China has sanctioned the US over HK issues.

http://www.globaltimes.cn/content/1171990.shtml

We had stated in July 2019 that NED was involved in engineering the HK protests.  It's great to see that China sanctioned the US over the HK issues.

China still can escalate its action by restricting the number of US embassy employees in HK since the US has overwhelming embassy employees of around 1,000.

We've also stated other agencies connected to NED in HK.

The November ISM PMI has declined again.

-->

The prices paid increased to 46.7 from 45.5 because the producers reduced local raw material and imported more from abroad.  The PMI decreased to 48.1 and was in contraction mode for 4 consecutive months.

The new order decreased because of a reduction in new export order.  The previous new export order (significant increment) was just an aberration.  The reduction in customers’ inventories was due to the fulfillment of the existing orders and, thus, the backlog of order also decreased.  The producers still increased  their production by 2.9 so that they could continue to increase the customers’ inventories to fulfill existing orders.  However, the manufacturing employment deteriorated and this was a big concern because it could reflect the overall employment in the US (see chart below).  This reduction in employment meant that the producers were not very optimistic about their businesses and the willingness to hire and train workers declined.

In conclusion, the de-Americanization in China supply china was hurting the US manufacturing industry and the USA’s anti-China stance was helping China to expand its manufacturing industry.

China PMI had expanded as we had predicted.

http://www.stats.gov.cn/english/PressRelease/201912/t20191202_1712936.html

We predicted in September 2019 (See below) that China PMI would expand soon and it really did in November 2019.  Why were we so confident?

Well, our rationale was very simple.  It was the US's anti-China stance that caused China's PMI to be in an expansionary mode.  How come?  The US's anti-China stance caused the de-americanization in China's supply chain which caused the local manufacturing industry to ramp up production to replace the US supplies.  Therefore, this increment would be reflected in China's PMI eventually and this growth would just be a matter of time.
