0:00

so yesterday I explained how China

0:02

founded their statements and the acts of

0:03

Xi Jinping their Premiere now re-elected

0:06

and other officials have been basically

0:09

embracing capitalism in the face of

0:11

losing their manufacturing clout as

0:13

companies like Apple start fleeing to

0:15

Vietnam and India covered zero policies

0:18

a real estate bubble and subsequent

0:20

collapse and saber rattling really left

0:23

China looking like a hostile place for

0:25

business and in recent months the

0:27

Chinese Communist leadership has made it

0:28

clear they've tasted capitalism and they

0:32

want more in fact apples Tim Cook just

0:34

met with Xi Jinping and Elon Musk just

0:37

announced a new mega pack facility in

0:40

Shanghai which expanding in Shanghai and

0:43

China is actually something that I've

0:44

been encouraging since about April of

0:47

2022 and the reason I've been

0:49

encouraging it is because I I know that

0:51

China has tasted capitalism and they

0:53

want more of it like let's go give me

0:55

more give me more I gotta have more

0:56

capitalism so I thought gosh that would

0:58

be a fantastic and easy place for you to

1:00

build more factories Tesla especially

1:02

since places like Berlin Germany is

1:05

substantially more difficult to build or

1:06

California now this comes as uh you know

1:10

obviously China brags about how

1:11

successful Tesla is in China with their

1:13

original Tesla Shanghai facility really

1:15

Tesla is like an advertisement for how

1:17

great doing business is in China well I

1:19

thought cooler heads would Prevail this

1:21

time around and much like last August

1:23

Nancy Pelosi visited Taiwan in August

1:26

and then China conducted incredible

1:28

military drills and uh and potentially

1:31

at one point launched missiles over

1:33

Taiwan and completely encircled Taiwan

1:36

with uh with basically military

1:38

exercises and I thought this time around

1:41

maybe cooler heads would Prevail and and

1:43

we wouldn't see those sorts of drills

1:45

again and so yesterday morning when we

1:47

were we we spoke about my thoughts on

1:49

China I said I think you know China is

1:52

going to be a little bit more chill this

1:53

time around look they're not conducting

1:55

any exercises uh in the face of uh the

1:58

president of Taiwan meeting Kevin

1:59

McCarthy in California well I was wrong

2:03

almost within hours of my video on China

2:07

uh I was able to pitch a 69 off CPI

2:12

coupon code for the programs I'm

2:13

building your wealth link down below

2:14

which you can now use buy now pay later

2:15

for uh but then also we got this chart

2:18

here which shows that China is once

2:20

again encircling Taiwan with military

2:22

exercises being conducted across the

2:25

median long line of the Taiwan Strait

2:27

and you have uh military fleets

2:29

surrounding Taiwan military exercises

2:32

are scheduled for April 8th to April

2:33

10th these exercises will be conducted

2:36

uh over these days and Taiwan has

2:39

reported that there are 71 people's

2:41

Liberation Army aircraft nine warships

2:44

all of them crossing the median line in

2:47

the Taiwan Straits and these units are

2:49

conducted conducting simulated strikes

2:52

on designated targets that they're

2:54

establishing in uh in the territorial

2:56

Waters of Taiwan uh right outside of

2:59

Taiwan now the now they're a little

3:01

closer or a little further away than

3:03

those territorial water lines uh uh you

3:07

can kind of see that but see that blue

3:08

outline the territorial Waters the last

3:11

time China conducted drills they were

3:13

much closer to Taiwan and much more dare

3:16

I say disrespectful uh in terms of where

3:20

they were launching missiles now none of

3:21

this is of course respectful but the

3:23

last time was very severe you got a lot

3:25

of press attention however we have some

3:28

facts here according to Bloomberg the

3:31

drills this time seem to be different

3:33

they seem to be quote substantially

3:36

smaller in scale and don't include the

3:39

imposition of any exclusive zones in

3:41

airspace or Waters now remember China

3:45

potentially flew missiles over Taiwan in

3:47

August that is not what we are seeing

3:50

now and so while initially I said crap

3:53

I'm wrong I said China's not conducting

3:56

drills this is great they're enjoying

3:58

capitalism and they're trying to be a

3:59

little bit more reasonable instead of

4:01

say we're rattling so loudly loudly

4:04

scaring people away uh they're going to

4:07

be more relaxed this time around well

4:08

then initially I thought crap I'm wrong

4:11

here come the drills just hours after I

4:13

posted my video but now when I look a

4:16

little bit deeper maybe I'm actually not

4:18

wrong and and maybe I'm biased but I'm

4:21

willing to be wrong but what I think is

4:23

happening now is largely symbolic see I

4:26

think China and this is my opinion China

4:29

has the belief that if you poke China we

4:33

will punch the air to make sure you know

