The situation reminds me of a parable: the grandfather builds the business, the father profits from it, and the son destroys it. We are in the destruction phase, as far as US capitalism is concerned. US "industrialists" do not know how their fortunes were made. In reality, US industrial companies no longer exist. They are all financial firms, now. When you compare the histories of China and Latin America, you see a lot of parallels, with respect to the Century of Humiliation. If China can kickstart a Renaissance, the entire region could prosper.
The "best" is yet to come. Under Trump, US capitalism will be on super steroid, the era of billionaire while the rest of the folks get poorer and suffer.
China is a trading nation.China doesn’t meddle in other countries internal affairs.China has not toppled a single leader.In comparison US has directly or indirectly attacked more than 80 countries since WW2.US is more interested maintaining it’s global hegemony than help developing countries with transfer of technology or investment.
It is not just South American business they don't want. A Canadian EV truck startup ( Edison Motors) wanted to buy e-axles from an American company that had asked the startup to talk about their product on the startup's YT channel. The company said no, we only sell to large OEMs. They contacted a Chinese company and then went to China to meet with the engineers. They are now buying from China. Well in China they walked past a diesel engine manufacturing company and decided to try and get a meeting. The gate guard would not let them in without an appointment. So waited till lunch and talked to random employees walking outside until they found an English speaker. He told them this factory did not make engines but took their number. They got a call from an engineer later, who set up a meeting at their hotel. American companies don't want to do business with anybody. Chinese companies want to do business with everybody.
Chilean fruit is absolutely amazing : I’m in the UK and buy anything that says Chile on the packet (nectarines, grapes, cherries, whatever) as they’re all incredibly sweet.
The bigger tragedy with Wall St and Capitol Hill on this matter is China’s investments in South American countries is actually the long term solution to USA’s problems with illegal economic immigrants. As these investments increases the GDP of these South American countries the income and living standards of its peoples will also increase. The result will be that fewer South Americans will have cause to be illegal economic migrants to the USA. Building a wall is only dealing with the symptom what China is doing in securing resources for itself in South America is having a beneficial side effect to the US. It is really dealing with the root cause of USA’s border issue. If only the US would compete with China on who can build better infrastructure and facilities in South America. Alas this is unlikely to be. The USA are themselves in dire need of renewing their own aged and decaying infrastructure across the country.
What you forget is that a large number of US companies openly support migration to the USA, and the reason is that they want cheap labor. All companies that support democrats are OK with this because they understand that more poor people moving to the USA will result in more available labor and lower salaries overall. Think about all major fast food corporations, all major hotel chains, all major food processing companies, they all want the migrants coming from Latin America. Major tech companies also want the best educated workers from Latin America, so they don't support economic development down there as well.
In the new economy, industry and economic development of the 21st Century the South American countries are entitled to their place under the sun. To develop and retain talent with their young people who are the future of their respective countries.
It's a long term solution only if you view South American countries as equals in an equal relationship. Not as client states to keep off kilter so that you can maintain "national security"
Despite all the fanfare and hopium the US will NEVER be able to decouple from China in any meaningful sense, regardless of rising labor costs cause it's still less expensive and more skilled to manufacture (most things) in China than just about any other place in the world. And the quality of goods has continued to improve over the years and decades. On the other hand and unfortunately for the US, China CAN and WILL decouple from the US in terms of raw materials needed as they can be increasingly sourced from its friendly allies all over the globe. As a consequence the Global South will now have more options to forge their futures independently from the West. We are truly entering a brave new world.
