  • Kishida, Pelosi agree peace, stability in Taiwan Strait important

    From english.kyodonews.net

    Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida and U.S. House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi agreed Friday on the importance of peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait amid a flare-up in tensions since her visit to the self-ruled island. Following the Chinese military's launch a day earlier of ballistic missiles that fell within Japan's exclusive economic zone as part of military drills around Taiwan, Kishida told Pelosi that China's behavior seriously affects the peace and stability of the region and beyond. Kishida told reporters after the meeting he expressed hopes for Pelosi's leadership in achieving a free and ... (full story)

The real question is why is Pelosi doing this knowing full well that it will inflame relationships with China. Diplomatic moves like this will push China and Russia into each others arms, why would you do this?

Nato has 3.5 million troop Russia has only 1 million troops.

So a battle between Russia and NATO shows that Russia is outnumbered 3:1 In these conditions Russia is likely to use nuclear weapons.

China has 2.8 million troops, so China and Russia combined 3.8 million, now we are talking a even battle, Russia is unlikely to go nuclear. It would likely end up being a battle fought in Europe, that would gain the support of the American people.

So as this situation develops what are the trading opportunities, certainly buying the dollar and selling the EURO is a good opportunity, this goes for the GBP as the UK will also be pulled into the conflict if it kicks off.

Keeping your eye on this situation and the response from China, once the pieces are in place the situation will escalate rapidly.

Of all the things she has done this has to be some of the most stupid I ever saw. China and the rest of the world knows damn well where the US stands in the Taiwan conflict. So doing what she did is hard to interpret different than a intentional provocation. It serves no purpose. But we knew that China had to react to this not to loose out. What an idiot she is

yes , there is more money to be made by wars than by peace.
and we all know which country supplied arms and munitions to both sides of WW1 and WWII , and not to mention all the others since then.

Also, there is only one nation that has the power to shut the Russian invation of Ukraine, China. Forget about the western sanctions and what not. It will not end before Russia has gotten part of Ukraine or China tells Russia the depart. The latter just got postponed a lot I believe.

    Statement on Monetary Policy - August 2022

    From rba.gov.au|Aug 4, 2022

    Inflation is high globally and has risen further in recent months. Strong demand, supported by monetary and fiscal stimulus, has come up against global supply capacity that continues to be impaired by the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, some energy and food prices are higher as a result of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Inflation has already reached 7–10 per cent in many economies and is expected to peak later and higher than previously thought. Unemployment rates remain around generational lows in most advanced economies. The rapid increase in the cost of living is reducing real incomes. High inflation has also led central banks to increase interest rates quite quickly. Together, these developments are weighing on the outlook for global growth. The slowing in growth is expected to be driven by an easing in household consumption growth. Lower asset prices could also contribute to the downward pressure on consumption.
