re <<what's your guess?>> if Russian, then Russia not showing us all in Ukraine if Chinese, then China not supplying Russia to use in Ukraine you know, the topic is trending and topical, and I believe the Chinese Ambassador to the UN is just stating what he takes to be should-be obvious, as opposed to an empty boast, because empty-boast is unhelpful, as either warning or as 'chest-thumping' - the fellow is NOT authorised to either boast or bluff even as the question came up suddenly from Team USA re what the China UN fellow noted, more interesting, is that the Russia reactions, meaning the lack thereof, telling us all we need to know, that which we might term acquiescence

re <<teotwawki is a pretty darn weird period of uncertainty... what is your guess?>> I continue to best-guess Nixon-ing, but yes, weird, seemingly, but actually not so uncertain imo we continue to watch, not avoid gaze, share, and do peer-review bloomberg.com Trump Says He Would ‘Rather Not’ Have to Impose Tariffs on China US President Donald Trump Photographer: Yuri Gripas/Abaca/Bloomberg By Bloomberg News 24 January 2025 at 10:48 GMT+8 President Donald Trump expressed a reluctance to impose tariffs on China during a television interview, suggesting a trade war between the world’s largest economies could be avoided. “We have one very big power over China, and that’s tariffs, and they don’t want them,” the US leader told Fox News in an interview that aired Thursday in the US. “And I’d rather not have to use it. But it’s a tremendous power over China.” President Donald Trump’s China tariffs comment on Fox News highlighted uncertainty over the White House’s next moves, Bloomberg TV reports. Trump threatened on his second day in office to put 10% tariffs on China as soon as Feb. 1 for allowing fentanyl to “pour” into America. On the campaign trail, the Republican floated levies on China around the 60% mark, which economists have said could decimate trade with the Chinese economy that’s heavily reliant on exports. The yuan extended gains in both onshore and offshore markets after Trump’s comments. The offshore yuan rose 0.3% against the greenback, while the onshore yuan gained 0.2%. Trump reiterated his admiration for China and its leader Xi Jinpingduring the interview, saying he was “like my friend” and that a recent call with him “went fine.” “It was a good, friendly conversation,” Trump said. “I had a great relationship with him prior to Covid,” he added. “They are a very ambitious country. He’s a very ambitious man.”
