China-US Geopolitics: News & Discussions

Moody appears to apply a double standard when it comes to rating China’s creditworthiness.

China’s credit rating should be higher than those of other major developed economies. In addition to lower debt levels and higher annual growth rates, China’s financial profile is stronger: over US$21 trillion in deposits, US$3 trillion in foreign reserves, consumer debt/income ratio at 26% (over 100% in the West and Japan). Its BRI would energize economic growth in China and the over 100 participating countries.

It's just a desperate move of the US deep state and it means little but losing a bit face for China (if at all) since China doesn't need to borrow money from external institutions.

CIA is fearful of america's innocent civilians who begin to realise how immoral their regime is.
Spreading wars and hatred around the world is something they are getting sick of.

 

[Jlaw]

Trump and Americans also fear this.

Justice will prevail! The United States will fail

Is the United States really concerned about the freedom of navigation in the South China Sea? Let the Iraqi people and the Afghan people judge the identity of America's "world police"! The South China Sea has always been free to sail, and the United States does not need to participate. What happened in the United States? Tears, bleeding, broken up, ruins, ruins. This is what America brings to the world!!!!! The United States is undermining the peace and stability of the region under the guise of freedom of navigation.

DHARAMSHALA: US President Donald Trump has left Tibetans in a shock after proposing zero aid to Tibet in 2018 at a juncture where efforts were underway to arrange a meeting of Tibetan spiritual leader Dalai Lama and the US President, on Friday.

Media reports published from Washington stated that United States has reversed the decade-old policy to give financial aid to Tibetans. It was said that the State department, which has sent a detailed proposal to the Congress as part of the annual budget referred to the decision as one of the tough choices, as its total budget itself was slashed by 28%.

The Tibetan administration has expressed worry, but maintained silence over the issue. Secretary for international relations Sonam Dagpo said they were yet to receive the detailed report. "I am awaiting the official document as of now. There is a 24-hour time gap between here and Washington. Once it comes, then we will go through it. I have read reports but can't react over that," he said.

Though only a proposal, the announcement has worried the Tibetan community. "Trump seems to be making series of unpopular decision that may be of immediate benefits but with no future. Even his Congress and people are protesting against it," said Tenzin Tsundue, a Tibetan writer and poet.

A Tibetan social entrepreneur in exile, Lobsang Wangyal said Trump could be expecting a thaw in US-China relations by cutting funding to exiled Tibetans, but to slash funds for an anguished community is robbing them of the hopes they have in their lives as well as the trust they place in the United States and the western world. "The move is contrary to American ideals of freedom, equality, and justice. Time will tell if Trump's policy is really in line with his 'Make America Great Again'," he said.

Canada, us and eu should establish should take in exiled tibetans rather than abandoning them in India. Not sure these people want to return home, an option for them to return should also be given.

Overseas Tibetan are mostly former slave owners and upper class trash. They should not be allowed home.
They can suck the blood of those who cherish slavery and caste division.

 

[terranMarine]

Tibetans can start using this fantastic product

 

[TaiShang]

This may help middle class white Americans live a bit longer and healthier.

Why spent money on people who even own slaves? Fake Tibetan administration live comfortably in the land of their utmost dream. If there is going to be aid, it should be from Tibet to the US.
