(20) re this piece of journalism by Bloomberg bloomberg.com <<Why Your Nintendo Switch 2, Xbox Is Now ‘Made in Vietnam’ Not China>>, a few questions
(20-a) where (nations) do the parts / components of the Switch 2 / Xbox come from if you know ?
(20-b) where (nations) are the actual owners of the production facilities and economic benefits domiciled and how changed before / after relocation of the actual assemblies ?
(20-c) Do all the to & fro not simply free up precious labour in China for better use, like building hypersonic projectiles this and AI-enabled jet fighters that ? Just-asking
(21) analyze the impact of this labor reallocation on China's overall economic growth and it's "Made in China 2025" goals, especially comparing the value-add of the relocated assembly jobs versus the new high-tech sectors,
(22) Given the conclusion that the US tariffs are "subsidizing China's transition to high-tech superpower," what are the immediate investment implications for the US tech sector and for the companies like Nvidia and AMD?
(23) even for Nintendo and Xbox, are their respective supply chains actually more 'secure' and 'de-risked' or truthfully more vulnerable, particularly given what is now-now happening in the East China and South China Seas and the Taiwan Strait in between? text, voice, slides, please
(24) What do the stock price charts for Hosiden Corp, Goertek, and Pegatron look like in gold terms for the period 2023-01-02 to now 2025-12-11 ?
(25) and of the three companies, only the China company has easy access to new opportunities thrown up by the supply chain chaos tabled
(26) Re bloomberg.com <<Mexico Approves Up to 50% Tariffs on China, Other Asian Nations>> - dunno, perhaps watch for signs of enveloping TwoAPuc (The Worst of All Possible Unintended Consequences) where Mexico becomes a failed state by way of supply chain disruptions and such same, cut off by China, rejected by US, and left on sidewalk like a tin of bad cat food under the hot sun. What happens going forward, your best guess.
(24) Q: dunno, unsure why Empire weakening its erstwhile allies and 'friends' by all means possible here in Asia, there in Latin America / Mexico / Canada, and everywhere in Europe and Middle East, all the while Russia making its ally North Korea stronger, with solid-fueled ICBMs tipped with nuke warheads
(24-a) fortune.com <<North Korea unveils new intercontinental ballistic missile that may be tested in coming weeks>> - I note that N Korea was forever R&D-ing liquid-fueled rocketry and failed to get consistent / desired result, ditto atomic warheads too large for expeditious delivery on such faulty rockets, but all of a sudden, post signing mutual defense treaty with Russia, able to so rapidly pivot
(24-b) bbc.com <<N Korea fires banned missile in longest flight yet>> - and away she goes
(24-c) armyrecognition.com <<Three stages solid-fueled intercontinental ballistic missile - North Korea>> - call me tinfoil hat type, but the Hwasong-18 3-STAGES armyrecognition.com looks like a Russian 3-STAGES en.wikipedia.org with same-ish TEL upload.wikimedia.org China TEL for the DF-41 missilethreat.csis.org is same-ish as the N Korean TEL for the Hwasong-18 with cosmetic adjustments, coincidence am sure
Q: will the Empire help Japan and Germany to get nuked-up ? thus granting geopolitical freedom to both ?
(25) Given Empire would not help Germany / Japan to go nuke, would the Empire even allow (acquiesce) them to go nuke ?
(26) Analyze the immediate economic and geopolitical consequences for the US dollar's status as the world's reserve currency if both Japan and Germany go nuclear within the next five years. |
