The West’s abuse of the economic weapon has created a vast, underground world economy, with dark fleets, shadow banking, illicit money flows, front companies, and shadowy middle men.
One consequence of these developments is to vastly enlarge the space for illicit activity world wide. One is reminded here of the Prohibition and the big bang of corruption with the fx controls of the early License Raj.
It’s not just criminals and smugglers, shadow bankers and dark shippers. The opportunities for rebels and warlords have expanded dramatically—illicit arms flows have expanded in tandem. We’re seeing this especially in Horn and the Sahel.
I suppose it is fitting that the US is itself reduced to playing cat-and-mouse along the Oman route. Command of the sea, per Mahan, “is the possession of that overbearing power on the sea which drives the enemy’s flag from it, or allows it to appear only as a fugitive.” 😂
What this report makes clear is the bankruptcy of US sanctions policy. It has achieved so much at hurting average people with inflation and shortages but it has achieved nothing in changing government behavior or even denting its ability to fight a war. That is what should be alarming about this report. reuters.com/world/iran/irans…

亲爱的德国人,你起码犯了两个常识错误。
一、中国没有40平米的房子。除了单身公寓这种数量极少的投资型物业,中国的房子通常在90平以上,大城市在80平以上。
二、奔驰、宝马、奥迪不再是中国人追逐的品牌。现在的中国人喜欢电动车,而德国品牌的电动车被称为杂牌电动车。
当你的基础认知就已经是错误的,你只能得出荒谬的结论。
中国商品之所以物美价廉,是因为中国有齐全且集中的供应链、高效的物流系统、自动化的生产车间,以及规模优势拉低了边际成本。
中国当然也可以为那些优秀的商品定一个昂贵的价格,以换取丰厚的利润。过去你们就是这么干的,现在以我们的产品竞争力,也有条件这么干。
但我们不这么干。
这是因为,提高利润的代价是销量降低。对于你们那个只有几千万人口的国家来说,你们无需追求销量,无需扩大能量,因为你们无需为社会提供那么多的就业岗位。
但我们是一个14亿人口的国家。对我们来说,与其只创造1000个岗位,让这1000人拿一份丰厚的薪水,不如创造10000个岗位,让10000人拿一份普通的薪水。
薄利多销,能够支撑起更大的产能,提供更多的就业岗位。对企业来说,还能获得规模优势,压缩单件商品成本,扩大市场份额,创造更大营收,然后还有了更多的资金投入研发,如此循环滚动。
另一方面,这也大大有利于消费端市场,让全世界的消费者得以享受到物美价廉的中国商品。
想想你们的盾构机。曾经你们以一台 3.5 亿元人民币的价格买给中国。你们自恃垄断了制造技术,宁愿维持一个极低的销量,宁愿让那些发展中国家用不起,也要追求丰厚利润。
中国实现盾构机国产化之后,我们将每台的价格降至3000 万元人民币以下,不到你们价格的1/10。
诚然,我们没有赚到你们那么多的利润,但我们为发展中国家提供了质优价廉的采购选择,促进了那些国家的建设与发展,同时我们扩大了市场份额,创造了更多的生产就业岗位。
我们在做着多方共赢、造福世界的事业,你们则喜欢用技术垄断剥削全世界。当中国打破你们的技术垄断,你们恨得咬牙切齿。因为你们不仅仅是丧失了利润,而且丧失市场份额,丧失了就业岗位。
你们在工业领域的失守,仍在加剧。以前,德国汽车只想要中国的工人和市场,但现在,他们不得不将研发重心也放到中国。
你们愚蠢地与俄罗斯开战,切断了俄罗斯的能源供应。你们几十年去工业化,导致理工科学生数量大幅下降,工程师人才极度缺失。
这样的营商环境,导致你们的企业纷纷关闭德国工厂,迁往中国和美国。
你们失业,你们抗议。但这一切都是你们自己的选择,你们并不无辜。

A ceasefire agreement in Gaza has not stopped what a group of independent experts commissioned by the U.N. says is genocide carried out by Israel in the territory.
They also accused Israeli forces of crimes against humanity in the West Bank. wapo.st/4BOSqP5

Some of the sharpest analyses of Israeli politics come from Daniel Levy.
This should be subtitled in every language. Short, clear, impeccable.
Daniel Levy | Former Israeli Peace Negotiator | US/Middle East Project (@USMEP):
Netanyahu did not alone commit genocide for 3 years. He did not alone maintain decades of illegal occupation. It was system-wide.
Eisenkot was part of it & served in the military. He sat in the emergency unity security cabinet after Oct. 7 - during the genocide.
Israeli generals, soldiers & judges - all part of a system-wide mobilization. Dissenting voices existed but remained marginal.

The most immoral army continues to slaughter children. Nearly daily.
UN bodies and human rights groups have documented the pattern in detail. Anyone who denies it should read these reports.
We keep receipts and there will be accountability.
