  • China and the UK are attempting to reset their relationship — here's how

    From cnbc.com

    After years of strained ties, China and the U.K. are looking to develop a long-term strategic partnership following a high-stakes meeting between Chinese President Xi Jinping and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer. Starmer is on a 4-day visit to China, the first trip by a British prime minister in eight years — signaling an attempt at resetting relations between the two countries after years of distrust and acrimony.

This is a common theme now ; global diversification away from the US after the isolationist policies and tariffs .

Somehow this is intended to “ Make America Great “ ; let’s see the result of this further down the line from an historical context. I’d wager it’s counter intuitive and will have the opposite effect , no man ( or country ) is an island in a global economy . I expect a lot of back tracking of this revisionist agenda from this administration as strains start to show in the US economy .

Well said!
Totally agree that, maybe in the short term will have major volatility and minimal visible pivots on the US economy. saying that in the LONG run, US lost billions upon billions on trades, the trust has been broken, new deals been made around the US, and the US economy (Farming, Auto's etc..) will suffer.

The next administration will need to work very very hard to restore some trust.
The movie continues...

Hello brothers. I am a Japanese hobby trader living in Chiang Rai, Thailand. My English is still poor, sorry. This China and UK news is very big! I agree with Vancarbon. In Asia, I feel China's influence is growing every day. Maybe countries are looking for new partners because of US tariffs. Global economy is very complex. NotAtrader, you suggest buy AUD/USD. AUD is very sensitive to China news, right? I want to learn more from your great wisdom. Thank you!

You might be right but the UK and EU position is desperate - its a double whammy of few resources and complete incompetence. 12 percent of the worlds population and 60 percent of benefit payments just at the same time as debt rockets and believability in the system dies. Its tough times ahead and there are no signs whatsoever of anybody in the wings with brains bigger than this miniscule lot.
