China`s digital currency dominance

China`s new digital currency e-yuan is a big threat to the US dollar. E-yuan is expected to give China`s government vast new tools to monitor both its economy and its people. This is not only about the CCP`s ability to control China`s economy but also about their increasing global power, and it`s long running battle with the US dollar.

China has long said they are in war on Bitcoin. What some people don`t like is that Bitcoin is decentralized, but China`s digital currency is controlled by the CCP. In other words; the CCP can see everything you are doing with it.

Nearly 90% of foreign-exchange transactions involve dollars and more than 60% of all global central-bank reserves are held in dollar-denominated assets, and that gives the US tremendous power. But China doesn`t like that at all.

This is obviously a US security issue, but it doesn`t look like the Biden administration care much about right now. But they should, and that very fast if you ask me. The US often use sanctions on other countries, but now China can use their digital currency as a weapon on the US.

The communist China are pushing the IMF to the SDR (special drawing rights) issue. The currency value of the SDR is determined by summing the values in U.S dollars, based on market exchange rates, of a basket of major currencies.

The IMF`s SDR, the international reserve asset created in 1969 to prepare for a new dollar crisis, is undergoing a renaissance, with important worldwide repercussions. The announcement of by far the largest-ever increase in SDR allocations, which will greatly improve the liquidity of many developing nations, signals alignment between the US and China in a key area of global monetary power.

The US now agrees with using the IMF`s balance sheet to boost world liquidity. They are planning to more than triple SDR allocations by at least $500bn. This reflects a change in US policy to back measures strongly advocated last year by China as well as leading European and African countries.

Rich nations with large reserves will distribute part of their plentiful SDR stocks to poor countries.

The massive increase in SDR reserves, which can be converted into its five constituents; the dollar (42%), euro (31%), renminbi (11%), yen (8%) and sterling (8%) will indirectly boosts the Chiniese currency`s international reserve role, according to OMFIF (Official Monetary and Financial Institutions Forum).

In 2009, the United Nations suggested a new SDR-based global reserve system, feasible non-inflationary, and easily implemented, including in ways which mitigate the difficulties caused by asymmetric adjustment between surplus and deficit countries.

That same year, Zhou Xiaochuan, governor of the People`s Bank of China, proposed that the SDR could become the pivotal internationall reserve currency, disconnected from individual nations, as the light in the tunnel for the reform of the international monetary system.

Is this how they`re gonna reset the international monetary system?

U.S steel production is booming due to Trump admin`s steel tariffs

Coalition For A Prosperous America chief economist Jeff Ferry said to Fox that the Trump administration`s tariffs have a positive impact on the steel industry. This is one of the reasons why Trump is so popular in the United States.

Jeff Ferry said; «…..even as some pundits and economists say America`s steel industry is in decline…… for those who understand the steel industry, it`s clear that the Trump administration`s steel tariffs have generated a boom in steel investment and a shift to newer technologies that are creating high-paying jobs for thousands of new steelworkers.

Steel prices last year were lower than they were in 2017, before Trump`s tariffs. Donald Trump and Wilbur Ross did this because they know the steel industry. They did it because they knew that Communist China subsidized the steel and dumped the prices.

This kind of protectionism is good for Communist China, but it made it difficult for the United States to compete, and this is exactly here where Trump`s «America First» agenda comes in. He protects the U.S steel industry, its workers, and America.

The U.S steel industry is healthy, and steel consumers are better off because they pay the same price for steel now as they did a few years ago. Before the tariffs. Now, the U.S steel industry can invest in new technology, and grow and meet their need much better than before.

This is the difference between Biden who has been in politics for the last 47 years and Trump who is one of the few to stand up against Communist China.

China`s growth is the weakest since 1992 and the pace of global economic activity remains weak as well

The worlds fastest-growing region is slowing and show sign of a darkening global outlook. Just look at Chinas Q3 growth. It`s the weakest growth in 28 years. The Chinese economy advanced 6% YoY in Q3 2019 and that is the weakest since 1992.

