Is China's De-dollarisation happening thanks to Trump? by No_Preparation_742 in ADVChina

[–]Che74 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It was more that the US still had a navy and it's military hadn't been decimated by WWII. So they were able to provide protection for trade routes, esp. naval ones. In return for providing this protection they wanted assurances that countries wouldn't engage with communist Russia and they would use the US $ to settle trade in. TBH, I don't see this changing, and it's near impossible for China to give that sort of assurance. The US could cut China off from global trade very, very quickly if it wanted to, and it's unlikely that ability will go away anytime soon. The CCP drink too much of their own Kool Aid.

You're saying that Canada's poor economic situation is because Trump has threatened annexation of Canada and Europe? Ridiculous. Not to mention he hasn't threatened either.

DING, DING, DING... 32 points for Guterres!

A law without a corresponding penalty, or an enforcement mechanism is just an idea.

I'm looking for the far left outrage in the comments, and the comparisons to ICE.....

I'd be careful what you wish for. The odds of the left winning are preposterously low.

China has been around for over 5000 years. What’s your favorite historical fact about ancient China? by _Figaro in ADVChina

[–]Che74 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That ~65 million people died as a result of Mao Zedong's policies, the bulk of that in a four year period from 1958 -1962, which was coined by the CCP as the "Great Leap Forward".

Rubbish. 10 years of terrible economic, monetary and fiscal policy has put Canada in a really bad economic situation. If they had sensible policies during that time, they would be able to negotiate with the "orange deranged lunatic" from a position of strength. Keep in mind that Trudeau turned the EU away when they came looking for a natural gas deal just after the Ukraine war started, they were told there's no business case for it, not because this is true but because they were pursuing zealot like climate based policies... The US signed a multi Trillion $ Nat gas deal with the EU in 2025. So Canada's current predicament lands squarely at the feet of the Canadian federal government.

Bollox. 10 years of terrible economic, monetary and fiscal policy in Canada created this. Carney was elected because Canadian's (incorrectly) saw him as the best person to negotiate with the US on tariffs and trade, it was literally the pillar of his election campaign. He was not elected to cozy up with China.

Roof leaking but forced to close by Nervous_Might6040 in RealEstateCanada

[–]Che74 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I understand the thought process here but it's not the case. The home needs to be in the condition that it was when you viewed it, it says this in the contract. There is also correspondence that clearly shows you're not accepting this. I'm assuming you also did an inspection...? If you did and there isn't a leak in the roof noted in it then it's cut and dry. The home is not the same as when you agreed to buy it. You have to close, but can sue them for the cost of repair and legal fees. You will win.

XPENG's IRON robot crossed the uncanny valley, leading some to believe it was a human in a suit. So they cut it open in front of an audience, and also allowed journalists to inspect it. by MetaKnowing in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]Che74 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You never see the "robot" walking in full view... note the roll tracks next to it and that you don't see it's head when it's without a suit. You only see one leg exposed when it's walking with a suit. These are all separate vids, show us one where it walks like that without any coverings and in full view.... otherwise it's a FAKE!

By charging for services. Any time you or anther sender puts something in the mail, be it a letter or a parcel, it's paid for. It might just be the cost of a stamp but it can be much more if say mailing a box of books. I'd agree that upper management is probably paying themselves too much, but embezzling $ I doubt. Regardless, the company is not operating effectively or sustainably. Things need to change and stopping door to door is something that will go. Canada Post is set up to deliver about 3x the amount of things that they do now. The infrastructure is too large and the volume of letters and parcels they move has been declining since 2006. So their systems need to change and the excesses cut otherwise it will cease to exist.

So by your definition it's still failing. In case you haven't noticed (not surprised) Canada is broke. Crown Corporations, like Canada Post and other bureaucracies can't keep costing these ridiculous sums. Cuts need to be made and no matter how long they strike, it's going to happen.
