China furious over Trump support of Hong Kong

[dmlfarmer]

So China bans Canadian canola when Canada disrespects them with arrest of Huawei exec. What will be the impact of Trump signing a letter of support of Hong Kong. China is furious. US grain markets about to take another hit - thereby hitting Canadian prices as well?

He felt this was more important

China is done, their 1 child policy has pushed their population beyond the consumption phase into retirement. There is no plan to resume negotiations. There's still a pile of people there, just they don't consume what we need them to. They are moving into healthcare consumption. We need to move on and look for countries that are growing not dieing. It's been a good run. But nothing continues forever. The closest growing, young country is Mexico. They need to get corruption and cartels under control but it is doable. Stop the drug trade and it will fall in line for investment to follow. Security is the biggest issue but it's no different then govt seizure in China or Hong Kong. China is about to exercise the iron fist killing the capital flow into HK and Taiwan is next. It's fracturing.

Trump is just setting the stage for the inevitable. Likely no Phase 1 agreement is forth coming. China will have to keep HK in line so that means a crackdown. When that happens China will be booted from WTO and become economic pariah. EU and USA trade will be cut off and that country is done.

The US still hasn't even brought all their tools to fight china economically. They could still devalue currency yet and that would be the nail in the coffin. China is no where the economic power they think they are.

US has a self sustaining demographic, if they can repatriate production lines they will need a lot less of the outside world to trade with. They will have cheap labour to the south, infinite resources to the north. There is way more money to be made off 100 million rich first world consumers that a billion poor ones living under the whip.

Canada is actually a very lucky country if we didn't have such a idiot running it.

I honestly think the blocking of our oil to the coast has something to do with china strategy. US wants them to get their oil out of the ME hornets nest and defend its movement with its military. Canada was going to throw a wrench into that. US wants our oil here obviously. Thats probably a good thing because Canada is too weak to deal with those countries.

I didn't watch the video, so my response may be misplaced. But much of the investment outside of China is by private citizens getting their money out of a sinking ship as fast as they can, and while they still can.

As for government spending, I forget where I read it, but all of the countries being invested in through the OBOR initiative, have a total consumer economy a small fraction of just the US alone. They are picking through the scraps left over.