China have a trade tension with the U.S, weakening global demand and alarming off-balance-sheet borrowings by local governments. IMF said on Friday that the growth can get worse, but Japanese Finance Minister Taro Aso said «All policy tools must e used to achieve sustainable growth.»

In its World Economic Outlook report on Tuesday, the IMF cut its economic growth forecast for the Asia-Pacific region to 5,0% for this year and 5,1% for 2020, and that is the slowest pace of expansion since the global financial crisis.

A faster-than-expected slowdown in Chinas economic growth could also generate negative spillovers in the region, as many Asian countries have supply chains closely tied to China, the IMFs Rhee said.

The IMF slashed China`s growth forecast to 6,1% for this year and 5,8% for 2020, pointing to the impact from the trade conflict and tighter regulation to address excess debt. But China is not alone.

The pace of global economic activity remains weak, and after slowing sharply in the last three quarters of 2018, momentum in manufacturing activity, in particular, has weakened substantially, to levels not seen since the global financial crisis.

Rising trade and geopolitical tensions have increased uncertainty about the future of the global trading system and international cooperation more generally, taking a toll on business confidence, investment decisions, and global trade.

A natable shift toward increased monetary policy accommodation, through both action and communication, has cushioned the impact of these tensions on financial market sentiment and activity, while a generally resilient service sector has supported employment growth.

To strengthen resilience, policymakers should address financial vulnerabilities that pose risks to growth in the medium term.

Making growth more inclusive, which is essential for securing better economic prospects for all, should remain an overarching goal.

A positive cheerleader like Trump is the right man to reach that goal. Not the Media-Mob-Clowns talking about recession ever day. What is Trump doing for his country? What about the Media Mob?

India`s Prime Minister Narendra Modi is doing something right and they can surpass China very soon

Theresa May is negotiating with the European Union and investors are concerned about a hard landing on these Brexit deals. It`s difficult to know exactly the outcome of the Brexit deal but what we do know is that the British economy grew 1,7% YoY in the second quarter of 2017.

Not so much compared to Chinas 6,9% growth, which is the best G20 country followed by India at 5,7%. Britains economy fell from 2,0% to 1,7% and that is the opposite direction of India`s growth. Can India grow by a greater margin than China this year?

 

 

According to IMF, Indias economy will grow by a greater margin than China in 2017. Not only that. Indias innovation growth rate is expected to rise significantly over the next 15 years, placing it ahead of Russia and close to surpassing China, according to a new report.

China is the leading nation in terms of innovation among BRICS countries, but India`s Prime Minister Narendra Modi must be doing something right. India is set to see a surge in innovation and could surpass China by the end of the next decade.

According to Chinas Science Technology Exchange Center, Indias innovation growth rate is expected to rise significantly over the next 15 years, placing it ahead of Russia.

India`s economy is expected to grow by 7,2% in 2017, according to IMF. A new study highlights the growth that can be expected in intellectual advances, such as science and technology, which are often perceived as indicators of future growth.

It`s BRICS Innovation Competitiveness Report 2017 predicted that the innovation competitiveness of India would see a significant rise with its growth rate probably surpassing China between 2025 – 2030.

What is India`s Prime Minister Narendra Modi actually doing right? He has been taking notable steps forward in innovation, supported by a reform agenda.

Government schemes such as Digital India, which expands the countrys online infrastructure, and StartUp India, which promotes financial backing for entrepreneurs, have been unveiled to boost the countrys innovation and technology sectors.

India`s growing information technology and scientific expertise have also helped turn it into an increasingly dominant outsourcing hub.

So far, China is still the leader in terms of innovation competitiveness among BRICS nations, followed by Russia, South Africa, Brazil and India.

Europe is struggling to follow. Ireland is the best country with its 6,10% growth, followed by Romania with 5,9% growth and Estonia with 5,7% growth YoY.

At the bottom in Europe we find Norway with only 0,20% growth, Macedonia by its 0% and at the very bottom Liechtenstein with negative -1,9% growth.

Monaco, Liechtenstein and Luxemburg are the richest countries in the world measured by GDP per capita.