China can and will decouple from the US in terms of 'dual use' strategic components and materials export, as they are a very small portion of China's revenue and GDP. We're seeing the first steps with Gallium, Germanium, Graphene and industrial diamonds. If the US doesn't course correct, we can expect China to expand controls to include aerospace-grade alloys and more rare earths. Try to work out the impact when the US MIC has to pay exponentially more for smaller quantities of sensitive materials. Will the US spend billions of capital to build infrastructure and production to compete with China at vastly lower efficiency and competitiveness? It'll be like American Jones Act & military shipbuilding, extremely expensive and minimal volume.
@@ZweiZwolf China doesn't really want to decouple though. They want to earn money and are playing the iterated prisoner's dilemma strategy of tit-for-tat. That works well for rational actors. Not so well against psychopathy.
@sweetaznspice1. Great valid points. Also, presently China is the world factory and are the largest trading partner to 140 countries. China manufactures about 35% of the world's products. It is estimated that with the 5G, 6G, AI, robots, stem graduates, the largest 600M Chinese middle class customers, China will manufacture about 50% of the world's products in 2030. Also, the US trade with China is decreasing by the day, now down to 16.2%. China is decoupling from the US, but the US and its parrot media cannot see it.
Western investors are just greedy. In the 20th century they have build a business model based on exploiting the resources of the third world with aircraft carrier diplomacy. They had resistance from the Soviet bloc. With the OPEC crisis they switched to the knowledge based economy. Making their profits by licensing their patents, copyrights and brands instead of doing the costly hard work of production. They became lazy, detached from the physical realities of hard works. The Soviet bloc collapse. They became sure that no changes could be made in the world's economies without their investments. And they got an acute case of Hubris, thinking that from now on they could play gods with humanity. Imposing their values, laws and order to the rest of mankind like those wealthy families of the Roman Empire. Civilian enterprise CEOs have no choice, they have a mandate from the board of director to deliver in the short term 12% of ROI to the shareholders. They can no longer invest in long term projects that don't fit in their mandate. With Military enterprise CEOs all the hard work is paid by taxpayers money and the investors will have ROI from their shares in military enterprises and interests on loans to the government.
yes this reason makes sense in the past when SA didnt have any alternative but not anymore in present time when they can turn to the chinese. . So why uS wouldnt want to earn the billions dollars infras projects themselves if they can do it . The reality are the infras are beyond their capabilites to compete with the chinese companies which can build faster , cheaper and better. Shouldnt the uS companies be needed to fix their crumbling infras at home than take on large complex projects in other countries. ?
Over the years wall street has gradually moved from funding physical infrastructure to focusing on “technology”; I think this is one of the reasons the US cannot compete with China in the developing world. Wall Street and US firms are not ready to commit to physical infrastructure overseas.
That’s because actually building up physical infrastructure means that economy can start to grow and will eventually compete with American companies. We do everything we can to prevent competition except making quality products
U.S is so far behind in infrastructure tech... its beeen decades since U.S last built any large scale projects with diverse terrain and evironment like China has been doing for years. I bet U.S contruction companies dont bother when they cant delay projects for more money, if you want projects to get completed on pre-set schedule and budget then you better call China cuz it will most likely be completed ahead of schedule and within designated budget
I think it’s so difficult and expensive to get through environmental impact hurdles, that people just don’t want to bother with it anymore, so the people and knowledge have left.
And to support your comment we've contracted 2 major bridge projects with the Chinese and were completed within budget and time and we even paid a bonus for their achievements 🤫😄but don't tell the American public
That's because the US is largely developed, whereas China was not. There's also a tremendous amount of waste in Chinese capital projects including whole cities that are empty.😂 The US still builds plenty and we do it well. It's over regulated but I expect that to change .

