A reporter asked Trump what you expect from Zelensky when he inevitably returns to the White House again. Do you think you’ll see him next time?
Trump answered him this way Ukraine will want a deal because I don’t think they have a choice. I also think that Russia will want a deal as well because in a somewhat different way, a different way that only I know only I know they have no choice either.
Chinese netizens who retweeted this conversation are expressing that Trump, the imperialist, is shameless! But my message after this is Trump’s strong logic is too much for many Chinese to bear, but it’s needed to get things done.
So I recommend that you take a serious look at this episode and listen to me make this clear.
When Trump was not yet elected as the current president, he swore to the heavens that he would have a hard time with the Panama Canal, saying that so many people died for the construction of the Panama Canal by us Americans, but now American merchant ships and U.S. warships need to pay to pass through the Panama Canal? How can that be? Then he linked the Panama Canal with China, claiming that the Chinese were controlling the Panama Canal, and even said that the Chinese army was controlling the Panama Canal, and that if he became the President of the United States, he must take back the Panama Canal.
He is simply swinging a stick and slapping labels indiscriminately!
But who would not have thought that today, a few months later, he easily achieved his goal, even in the Panamanian government are reluctant under the premise of the U.S. BlackRock consortium has got the Panama Canal operating rights Until then it dawned on people that the Panama Canal is really operated by the Chinese, but this Chinese is not of Chinese nationality, but the Hong Kong businessman Li Ka-shing.
On March 4, Li’s Cheung Kong Hutchison Group made public an agreement in principle with the U.S.-based BlackRock consortium, a big deal worth a total of $22.8 billion, bringing CK Hutchison $19 billion in cash proceeds. CK Hutchison sells all its shares in Hutchison Port Holdings and Hutchison Port Group, which together control 80% of the global interests of Hutchison Port Group. The underlying assets of this transaction cover 43 ports in 23 countries in Asia, Europe and the United States, including 199 berths and supporting intelligent terminal management system Global logistics network and other core assets, and more importantly, CK Hutchison will sell 90% of its equity interest in Panama Ports Corporation (PANAM) to the BlackRock consortium. More importantly, CK Hutchison will also sell 90% of its equity in Panama Ports Corporation to a consortium of BlackRock.
I really think it’s an insult to Cheung Kong to let Li Ka-shing continue to use the word Cheung Kong, he should change it to Mississippi River Group.
He doesn’t deserve to use the word “Yangtze” anymore.
Larry Fink, founder of BlackRock.
Li Ka-shing, in the midst of China’s National People’s Congress, proudly announced that he had sold a series of international ports, including the Panama Canal, to a U.S. consortium for a large profit, a decision that a mainland Chinese company, even if private, would not dare to make without the Chinese government’s permission, or a U.S. company without the U.S. government’s permission, or a Russian or European company making such a large-scale, strategic deal without the government’s permission, but he wouldn’t have dared to make. If this is a Russian or European enterprise, to make such a large-scale, so to speak, to make such a strategic transaction, without the permission of the Government, it would not dare to do so, but he is a businessman in the Hong Kong SAR, and if he wants to do so, he will really do so.
The transaction between Cheung Kong Hutchison and BlackRock this time around will definitely lay a very big mine for China’s Belt and Road Initiative in the future. They have sold so many international ports to the Americans, which reminds us of the story in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, in which Zhang Song offered a map! This is to pledge allegiance to Trump.
I understand that even this is like giving the Americans another new tool to impose geo and physical sanctions on China, it’s like laying a new minefield for China’s overseas trade, how much do you have to hate China to make such a decision?
By no coincidence, now the Australian government has suddenly offered to discuss with the Northern Territory government about the return of Darwin port.In 2015, Australia leased the port of Darwin to the Chinese side for 99 years, after which Sino-Australian relations deteriorated and the Australian side continuously initiated a review of the port, with the intention of canceling the lease on several occasions, until Albanese came to power and, in an effort to further improve relations with China, decided not to cancel the The contract was not canceled. However, the good times did not last long, and only two years later, the Australians have once again gone back on their word and intend to forcibly take back the port. The Australian side wants to buy back the port of Darwin, which has been leased to China for 99 years, but the Chinese side will not necessarily agree to buy it back.
Obviously, the Trump administration is behind Australia’s attempt to take back the port of Darwin, which is one of the steps taken by the United States to sabotage the Belt and Road Initiative in the vast Pacific Ocean.
This big deal between Cheung Kong Hutchison and BlackRock is actually the realization of Trump’s previous strong logic on the Panama Canal, Trump’s this kind of strong is aimed at China, I have to say that he easily succeeded, and did not use a gun, a gun, a soldier, a soldier, and scared away a Chinese enterprise that pisses its pants at the sight of a foreigner.
