US said to plan more China tariffs if Xi meeting fails
trump-xi_-_blm.jpg
BloombergThe US could impose more tariffs on China imports if talks between Mr Trump and Mr Xi fail to ease the trade war.
Published30 October, 2018
Updated 30 October, 2018
WASHINGTON, DC – The US is preparing to announce by early December tariffs on all remaining Chinese imports if talks next month between presidents Donald Trump and Xi Jinping fail to ease the trade war, three people familiar with the matter said.
An early-December announcement of a new product list would mean the effective date – after a 60-day public comment period – may coincide with China’s Lunar New Year holiday in early February. The list would apply to the imports from the Asian nation that aren’t already covered by previous rounds of tariffs – which may be US$257 billion (S$355.5 billion) using last year’s import figures, according to two of the people.
US officials are preparing for such a scenario in case a planned Trump-Xi meeting yields no progress on the sidelines of a Group of 20 summit in Buenos Aires in November, according to two of the people, who declined to be identified to discuss internal deliberations. They cautioned that final decisions had not been made.
The move indicates the Trump administration remains willing to escalate its trade war with China even as companies complain about the rising costs of tariffs and financial markets continue to be nervous about the global economic fallout.
Stocks erased gains partly on concern about an escalating trade war between the world’s two largest economies. The S&P 500 Index fell as much as 2.1 per cent before paring the drop and ending the day down 0.7 per cent. The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed down 1 per cent and the Nasdaq 100 Index tumbled to its lowest level since May.
White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders declined to give specifics when asked about the importance of the meeting. “I’m not going to get ahead of the conversation,” she said in Monday’s (Oct 29) press briefing. “You have two of the most powerful leaders in the world. I think that’s consequential no matter how you look at it and we’ll see what happens when they sit down.”
The US this year has already imposed tariffs on US$250 billion in trade with China. Ten per cent tariffs on US$200 billion in imports that took effect in September are due to increase to 25 per cent on Jan 1. Mr Trump has also threatened to impose tariffs on the remaining goods imports from China, which last year were worth US$505 billion.
As another option, the White House is also considering excluding trade from the meeting agenda but it is unlikely to cancel it altogether, according to two people familiar with the matter.
“We are in the middle of a pretty nasty dispute. We’re in a trade dispute – I want to use that word because it’s a nice, soft word – but we’re going to win,” Mr Trump said on Saturday at an event in Indiana. “You know why? ‘Cause we always win.” BLOOMBERG

You are still dreaming!

PLA NAVY WARSHIP TOTAL COUNT ALREADY 10% higher than US NAVY.

PLA any of their regional fleet is bigger than entire UK Royal Navy or French Navy Total Strength.

PLA NAVY is WORLD's FASTEST & MOST ADVANCED UPGRADED / EXPANSION.

Now already 2 aircraft carriers sailing, and 3 more under construction.

Total Carrier & Submarines will exceed US Navy in number and strength and technology level in no time.

Especially Technologies are generation ahead of Chow Ang Moh, with new black magic science that Ang Moh don't even know how to get their own working.

Now Chinese satellites can scan Oceans for deep hidden submarines, even underneath polar ice cap. 2 main types of such radars TERAHERTZ & LASER LIDAR the LASER one soon will become Quantum photon pairing Lidar. Then their hypersonic HGV warheads can accurately hit anywhere on earth rapidly which can never be intercepted. Meaning they hit button you die without any doubt @ any time.

China is bigger stronger richer than USA and have 5X population aka tax payers, it is too easy for China to exceed US military strength by 3X or 5X or 10X, because USA is a bankrupted beggar now. Owing Chinese trillions and trillions of debts. They have no money to arm race Chinese & Russians, and no fucking money to pay debts even!

‘Behave like a normal nation!’ US tells China to obey laws, not cause ‘decades of pain’ globally

Washington is pressuring Beijing to act like a “normal nation” on the world stage, Mike Pompeo has repeated, accusing China, ironically, of disregarding international laws and seeking to impose “decades of pain” around the globe.
“We’re very worried that China will put the people in many countries around the world, in Africa and Central America and Latin America, in a debt trap that will cause those countries decades of pain,” the Secretary of State said on the Laura Ingraham Show, stressing that Donald Trump's administration is the first one to recognize the danger, one which it is more-than-willing to tackle.
China is probably, over the long term, the biggest challenge, national security challenge that faces our country.
For the US, among the biggest threats posed by China is the theft of intellectual property, which Trump has vowed to root out, Pompeo reiterated. Conveniently unsealed on Tuesday, charges by the Justice Department against a group of Chinese intelligence officers who allegedly tried to steal US aviation secrets is the latest “mosaic of our strategic effort” to push back against Beijing, the diplomat noted.

