Thank you The Duran for covering Pres. Xi's visit to Europe, its meaning and outcome.
❤😊EFCHARISTO ALEX AND ALEXANDER IN CYPRUS AND ENGLAND FROM SARAWAK WITH LOVE.
Notice how East and South do/did not succumb to the global Hegemon, unlike “the Enlightened Collective Garden”? Tells everyone about the true meaning of Sovereignty.
The quality of western leadership is the reasons for their decline
No the quality is unchanged, its that the subsidy from exploiting Africa and the global south is over. Easy to build economies with slaves and colonies.
Exactly! Woke PC politics has destroyed the West.
i tend to agree with this outlook, and i have examples to prove it
The quality has changed @@thewolfofgod3908

EU about to commit financial suicide 🙄
Yes we are i dont understand that why do we care of China or usa number 1 super power we are not in top 2 why care we need to stay neutral and profit from China and usa we need to be friend with two not one usa is fail Empire
It's already done so.
@@hermesliteratus882 No, that was them loading the gun. This is them pulling the trigger.
💯🎯 👍
They already did mate, the facts are it doesn't matter what tariffs they put on Chinese cars. If Europeans haven't got the money they can't buy anything no matter where it's from. Putting all the sanctions on Russia has crippled the EU
Once again, America and the EU have bitten off more than they can chew...
The US WOULD HAVE DESTROYED UKR IN 3 WEEKS, GUARANTEED.
More than they can CHIEU you mean 🐉
💯🎯 👍
The dumb part was, everyone wasn’t doing that bad at the time. I’m not saying everything was roses, still lots of crap in the Middle East (thx to the US), but even peace was being talked first time in decades. But as soon as genocide Joe got in, it all went to hell and for no reason.
Neither America nor the EU now work for the benefit of their respective citizens. Not until they refocus their efforts for the benefit of their citizens will they have even a hope of recovering their former stature.
This is why China is interested in developing Africa, they need new customers for their goods. Including high tech and industrial machinery.
In contrary to Europe/US, who try to permanently keep Africa in poverty, so that they can extract resources for cheap.
💯🎯 👍
Yes, 100% correct.
The people of the Africa have been "divided and ruled" over by outsiders for centuries. Because it is easier to divide people based on personal differences, than it is to unite them, based on what they have in common. Strategically ambiguous rulers make use of this, for own advantages. In the era of empires, first Rome/Constantinople in North Africa, then during the era of Western imperialism the seat of POWER playing these games changed to the USA/Europe, then after the 1950's as European colonialism's power decreased, Africa was the "playground" during the Cold War. Moscow was taking on the role of arming the resistance.
Now the intention is simply to avoid unity in Africa and the ME, in order to "rule" over the dissent which is classical "divide and rule". Today, all African dissenters, including some of Africa's own greedy corrupt leaders, are ALL tools. Endless wars, constant dissent.
Insert "levers" of lies, mistrust...
Create favorites: favoritism...
Point the finger, everywhere else...
Divide and Rule.
Oldest trick in the book...
Who wields the POWER? Who has had (in all historical cases in Africa and the ME) the GEOGRAPHICAL ADVANTAGE of being able to "reach" all the other little "buck catchers" (tools, and other Roman-era style instruments of POWER), but could not be "reached" itself, because of a geographical-, technological-, organisational-, military-, strategic-, political advantage at any given point of a historical timeline?
Four corners of the globe. These globalists play the same game. Divide and rule.
China is primarily interested in the natural resources available in Africa. I wouldn't expect China to be any less exploitative than the European colonial powers of the past.
@bookingstation could both be true? Won't China need new markets withh the USA and EU blocking trade? Africa is a big market. African Leaders must negotiate deals that are in the best interest for Africa.
Europe are colonies. We should not get the blame for US policy. All European nations bar Belgium's empires were the same as China's now, supporting development, infrastructure and education
🇨🇳How dare you, China, to be batter at capitalism than the Collective West?! It's against the rules based order 🇺🇲🤡😂

The Western Leaderships have lost the art of diplomacy
That's not all they have lost. They lost their minds.
Western leadership has become a contradiction.
They never had the art of diplomacy. Western attitude has always been, do what I want, or suffer the consequences.
I am not sure they ever mastered the art of diplomacy
Western Diplomacy was always to explain that _"out in the harbor you can see our gunboats."_
The EU has nothing to offer, nothing to threaten with, no force either to dictate the super-powers how they are to run their countries and who to be friends with. Sanctions on China will be working the same way as sanctions on Russia. Thank You, Alex/Alexander. Greetings
As a German, I absolutely agree.
The collective West is on a steep decline.....and nothing can change this .
😂😂😂 EU has trade with china 4 times bigger than Russia and 10 times bigger economy - Obviously china is less resisted to sanctions because is NOT resource base technology
💯🎯 👍
China is slightly more vulnerable. A complete break with the West would cause them a horrible recession.
But here, we'd have empty shelves and hyperinflation.
@@LuisNunes-ps4sl The yuuessay and it's butlers will go down the toilet before it even scratches Chyna. The export market for it's EV is only 15%. The population of yuuessay and it's butlers in entire Europe, Canada, Aust, NZ, Sth Korea and Japan is 1.3B. Chyna is 1.43B.
China will never, never kowtow to the imperialist after a century of humiliation (百年国耻).

