Economic pressures

[Danny B]

OK, Neo-liberal economics is just a stepped-up scheme for robbing the working man of the fruits of his labor.
It has been pushed all over the world. It severely damaged Russia.
At this moment, Soros is vigorously pushing China to adopt Neo-Liberal economics.

Mikey, you like to investigate stuff. I have something that is potentially earthshaking.
Trump issued a bunch of executive orders. There is one in particular that is very interesting.
EO 13959 is about divestiture of assets that are owned or controlled by the Chinese government.
Here is the order,

https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2020/11/17/2020-25459/addressing-the-threat-from-securities-investments-that-finance-communist-chinese-military-companies

So, what would be the effect?

A Little Dose of Reality.

In the future China will employ millions of American workers and dominate thousands of small communities all over the United States . Chinese acquisition of U.S. businesses set a new all-time record last year, and it is on pace to shatter that record this year.

The Smithfield Foods acquisition is an example. Smithfield Foods is the largest pork producer and processor in the world. It has facilities in 26 U.S. states and it employs tens of thousands of Americans. It directly owns 460 farms and has contracts with approximately 2,100 others.

But in 2013, during the Obama/Biden Administration, a Chinese company bought it and its subsidiaries, for $ 4.7 billion, and that means that the Chinese will now be the most important employer in dozens of rural communities all over America.

Thanks in part to our massively bloated trade deficit with China, the Chinese have trillions of dollars to spend. They are only just starting to exercise their economic muscle.

It is important to keep in mind that there is often not much of a difference between “the Chinese government” and “Chinese corporations”. In 2011, 43 percent of all profits in China were produced by companies where the Chinese government had a controlling interest in.

Last year a Chinese company spent $2.6 billion to purchase AMC entertainment – one of the largest movie theater chains in the United States. Now that Chinese company controls more movie ticket sales than anyone else in the world.

But China is not just relying on acquisitions to expand its economic power.

“Economic beachheads” are being established all over America. For example, Golden Dragon Precise Copper Tube Group, Inc. recently broke ground on a $100 million plant in Thomasville, Alabama. Many of the residents of Thomasville, Alabama will be glad to have jobs, but it will also become yet another community that will now be heavily dependent on communist China.

And guess where else Chinese companies are putting down roots? Detroit.

Chinese-owned companies are investing in American businesses and new vehicle technology, selling everything from seat belts to shock absorbers in retail stores, and hiring experienced engineers and designers in an effort to soak up the talent and expertise of domestic automakers and their suppliers. If you recently purchased an “American-made” vehicle, there is a really good chance that it has a number of Chinese parts in it. Industry analysts are hard-pressed to put a number on the Chinese suppliers operating in the United States.

China seems particularly interested in acquiring energy resources in the United States.

For example, China is actually mining for coal in the mountains of Tennessee.

Guizhou Gouchuang Energy Holdings Group spent 616 million dollars to acquire Triple H Coal Co. in Jacksboro, Tennessee. At the time, that acquisition really didn’t make much news, but now a group of conservatives in Tennessee is trying to stop the Chinese from blowing up their mountains and taking their coal.

And pretty soon China may want to build entire cities in the United States just like they have been doing in other countries. Right now, China is actually building a city larger than Manhattan just outside Minsk, the capital of Belarus.

Are you starting to get the picture?

China is on the rise. If you doubt this, just read the following:

* When you total up all imports and exports, China is now the number one trading nation on the entire planet.
* Overall, the U.S. has run a trade deficit with China over the past decade that comes to more than 2.3 trillion dollars.
* China has more foreign currency reserves than anyone else on the planet.
* China now has the largest new car market in the entire world.
* China now produces more than twice as many automobiles as the United States does.
* After being bailed out by U.S. taxpayers, GM is involved in 11 joint ventures with Chinese companies.
* China is the number one gold producer in the world.
* The uniforms for the U.S. Olympic team were made in China.
* 85% of all artificial Christmas trees the world over are made in China.
* The new World Trade Center tower in New York is going to include glass imported from China .
* China now consumes more energy than the United States does.
* China is now in aggregate the leading manufacturer of goods in the entire world.
* China uses more cement than the rest of the world combined.
* China is now the number one producer of wind and solar power on the entire globe.
* China produces 3 times as much coal and 11 times as much steel as the United States does.
* China produces more than 90 percent of the global supply of rare earth elements.
* China is now the number one supplier of components that are critical to the operation of any national defense system.
* In published scientific research articles China is expected to become the number one in the world very shortly.

Citing the nonpartisan economic think-tank Paulson Institute, an American Security Institute report underscores that "Chinese firms and investors own a controlling majority in nearly 2,400 U.S. companies." In addition to owning Smithfield and its subsidiaries, General Electric Appliance Division, IBM, General Motors, Spotify, Snapchat, Hilton Hotels, AMC Theaters, Tik Tok, and many others -- purchases that predominately occurred during the Obama/Biden Administration -- they also own The Chicago Stock Exchange, Legend Entertainment Group (movie studios... maker of such films as Jurassic Park), The Waldorf Astoria, Strategic Hotels and Resorts, Riot Games, Motorola, Ingram Micro (distributor of iPhones), Sheraton Universal and Marriott Downtown in Los Angeles, Terex Corporation (earth moving equipment that used to be owned by GM), Teledyne Continental Engines (aircraft powerplants), Morgan Stanley, VISA, Blackstone, Ford, Chesapeake Energy, and American social news aggregation site Reddit.

