China is the largest trade partner of :

1. Russia

2. India

3. ASEAN

4. Brazil

5. Saudi Arabia

6. Kazakhstan

7. Australia

Beyond North America, Europe, and Africa, China is in the lead in terms of trade with the major nations in the other regions of the world.

In Africa too, China is making swift progress in becoming the largest trade partner of South Africa, which would limit the US trade dominance to North America and Europe.

North America and the EU taken together represent 45.4% of the world's GDP and a declining share over time.

Meanwhile the share of the rest of the world is continually rising and ever increasing in its trade with China.

China is the largest trade partner of the world today. Which pretty much guarantees that it will continue to grow its economy no matter what else happens in the world tomorrow. Population loss will not be enough to stop China from growing in GDP faster than the US.

China is the new future leader of the global world order, there is no way around it.

It has a higher population than the US.

It has a higher total trade with the world than the US.

It has more connections with fresh blood than the US.

It's people are more united than the US.

China is only 6-16 years behind other developed nation states in terms of cutting edge technology.

China has defeated the US as the US is only focused on sustaining itself meanwhile China is focused on maximum possible growth at all times.

In conclusion, the west is limited to North America and Europe. They will never expand beyond these two territories. They do not have a large enough population to run the world or compete against East Asians in the long run.

The East Asians sacrificed everything and won.

MİT's surveillance of the outlawed Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK), the Revolutionary People's Liberation Party-Front (DHKP-C) and the Communist Party of Turkey/Marxist Leninist (TKP/ML), all of which are considered by Turkish authorities to be threats to national security

Maybe they're considered threats to national security because they're all terrorists? The DHKP-C has a long history of suicide bombings and attacks on Americans. Why are they in Germany? Shouldn't the Germans be spying on them and passing all the information on to Turkey?

Fascinating article about how diversity is amazing.

BAG STORY

A juror was dismissed Monday after reporting that a woman dropped a bag of $120,000 in cash at her home and offered her more money if she would vote to acquit seven people charged with stealing more than $40 million from a program meant to feed children during the pandemic.

The 23-year-old juror said she immediately turned over the bag of cash to police. She said a woman left it with her father-in-law Sunday with the message that she'd get another bag of cash if she voted to acquit, according to a report in the Minneapolis Star Tribune.

JUSTICE.GOV summary:

U.S. Attorney Announces Federal Charges Against 47 Defendants in $250 Million Feeding Our Future Fraud Scheme

“Today's indictments describe an egregious plot to steal public funds meant to care for children in need in what amounts to the largest pandemic relief fraud scheme yet,” said FBI Director Christopher Wray. “The defendants went to great lengths to exploit a program designed to feed underserved children in Minnesota amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, fraudulently diverting millions of dollars designated for the program for their own personal gain. These charges send the message that the FBI and our law enforcement partners remain vigilant and will vigorously pursue those who attempt to enrich themselves through fraudulent means.”

“This was a brazen scheme of staggering proportions,” said U.S. Attorney Andrew M. Luger for the District of Minnesota. “These defendants exploited a program designed to provide nutritious food to needy children during the COVID-19 pandemic. Instead, they prioritized their own greed, stealing more than a quarter of a billion dollars in federal funds to purchase luxury cars, houses, jewelry, and coastal resort property abroad. I commend the work of the skilled investigators and prosecutors who unraveled the lies, deception, and mountains of false documentation to bring this complex case to light.”
