US military stock market manipulation despised by the world
Mon 9:02 pm +00:00, 20 Apr 2026Imagine being a serving sailor in the US navy and you start to get the feeling you’re not fighting a war, as much as being used to surge prices and crash prices to order. War as financial theatre. The real facts hardly matter. The outcome of battle are irrelevant. The only requirement of your actions is to either scare or calm the gamblers leaching off humanity as they place their bets. Kushner and Witkov negotiate for price, not to save life.
Some lewd language. Caution.
The attack on the Iranian tanker is covered in the next video, and the response from Iran. As regards negotiations, lying is the normal way of the Americans. They try to get the Iranians to make concessions by making false promises. Next time around the Iranians make less concessions, and are more ready to land strikes on American military assets. The US posturing does not get the Iranians to lower their guard any more. The US are unable to bring their ships close to the Gulf, and are in a weak position, so they focus on wrecking negotiations and forcing the Iranians to become more aggressive, nor less. Negotiating with Iran on an equal basis would be seen as failure by the US which expects Iran to go under the thumb.
China too is taking counter-measures against the failed US blockade. The Iranians act purely in retaliation against aggression. China wants the war to end and to negotiate the situation into control. The Russians are talking of a new security architecture for the Middle East, which is clearly Chinese policy. Russians talk bluntly so Chinese can conciliate and moderate and pick up the pieces. Meanwhile the US uses its own navy as some kind of protection racket.
Next is an AI video which explains the moves at the UN taken by Russia and China to block US using military action.
(9) Everyone Missed This… China’s Hormuz Veto Changes Everything |Col Douglas Macgregor – YouTube
In this analysis, Douglas Macgregor breaks down a critical moment most of the world overlooked — China’s strategic “veto” around the Strait of Hormuz. Why does this matter? Because the balance of global power is shifting — not through open war, but through quiet, calculated moves. As tensions between the United States, Iran, and China continue to evolve, this decision could reshape global energy routes, military strategy, and economic stability. This isn’t just geopolitics — it’s a glimpse into how modern power works behind the scenes.
Professor Mrandi shows how the world is shifting its support of the US to hatred of the USA.

China has long seen see through this true nature of U.S. as a paper tiger.
Welcome back. We are joined today by none other than Wang Wen, a professor and dean of Changyang Institute of Financial Studies and dean of the School of Global Leadership at Renmin University of China. So thank you for taking the time. I know you’re a big voice in Beijing, so I appreciate taking the time to speak with us.
Thank you.
Thank you, Professor Dean. Every time when I have a conversation with you, I really enjoy it.
Likewise. Today, though, I wanted to focus a bit on how China is affected by the war in Iran, because it does impact China in many ways. So, yeah, I guess as a very first wide question would be how Beijing, you know, interprets this war against Iran.
Is it seen then mainly as a regional conflict between the US and Iran? Or do you see it in the context of a much wider systemic rivalry that also includes China?
Well, I think the Chinese government’s stance regarding the colonial conflict involved in U.S., Israel, and Iran is very, very clear. China emphasizes a resolution of the dispute through a political negotiation and opposes any unilateral military action not authorized by the UN. The Chinese side has repeatedly
call for a ceasefire and end to hostility and advocating for respect for wrong sovereignty and legitimacy development rights while opposing the maximum pressure campaign and long-term jurisdiction.
And I think that
The position adopted by the Chinese government is not only grounded in the principle of international law, but also reflects China’s own strategic interests, specifically its standards as a major… Well, it’s a standard as a major energy importance and advocates of multilateralism. And more importantly, I think… ranging from the ultimate imperative to safeguard global peace.
Because as a scholar, I must say, in today’s world, there are too many wars. It has been only 37 years since the end of the Cold War. Yet, within these 37 years, the world has really changed The outbreak at least 150 big wars, military conflict. As a scholar, I must say for even…
Today’s world, there are too many wars. It has been only 37 years since the end of the Cold War. Yet within these 37 years, the world has witnessed the outbreak of at least 150 military conflicts, including the Gulf War, the Yugoslavia War, the war in Afghanistan and Iraq.