American companies might have been indulging too much of their government protectionism and pampering effort. They have lost their drive to work hard. If you could earn big with defense contract, why would you be hassled anything else.
Although I have no idea about the details of these specific cases, a lot of Western companies have to decline doing good business because the business might (for example) hurt their ESG score. Why would ESG score matter more than making a good deal? because what matters to management is getting the stock value go up, not getting the bottom line go up. To get stock value to go up, you have to have the big hedgefunds invest in you. And for them to do that, your ESG score must be good enough that the ETF that their investment is part of has been flagged "ESG friendly". Tons of secondary, tertiary, quartary effects like that. That is how business became politicised, and by being politicised stopped being a functioning free marketplace. Chinese companies still have the raw drive of making money through doing good business. Often they aren't even publicly traded.
no use at all, the western media has brained the public for generations and dumb down any real thoughts. so, no one is doing anything to remove the rot at the top.

For centuries, South America has been considered and forced to be America's backyard. When times are good in the United States, we support all the dictators in South America; when times are bad, we withdraw investment and move factories out of South America. Time is the best teacher, and when ordinary people can review what we did in South America through the Internet, they know what to do.
The US businessmen have lost interest in South America as their Presidents have been calling the people in South America with unfriendly and insulting tone
That’s true, but see what happened with Bolsonaro and Milei. These two people are huge USA supporters, but even they cannot move the needle against China in South America because they need the money. The USA is not giving anything to South America, so they have no way to stop working with China.
The US doesn't understand once BRICS payment system is up and running, the US will be the target of major sabotage and even terrorist which the world may call freedom fighters. Because, the US won't be able to protect themselves being spread so thin and due to the fact that the US can't invade other countries without destroying itself and most importantly won't be able to sanction effectively. Once US no longer have control over world economy look out, the retaliation will be constant.

LatAm should be mindful that the US is still first and foremost a military power, so if they step out of line, the US will bring the stick again. And again. And again. If LatAm doesn't want assassinations, coups, or invasions, they need to get stronger.
China is very good at building bridges across rivers and canals, but excels in building bridges between nations. Whilst America imposes itself as the leader of the world dictating what countries should do, China quietly acts, and countries automatically follow without losing their own independence.
Longer term this is bad for the USA. After years of trading Chinese oil companies will have an easier access to Latin American oil fields. The shipping ports will help the country develop mutual trust. Then when they decide to review oil contracts Chinese companies will be treated more favourably.

As frustrating as it seems, the only US business strategy is to kneecap the competition to keep our present investments returning dividends. We're thinking that promoting its development will help the unfriendly countries becoming self sustaining. But why are they unfriendly? In shunning countries from our unlimited funds and technologies we're antagonizing their development and just triggering unavoidable retributions which translate into isolating ourselves. Who in its right mind wants to conduct business with us?... unless threatened in some ways, which is what our sanctions are for. So, we should not be surprised at all when China fills our voids and prosper along with the rest of the world.
Bechtel was awarded a multi billion contract in my country Romania, a while back to counstruct highways that will connect our estern port to our western border. Many years later after they could not build or didnt want the contract was stoped and we looked for alternatives.
US companies used to have all the technologies and demand big profit in any project. China will do it for half the profit but with long term tie and future projects. This is how you treat third world countries...with respect. China is leading for a better world.
Another sign that American exceptionalism is the exception and China fills that exception. China's influence in the world is on the rise. American influence is in decline and missing in action.

…only one issue: China’s Belt and Road Initiative loans’ generosity is a disguise for neocolonialism. If/when these countries default on the loans, China will take possession of land and ports just like they have been in South Asia and Africa.
But they collect the profits very soon, as many countries in east Europe, Africa, south Asia and central America lost their sovereignity due to unpaid loans..... They are no charity institution...
China takes on big risk. The profit is small but China is willing to do it. If it helps these countries, it serves the purpose. What if these guys don't pay? Big risk. In fact, China has been forgiving some loans with some countries. When these countries do well and have more jobs, there will be fewer illegal immigrants and refugees. Peace, no wars.
If only USA had think and act the same toward their southern neighbors for the past 50+ years, today's border problem would not have existed.

Brazil has already been de-foresting the Amazon for years to increase agricultural land. This is the purview of the Brazilian government. This increased agricultural land benefits Brazilian exports to China, thereby China can import less and less from the USA. Win win for the BRiCS partners.
the ocean provides 80% of the worlds oxygen trees only account for 10% of the earths oxygen. where do you think oxygen comes from before there are plants?
US and EU companies tend to push what they have for tier domestic markets without much consideration or local needs and wants. Generally, Asian companies including Chinese tend to be better on market focus.
It is much easier to manipulate stocks for profit rather than build a port or railway. That is the difference between western financial capitalism versus industrial capitalism.

US "industrialists" do not know how their fortunes were made. In reality, US industrial companies no longer exist. They are all financial firms, now.
When you compare the histories of China and Latin America, you see a lot of parallels, with respect to the Century of Humiliation. If China can kickstart a Renaissance, the entire region could prosper.
Well put !!!! How many times I’ve seen family business go as you describe 😢
Grandfather came from Germany or Sweden with Lutheran ethics.
The "best" is yet to come. Under Trump, US capitalism will be on super steroid, the era of billionaire while the rest of the folks get poorer and suffer.
U.S. now has few industrialists, but lots of MBAs!

