Such an interesting discussion. Great dialogue. Hoover rocks.

Very interesting, thank you.

A great episode!

13:15 I'm rather astounded he did not mention Event 201 is his assessment of China's relative advantage gain from the pandemic. It seems it could be relevant. It also astounded me there was no global outcry against Jingping and a demand by world leaders he step down after deliberately allowing the spread internationally. No western leader could have kept his /her position after doing a similar strategic move.

As usual, fantastic interview. I've heard Marc before. He's very credible. I hope he can work for the next Trump administration (if there is one) to try to mold some rationality into it. A tall order that!

[@linmal2242]

Like your Yellow River v Pacific Ocean analogy ! Good one.

[@sbg4ever120]

Also Canada now has Chinese police stations popping up. Is Canada not in a weak state and potentially a soft landing spot for China to set up against the US should it choose?

Matt, re: @43:46 ...please get these documents translated and lobby to be required reading in uni's 1st year polisci/history studies.

[@kaljuk.5456]

Väga hea.

[@sbg4ever120]

I’d love to believe the ocean analogy however I would also be curious to know your thoughts on the massive amount of US farmland that is now Chinese owned? 🤷🏼‍♀️

[@donniecilenti2631]

Or the Chinese nationals, some tied to the military, are coming across the border

Australia helping Taiwan what a joke. As an Australian us helping Taiwan would be nice to be able to do but i just cant see how. We would be lucky to help ourselves ATM. China our number one trade partner would lead to our economy collapse.

[@alacazaba]

Beg to differ, Australia should be very inclined to aid Taiwan during a Chinese created crisis. For one, Australia will be impacted by any problems with taiwan, involved or not. A Taiwan crisis would no doubt interrupt CN trade with Australia entirely for the duration. Secondly, national security interests always preside over economic ones. Even the worst of Australian politicians have some sense of this, that China strategically beyond the first island chain will mean trade on Chinese terms, not Australian.

If you said that allowing China to join WTO was a strategical mistake, then how about Trump's trade war with China? a strategical mistake or an economic blunder?

The wisest thing that should be on everyone's mind currently should be to invest in different streams of income that doesn't depend on the govt. Especially with the current economic crisis around the world. This is still a good time to invest in Gold, Silver and digital currencies (BTC,ETH...)

God Speaks! shhhhh.......

[@Liamrby]

Your explanation is concise and practical. However, the market can be manipulated in many ways. I had an early understanding of trading crypto assets but was limited by my technical analysis skills. That changed when I discovered Evelyn Infurna’s strategy. Day trading should be given more attention as it is less affected by the market's unpredictable nature....