Libya, Syria, Ukraine, as well as now in the Middle East. And the vast majority of these military conflicts have been involved in the U.S., whether initiatives directed by the U.S., involving U.S. participation or backed by the U.S. support. The example set by the world’s biggest power is quite frankly terrible. So now you ask how Beijing is thinking.
I think, consequently, the Chinese strategic community now is focused on the issue that this particular war further disrupted the international order, the destabilized the global economy. First of all, our focus lies on deeper and more long-term questions. For example, the international order looks like following the end view end of the U.S. Germany.
Peace mechanism be established within the multipolar world. long-term regional dialogue framework be posted, a crisis and dispute be truly and the foundation resolved, and what specificity and contribution must China undertake in this regard. So we think about so many long-term perspectives after the war.
So I think this war, well, yes, maybe they produced a lot of huge influence
Yeah, that’s interesting. Well, let’s call it a contradiction because often in the West, the last 30 plus years have been referred to as an era of stability, you know, time of peace when there was order and rule of law. Yet, if you look over the past 30 plus years, we’ve seen you know, the Yugoslav wars,
the 20-year occupation of Afghanistan, the illegal invasion of Iraq, Libya, Syria, Yemen, and yeah, I would even put the Ukraine and Iran also in the category of Western wars. But also you can put the genocide in Gaza. I mean, it’s quite a long, long list for an era which we consider to be a period of peace.
But even when this comes to an end, We now see that all the rules seem to be thrown away. That is, from the American side now, they’re shutting down access to international waterways with Cuba, Venezuela, Iran. We’re talking about the destruction of entire civilizations. It’s quite a brutal language. You know,
if this war in Iran is part of the shift from the unipolar to the multipolar world, do you see this war being an important turning point in the global order?
Well, first, I cannot speak on behavior of a Chinese policymaker, but I can share… some popular views on Chinese strategy academy. Now, more and more Chinese scholars believe that the US and Germany has reached its end. That so-called post-Cold War order is drawn to a close.
And that the world is entering a new era of, as you mentioned, the multipolar multi-polar meeting. And the multi-polar area is characterized by at least two points. One feature is that the U.S. has totally lost the strategic capacity to dominate the world. It is maybe in the future, U.S. will decline to regional power, ordinary regional power,
presences a strategic leadership only in some specific region and specific fields rather than on global or comprehensive level. You know, now, the U.S. now are like a decrepit old boss. Look at their alliance. Japan is humiliating it. The European country, to be honest, is disturbing it. And Canada is pushing back against it.
And Israel now is kidnapping it. In a sense, the U.S. is quite a very pity finger. And it has been manipulated by all its former allies. So what is even more a pity? more repeatable is that President Trump still believes in himself. He is constantly winning. And so it’s very pity.
So I sometimes feel very quite sympathized towards American people. They ought to be spending money currently used to wage wars on improving their domestic livelihood and infrastructure instead. So the second point, the second feature is the successful rise of emerging countries such as China, Russia, India, Brazil, as well as the other regional power. Vietnam, Indonesia, Nigeria,
South Africa, Ethiopia, Tanzania, a lot, a lot of emerging economies. And the U.S. no longer possesses the strength to contain the continual rise of any of these emerging economies. Iran, the same applies. Over the coming decade, or perhaps even longer, Provided that Iran adopts wider domestic and foreign policy,
I believe it will ultimately break free from the shocker of nearly half the center of the US section and achieve a new rise up. So in short, we are currently in the transition phase, one in which an older hegemonic order is given way to a new multipolar landscape.
And, um, but, uh, I guess overall, many people get the impression of China that is always a bit cautious in international affairs. This is a, well, especially been the case, I guess, since 1978, you know, the peaceful rise don’t. create too much waves in the international system in terms of negative reactions from other great powers.