China is a trading nation.China doesn’t meddle in other countries internal affairs.China has not toppled a single leader.In comparison US has directly or indirectly attacked more than 80 countries since WW2.US is more interested maintaining it’s global hegemony than help developing countries with transfer of technology or investment.
It is not just South American business they don't want. A Canadian EV truck startup ( Edison Motors) wanted to buy e-axles from an American company that had asked the startup to talk about their product on the startup's YT channel. The company said no, we only sell to large OEMs. They contacted a Chinese company and then went to China to meet with the engineers. They are now buying from China. Well in China they walked past a diesel engine manufacturing company and decided to try and get a meeting. The gate guard would not let them in without an appointment. So waited till lunch and talked to random employees walking outside until they found an English speaker. He told them this factory did not make engines but took their number. They got a call from an engineer later, who set up a meeting at their hotel. American companies don't want to do business with anybody. Chinese companies want to do business with everybody.

The bigger tragedy with Wall St and Capitol Hill on this matter is China’s investments in South American countries is actually the long term solution to USA’s problems with illegal economic immigrants. As these investments increases the GDP of these South American countries the income and living standards of its peoples will also increase. The result will be that fewer South Americans will have cause to be illegal economic migrants to the USA. Building a wall is only dealing with the symptom what China is doing in securing resources for itself in South America is having a beneficial side effect to the US. It is really dealing with the root cause of USA’s border issue. If only the US would compete with China on who can build better infrastructure and facilities in South America. Alas this is unlikely to be. The USA are themselves in dire need of renewing their own aged and decaying infrastructure across the country.
What you forget is that a large number of US companies openly support migration to the USA, and the reason is that they want cheap labor. All companies that support democrats are OK with this because they understand that more poor people moving to the USA will result in more available labor and lower salaries overall. Think about all major fast food corporations, all major hotel chains, all major food processing companies, they all want the migrants coming from Latin America. Major tech companies also want the best educated workers from Latin America, so they don't support economic development down there as well.
Might not be all that beneficial to the US. Their economy relies on u documented immigrants desperate to take any job.
In the new economy, industry and economic development of the 21st Century the South American countries are entitled to their place under the sun. To develop and retain talent with their young people who are the future of their respective countries.
It's a long term solution only if you view South American countries as equals in an equal relationship. Not as client states to keep off kilter so that you can maintain "national security"
100% correct
Despite all the fanfare and hopium the US will NEVER be able to decouple from China in any meaningful sense, regardless of rising labor costs cause it's still less expensive and more skilled to manufacture (most things) in China than just about any other place in the world. And the quality of goods has continued to improve over the years and decades. On the other hand and unfortunately for the US, China CAN and WILL decouple from the US in terms of raw materials needed as they can be increasingly sourced from its friendly allies all over the globe. As a consequence the Global South will now have more options to forge their futures independently from the West. We are truly entering a brave new world.
China can and will decouple from the US in terms of 'dual use' strategic components and materials export, as they are a very small portion of China's revenue and GDP. We're seeing the first steps with Gallium, Germanium, Graphene and industrial diamonds. If the US doesn't course correct, we can expect China to expand controls to include aerospace-grade alloys and more rare earths. Try to work out the impact when the US MIC has to pay exponentially more for smaller quantities of sensitive materials. Will the US spend billions of capital to build infrastructure and production to compete with China at vastly lower efficiency and competitiveness? It'll be like American Jones Act & military shipbuilding, extremely expensive and minimal volume.
@@ZweiZwolf China doesn't really want to decouple though. They want to earn money and are playing the iterated prisoner's dilemma strategy of tit-for-tat. That works well for rational actors. Not so well against psychopathy.
@sweetaznspice1. Great valid points. Also, presently China is the world factory and are the largest trading partner to 140 countries. China manufactures about 35% of the world's products. It is estimated that with the 5G, 6G, AI, robots, stem graduates, the largest 600M Chinese middle class customers, China will manufacture about 50% of the world's products in 2030. Also, the US trade with China is decreasing by the day, now down to 16.2%. China is decoupling from the US, but the US and its parrot media cannot see it.