British East India Opium Wars against China from 1760 to 1910 > occupied 50 ports, killed 100 million Chinese
Never again.
Opium Wars, 1760 to 1910, over 100 million Chinese killed (comments censored)
Don't make this into some moralist claim by China, that demanded centuries of kowtowing from others. Ask the Tibetans if they like to kowtow or not.
Funny thing is, a 200% tarrif on a Chinese EV would still be cheaper than a Tesla.
Tesla is fairly cheap in China, about $25,000 if I recall.
@@jasonmugridgeTesla had to lower prices in order to compete in the Chinese EV market
@@jasonmugridgewhat about 100% taxes and tariffs on Tesla and other u.s products.
I sort of think the rest of the world is going to do pretty good without the hassle of the US and Europe
💯🎯 👍
We could have all done a lot better if we all cooperated and didn't have the elite we have in the west.
@brianbob. I agree. You can see a growing trend within the non western world of cooperation instead of exploitation and militarism. In the future, I believe the past few hundred years of western domination will be seen as a dark period in the history of the world.
Unfortunately, us regular folks that live here will pay the price.
@@NotAPacifist825 Agreed, but they do bear some responsibility. If the regular folks were even partially paying attention to what is happening all around them, they would have stopped voting for the same crooks decades ago, and overthrown the status quo. Nonetheless, I do agree. It’s a shame that as usual the little guy on the totem pole will pay the price.

Chinese "gigafactory" for BYD electric cars in Hungary, under construction. No import taxes. Orban and China are smarter!
China is building huge factories in Mexico to circumvent the USA's nonsense as well.
How dare you deindustrialise our economy, thats our job

West makes "NOTHING", i see no west goods here (in India), jap cars, s.korea electronics, are in plenty, but almost nothing from west, expect, coca cola, mac donald, pizza hut, levis, & such. Selling food is not "manufacturing" any jerk can do it. So its true, west "makes nothing" & sells nothing, thats a fact
We'll be eating grass and seaweed, like my ancestors if we don't depose Sunak, Queen Ursula and the WEF
Yes. You will.
Seaweed is good, high in iodine, helps prevent people from falling ill with goiter. And grass is even better, extremely rich with dietary fibers, which prevent people from falling ill with colon cancer and intestine cancer. And better yet, they are both extremely affordable and plentiful.
@etbuch4873 you are welcome to confine yourself to grass and seaweed if you wish
@@etbuch4873 Both are far better than a Big Mac from the USA.

EU - the perfect vasall organization to the U.S…..
They may as well get rid of the Euro and adopt the failing US dollar. Can you believe at one point the Euro was way stronger than the dollar? This is what happens when you are a lapdog like the EU.
As if NATO wasn't perfect enough for them.
EU takes on China sounds like comedy skid... I started laughing as soon as I saw the alert. Let's watch....
"EU takes on China"
That didn't take long...
The quote "Let China sleep, for when she wakes, she will shake the world" is often attributed to Napoleon Bonaparte.

Napoleon was the last great leader of France. That was a VERY long time ago heh.
@Ziegfried82 How does de Gaulle compare?
“They still persist in massively overestimating their own power”. Yes that sums all of this up
About this overcapacity issue. China has 4x the population of the USA, with approximately the same production. Seems no one is doing the math.
No, their production is order of magnitudes greater of the yuuessay
A potato can also be classified as duel use. Food for the family and food for the soldiers at the frontline. Just keep making things up.