And it seems to have been, well, somewhat argued that it might have changed a bit over the past few years, the willingness to stand up a bit tougher against the United States. But that being said, in the Iran war, it looked like China kind of kept this traditional…
Profile that is very, well, somewhat cautious and low profile stance. And how are you assessing this? Is this just restraint in order not to, I guess, globalize a regional conflict? Or is it limited influence? And… Yeah, given now that it’s not just about Iran, it also appears to affect China in a big way.
That is when the Americans put a blockade on Iranian ports, they’re very open that, you know, this is also intended to deny China oil from an important source. Meanwhile, they’re also now talking about sanctioning Chinese banks that trade with Iran. So how are you seeing this? Do you expect this to continue? No.
I guess, the restrained response from China?
I think it’s, as you mentioned, the so-called reality-break culture and law profile, not only in Iran issues today, but also maybe in the past you mentioned, even in Russia and Ukraine are quite conflict. I think that these… This serves precisely to demonstrate the underlying political philosophy of China’s foreign policy, advocating for ceasefire and to hostility,
while emphasizing the resolution of dispute through political negotiation. And simultaneously, concurrently, China always will not cease its normal trade relationship with both sides, warring parties. For example, during the Russia and Ukraine conflict, China maintained the normal trade tie with both Russia and Ukraine.
Similarly, the current war,
China continues to conduct normal trade with the U.S., Israel, and Iran. So nowadays, the U.S. threat to section China banks engaged to trade with Iran, I think this is very unreasonable. Of course, Some threat from U.S. sometimes often like the paper tiger. So U.S. threat China like it. China response to U.S. sanctions often undoubtedly like this.
Come on. Go ahead. Try to section me. If you intend to import sections, we will certainly take court measure to you. So this is a China very clearly signal. So in the coming months, I think the U.S. will not dare to take such action, of course.
They are key to ensure the success of President Trump on coming with China, provoking China as this gesture would result in yet another political setback for Trump. And from this perspective, China has long seen see through this true nature of U.S. as a paper tiger.
I guess a key concern for China would be that over the past few, well, for many years now, it has been financing this expensive Belt and Road Initiative, which has Well, a large part of it is connecting this Eurasian landmass through different roads, railways, ports, digital connections, and the Middle East has been an important
area where it has invested. I also can’t help but to notice that when the U.S. and Israel are bombing in Iran, they’re going after a lot of the transportation infrastructure. Again, overall, this is also an attack on the Chinese investments. How does this affect China? Will it reduce focus on the Middle East, or will China…
change his trade routes? Or what can we expect to see from Beijing?
Actually, China’s investment in Iran now is about 5 billion. Since the outbreak of war, of course, projects have grown to hold across the wide area. Personnel have been urgently evacuated. investment prospects have become uncertain, and the progress of subsequent investments has been severely impeded. Over the past month or so,
China capital markets have experienced a fluctuation approach of 10%, resulting in losses for a lot of investors.
First of all,
as about 35% of China’s oil imports pass through the Strait of Hormuz, the nation’s energy security has also become impacted. So while these shocks are certainly not severe enough to fundamentally stabilized China’s overall economy. But I have to say these shocks have nonetheless sent a very strong and more stronger, much stronger strategy signal to Beijing.
That is imperative to advise the Bell Law Initiative in a sustainable and high-quality matter. Because as we all know, the BRI seeks to foster the connectivity. More importantly, the core objective of the BRI is to construct a great number of overland oil applied across the Euro-Asia continent, thereby reduce excessive, rely on energy-importing nations on maritime shipping roads.
Viewed from this perspective, the importance of overland corridors, such as expanded North Lord of China-Europe-Liuwe Express, the Trans-Caspia Transport Corridor, and Central Asia land corridor has risen significantly. And the other thing is that there’s a growing emphasis on increasing the allocation of energy sources from non-Middle Eastern sources, including Russia, Central Asia, Africa, and South America,
in order to mitigate dependence on any single-normality shipping land. So in short, the strategic change bonds down to two key terms, the diversification of transport corridors and the diversification of energy sources.
