Disinformation and lies

Correct. That’s all that comes out of China’s mouth.

Rahm is starting to look a bit Grinch-like.

Disinformation and lies

Not at all, many US Companies are pulling all investments from China, due to continued issues with the CCP.

The United States is finally waking up to the Chinese threat.

On the one hand, China looks like and is an economic superpower.

On the other hand, whenever China opens its mouth, it sounds just like North Korea.

So, in all this haze of words am I to understand that the U.S. and Japan will now TRY to emulate China's highly successful foreign policy instead of the U.S. 'gunboat diplomacy' the world is growing so tired of? Can American Corporate adapt to such a change or has America's credibility in the world at large gone in the same direction as its honesty? Or are we talking only of America and Japan and this article is just word stuffing?

And speaking of Taiwan, it's a 'breakaway province' of Mainland China much as Donetsk and Luhansk are of Ukraine and given our 'support' for Taiwan, if America were the least bit consistent, we would be supporting Eastern Ukraine against a corrupt central government rather than encouraging and facilitating that central government's continued eight year murder of its own people.

Japan is teasing China to spark the WAR, nothing else! We love you CHINA!

Japan, the world's largest LNG buyer, is a growing market for U.S. natural gas

US manipulated Japan about sanctions to force them to buy LNG , very good business for the US!!. Japan will continue to print money and make debts to survive.

It was the west that wanted/forced China to make cheap affordable products.

China as usual just took advantage of the situation.

many countries greedily allowed themselves to go into debt to China .

So to just blame it all on China is disinformation and lies.

Iam not fond of China However lets not forget how the west has always sought to stifle China's rise.

America does not have enough LNG terminals on the west coast to supply Asia.

the price will rise and make US richer, it was the plan since the beginning to tight japan to US to buy US LNG.

Pretty telling to see all the anti-Japanese and anti-American posters here. Hope they are being paid enough.

Since the Ukraine invasion, America has become the largest exporter of LNG but the increases are going to Europe, not Asia.

U.S. LNG exports averaged 11.5 billion cubic feet per day (Bcf/d) during the first four months of 2022, an 18% increase compared with the 2021 annual average.

Asian LNG shipments deceased.

Doing all the wrong things and pleasing the wrong people!

American capitalists turned China into a workshop of the world shutting their own factories and sacking their workforces.

Fightoo,I am an American

And speaking of Taiwan, it's a 'breakaway province' of Mainland China much as Donetsk and Luhansk are of Ukraine

You obviously know nothing about the history of the Republic of China, which is decades older than the People's Republic of China.

Wanna counter China commercially? Should probably stop producing the entire world in that one country then.

Japan is America’s ATM, so of course Obama’s Jewish mate is promising salvation from our own recession which is on the way.

Ah, there it is. Forgive me for giving this poster the benefit of the doubt in my past conversations with them.

Don't know about that.

Japan does seem hellbent on irritating the hell out of China, of late

@wallace

You’re absolutely right. And Ross Perot was also right back in the early 90s when he said NAFTA would suck the life right out of the U.S. economy.

Greed is partly to blame. These developing countries didn’t have to and still don’t have to live up to the same rules, and here we are in a mess partly of our own making.

So people shouldn’t buy Chinese products that we need because we have to be racist against China in order to have only one country in control of the whole world?

The UK doesn't even produce LNG.

What in the hell ,he talking about, Japanese cannot compete with 10 of billion of cheap Chinese 1 dollar product,one dollar charging cable

This poster has missed the point. It is not about easily made by anyone charging cables it is about difficult to make nano semiconductors and having a stable supply no matter whats going on in the world.

Iam not fond of China However lets not forget how the west has always sought to stifle China's rise.

That is just so incorrect. The west encouraged billions upon billions of dollars of investments into China to actually make China a manufacturing powerhouse for cheap products over a number of decades. The world supported the rise of China and China has now betrayed the trust of the world by becoming belligerent and untrustworthy. It was hoped capitalism would open China to the the world and help it achieve democracy. it has failed spectacularly and now the world is withdrawing investment in China to reinvest elsewhere and solidify supply chains away from Chinese manipulation and coercion.

I disagree, I have seen China irritating the hell out of the whole region since Jinping took power. China is the problem, not the solution.

That's a fair point, Peter.

Should Japan be the bigger person here though, and rise above that of China?

It would be foolhardy to believe in the benevolence or good will of Jinping's China. So I would say no, be always on your guard while Jinping remains at the helm.

@Kyo wa heiwa dayo ne About the disinformation I totally disagree, but the lies I can agree with. Finally you got half of something right

Disinformation and lies

They believe they can stop China's unstoppable economic advance.

Let them continue to dream..

Tissue??.. Lol..