German technology + Russian resources + China market/manufacturing = Win Win Win
This is not acceptable for Uncle Sam
who Sam?🥷
What German technology when German car executives were busy measuring and taking notes from Chinese cars at the latest Shanghai Auto Show? Not to mention the most advanced battery technology comes from CATL and BYD.
China already surpassed Germany not just in EV technology but many others as well.
Exactly. I think many things about Germans but I never thought they are this stupid. Live and learn, live and learn.
Germany technology...that was like 30 years ago, nowadays China has surpassed them in every way
U$EU are dying empires, nobody cares, Chinese caravan moves on.
I thought the environment was very important to the EU and the USA. I remember how they use to give China a hard time about pollution (even though most of it was a result of making products for Western companies). Suddenly, not so important anymore. How convenient.
"Criminals always assume that everybody else is as cynical about things as they are" --Alexander Mercouris
💯 percent true!
Maybe if instead of sending all those billions to Ukraine they had invested in the ev industry, EU ev industry would be looking much better now.
The fact that the money is going into Ukraine makes it clear that net-zero is not the objective, just one of the ploys to justify the geopolitical grab of the unelected global oligarchs (in the name of democracy, of course).
Fields and fields of unsold EVs, Nobody wants them and certainly not a second time, no market for used either. Junk.
@@durwardsaar6000only you are talking to yourself. EV is going forward not ICE.
@@liongjiahwong5478 Must be why companies don't want to make them. Don't be daft, it's garbage tech. The whole "green" movement is just stupid.
The EU doesn't want Chinese EV cars but still charges us for Not having them via Carbon Taxes and other back hander deals.
The eu is disgusting. So underhand.
There was a show on TV last night here in Sweden where a bunch of EU bureaucrats eat dinner while talking about how the EU can save the world (no kidding). All their opinions were exactly what you'd expect from the EU big brains: predictably tooting their own horns; simultaneously calling themselves the most democratic system and then hating on any country (even in the EU) that vote for populist candidates who oppose globalism; talking about the supremacy of the EU and how uniquely "European" the ideas of democracy and human rights are, but then telling you that Europe's strength is that we open the door to all cultures...
Europe is literally imploding before our eyes. They pontificate but have no coherent worldview, except for "I'm best, so do as I say, or else."

So explain to me, how else does this work if not by people in Europe going to elections and voting for parties filled to the brim with people like von der Leyen, Johnson, Sunak, Macron, Pavel etc.?
@@Tallorian That my dear is the true beauty of democracy, rather the "illusion of democracy", people going to vote, thinking you are voting for leaders. What you failed to understand the entire system is already rigged from the start, with wealth and capital having influence (aka lobbying) and control over ALL candidates, many are pre-selected, not having to proof themselves, the only criteria is you have money backing you, that so called "corp medias" is backing you. THAT is one reason why wealthy west wants to force "democracy" onto all countries, not to benefit ordinary people, but so they know they can influence any candidate and in any country through extreme capital, wealth and media influence. Corruption is rife my dear!!!
@@Tallorian Ursula Fond of Lying, Johnson and Sunak were never elected by the people.
USA and EU can start manufacturing manual trishaws. That is one industry that the Chinese have not conquered. USA and the EU can then proudly declared that they are biggest producers of manual hand pulled trishaws in the world. This is something Ursula Van de Crazy will be very proud of because it is green - as green as it can get. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

China asks "do I look scared"?🥷🥷🥷🥷🥷🥷
It’s amazing how the elitists think we in the west can afford EV . China is selling them more affordable.
You would think that their existential concern for Climate Change would result in welcoming more affordable solutions. If an asteroid were heading to Earth would they object to using Chinese rockets to divert it? Or would they risk an asteroid hit by delaying until EU rockets could be manufactured? Strange.
A Swiss bank did a study and concluded that not only are Chinese EV’s cheaper but are technically and constructed better then anything in the West

They are totally toxic to the environment which is ignored for profit!
Or want them. I see EVs as a move to restrict and control movement.
I just read that Slowakian prime minister Fico has been shot and is severely wounded in hospital. Political ??, probably.
Interesting, assination attempt on elensky, I heard yesterday one also on Saudi crown prince, now this one? Who behind these?
@@darleneshriver3270Seems clear that the US and Britain would want both Fico and MbS dead, in the later's case Israel would also be prime suspect.
Who knows what intermediaries they used, but that the orders ultimately came from there seems the by far plausible explanation.
In Fico's case there of course could be an ukronazi connection too.
Very likely they will try to assassinate Orban next.
I think we all know😉.
Seems UA-cam took down my comment where I speculated about the usual suspects obviously being behind it and Orban quite possibly being the next target.

There is no way China allows EU to use Russian assets as bargaining chips to get what they want from China. China can't be dragged into doing criminal things as asset confiscations.
These tariffs will make EU and US hopelessly uncompetitive. Shielded from real competition they can get away with being inefficient and produce second-rate products
It's easy to see that we will lose purchasing power and everything will become more expensive, not just BEVs.
The politics doesn’t makes it easier for us common people to get by.