Yeah, seems like a good response. But many people also, when they look to assess how China will react or be impacted from this war, they also look towards Taiwan. I mean… What kind of lessons do you think the Chinese strategists draw if they look towards a potential conflict or at least a Taiwan scenario? I mean,
for many in the West, they argue that this is a great opportunity or a window opportunity for China to do something in Taiwan, given that the Americans are tied up in Ukraine, they’re tied up in the Middle East. Others are pointing that it’s also maybe a necessity for China to, you know, might solve this issue now,
given that the US is becoming increasingly reckless. But beyond this, though, do you see the war making, you know, a conflict over Taiwan more or less likely?
Well, I understand the subtext of your question is like that. Given the current conflict with Iran, which could potentially diminish U.S. military capability or tie down its strategic assets for a long time period, will China celebrate its timeline for unifying Taiwan by force?
I was asked a very simple question a few years ago when the Russia and the Ukraine conflict broke out. But my point is that if the Chinese mainland intended to resolve the Taiwan issue through military means, the United States would have long since lost the ability to stop it. The U.S. simply lacks the capacity to defend Taiwan.
Whether or not China mainland ultimately chooses to use for to unify Taiwan is not a decision contingent upon whether the United States has the ability to prevent that unification. What I want to say is that There would be no military unification without the move towards Taiwan independence. Any use of force would be directed at independence separate,
not at the general public people in Taiwan. In other words, even 30 years ago, when U.S. military power was arguably at its peak, Had Taiwan declared independence, the Chinese military, Chinese mainland would still have proceeded to unify Taiwan by force. So my logic, my reasoning is that the Chinese mainland has consistently and patiently sought a
peaceful resolution to this issue. In fact, anyone who truly understands the Taiwan issue will recognize that. At this moment, the likelihood of the peaceful resolution is growing even stronger, and the prospect of such a resolution is growing even closer and closer.
Well, if this war, though, in Iran is intensifying a shift towards a multipolar world, how does it affect China’s relations with other great powers? with the United States? Because on one hand, the US seems to be getting more unhinged, if not the aggressive, but also China might rely more on the United States.
At least that seems to be part of the design of the the US or with Russia? I was thinking if the energy supplies from the Middle East now are becoming less and less reliable. Does this cement or deepen China’s dependence on Russia?
Or I guess overall, how do you see China’s relations with the US and Russia being affected now? Or what direction will it take after this war?
Yes, I think that this conflict has significantly shaped the balance of the triangle relationship among U.S., China, and Russia. Previously, the U.S. acted as a relatively proactive party in this conflict, while China and Russia occupy the conflict. position in the past. But now, the U.S. finds itself heavily constrained by Iran. It has become increasingly erratic,
even going so far as to make overtures towards China and Russia. While Russia and China, the two nations, have gained the greatest strategic initiative, Russia now, of course, has emerged as a beneficiary of the massive surge in oil prices, and even more so of the situation on Ukraine battlefield. And China has experienced some…
repercussions regarding oil import and its stock market. Yet, on the whole, the strategic pressure faced from the U.S., its primary competition has diminished.
So I think, as I mentioned right now, conversely, As President Trump sought to successfully visit China in middle May, he found it necessary to make contradictory gestures toward Beijing. Moreover,
to avoid losing the Middle East election in November, Trump simply cannot afford to jeopardize U.S. and China relations. So view from this perspective, both China and Russia have seen these strategic maneuvering space impact in their respective context within the U.S. And they now host more stronger cards in these geopolitical games. The U.S.
nowadays has permanently said goodbye to the era in which it could effectively contain both China and Russia. So I think for those experts who truly grasp the nature of the strategy, it appears that the United States may have won every battle yet, but U.S. lost anti-war. may be the master of every tactical maneuver,
but when it comes to overall strategy, he proves to be a fool.
