Piraeus, Greece To Become Chinese Electronic Center Serving Southeastern Europe

News Analysis: Piraeus, Greece To Become Chinese Electronic Center Serving Southeastern Europe as China continues its Wise Investments in Greece. Greece has at least one Asset not many other countries offer: Strategic Location. For China to step in as it has already done relative to Ship Container Operations in Piraeus,  evidences wonderful Foresight; something many other Nations apparently lost.

Now the Chinese can develop their Electronic Assembly/Repair capability in Greece when the Country asks for Citizen’s Employment Opportunities.

Southeastern European Countries to be beneficiaries of this Electronics Investment are: Austria, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, and Spain. 

Astute Entrepreneurs and Investors should consider utilizing China’s Concept and Fund Projects in Greece. Prime Minister Antonis Samaras of Greece will surely be receptive to Projects which employ his Citizenry.

Reality.

☆ South African 50 Billion Rand ($4.64 Billion Dollars) Locomotive Purchases Make Both Domestic And International Suppliers Winners

News Analysis: South African 50 Billion Rand ($4.64 Billion Dollars) Locomotive Purchases Make Both Domestic And International Suppliers Winners this by making Competition convert to Cooperation.

China, the biggest Supplier with 359 Electric and 232 Diesel Locomotives beat out the other Locomotive Builders, who also came out handsomely with large orders in this 1,064 Total Order Tender.

Domestic Companies in South Africa will build portions of the Locomotives so they can eventually become Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM). With the ‘OEM’ Designation attached to their Company Names they can bid on Locomotive Fabrication Contracts anywhere. The Foreign Builders now, will become Partners with the South African Fabricators as the ‘Newbies’ seek contracts on the Continent as well as other places; a Win-Win Environment.

The Republic of South Africa is to be commended for wisely turning Competitors into Cooperators so it as well as everybody else become WINNERS.

☆ Creditor Russia Pulls $100+ Billion Out? Will Other Nations Follow Its Lead?

News Analysis: Russia Pulls $100+ Billion Out? Will Other Nations Follow Its Lead?; those are the questions many Economists ask about the American Economy. If China decides to pull is $1.26 Trillion Dollars out what would the Debtor Nation’s Leaders do: “Go To Las Vegas”?

Inexperienced Ill-Advised Leaders of Nations have to realize International Cabals, of which they design and orchestrate, can have Logarithmic Economic Consequences. Assuredly, if the Subject (s) of their Schemes are tied to other Creditor Countries, negative results are highly probable in any event.  

Many people think Debtor Nations are comparable to “Three-Legged Stools”. It does not take much energy to kick out a leg of such a stool thereby causing a Catastrophe. When a Nation, through ‘Intellectual Legerdemain’ suffers ‘Judgmental Arthritis’, it kicks out the legs of the stool on which it sits; gravity prevails thereafter. Cascading negative effects will assuredly occur to the owing Country.

A Debtor Nation, in a slow Fiscal Cycle, cannot afford to have Billions of Creditor Dollars removed from its Economy; unless its Leader’s (and/or their Handlers) desire, for what ever nefarious reasons, the effects of the “Three-Legged Stool” Debacle to happen to the owing Country.

☆ Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP) Develops A “Hole In Its Keel”?

News Analysis: The Vigilant Efforts of U.S. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, of Nevada, is at odds with the Wishful Thinking of some White House Members regarding the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP). Their wanting Congress to ‘Rubber Stamp’ their Scheme has many Senators and Members of the House of Representatives saying “NO”. They want to analyze what the White House Minions may have tentatively agreed to. Many people think Corporations Establishing International Laws is Wrong (as allegedly the ‘TPP’ allows).

Senator Reid, who has before shown his Independent Thinking in similar matters, does not want a “Rush To Judgment” regarding the ‘TPP’.

A seldom discussed element of the ‘TPP’ is why China and Russia, who both abut the Pacific Ocean, are not included in this ‘Partnership’. Perhaps residual ‘Cold War’ Mentalities continue to permeate the White House? This, in spite of the fact that China has purchased approximately $1.3 TRILLION DOLLARS of U.S. Federal Securities!

Many Economists realize that if China were to Withdraw from the U.S. Securities Market, a “1929” Scenario would be a Reality for Americans unfortunately. What would the White House do then? Again, go to Las Vegas, Nevada for some Entertainment?

Hopefully, Independent Thinkers like Harry Reid will provide a balance to the  ‘TPP’ Teeter-Totter.

Chinese Drank 1.865 Billion Bottles (155 Million Nine-Liter Cases) of Red Wine in 2013

News Analysis:  Red, the Chinese Color of Prosperity, may have influenced Chinese Citizens to enjoy both the Taste as well as the Appearance of the Wines they consumed. Now that China consumes more Red Wine than even France or Italy, Vinologists are ‘Getting the Business Message’ and are working on new Varieties for Chinese Consumption.

