The semiconductor is facing a collapse. - Part 5

We projected the semiconductor outcome in 2018 and the venture capitalist saw it happening in 2019.

Korea-Japan trade war has just begun!

https://sg.finance.yahoo.com/news/japan-toughen-restrictions-exports-south-030402201.html

Notwithstanding the US-China trade war, 2 Asian giants, South Korea & Japan, have started another trade war because of the historical feud.

The US won't allow the Korea-Japan trade war to escalate because this will hurt the US strategic alliance in the South China Sea.  The US needs Korea and Japan to work together to contain China military advancement in the South China Sea.

I'm pretty confident that the US will act as a mediator between Korea & Japan to resolve this trade war.

President Trump is the man behind wall street. - Part 2

http://sg-stock.blogspot.com/2019/06/president-trump-is-man-behind-wall.html

Trump did everything he could to make sure that the trade talk didn't fall out.

He didn't insist on his previous terms (no mention of IP theft, forced technology transfer, change of China laws to accommodate his demands, etc).

He didn't mention HK at all in the trade talk.

He didn't impose new tariffs against China.

Why is Trump getting soft on China?

We have come up with a few reasons for Trump's meekness.

1. The top US business leaders are rallying their demands for "No China tariffs".

2. The 2nd QTR GDP will look bad.

3. Many Americans cannot enjoy Christmas if there are more China tariffs.

4. Farmers are suffering and losing their China market share.

5. Trump's popularity is dropping fast and furious.

Many analysts were dead wrong about Vietnam benefitting from the US-China trade war.

https://www.channelnewsasia.com/news/asia/vietnam-says-committed-to--free-and-fair--trade-after-trump-tariff-threat-11671716

Trump has threatened to impose tariffs against Vietnam.

We differed from many analysts over the view that Vietnam would benefit from the US-China trade war.

http://sg-stock.blogspot.com/2018/11/do-thailand-and-vietnam-really-benefit.html

We had stated our view in our previous post above.  Smaller nations like Vietnam and Thai do not have the same clout as China to ward off the US tariffs because their economies and military prowess are not in the same league as China.  They will be bullied by the US and they will bend to US demands.  Vietnam is in trouble now.

A trade truce has been reached between the US and China.

https://sg.finance.yahoo.com/news/trump-xi-talk-trade-economic-233226847.html

Basically, this is just about remaining a status quo since existing tariffs will remain with no new additional tariffs.

However, non-tariffs measures such as restrictions placed on China and the US companies will escalate in the name of national security concerns which may not seem to be trade-related.

Let's see how this will pan out since Trump is not a credible leader and always flip-flop on his agreements.

China is imposing an all out ban on Canadian meats.

Ractopamine is banned in 160 countries because it is harmful to humans.

http://sg-stock.blogspot.com/2016/11/what-do-you-get-for-being-staunch-usa.html

Canada is trying to poison the Chinese with ractopamine laced meats.
