China and Mexico's Shocking Deal Leaves the US Stunned - Geopolitics

[TexasTowelie]

China and Mexico have reportedly struck a groundbreaking deal that has significant geopolitical and economic implications, leaving the U.S. and the global community astonished. This deal involves strategic partnerships in trade, technology, or infrastructure that could shift power dynamics in North America and beyond. For instance, Mexico's increased collaboration with China could strengthen economic ties through initiatives like enhanced manufacturing capabilities or Belt and Road-related projects.

The agreement may threaten the U.S.'s dominant influence in the region, challenge its supply chain dependencies, or complicate its trade policies. Observers speculate this deal could create a new axis of cooperation that bypasses the traditional U.S.-led economic order. The full impact remains uncertain, but it signals a shift in alliances that could reshape global trade and diplomacy.

====================

In today’s update, Khan covers several key developments from China.

First, there are reports of a mysterious viral outbreak in China, possibly linked to hMPV, overwhelming hospitals. Some unverified videos show crowded medical facilities and funeral homes, but concrete details are scarce. The CDC has attributed the surge to influenza, which mirrors a similar situation in 2022-2023, though the World Health Organization has not made a statement yet.

The People’s Bank of China (PBOC) is considering shifting toward market-oriented interest rate controls in 2025, signaling a departure from its previous focus on targeted lending. This aims to promote sustainable economic growth, but there are internal debates on economic policy.

The yuan has fallen past the 7.3 per dollar mark, signaling potential further depreciation. This weakens domestic demand, though it boosts exports. The PBOC may intervene to manage the decline and ensure stability.

Manufacturing activity has slowed, with PMI data showing weaker growth in the sector. This is largely due to falling exports and reduced demand, reflecting broader economic concerns and ongoing trade tensions with the U.S.

On a positive note, BYD, China’s leading electric vehicle (EV) manufacturer, reported record sales, strengthening its position globally. However, smaller EV companies are facing mounting challenges, and the EU has introduced trade barriers to protect local manufacturers from China’s competitive edge.

Khan concludes by noting China’s economic struggles but highlights its growing dominance in the EV market. He encourages viewers to support the channel for more in-depth analysis.

Is Canada next?

It would appear when you unleash a torrent of threats and attempt to bully your neighbors that they may turn to other alternatives to replace you.

Good move day glow you've managed to upset the geopolitical order of North America and weaken the United States before you even take office!

2. Trump will do everything he can to alienate our most important trade partners

It's almost as if Vlad Putin is pulling his strings.

3. "Almost"??? I think that it has been clear that trump listens to Putin all the time, Helsinki proved that.

History repeats, and it doesn't necessarily repeat in the same country. I am referring to what happened in Venezuela which is playing out in the USA almost to the "T". Hugo Chavez aligned himself with Fidel Castro, everything Chavez did, which was counter to the needs of Venezuela and its citizens, came from Castro benefiting himself, his family and Cuba. Cuba has no oil, but during Chavez tenure, Cuba became an "Oil Exporter", and of course the oil came from Venezuela.

trump will follow Putin's orders, he will destroy the USA because he has a bunch of traitors in his party who are there to praise their master thinking they will never been thrown under the bus. These are going to be four very hard years, and unless Democrats act with courage, the USA could become a country like Venezuela.

5. "Almost" was intended as sarcasm.

The bottomless pit of Trump’s need to feed his ego and bank account make him easy to manipulate, and Putin may very well have something on him.

The cabal of evil clowns he's assembling are motivated by an assortment of greed, personal ambition, and poisonous ideolgy like that ghoul Stephen Miller.

For them It's not so much fealty to Putin as they just don't care about America's highest ideals or Constitional rule of law -- except how they can use or bastardize it for their own ends.

Trump committed treason when he incited the violent assault on our nation's Capitol. As far as I'm concerned, everyone who aided that insurrection and worked to install him again now is also guilty of treason.
