After returning to the US for the Xi-Trump summit, he intends to call the president of Taiwan:

Trump’s stated goal for calling President Lai is to "negotiate" the terms of the arms deal before making a final decision. He has not explicitly committed to either pushing it through or stopping it, instead positioning the sale as a "very good negotiating chip" to gain concessions from both Taipei and Beijing.

He is reportedly using the threat of selling these advanced weapons as leverage to get Beijing to

- Make major purchases of American goods (like soybeans, beef, and airplanes).
- Help put pressure on Iran

Rejoining Jiuhu is easier, and the surrounding regions do not pose a security risk.

If sinkie rejoin msia, sinkie property price dropped alot.

 

[Sinkiesuk]

If sinkie becomes part of china, get same benefit. No NS. High quality research. Participate in space programme......no COE.

Sinkie too far liao and so small and is for their poor worker come and steal rice bowl. Instead they get laos or north viet much better.

One inflation spike in the 2020s might be an accident, the world’s biggest bond markets seem to have decided, but two looks like an alarming new trend.

The US war on Iran is inflicting another wave of price hikes on a global economy that’s barely recovered from the last one. A material chunk of the world’s fuel and fertilizers is trapped inside the Strait of Hormuz, and the pain is spreading. European airlines canceled flights, Americans have spent an extra $20 billion at the gas pump, and Asian rice farmers wondered if they should skip planting. Pretty much every pundit reckons things will get worse before they get better.
