Economy crash =/= stock market crash?

There are 20 million people in Taiwan. It's a tiny province in Chinese terms. The CCP could take 10 million of them to mainland China and replace them with 10 million loyal Chinese.

Sure they could. Just so we're clear, are you saying that the Taiwanese wouldn't care about the forced disappearance of one in every two of their neighbours, or that they wouldn't notice?

If I was the all-powerful CCP I would relocate the 10 million loyal Taiwanese to the mainland and get them to take all the semiconductor machinery with them, while leaving the other 10 million to rot. It's easier to move a bunch of factory equipment than 10 million recalcitrant humans.

It wouldn't matter what the Taiwanese care about.  There are 20 million people in Shanghai, which is the same population size as Taiwan.  In the last few months the CCP has imprisoned the residents of Shanghai, starved them in their flats, and killed their pets.

China consider Taiwan a rogue province of China.  They will take it back at some point.

For what it's worth, Taiwan's ruling party lays claim to China (and Mongolia).

The mini debate whether there will be recession this year or next year ?

I fully agree that when the oil price surge to US$175, that is what might trigger recession. Oil/Gas price will effect almost everything in everyday life.

If you notice carefully he did mention various type of hurricanes possibilities, it is not just necessarily very severe.

"Right now, it's kind of sunny. Things are doing fine. Everyone thinks the Fed can handle this. That hurricane is right out there down the road coming our way. We just don't know if it's a minor one or superstorm Sandy... or Andrew or something like that," he said

People have seen mild hurricanes by now, are not they ? The stock market is forward looking this has been priced in the stock market. What has not ben expected is if the Oil/Gas skyrocketing such as going to $175+ inflation keep rising uncontrollable, this is not anticipated but could happen.

The latest CPI figure was reported 8.3% down from 8.5%. The FED has started reducing its balance sheet this June. The CPI figure will be reported this coming Friday, June 10 before the US stock market open. if it is above 8.3%+ (or worse above 8.5%) then it might prompt the query the ability of FED to control the inflation.

I'm often afraid that I might lose all my money by not following the advice of convicted fraudsters.

Are you trying to write the Taiwanese Zelenskiy's rallying cry to La Resistance for them?

Just because people will accept all kinds of awful treatment as long as it's coming from "us" doesn't mean they can then go over to "them" and repeat the trick without opposition.

Your "our population is bigger therefore military victory is guaranteed" theory is not shared by Chinese generals, probably because they've been paying attention to the news from a few miles west recently.

The Shanghai lockdown was mostly inflicted upon themselves by Shanghaians, not the might of the Red Army. Most of the officials imposing random rules and the thugs patrolling the streets were from the local area.

A couple of mistakes in his thread that I noticed.

Which parts don't you agree with and why?

Zola.

What mistakes did you notice?

I didn't disagree with the general statistics, although it's clearly hyperbolic, despite it all being bat sh*t crazy....

I disagreed that printing money causes asset prices to go down.