Most of the money borrowed by the U.S. Government comes from China and we pay it back with interest. All of the spending Biden wants to do for his "infrastructure plan" and is doing will be done WITH MONEY BORROWED FROM CHINA. In 2015, at the tail end of the Obama/Biden Administration, China had an estimated $4 trillion of foreign reserves stashed away in various foreign investments. The United States was the largest recipient of Chinese money back then.

So the next time you wonder why China has such influence, even in the US, you will already have an idea why.

In recent years, the Chinese have regarded America as one big yard sale, snatching up distressed companies and anything else that gives the world’s second-largest economy a leg up on U.S. technology at bargain-basement prices. That giant shopping spree is financed by a currency that -- unlike the dollar -- is controlled by the government.

President Donald Trump was well aware of this. He labeled China a “currency manipulator,” slapped its products with huge tariffs and promised to bring back jobs from overseas.

However, by owning U.S. businesses, the Chinese control the products these companies produce and the people they employ. Dislodging China’s grip on American business will require a lot more than tough talk.

China Firms Cashing Out of Overseas Bets at Near-Record Pace

(Bloomberg) -- Just a few years ago, Chinese firms spent lavishly overseas on everything from luxury hotels to soccer clubs. Now they are heading for the exit amid rising demand for anything that throws off cash.
Companies in China announced divestment plans of their overseas assets worth $10.5 billion so far this year, the second-highest total since at least 1998, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. At the current pace, 2021 could surpass last year’s $15 billion sum.
“These days Chinese companies are proactively looking at their asset portfolios, rather than simply buying,” Bagrin Angelov, head of China cross-border mergers and acquisitions at China International Capital Corp., said in an interview. “When there is a good offer, they are open to at least evaluate it.”


Some of the areas seeing renewed interest include waste treatment businesses, with state-backed Beijing Capital Group Co. and Beijing Enterprises Holdings Ltd. are considering sales of their overseas holdings. China Tianying Inc. in June agreed to sell its Spanish waste management company Urbaser SA for $1.8 billion.
Unlike once-acquisitive conglomerates such as China Evergrande Group and HNA Group Co., which are now busy shedding assets to reduce debt, the current crop of Chinese sellers mostly aren’t in financial distress. Instead, they are disposing of holdings -- particularly those with strong cash flows -- whose valuations have surged as investors sift through the wreckage left behind by the pandemic, searching for profitable assets amid low interest rates.

Infrastructure and utilities are among the types of assets that Chinese firms are considering divesting. Beijing Capital is seeking $1 billion from a sale of its New Zealand business that it bought for about $667 million in 2014, Bloomberg News reported earlier.
China Three Gorges Corp. is nearing a deal to sell a 25% stake in its overseas renewable energy asset portfolio that could be valued at as much as $2 billion, people familiar with the matter have said.
“It’s good timing for these companies to monetize,” Miranda Zhao, head of mergers and acquisitions for Asia Pacific at Natixis SA, said in an interview. “These assets provide healthy yields under the current low interest-rate environment and are attractive to other strategic investors in the region or infrastructure funds.”
Foreign Scrutiny
Chinese firms raising cash from such sales would find it difficult to plow that money back into other overseas assets, given the increased scrutiny from foreign governments since the start of the coronavirus pandemic.
Last year, Australia, India and the European Union all tightened their rules for screening takeover proposals by foreign firms, moves widely seen as targeting China. As a result, overseas acquisition volumes by the country’s firms fell.
China’s Creat Group Corp. is considering selling its stake in German blood plasma supplier Biotest AG, which it bought in 2018. The pharmaceutical group now aims to reverse the deal -- intended at the time to be the cornerstone of its overseas expansion -- after the Committee on Foreign Investment in the U.S. hampered its ability to tap the global market.
While divestments help some Chinese firms recoup some of the money and channel it to other areas or regions of focus, others may want to hold on as acquisitions become more difficult in the current geopolitical climate. The U.K. government opened a probe in July into the takeover of the country’s biggest chip plant by Chinese-owned Nexperia NV.
“It’s one but not the only factor to consider,” said Natixis’ Zhao. “If the Chinese owners think it’s important for them to have a presence in certain regions or the target has certain technologies and synergies to be explored, they’d keep it.”
Other Chinese companies have been burned by bets outside their core businesses. Suning Holdings Group Co., which started as an appliance retailer, tried this year to sell out of indebted Italian soccer team FC Internazionale Milano SpA. The club agreed to a bailout deal with Oaktree Capital Group in May that could result in Suning losing control.
Steelmaker Jiangsu Shagang Group Co. is eyeing a sale of London-based data center operator Global Switch Holdings Ltd. that could value it at 8 billion pounds ($11 billion), Bloomberg News has reported. In June, property tycoon Lu Zhiqiang’s China Oceanwide Holdings Group Co. agreed to sell IDG, the U.S. publisher behind Computerworld magazine, to Blackstone Inc.