Western investors are just greedy. In the 20th century they have build a business model based on exploiting the resources of the third world with aircraft carrier diplomacy. They had resistance from the Soviet bloc. With the OPEC crisis they switched to the knowledge based economy. Making their profits by licensing their patents, copyrights and brands instead of doing the costly hard work of production. They became lazy, detached from the physical realities of hard works. The Soviet bloc collapse. They became sure that no changes could be made in the world's economies without their investments. And they got an acute case of Hubris, thinking that from now on they could play gods with humanity. Imposing their values, laws and order to the rest of mankind like those wealthy families of the Roman Empire.
Civilian enterprise CEOs have no choice, they have a mandate from the board of director to deliver in the short term 12% of ROI to the shareholders. They can no longer invest in long term projects that don't fit in their mandate. With Military enterprise CEOs all the hard work is paid by taxpayers money and the investors will have ROI from their shares in military enterprises and interests on loans to the government.
The USA does not want to uplift the infrastructure in South America because that would make it more difficult to exploit.
yes this reason makes sense in the past when SA didnt have any alternative but not anymore in present time when they can turn to the chinese. .
So why uS wouldnt want to earn the billions dollars infras projects themselves if they can do it . The reality are the infras are beyond their capabilites to compete with the chinese companies which can build faster , cheaper and better.
Shouldnt the uS companies be needed to fix their crumbling infras at home than take on large complex projects in other countries. ?

@@nanyanguo1 United snakes companies can't even do simple things without any financial issues
Over the years wall street has gradually moved from funding physical infrastructure to focusing on “technology”; I think this is one of the reasons the US cannot compete with China in the developing world. Wall Street and US firms are not ready to commit to physical infrastructure overseas.
They are, if they can get the military to go in and destroy the existing infrastructure first 😉

That’s because actually building up physical infrastructure means that economy can start to grow and will eventually compete with American companies. We do everything we can to prevent competition except making quality products
U.S is so far behind in infrastructure tech... its beeen decades since U.S last built any large scale projects with diverse terrain and evironment like China has been doing for years. I bet U.S contruction companies dont bother when they cant delay projects for more money, if you want projects to get completed on pre-set schedule and budget then you better call China cuz it will most likely be completed ahead of schedule and within designated budget

And to support your comment we've contracted 2 major bridge projects with the Chinese and were completed within budget and time and we even paid a bonus for their achievements 🤫😄but don't tell the American public
That's because the US is largely developed, whereas China was not. There's also a tremendous amount of waste in Chinese capital projects including whole cities that are empty.😂

Although I have no idea about the details of these specific cases, a lot of Western companies have to decline doing good business because the business might (for example) hurt their ESG score. Why would ESG score matter more than making a good deal? because what matters to management is getting the stock value go up, not getting the bottom line go up. To get stock value to go up, you have to have the big hedgefunds invest in you. And for them to do that, your ESG score must be good enough that the ETF that their investment is part of has been flagged "ESG friendly". Tons of secondary, tertiary, quartary effects like that. That is how business became politicised, and by being politicised stopped being a functioning free marketplace.
Chinese companies still have the raw drive of making money through doing good business. Often they aren't even publicly traded.
Especially with the companies in the USA taking advantage of their employees. Americans are screwed!!!!!
@WWoggins Also ESG has nothing to actual being sustainable It is about paper work.

They wont, they are have face, they know you are their partner and respected consumer, you give them money and they give their service, with us however, they demand you like they give you order
what would China make any demands when the goose is already laying the golden egg, they have spent so much time and money to fatten the goose until it can lay proper egg and then you expect them to put foot in mouth by killing it? why even bother to conquer or control others when it is too much trouble and costly to do? better to feed and help them and get them to work happily for you. win win, not zero sum.

That’s true, but see what happened with Bolsonaro and Milei. These two people are huge USA supporters, but even they cannot move the needle against China in South America because they need the money. The USA is not giving anything to South America, so they have no way to stop working with China.
The US doesn't understand once BRICS payment system is up and running, the US will be the target of major sabotage and even terrorist which the world may call freedom fighters. Because, the US won't be able to protect themselves being spread so thin and due to the fact that the US can't invade other countries without destroying itself and most importantly won't be able to sanction effectively. Once US no longer have control over world economy look out, the retaliation will be constant.