Full seems to summarize it well. But also, you mentioned that Russia has benefited. Of course, it comes with both risks and opportunities because the war, I think, is significant. The war in Iran is seen with great concerns. It destabilizes the entire region. It threatens to burn down the whole Middle East. Iran is a key strategic partner.
It’s a key transportation partner. node in the Eurasian system. So, yeah, partnering SEO with BRICS. So it’s not a good war in this sense. But if you look at the economics, the oil price, of course, this takes a pretty, yeah, adds a good chunk of money into the Russian economy and also
It makes it very difficult to keep unity in the West on the sanctions against Russia. But again, it comes both with pluses and minuses. But if this war continues, what do you think would be the main risks or opportunities for China? Or is it mainly risks, I guess?
Yeah, as I said, if the war continues or escalates a risk to China, are very evident that China energy life lines would remain vulnerable to disruption. The cost of the imported oil would rise, potentially trickling inflation, and China foreign trade order in the Middle East would contract. First of all, Bell Law Initiative, as you mentioned, the project,
would face risks, region from a set of fees to default among other complications. There are a lot of risks. So that’s why I think, I often tell my foreign friends that China is a major economy, least inclined to see the war break out anywhere in the world.
So that’s why over the past 40 years,
China has never launched a war or joined a war or involved in a war. So because we know only through peace can China achieve better development. So that’s why I want to borrow your important platform to recommend my new book this month. Now this book ranks five on China’s bestseller list.
The book’s name is New Strategic Opportunity, China and the World Towards 2035. This new book is top three in China’s bestseller. I’m talking about new strategic opportunity. My central means of my new book is that no matter how adverse the international environment may become, China assesses the capacity to birth, cease, and create a new strategic opportunity.
The more war that occurs, And the more turbulent the world becomes, the more the world will come to recognize just how important China peace, stability, and prosperity truly are. So China’s new strategic opportunity is that. wherever the world happened, China focused on ourselves, domestic solution. Then we can find and see more and more new strategic opportunity.
So you, Professor Dinsen, you visited China many times. You can see nowadays in China, China is 1.4 billion people worldwide. enjoying a secure urban governance, free from gun violence, universal access to 5G network, a state fuel with a new energy vehicle, a society that has completely eradicated absolute poverty,
A cashless, no cash payment, cashless payment ecosystem by everyone. Reliant power, greed-free of back-out, high-speed railway network, and also a low customer crisis, and also a food delivery service capable of bringing any field to one business.
Nowadays, even in the foreign social media, these necessities of China’s national governments are increasingly becoming the
envy of more and more developing countries’ people, maybe more and more developing countries’ people. So, as I often say, the more… In this book, in my new book, as I said, the more the United States seek to instigate war, the more China strive to uphold peace.
For United States, every war serves as another step down to let down of decline. Conversely, for China, The longer it succeeds in maintaining peace, the more sustained angle its rise will be. So this is China’s greatest opportunity.
Well, let’s… Yeah, I’d like to hear… peace framed as opportunity. It’s not so common anymore, but it does make a lot of sense. And I wish more countries did so. It is funny. I spoke a few days with Chas Freeman. He was the former US Assistant Secretary of Defense, and he was making
the point because well he was a translator also diplomat with kissinger when he went to china in the late 70s he was making the point that today china represents the international system the way the united states pretended it was in the past so
it does appear that china is taking over that mantle which is uh well good news if china handles it in a very responsible way which it appears to do um Anyways, thank you very much for taking the time. And I look forward to seeing you in Beijing soon. So thank you.
Yes. Thank you. Thank you.
Thank you.
TAP – China wants a world without all the wars, and to lead the world, but wants to achieve this without getting her hands dirtied. Let’s hope she can. Not sure about universal 5G, and the technocratic world that China represents. We still need the English Democrats to express the unique English way, and preserve the freedoms English people achieved and enjoyed in history, until the world of war took us over – the Zionist Jews that control America and Israel, also took us over after Cromwell won the Civil War, an The Bank Of England enslaved us.