Implementing its vision of “fair and reciprocal trade” with China is also one of the main objectives the White House is currently pursuing. China’s growing economic might around the globe amid the ongoing Sino-American trade war remains a major concern, Pompeo pointed out.
To battle the Chinese threat, the US will continue to engage in a “multi-pronged effort” to force it to “behave like a normal nation on commerce and with respect to the rules of international law,” Pompeo stated.

China’s direct investment in Africa has grown significantly over the years, especially in Algeria, Zambia, Kenya, Republic of Congo, and Nigeria. While there is no official Chinese data, around $143 billion in loans were also extended by the Chinese government, banks and contractors to African nations this century, the China Africa Research Initiative estimates. Beijing has also directed $250 billion in direct investments to the Latin American and Caribbean region (LAC) between 2015 and 2019, in addition to about $500 billion in trade.

The Sino-American trade conflict entered a new stage after tit-for-tat tariff hikes, targeting in total some $260 billion-worth of bilaterally traded goods, came into force in September. While Trump threated more tariff measures to fix last year's $375 billion trade deficit with the world's second-biggest economy, the US has steadily been agitating Beijing closer to its shores, challenging China's sovereignty claims over Taiwan as well as South China and East China Seas, through the 'freedom of navigation' principle.

Cancel all negotiation and meetings and issue GLOBAL ULTIMATUM to whole world, to DIVIDE for WW3.

You are either with China (1B1R) or USA, no neutral will be accepted.

Total Embargo Total Trade & Currency War, and NUKE War to follow all out Economic War.

You either join Dotard or Xijinping / Putin, ban US Dollars, ban US trades, ban all flights to/from USA, ban all ships to/from USA, ban all US banks & firms, ban all civilian travels to/from USA. You join 1B1R will get concession & protection, you betray then you will be ousted and set to be destroyed.

Nuclear war: Hypothetical scenario & Russia's strike options

Many believe that the US withdrawal from the INF treaty could heighten the nuclear standoff risks between Russia and America. Some even claim war is inevitable. What are some possible thermonuclear warfare scenarios?
Most political analysts list the sharp deterioration in the military and political situation in various conflict zones as one of the things that could trigger WWIII and an unavoidable nuclear exchange between the US and Russia.
The conflict zones are listed by the experts either in alphabetical order or from the East to the West, making sure not a single potentially dangerous conflict zone is missed. Usually, it goes like this: the Paracel Islands, India and Pakistan, Afghanistan, Iran and Israel, Syria, and so on.

Obviously, this is a very superficial approach. Even the sharpest deterioration in the Syrian conflict is highly unlikely to trigger a massive nuclear attack on Moscow or Washington.
Most of the experts fail to provide specific reasons that could force Russia and the US into a nuclear exchange.
For instance, if we unleash our imagination, we could hypothetically assume that Iran and Israel might exchange nuclear strikes. But even this conflict is unlikely to spread outside the Middle Eastern theater of war to involve all the members of the global nuclear club.
Despite the fact that US-Russia relations have been deteriorating lately, there are no territorial, financial, or ideological contradictions between the two countries that should bring them to a massive nuclear exchange.
Hence, the nuclear war scenario could only be discussed from a technical point of view. In other words, we first of all need to describe the steps of the process and its main characters.
Commander-in-Chief Gives the Green Light
First, let's talk about the decision-making process. Who gives the order to launch nuclear weapons and what does it look like? Popular opinion is that the president has access to some kind of 'red button', and if he presses this button, he will simultaneously deploy intercontinental ballistic missiles and submarine-launched ballistic missiles.
Many people believe this nonsense, and sometimes we even hear it from experts. This is simply not true. In fact, the reality is totally different. The president gives permission to initiate the unlock and launch procedure in a coded message. Different military units handle the actual launch of intercontinental ballistic missiles and submarine-launched ballistic missiles, as well as cruise missiles with nuclear warheads. But before this happens, the warheads are unlocked by special authorization codes.
READ MORE: Apocalypse in 2019: Is Russia-US war possible?
Basically, individual weapons commanders receive a coded order from the president, take the envelopes with five wax seals from their safe, and open it. They compare the information they received from the president with the contents of the envelope, and decode the message to get the unlock code. The code is entered into the warhead control system, and the Unlock / Permission to Launch signs come on.
The president has in his possession the 'nuclear briefcase' that he would use for initiating the sequence. 'Cheget' is the code name for this nuclear briefcase, which in reality is an automatic system for command and control of Russia's Strategic Nuclear Forces called 'Kazbek'. The other two briefcases are carried by the Russian defense minister and the chief of the General Staff.
Some sources say that it takes confirmation from two briefcases to get the unlock and launch authorization codes. Others say all three have to confirm.
This means that nobody in Russia has the sole power to launch nuclear weapons. The US has a similar system in place.

