out development space for Global‑South countries. At the Asia‑Pacific Media High‑Level Forum, journalists and experts from multiple countries shared diverse perspectives and data to discuss: Is what China brings to the world a squeeze, or opportunities?

SMITH: "Many of the people who are in [PM Carney's] caucus still hold on to the same views that they have for the last 10 years. That Alberta is a problem, our economic wealth is a problem, developing it is a problem, so keep it in the ground. And that is not going to happen."

🚨 CHINA BUILDS WHILE AMERICA BURNS BILLIONS 🚨 Marco Rubio says America does not want to contain China, but China should not rise at America’s expense. However, who is actually draining America? While China builds infrastructure, expands manufacturing, and signs business deals across the world, Washington is spending $1 billion a day on war in Iran and maintaining hundreds of military bases across the globe. That money is not being spent for the American people. It is being burned in West Asia to weaken Iran, control the Strait of Hormuz, and secure Israel’s dream of becoming the dominant empire of the region. American taxpayers are being sucked dry while China invests in its future. So maybe the problem is not that China is rising. Maybe the problem is that the United States chose empire over its own people.

Tinubu is not our problem. The problem is the opposition. We need to separate ourselves from the government in power. Tinubu’s pattern is simple. He tries something today, and you're weak. He puts something bigger, and you're weaker. Which president goes to France when you're shouting that the man is stealing our money ? - Amaechi spoke today at the joint press conference of opposition political parties
