China’s Army is Deploying | World War Prep
FULL TRANSCRIPT
so yesterday I explained how China
founded their statements and the acts of
Xi Jinping their Premiere now re-elected
and other officials have been basically
embracing capitalism in the face of
losing their manufacturing clout as
companies like Apple start fleeing to
Vietnam and India covered zero policies
a real estate bubble and subsequent
collapse and saber rattling really left
China looking like a hostile place for
business and in recent months the
Chinese Communist leadership has made it
clear they've tasted capitalism and they
want more in fact apples Tim Cook just
met with Xi Jinping and Elon Musk just
announced a new mega pack facility in
Shanghai which expanding in Shanghai and
China is actually something that I've
been encouraging since about April of
2022 and the reason I've been
encouraging it is because I I know that
China has tasted capitalism and they
want more of it like let's go give me
more give me more I gotta have more
capitalism so I thought gosh that would
be a fantastic and easy place for you to
build more factories Tesla especially
since places like Berlin Germany is
substantially more difficult to build or
California now this comes as uh you know
obviously China brags about how
successful Tesla is in China with their
original Tesla Shanghai facility really
Tesla is like an advertisement for how
great doing business is in China well I
thought cooler heads would Prevail this
time around and much like last August
Nancy Pelosi visited Taiwan in August
and then China conducted incredible
military drills and uh and potentially
at one point launched missiles over
Taiwan and completely encircled Taiwan
with uh with basically military
exercises and I thought this time around
maybe cooler heads would Prevail and and
we wouldn't see those sorts of drills
again and so yesterday morning when we
were we we spoke about my thoughts on
China I said I think you know China is
going to be a little bit more chill this
time around look they're not conducting
any exercises uh in the face of uh the
president of Taiwan meeting Kevin
McCarthy in California well I was wrong
almost within hours of my video on China
uh I was able to pitch a 69 off CPI
coupon code for the programs I'm
building your wealth link down below
which you can now use buy now pay later
for uh but then also we got this chart
here which shows that China is once
again encircling Taiwan with military
exercises being conducted across the
median long line of the Taiwan Strait
and you have uh military fleets
surrounding Taiwan military exercises
are scheduled for April 8th to April
10th these exercises will be conducted
uh over these days and Taiwan has
reported that there are 71 people's
Liberation Army aircraft nine warships
all of them crossing the median line in
the Taiwan Straits and these units are
conducted conducting simulated strikes
on designated targets that they're
establishing in uh in the territorial
Waters of Taiwan uh right outside of
Taiwan now the now they're a little
closer or a little further away than
those territorial water lines uh uh you
can kind of see that but see that blue
outline the territorial Waters the last
time China conducted drills they were
much closer to Taiwan and much more dare
I say disrespectful uh in terms of where
they were launching missiles now none of
this is of course respectful but the
last time was very severe you got a lot
of press attention however we have some
facts here according to Bloomberg the
drills this time seem to be different
they seem to be quote substantially
smaller in scale and don't include the
imposition of any exclusive zones in
airspace or Waters now remember China
potentially flew missiles over Taiwan in
August that is not what we are seeing
now and so while initially I said crap
I'm wrong I said China's not conducting
drills this is great they're enjoying
capitalism and they're trying to be a
little bit more reasonable instead of
say we're rattling so loudly loudly
scaring people away uh they're going to
be more relaxed this time around well
then initially I thought crap I'm wrong
here come the drills just hours after I
posted my video but now when I look a
little bit deeper maybe I'm actually not
wrong and and maybe I'm biased but I'm
willing to be wrong but what I think is
happening now is largely symbolic see I
think China and this is my opinion China
has the belief that if you poke China we
will punch the air to make sure you know
we're awake think about that it's kind
of like China gets poked by this
Taiwanese President visiting Kevin
McCarthy the Speaker of the House the
third person in line to the presidency
China's like
right punched in the air and and they're
doing that because they want to make the
world to know
don't mess with China now that's
actually very different from the
embarrassment of America right now in
the Middle East which is not the fault
of our troops in the Middle East it's
the fault of our Administration and I
would say this no matter which
Administration it is left or right you
all know that I'm I do my best to be in
the middle uh and the reality is
right now in America according to the
Wall Street Journal out of 78 times our
military has been attacked we have only
responded three times with force that is
embarrassing that is an embarrassing
ratio
violent criminals in the Middle East
know that they have less than a five to
six percent chance actually less than
five percent chance of being responded
to by the U.S military even as they
shoot Rockets at our Americans and our
contractors in the Middle East it's
pathetic so I believe that China is
actually holding drills as a as as
potentially the
people would expect of China
not me I didn't expect it so I I will
take the L on that but I actually just
revise sort of my thesis and thinking
okay well maybe this is just that's just
the way China is the fact that these
drills are not escalatory though and the
fact that they are actually
a very watered-down version of the
drills we saw in August
shows that capitalistic sign of
improvement that we were looking at
yesterday
so I maintain that my thesis holds that
in the next decade it is more likely in
my opinion that China will partner with
Taiwan to grow their economies and their
GDP substantially together
then it is likely that China actually
invades Taiwan that is my belief this
means in my opinion China is not
actually flip-flopping here on their
goals of of of of capitalism they're
just staying true to their nature
I actually call what happens in China I
I came up with a phrase for this I call