As frustrating as it seems, the only US business strategy is to kneecap the competition to keep our present investments returning dividends. We're thinking that promoting its development will help the unfriendly countries becoming self sustaining. But why are they unfriendly? In shunning countries from our unlimited funds and technologies we're antagonizing their development and just triggering unavoidable retributions which translate into isolating ourselves. Who in its right mind wants to conduct business with us?... unless threatened in some ways, which is what our sanctions are for. So, we should not be surprised at all when China fills our voids and prosper along with the rest of the world.

Get an education, so that we won't look down on you...
But they collect the profits very soon, as many countries in east Europe, Africa, south Asia and central America lost their sovereignity due to unpaid loans..... They are no charity institution...
And the U.S. government calls it "DEBT TRAP"
I feel and share your frustration. But trying to explain the situation to others is like talking into the void. Very few are willing to listen.
nice
Hi Kevin great channel and reporting. I really enjoy the topics you cover. We are in a ever changing world to bad governments don't keep pace.
It is the lazy culture!!!!!!
Kevin we need you working with the DOGE Team - you get IT -- Thanks again.
Well, now with Trump in place this will get even worse.
China takes on big risk. The profit is small but China is willing to do it. If it helps these countries, it serves the purpose.
What if these guys don't pay? Big risk. In fact, China has been forgiving some loans with some countries.
When these countries do well and have more jobs, there will be fewer illegal immigrants and refugees. Peace, no wars.
If only USA had think and act the same toward their southern neighbors for the past 50+ years, today's border problem would not have existed. Central and Southern America countries could have became manufacturing power houses and huge consumer base decades ago. But no, keeping your neighbor as banana republic and meddling in their affairs are good for big businesses. And the migrant problem is great vote getter year after year.
Theres an ancient American proverb "to cut of you nose inspite of your face"
Actually, "Don't cut off your nose to spite your face."
Very interesting. Thank you for the video

In today’s op ed in the New York Times, Thomas Friedman wrote that, “Today, it is ‘Made in China’, but the future is ‘Design in China’’.” And made globally.
That future is now. China owns most of the scientific papers published and patents since a;most a decade ago. They also lead in 57 out of 64 critical and new technologies.
Love the content it’s always top notch. Your perspective of the world is very good 😊

It's Ms. Susan Jane Christy doing, she's changed my life.
After I raised up to 325k trading with her I bought a new House and a car here in the states 🇺🇸🇺🇸 also paid for my son's surgery (Oscar). Glory to God.shalom.
Absolutely! I've heard stories of people who started with little to no knowledge but made it out victoriously thanks to Ms. Susan Jane Christy.
Can't imagine earning $85,000 biweekly, God bless Ms. Susan Jane Christy, God bless America 🇺🇸♥️
Fantastically educational informative report Kevin thanks as always
And what’s going to happen to the Amazon Jungle ? . Before China goes into South American they should get all The South American countries to have a protective treaty on the Amazon Jungle . Oxygen and nature should be more important than profits.
Yeah. Cut all the trees down in Alabama and Florida, while telling "them" not cut trees, So american.
Brazil has already been de-foresting the Amazon for years to increase agricultural land. This is the purview of the Brazilian government. This increased agricultural land benefits Brazilian exports to China, thereby China can import less and less from the USA. Win win for the BRiCS partners.
Environment Colonialism... To keep others down. @@FredJones-lo2df
You should lobby your politicians to plant more trees then, if you want to breathe clean. It is not the Amazon's responsibility to give you that.
the ocean provides 80% of the worlds oxygen trees only account for 10% of the earths oxygen. where do you think oxygen comes from before there are plants?
US and EU companies tend to push what they have for tier domestic markets without much consideration or local needs and wants. Generally, Asian companies including Chinese tend to be better on market focus.
Thanks for sharing.
It is much easier to manipulate stocks for profit rather than build a port or railway. That is the difference between western financial capitalism versus industrial capitalism.
Most countries in the world prefer trade and prosperity instead of wars. ❤❤❤❤
Very true the rest of the world wants things done so that their people can benefit instead of a certain few. People from other countries should not have to be forced to leave to be called migrants elsewhere in the world for trying to be something in the world because they lack opportunities where they were.
