AstraZeneca - Don't Throw Out The Umbrella
Why are we surprised when the sun comes up every morning?
Here is an excerpt from a terrific LinkedIn post by David Shillingford. NOTE: My comment follows the excerpt. The trend towards ‘regionalized’ supply chains is reflected in the description here by AstraZeneca‘s CEO Pascal Soriot of a ‘two supply chain’ strategy; one for the ‘east’ and one for the ‘west’. Almost every company is grappling with the implications of the escalating US-China trade…

The balance between the two superpowers shifted at the speed of the wind, creating a new equilibrium in the deep ocean at the doorstep of Vanuatu. Its Prime Minister stirred restlessly, aware of the obligations and responsibilities his people entrusted him with, aware of how quickly potential allies of his nation would become adversaries. A distant echo of the past roared in distant islands, adding a tinge of uncertainty to his already turbulent vision of the future.

This post discusses the multiple areas that have become less competitive due to the US-China trade war.

CHINA DUMPING US DOLLARS AS TRADE WAR BREWS
China has sold nearly $100 billion in US Treasury holdings since 2023, and nearly $49 billion in US Treasury bonds in just the last quarter.
The findings were published by the US Treasury Department and reported in the Business media, detailing a pattern of the People's Republic of China dumping US Treasury bonds as a trade war begins brewing between the two economic powers.

Bro I can't with these posts tht go 'trump has only been elected for 48 hours and world leaders are already doing xyz'. Most of them are either taken completely out of context, are outright false, or are said in a way that makes it soo clear that these ppl don't understand the nuances of geopolitics.
I can't comment on America's internal politics coz I'm not an American, but i can assure ppl tht geopolitics is more complex than 'trump is in power now so everything is solved because he's so powerful.' All of us should keep our eyes open and be incredibly vigilant; while this holds true for every president, (imo) some of his stances are very questionable and he's known to be unpredictable
While I do think that Trump will obviously be taken more seriously and strike a more powerful image than the guy who couldn't string a sentence together, this sort of blind hero worship for a politician, especially in a time like this is ill advised, to put it lightly. Also sorry, but it's so clear that these ppl haven't done their reading and know nothing about international politics as most of these posts reflect the 'America vs the bad guys' mentality, which btw, is what makes the rest of the world roll their eyes at America - sorry but ur belief in ur country's moral superiority under the guise of patriotism is considered laughable by most of the other countries. There's renewed room for talks and possible negotiations given that Trump's approach is very different from Biden's, yes, but y r these ppl acting like other formidable forces like putin, Xi jinping and hamas will immediately bend to an American president's whims? So fucking stupid lmao

i genuinely don't understand what capitalist countries stand to gain by fighting each other instead of collaborating economically. like why does the us warmonger against china when we would benefit more from trade? ostensibly it's for moral reasons, but regardless of the veracity of any given claim i think the united states has shown itself to prioritize economic success over human rights on a number of occasions especially during the cold war. i suppose i assume most wars are waged on the grounds of economic gain (natural resources, global political power, straight up money in the form of the military-industrial complex) but you could make an equally solid argument that just as many are waged over purely social and political issues- ethnic and religious conflict, blind nationalism, the whims of a dictator. it just confuses me at times, i guess. i have a hard time believing that the united states is bound and determined to wage war against china over human rights abuses, infringing on other countries sovereignty, and neo-colonialism in africa when we've propped up fascist dictators in many a country who've done far worse. is it literally just the association with communism? because surely whatever evil fuckers actually want war know that china is very far from communist right now. is it just nationalism? the idea that we must be on the top of the totem pole, even if our economy would stand to gain from trade? because i suppose i could believe that, but i think if that was true we wouldn't have gotten to where we are today in the first place. blegh. at the end of the day i am also ignoring the fact that many many different groups of people want war against china for reasons ranging from sinophobic jingoist nationalism to a genuine belief that the united states is a global moral watchdog determined to establish ~democracy~ worldwide. but there is a definite slant to media coverage on china right now, genuine attempts at disinformation, and given that the media in the us is so deeply tied to corporate interests it leads me to believe that there has to be some economic motive here, and it frustrates me that i can't figure out what it is.
#this post is long and convoluted and circuitous. sorry.#please do not try to like. publically own me or erupt into moral outrage over this post if you're reading it btw.#suppose i would be interested in hearing others takes on this but im just curious i genuinely don't have answers here#i don't want to argue or be accused of being immoral for not taking a hard stance on an incredibly complex issue.#anyway. i am also not trying to say that either the us or china are ' good ' or ' bad '#insomuch as any country can be good or bad. particularly a country millenia old or one that changes leadership every four years.#individual actions taken by each government are undeniably bad. yes.#but as a us citizen i find it very difficult to find reliable information about what is happening in other countries.#our media has become so wildly polarized that you can often figure out national issues by looking at both sides#but when the media is unified on portraying one falsehood both left and right? you're fucked.#often media that claims to be neutral could be more accurately described as western#i trust ap and the bbc on us politics - not global politics.#all that being said when it comes to things like the treatment of uighur muslims or the political situation in hong kong and taiwan.#i'm not entirely sure what to believe.#and i also believe that if every single immoral act the us claims china has done is real... we still wouldn't wage war based purely on that#...i do genuinely think the claims that china is colonizing africa by offering loans is horseshit though#even if it was itd be fucking rich for european countries that wrecked africa in the first place#to moralize about the means by which another global power allows them potential economic power#the problem arises from capitalism on a global scale itself i mean#there is no way to build up infrastructure and trade routes for an entire continent without#in some way eventually profiting from it#i do see the comparison to the us and latin america and i think that's kinda apt but#the way ppl talk about it you'd think they were doing what france did to haiti good god

Vanuatu's prime minister is in a difficult position. With the United States and China locked in a bitter trade war, his country is caught in the middle. He has to try and maintain good relations with both powers while also ensuring the survival of his own government. It's a difficult balancing act, and he is struggling to make it work.

A trade war between China and the United States poses a risk to the Netherlands' economic stability and growth. The Bureau for Economic Policy Analysis (CPB) states this in the Financial Marktes Risk Report 2024, which the CPB draws up annually at parliament’s request. Although the Dutch economy is in “good average shape” after the coronavirus pandemic and the energy crisis, it remains sensitive to “major economic shocks,” the CPB said. However, Dutch households and companies can absorb potential blows better than a few years ago. An important reason for the CPB’s warning is the increased import duties that the United States introduced in May on Chinese goods like electric cars. These may indicate an escalating trade war between the two superpowers, which could cause more bankruptcies in the Netherlands because our economy has to make an “expensive shock-by-shock adjustment.” Disruption of production capacity and supply chains can cause price increases. What also plays a role is the high degree to which the Netherlands is exposed to economic risks abroad because it has one of the largest foreign investment positions in the world. Dutch pension funds, for example, invest a lot abroad. If, together with households, they make a loss on their investments abroad, there is a risk that they will no longer be able to repay their loans in the Netherlands. “When foreign assets become less valuable, this hits investing Dutch people directly in the wallet,” the CPB wrote.

Yes, worry about a possible Sino-American trade war. That should take peoples' minds off the possible Sino-European trade war which, some say, has already started.
