The numbers are in for March and China’s, the world’s second-largest economy, showing exports and imports fell dramatically adding to the declining emerging market sector. This merely confirms what we have been forecasting that the bear market in emerging markets began in 2007 and will not bottom until 2020 on as 13 year decline and the […]

COMMENT: The conference must have been exhausting; I know there is so much work and preparation that these events require. A lot to catch up on, but firstly, I saw this headline yesterday and thought I would forward it to you! If you ever needed assurance that China was following the model (which I know […]

I have warned that China’s exports were an illusion and that there was a huge carry trade borrowing dollars in Hong Kong at 1% and depositing the money in China getting 6%. But trade tracks money, not goods, so the illusion that China was still expanding was a good one – but still just an […]

China has come out in support of Russia. This is the real cost of the NSA. Spying on  everything has cost America its respect and its allies.

Europe and the United States cannot compete for the future because their governments are like black holes sucking in the wealth of their own people and squandering it on unproductive forces. When we look at the former communistic empires of China and Russia, we see countries building from clean slates rather than imploding trying to […]

The South China Morning Post has reported a sharp drop by 42% in gold purchases coming from China. This is typical as we head into the lows. The idea that they will just keep buying as prices fall is wishful thinking. China should relax its demand as prices decline.

China’s largest Bitcoin exchange said Wednesday that it has stopped accepting new deposits. China has dealt Bitcoin a crippling blow that could make it much harder to trade the virtual currency in China.

We have been asked about the recent expansion of China’s borders into the Sea just north of the Senkaku Islands. This is precisely on target for our Cycle of War model on China that was due to turn up in 2012 and has done so perfectly. We review this cycle in a Special Report on […]