4:35

we're awake think about that it's kind

4:38

of like China gets poked by this

4:41

Taiwanese President visiting Kevin

4:43

McCarthy the Speaker of the House the

4:45

third person in line to the presidency

4:46

China's like

4:47

right punched in the air and and they're

4:50

doing that because they want to make the

4:53

world to know

4:54

don't mess with China now that's

4:56

actually very different from the

4:58

embarrassment of America right now in

5:00

the Middle East which is not the fault

5:01

of our troops in the Middle East it's

5:03

the fault of our Administration and I

5:05

would say this no matter which

5:06

Administration it is left or right you

5:07

all know that I'm I do my best to be in

5:09

the middle uh and the reality is

5:12

right now in America according to the

5:14

Wall Street Journal out of 78 times our

5:16

military has been attacked we have only

5:18

responded three times with force that is

5:21

embarrassing that is an embarrassing

5:23

ratio

5:24

violent criminals in the Middle East

5:27

know that they have less than a five to

5:29

six percent chance actually less than

5:30

five percent chance of being responded

5:32

to by the U.S military even as they

5:35

shoot Rockets at our Americans and our

5:38

contractors in the Middle East it's

5:40

pathetic so I believe that China is

5:42

actually holding drills as a as as

5:44

potentially the

5:46

people would expect of China

5:48

not me I didn't expect it so I I will

5:51

take the L on that but I actually just

5:54

revise sort of my thesis and thinking

5:55

okay well maybe this is just that's just

5:58

the way China is the fact that these

6:00

drills are not escalatory though and the

6:02

fact that they are actually

6:04

a very watered-down version of the

6:06

drills we saw in August

6:08

shows that capitalistic sign of

6:11

improvement that we were looking at

6:12

yesterday

6:13

so I maintain that my thesis holds that

6:17

in the next decade it is more likely in

6:20

my opinion that China will partner with

6:22

Taiwan to grow their economies and their

6:24

GDP substantially together

6:27

then it is likely that China actually

6:29

invades Taiwan that is my belief this

6:32

means in my opinion China is not

6:35

actually flip-flopping here on their

6:36

goals of of of of capitalism they're

6:39

just staying true to their nature

6:42

I actually call what happens in China I

6:44

I came up with a phrase for this I call

6:47

what China is doing socialism with

6:50

opportunistic capitalism it's kind of

6:53

like everything is built on Central

6:54

planning and socialism but they throw

6:56

the salt and pepper of capitalism on top

6:58

and as a result they have to maintain

7:01

their impression in the worldwide uh

7:03

sort of in the world theater that hey

7:07

don't mess with China how dare you it

7:09

you know uh

7:11

question are uh territorial Integrity uh

7:15

China owns Taiwan and Taiwan belongs to

7:19

us right that appears to be what China

7:22

is trying to say and they have to keep

7:24

that impression going but do we really

7:26

think that they're increasing the odds

7:28

of going to war in my opinion the answer

7:31

to that is no and the difference in the

7:33

drills that we're seeing is highly uh

7:37

exemplary uh or exemplifies exactly this

7:40

thesis now we'll see obviously I expect

7:43

uh over the next few um

7:45

few days we'll see how these drills end

7:48

up I think they'll end up very benign I

7:51

actually think they'll get relatively

7:52

little press coverage I actually think

7:54

China doesn't necessarily want there to

7:56

be a lot of press coverage around these

7:57

of course they'll be covered but look at

7:59

this the drills were orchestrated

8:02

conveniently around the same time as

8:05

Tesla is announcing a new deal to build

8:09

a factory with Tesla for Mega packs and

8:13

I think that actually reiterates my

8:15

thesis because look at that they timed

8:18

the drill for when they could announce a

8:21

big capitalistic announcement take a

8:25

look at this when you go to the front

8:27

page of Bloomberg not only are you going

8:29

to see on screen uh my

8:32

69 off coupon code for the programs of

8:34

building your wealth you can now use buy

8:35

now pay later for but look at this what

8:37

do you have on the front page of

8:39

Bloomberg the very first article Tesla

8:41

to build New Shanghai Factory

8:44

Tesla tripled Austin Workforce a lot of

8:47

Tesla information here U.S consumer

8:49

prices where do we have China here or

8:51

China I see no China I see nothing about

8:54

the China war yet I mean I would expect

8:56

to see something on the front page let's

8:58

do a find China

9:00

look at this look at this on the front

9:01

page of Bloomberg uh Airbus to build New

9:04

China jet Factory as Apple pulls back

9:06

Tesla to build new Factory in China

9:09

Apple at Heart of U.S selective

9:11

decoupling

9:13

uh reality check how influential is

9:15

China right now look at this

9:18

nothing there's nothing on the front

9:20