Both you gentlement never let us down. Your reporting is honest and clear.
Their reporting is clear, but it is terribly biased against the West.
Sanctions against and on Chinese goods in America hurt businesses, hurt sales and contribute to high inflation. Created a shortage of low priced goods in exchange for high priced goods made in America.
America outsourced its wealth. That includes employed spending American consumers.
China should sell to their buddies in Iran, Venezuela, North Korea, rather than US or EU. Good luck with that.

Good evening gentlemen. Thank you always for the informative news ❤
Economics is not the Duran’s area of expertise. The Tesla is basically a luxury car. There is no middle class market for Teslas. They were subsidized at first. Further, the infrastructure to support electric vehicles is 100 percent nonexistent in the U.S. and the existing grid system will not support expansion. There is very limited investment in infrastructure because all our money goes to wars. If the Duran wishes to discuss economics, they should have a session with a knowledgeable economist like Michael Hudson.
Come on get off your high horse. If there are experts on economy than the Duran then why oh why the collective is a dismal failure on economy. China and Russia are the better economist for the past millennium.
Yes. You are quite right. Their knowledge of economics and tech is basically close to naught. China does not sell EVs to USA so any tariff wont affect them. However, there is a loophole in the legislation and Volvo sells china made EVs. Volvo is owned by a Chinese company Geely which owns other marques as well. Their knowledge of China is also pretty dismal when they keep on quoting the Global Times as the govt mouthpiece. It is not.
He admits its not his expertise
@@letsgobrandon4429 yes…but they purchase Volvo…believing they are buying a Swedish made vehicle….quietly the Chinese are happy with that.
Jesus, the Lunatics have (truly) taken over the asylum!
Volkswagen is offering huge discounts here in China, because their range uses inferior software to most of the quality Chinese EV'S like BYD etc.
Volkwagen have a large production plant in Xinjiang provence.
@@arnoldsaunders6073Yes, but their market share is only about 2% and slipping. I looked at buying a VW EV, as they were offering 30% off in Shenzhen last year, but you need to take the car in for any software updates. I bought BYD in the end as updates can be done remotely.
💯🎯 👍
😂
The price war is crazy right now in Chinese domestic market. Some cars directly give a 40% discount during events. I got my EV too early, should’ve waited till now🥲
Blinky and the rest of the State Department is clueless.
even with 100% tariff, some EVs will still be profitable.

Chinese President Xi Jinping, who assumed office in 2012, set an ambitious goal of lifting the remaining 100 million people out of poverty (BBC).
According to the World Bank, over the past 40 years, the number of people in China with incomes below $1.90 per day - the International Poverty Line as defined by the World Bank to track global extreme poverty- has fallen by close to 800 million.
By 2012, the number of people in China living below the international poverty line had fallen to fewer than 90 million, and by 2016, it had fallen to 7.2 million people (0.5% of the population), BBC.
By the end of 2020, the final 98.99 million impoverished rural residents in China had all been lifted out of poverty.
All 832 impoverished counties and 128,000 villages had been removed from the poverty list.

Exactly. Reminded me of Troubardix, the singer
😱😱😱😱😱😱

Toward Kiev?

I'm in Bulgaria, never seen an electric car.
The turning point with the Western : Chinese relationship was 2008. Before then, they had a deal whereby China earned USD's (for goods) but the USD's were immediately returned to the US in the form of loans (sovereign bonds). 2008 was the watershed moment as, before then, USD's were viewed as as good as gold. In 2008 the US printed unlimited USD's, bailing out the financial sector and the economy, thereby signaling that the USD's can be devalued at any time, which led to China slowing down (and eventually) reversings it bond purchases.
Yup
I don't know anyone here in the US who even wants to switch to an EV, especially a pick-up.
Not surprisingly if in the US, they even have people that don't want to switch to an ICE car and still using horse-drawn carriage. Maybe the whole country will be like that in a few decades, left behind by rest of the world.
God..please help us all !
EU & China should be working closely together, I believe they may have prevented Ukraine war if they had stronger bonds
What happened to the competition?
Is the West admitting that they can't compete with the world?
The West is stagnating
Er!! The British understood they were/ will be unable to compete way, way back in the Thatcher years!!! Nothings changed everything remains the same!!
Yes. That's exactly what Americans admitted few weeks ago in China.
Respectfully, it seems you understand little about economics. The CCP subsidizes all businesses that export to the world...unfare advantage. The CCP, tells chinese businesses to sell their products for less than it costs to manufacture them(remember they're subsidized so they don't lose money) selling products for less than it costs to manufacture them is called 'dumping' and is against WTO mandates...that china signed on to. China does this with all their products. So tell me is this competitive or underhanded?
Not to worry, Biden will topple Xi as he did Putin. 😂
Biden is better at toppling himself 😂😂😂
@@JeffreyGlover65 Biden is more worried about himself toppling in Nov
Trump won't be any better