what China is doing socialism with
opportunistic capitalism it's kind of
like everything is built on Central
planning and socialism but they throw
the salt and pepper of capitalism on top
and as a result they have to maintain
their impression in the worldwide uh
sort of in the world theater that hey
don't mess with China how dare you it
you know uh
question are uh territorial Integrity uh
China owns Taiwan and Taiwan belongs to
us right that appears to be what China
is trying to say and they have to keep
that impression going but do we really
think that they're increasing the odds
of going to war in my opinion the answer
to that is no and the difference in the
drills that we're seeing is highly uh
exemplary uh or exemplifies exactly this
thesis now we'll see obviously I expect
uh over the next few um
few days we'll see how these drills end
up I think they'll end up very benign I
actually think they'll get relatively
little press coverage I actually think
China doesn't necessarily want there to
be a lot of press coverage around these
of course they'll be covered but look at
this the drills were orchestrated
conveniently around the same time as
Tesla is announcing a new deal to build
a factory with Tesla for Mega packs and
I think that actually reiterates my
thesis because look at that they timed
the drill for when they could announce a
big capitalistic announcement take a
look at this when you go to the front
page of Bloomberg not only are you going
to see on screen uh my
69 off coupon code for the programs of
building your wealth you can now use buy
now pay later for but look at this what
do you have on the front page of
Bloomberg the very first article Tesla
to build New Shanghai Factory
Tesla tripled Austin Workforce a lot of
Tesla information here U.S consumer
prices where do we have China here or
China I see no China I see nothing about
the China war yet I mean I would expect
to see something on the front page let's
do a find China
look at this look at this on the front
page of Bloomberg uh Airbus to build New
China jet Factory as Apple pulls back
Tesla to build new Factory in China
Apple at Heart of U.S selective
decoupling
uh reality check how influential is
China right now look at this
nothing there's nothing on the front
page number about uh the the military
exercises now in my opinion that is
actually exactly what China wants
you know for anyone paying attention
uh they are conducting military
exercises but for everybody else what do
they care about not this in fact look at
this okay watch this this is incredible
uh you can't see anything and there we
go okay so watch this this is the South
China Morning Post
look at this this is a a Chinese
propaganda okay what do they have here
macron trip hailed as success with the
um uh French President right these are
your front page stories why the U.S
ideological struggle against China must
not succeed okay Chinese propaganda so
the most important stories to them are
uh positive relations with with France
uh and and still winning against their
enemies though right let's see here we
go
on here you have a sort of a byline
China's pla
simulates Taiwan strikes on day two of
joint sharp sword drills fantastic I'm
actually surprised they're not pitching
uh the Tesla deal as much here I don't
know maybe have they not woken up yet
see they actually aren't on their
propaganda site they're not pitching in
as much that's very interesting it shows
you a little bit of the difference
between Chinese propaganda and American
propaganda in China they're like look
we're meeting with world leaders and
we're conducting exercises and the US
won't succeed but then you go to U.S
media and what are we getting today
nothing about the Kevin McCarthy meeting
or the Nancy Pelosi uh drama we had last
time instead about how much people are
actually building like Airbus and Tesla
in uh in China it's very interesting I
mean let's look at the Airbus piece for
a moment Airbus to build a new China jet
Factory as Apple pulls back Airbus will
double its production capacity in China
of its top selling jet in a bold bet on
the on future demand and one of the
world's largest Aviation markets the
European plane maker will add a second
final assembly line for the A320 narrow
bodies at an existing Factory in China
and so they're adding a second assembly
line got it okay so they're expanding an
existing Factory the move is a boost for
Chinese manufacturing as other firms
like apple rethink production now
they've been regularly talking about
going to Vietnam or India but who knows
Tim Cook just met in China maybe maybe
they'll expand in both places who knows
Airbus however looked set to leave China
without a new plane order during
macron's three-day State visit despite
intensive talks over the past weekend
with Chinese customers Bloomberg
recorded reported this week that the
company was now targeting a follow-on
order that would include a350s and
possibly a330s
Airbus remained optimistic about winning
business in China all right very
interesting so it's it's an interesting
way to uh to to think about what's going
on in China nobody knows with certainty
right and that's what I want to be clear
about as well nobody knows with absolute
certainty but I believe the fears of an
invasion in Taiwan uh by China are
relatively over uh blown I agree with
Ronald here in the chat that China is
very calculating I completely agree
about that uh shurish here says China is
scared from India India is the great
hedge to China unless China flip-flops
and becomes buddies with India that's
true but India knows China can't be
trusted uh shurish says I don't think
the situation will escalate
we lost my crown during the Trump
presidency Hall uh guy ladouche says
Kevin war is inevitable
yeah I disagree with that well I mean I
appreciate the thought but I but I
disagree with it so anyway that's my
thesis it gives you a follow-up on
what's going on with China and this
potential fear-mongering around an
invasion in Taiwan I I don't think it's
going to happen but uh we're going to
continue to do to study it and I think
every day that we continue to study it
uh we we could see whether we're getting
closer or further away I think the
de-escalation in military exercises
relative to Nancy Pelosi's visit are
very clear indication that uh China's
not interested in escalating military
exercises beyond what they've done in
the past if anything they're
de-escalating at the same time as
de-escalating what are they doing
what they're announcing new Factory
plans with Tesla and Airbus
so anyway my thoughts on China