page number about uh the the military

9:24

exercises now in my opinion that is

9:27

actually exactly what China wants

9:30

you know for anyone paying attention

9:32

uh they are conducting military

9:34

exercises but for everybody else what do

9:37

they care about not this in fact look at

9:40

this okay watch this this is incredible

9:42

uh you can't see anything and there we

9:46

go okay so watch this this is the South

9:51

China Morning Post

9:52

look at this this is a a Chinese

9:56

propaganda okay what do they have here

9:59

macron trip hailed as success with the

10:03

um uh French President right these are

10:06

your front page stories why the U.S

10:08

ideological struggle against China must

10:10

not succeed okay Chinese propaganda so

10:13

the most important stories to them are

10:16

uh positive relations with with France

10:19

uh and and still winning against their

10:21

enemies though right let's see here we

10:23

go

10:24

on here you have a sort of a byline

10:27

China's pla

10:29

simulates Taiwan strikes on day two of

10:32

joint sharp sword drills fantastic I'm

10:35

actually surprised they're not pitching

10:37

uh the Tesla deal as much here I don't

10:38

know maybe have they not woken up yet

10:40

see they actually aren't on their

10:42

propaganda site they're not pitching in

10:44

as much that's very interesting it shows

10:45

you a little bit of the difference

10:46

between Chinese propaganda and American

10:48

propaganda in China they're like look

10:50

we're meeting with world leaders and

10:52

we're conducting exercises and the US

10:55

won't succeed but then you go to U.S

10:58

media and what are we getting today

11:00

nothing about the Kevin McCarthy meeting

11:02

or the Nancy Pelosi uh drama we had last

11:05

time instead about how much people are

11:07

actually building like Airbus and Tesla

11:09

in uh in China it's very interesting I

11:13

mean let's look at the Airbus piece for

11:15

a moment Airbus to build a new China jet

11:18

Factory as Apple pulls back Airbus will

11:21

double its production capacity in China

11:23

of its top selling jet in a bold bet on

11:26

the on future demand and one of the

11:28

world's largest Aviation markets the

11:30

European plane maker will add a second

11:32

final assembly line for the A320 narrow

11:35

bodies at an existing Factory in China

11:38

and so they're adding a second assembly

11:40

line got it okay so they're expanding an

11:42

existing Factory the move is a boost for

11:44

Chinese manufacturing as other firms

11:46

like apple rethink production now

11:48

they've been regularly talking about

11:49

going to Vietnam or India but who knows

11:51

Tim Cook just met in China maybe maybe

11:53

they'll expand in both places who knows

11:56

Airbus however looked set to leave China

11:58

without a new plane order during

12:01

macron's three-day State visit despite

12:03

intensive talks over the past weekend

12:04

with Chinese customers Bloomberg

12:06

recorded reported this week that the

12:08

company was now targeting a follow-on

12:10

order that would include a350s and

12:13

possibly a330s

12:15

Airbus remained optimistic about winning

12:18

business in China all right very

12:20

interesting so it's it's an interesting

12:22

way to uh to to think about what's going

12:25

on in China nobody knows with certainty

12:28

right and that's what I want to be clear

12:29

about as well nobody knows with absolute

12:31

certainty but I believe the fears of an

12:35

invasion in Taiwan uh by China are

12:37

relatively over uh blown I agree with

12:40

Ronald here in the chat that China is

12:42

very calculating I completely agree

12:44

about that uh shurish here says China is

12:47

scared from India India is the great

12:50

hedge to China unless China flip-flops

12:52

and becomes buddies with India that's

12:54

true but India knows China can't be

12:55

trusted uh shurish says I don't think

12:58

the situation will escalate

13:01

we lost my crown during the Trump

13:03

presidency Hall uh guy ladouche says

13:07

Kevin war is inevitable

13:10

yeah I disagree with that well I mean I

13:12

appreciate the thought but I but I

13:14

disagree with it so anyway that's my

13:17

thesis it gives you a follow-up on

13:18

what's going on with China and this

13:20

potential fear-mongering around an

13:23

invasion in Taiwan I I don't think it's

13:27

going to happen but uh we're going to

13:28

continue to do to study it and I think

13:30

every day that we continue to study it

13:32

uh we we could see whether we're getting

13:34

closer or further away I think the

13:36

de-escalation in military exercises

13:38

relative to Nancy Pelosi's visit are

13:41

very clear indication that uh China's

13:44

not interested in escalating military

13:45

exercises beyond what they've done in

13:48

the past if anything they're

13:49

de-escalating at the same time as

13:50

de-escalating what are they doing

13:52

what they're announcing new Factory

13:54

plans with Tesla and Airbus

13:57

so anyway my thoughts on China