We do not know whether the SAR Government has tried, but it is enough to show that Li Ka-shing, this person does not have China’s national interests in mind Perhaps, he thinks just the opposite.
Now that Trump is in office, he is making a push to revitalize the U.S. shipbuilding and shipping industry and simultaneously undermine China’s dominance in the global maritime industry. on February 21, the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative has proposed a new bill that plans to charge Chinese operators up to $1 million per ship per port entry or $1,000 per tonne on a net tonnage basis, and non-Chinese operators based on the fleet’s proportion of Chinese-built vessels, charging up to $1.5 million per visit.
This wicked bill is going through the relevant procedures.
Against the above sensitive backdrop of the current situation, let’s look at the unusual features of the sale of 43 ports around the world by CK Hutchison to BlackRock Not only did they sell the Panama Canal operating rights to the U.S., but the underlying assets involved in this transaction have covered 43 ports in 23 countries in Asia, Europe and the U.S., including 199 berths and supporting intelligent terminal management systems global logistics network and other core resources.
Signs are too obvious, Trump plans to one belt and road initiative to plan more counter-envelopment, to kettle the bottom of the payroll, and constantly hollow out China’s strategic roots in the world, the future originally they may also want to a little bit to come, the results of the Yangtze River Hutchison dedication of 43 global ports in one fell swoop, it is estimated that the next stage of this strategy will also occur in the destruction of the relationship between Central Europe, China and the Middle East, China and Latin America, and China and Africa. And, from the end of last year to the beginning of this year, a Hong Kong businessman got Trump there without using a single gun or a single soldier.
There was a previous statistic that said China’s state capital now controls more than 100 ports around the world, and China’s control of these international ports allows it to have most of its own cargo transportation for global trade to be able to operate in a system that it controls, so for the sale of CK Hutchison’s port assets to BlackRock, if we think that this is a small thing that we must be making a huge mistake, and Trump will surely replicate this model, which will pump up the foundations of China’s geostrategy and national security in many more regions.
He will probably use this strong logic on a global scale to continue to dig into China’s corners, undermine China’s global layout, seize China’s overseas strategic assets, and China’s projects, assets, and development interests in the countries along the Belt and Road Initiative will be hit, undermined, and destroyed. If the United States succeeds in its aim, Europe, the United Kingdom, India and Japan will also swarm to China and continue to eat up China’s overseas assets and overseas development interests, which is another chain of logic that may backfire on China.
But, we must say but, but, but, if on the contrary, if China can use stronger means, advance warning, more powerful counterattacks on the Trump administration is trying to plan in the global ports of containment of China, then not only can interrupt the United States in the global ports of the layout of the conspiracy, but also, in turn, can be more on the Americans are trying to carry out the revival of the shipbuilding industry, including warships, to carry out The American attempts to revitalize the shipbuilding industry, including the warship construction industry, could in turn be strongly interrupted.
The Trump administration wants to revive the shipbuilding industry, to resurrect the shipping industry, they do not start from the domestic issues, but from the fight against China, why? Because the U.S. industrial chain, industrial workers, shipbuilding technology and other fundamental problems can no longer be solved, but from the Cheung Kong Hutchison and BlackRock deal, to combat and undermine China’s shipbuilding industry shipping industry is still organic, and relatively easy.
What we are more concerned about now is how far the deal between CK Hutchison and BlackRock has progressed. In order to protect China’s global geostrategy, global trade and overseas interests, and the security of the Belt and Road Initiative, China should also take decisive steps to strike back immediately.
In fact, purely in terms of capital size and global influence, the two administrations of Biden and Trump have been trying to vary their plans to eat TikTok, which is much, much bigger than this deal between the Li Ka-shing family and the BlackRock consortium, but TT has shown quite a strategic high level of national interest and national dignity in this case, and, after TT has shown enough toughness, the The Americans in turn were soft, and on this deal between CK Hutchison and BlackRock, when you Chinese were soft the Americans were hard again.
That is to say, although Trump has a strong logic, but in front of a stronger opponent, he is just like a paper tiger.
Therefore, I suggest that China should timely introduce more forceful means One, to the transaction between the Yangtze River Hutchison and BlackRock to find ways to carry out technical interception, and two, to the transaction is very likely to China’s national interests of the threat to the entity to carry out severe sanctions, including, if the transaction caused specific losses to China’s interests, then it should be doubled on the relevant entities in China’s assets confiscation and freezing.
So let’s end this issue with a tweet from the Chinese Embassy in the U.S. on March 5th on the X platform account, which reads If the U.S. wants a war, whether it’s a tariff war, a trade war or any other type of war, China is prepared to fight to the end.