Russia's nuclear strike options
So what are Russia's strike options? In case of a launch on warning, the Integrated Space System (EKS) and the Early Warning System detect a massive launch of ICBMs from US territories and submarine-launched ballistic missiles and calculate target locations inside Russia and their flight time.
The Russian president receives warning of a missile strike. The Russian leadership makes the decision on a launch on warning. Ground, air, and submarine-launched missiles are unlocked with a code, and in 7-9 minutes there will be a massive launch of strategic nuclear weapons from Russia and the adjacent seas. Time is needed to perform these operations.
In case of a retaliatory strike, the scenario is roughly the same, with the exception that the warheads have already struck Russian territory and the systems have registered nuclear explosions.
The worst case scenario in a nuclear strike is decapitating the country's top executive and military command chains, death of the country's political and military leaders and inability to issue orders to launch a nuclear attack.
This could happen, for instance, in case of a Prompt Global Strike that would seek to paralyze the nation's political and military chain of command and destroy military and political leaders.
This is when the Perimeter (or its modern-day namesake) steps in and makes sure the retaliatory strike is completed in full even in the worst case scenario. There is only tentative data on the Perimeter system, aka the Dead Hand. It is believed that it consists of command posts, command ballistic missiles, receivers and an autonomous control and command system (these names are highly speculative).
Following the decision by the Perimeter system to use strategic nuclear weapons (a decision by what is effectively computer intelligence), a command missile (or missiles) is launched. The head of the missile carries a transmitter that sends a signal to all nuclear arms with special receivers to be launched. ICBMs and submarine-launched missiles are launched automatically.

US' ultimate goal is to strip Russia of its nukes
The decision to carry out a retaliatory strike is taken by the Perimeter system based on multiple sensors across the country, including those measuring seismic, radiation data, and atmospheric pressure that can indicate that a nuclear explosion has taken place. Even in peaceful times, the system can detect where a nuclear device was detonated with almost 100 percent accuracy.
The Dead Hand description I have provided is a highly speculative and far from how the real mechanism operates.
Finally, the last option envisages a pre-emptive nuclear strike. Under the military doctrine, "Russia reserves the right to use nuclear weapons as a response in case it and/or its allies become the target of an attack by nuclear or other weapons of mass destruction as well as in the case of aggression against Russia involving conventional weapons that puts Russia's very existence is under threat."
Any of the nuclear strike options would mean disaster both for the parties involved and other nations around the world. 'Nuclear winter' would set in a short while after the nuclear exchange, which would endanger the lives of those few who would survive the nuclear Armageddon.

Officials from India, Iran, and Russia are going to meet next month to negotiate a large joint project aimed at launching a new cargo transport corridor that could become a cheaper and shorter alternative to the Suez Canal.
The new shipment passage, North-South Transport Corridor (INSTC), is set to connect the Indian Ocean with the Persian Gulf through Iran to Russia and Europe, according to Iranian state-owned news outlet Press TV. The 7,200-kilometers long corridor will combine sea and rail routes.

“The INSTC is the shortest multimodal transportation route linking the Indian Ocean and Persian Gulf via Iran to Russia and North Europe,” India’s Ministry of Commerce and Industry said in a statement, adding that trilateral talks between the parties are scheduled on November 23.
The route will make it possible to deliver cargoes from India to the Iranian port of Bandar Abbas. Then, the goods will be transported by land to Bandar Anzali, Iran’s port on the Caspian Sea. After that, goods will be shipped to the Russian southern port of Astrakhan, from where they will move to Europe by rail.
The new transport artery will potentially reduce the time and costs of shipping by up to 40 percent. Transport time between Mumbai and Moscow will reportedly be reduced to 20 days. Annual capacity of the transport artery is expected to reach 30 million tons.
“All issues may be resolved in order to operationalize the (INSTC) route as early as possible,” according to Indian Commerce Minister Suresh Prabhu, as quoted by the media.
Currently, Indian logistics companies have to route shipments through China, Europe or Iran to get an access to Central Asian markets. The former two ways are reportedly long, time-consuming and inevitably expensive with the Iranian route seen as the most viable.

India is also seeking to fight a trade route to the markets of landlocked Afghanistan, avoiding neighboring Pakistan amid ongoing territorial tensions over the Kashmir. So far, India has committed $500 million for developing Iranian port of Chabahar that is strategically crucial for achieving the goal. For Afghanistan, the corridor through the Iranian sea outlet means billions of dollars in trade and cutting the country’s foreign dependence for transportation aid.
The ambitious INSTC project comes on the back of a broader initiative ‘One Belt One Road’ pushed by China. The multi-trillion-dollar project may potentially include the India-Iran-Russia route into the chain of global shipments in an enormous boon to future business and trade.