The growing sophistication of Consumers allows Greater Sales of Foreign Wines into the Chinese Market.

The Chinese also have, beyond their Wonderful Culture, and Fine Intellect, a Social/Economic Advantage of “Numerical Scale” (not found elsewhere in the World).

China Led The World In Gold Consumption In 2013

News Analysis: Purchases of Gold by Chinese in 2013 amounted to a total of 366 Tons. The Country mined 437.3 Tons last year. Since Chinese like gold for long-term economic purposes, 24 karat is preferred by citizens there.

In Gold Coinage, Turkey was the only country who minted more than Beijing last year.

Investors who want Historically Valuable Assets should consider Gold for their Inventory. The easily printed ‘Paper with Ink on It” (which is of questionable long term worth) called ‘National Currency’ largely has a major flaw in it; there are few ‘Real Assets’ to back it up.

☆ One Country’s ‘Patriot’ Is Another Country’s ‘Terrorist’

News Analysis: The portrait in Harbin, China’s Railway Station of  a Korean National who assassinated the Prime Minister of Japan, in 1909, has upset the Japanese Citizenry. Both China and Korea are of the opinion that such a ‘Memorial’ to this Event will bring World Peace against Hegemony;  which may lead to Invasion by a Country against another Nation.

Certainly, if one looks at the History of China, in particular, but also of Korea, will find THEIR BEING INVADED, THROUGHOUT THE CENTURIES. 

At the present time, both China and Korea seek to bolster their Defenses against possible future attack by Myopic Nations. The Tu Quoque aspect of  Hegemonic Nations  (HN) is that they decry China and Korea’s Defense Expenditures for modernization while proportionately spending much more themselves! ‘HN’s’ also export more weaponry to other nations by logarithmic proportions than does China or Korea.

Another inconsistency in the logic of ‘HN’s, is for example, China presently funds America $1.3+ TRILLION DOLLARS! Does the funding of an “Enemy”, $1.3+ TRILLION DOLLARS make Any Sense Whatsoever? When has such a colossal Financial Event like this Ever Occurred in the Military History of Mankind? NEVER. Yet, Politicians and the Mass Media constantly harangue about the “Asian Peril”; NONSENSE!

China has much money and does not need a War to help spur its Economy as possibly do other Nations now. The World Bankers who ‘Win By Wars Being Fought’ (a Historical Fact) are not going to financially influence a Nation with Trillions of Dollars in its Treasury; but may do so to a Nation with $17+ Trillion Dollars in Debt.

Which is the ONLY Nation in the World to drop Atomic Bombs on another country? Over the past Five Decades, which is the only SUPER POWER to invade Nations in another Continent?

Intense Thinking can Improve one’s Wisdom.

☆ Ninety-Seven Million Chinese Business People And Tourists Travelled Abroad In 2013

News Analysis: $102 Billion Dollars was spent by Chinese Travelers in their Excursions Abroad. In 2014 there are expected to be over 100 Million Chinese traveling afar. They travel for business, education, and leisure pursuits like everyone else but in spending an average of $1,050.00+/- each, economic benefits to Welcoming Countries are much larger.

Chinese Airlines benefit in carrying passengers due to their name recognitions in Asia. As Chinese Tourism increases and as those Airlines advertise widely abroad, In-Bound traffic should increase to China as well.

One might think that America: Which was Discovered By The Chinese; Initially Populated By Chinese; Developed early-on With Chinese Railroad Labor; And Presently, Financed By The Chinese (to over One Trillion+ Dollars) would be more appreciative than it appears it is. Constant Negative Washington Rhetoric by Politicians about the Chinese Government in particular shows  a lack of Wisdom on the part of these Foolish Americans. If the aforementioned Tourism to America ceased, it would hurt; If China withdrew its $1 Trillion+ Dollars of Financing to America, it would be Devastating, many people say. 

Perhaps Washington, D.C. Politicians should be given classes in both International Economics AND “Culture ‘Creature’ Studies” so they begin to understand “Dragon Power”.

Reality.

Chinese Multiplication Device, Built In 305 B.C., Makes Figures ‘Add Up’

News Analysis: Chinese Mathematical Ingenuity, was well utilized in creating the Multiplication Device, recently ‘Deciphered’ by Anthropologists. This Bamboo Tool with Calligraphy on it could be used for Commercial and Financial Activities of the Period. 

It is interesting to note the Mathematical Intelligence used in creating the Device in 305 B.C. is similarly carrying over with the Chinese People presently.

As China quickly becomes the World Economic Leader, its People can proudly say: “We were in Commerce back then; We are in Commerce and Finance today.”

“This Mathematical Intellect  must be in the Chinese D.N.A.”, some People say. Other are of the opinion that “Their Intellect reflects the benefits of having a 10,000 Year Old Culture.”

Either way, the Chinese Win.

Reality.
