It is of course China that have been humiliated. They've been hit with the biggest stick and whilst the others got a 90 day lollilop China got another beating. Yet China has to crawl to the negotiation table and smile and play nice to try and retain any of the big slice of cake the US have been giving them previously. Trump exposted China's hubris and showed the world that actually China's success depends on the US. The Chinese know their economy is in deep trouble, and if you read the comments on Chinese social media many are deeply concerned about the effect the tariffs will have on China's economy. It must be a major hit to the inflated Chinese ego to realise that they can easily be hit with a big stick, their cake can be easily taken away, and then they have to go sit at the table and smile to ask for some of the cake back. No wonder the Chinese don't want to admit they're talking to the guy who slapped them about sideways. However, it's clear what is happening, isn't it, Trump sent out his special envoys to talk to Chinese parties, without the actual formal negotiations about the tariffs being in place. That's why the Chinese propaganda machine told its spokesman to say there are no negotiations. Strictly speaking of course that's the case, there are no formal or official negotiations. Yet. There are informal talks about who should negotiate with whom where about what. The Chinese are on record as having demanded that the US put in place negotiators authorised to negotiate a deal, and US officials are on record for saying to NBC they are in talks with Chinese officials. So it is clear as daylight that China and the US are talking, how could it be otherwise. Anyone who claims that's not the case and takes some Chinese spokesman's word at face value has a bit to learn about how the world actually works.

Yes, I can see how Trump is being ignored completely, you never hear about him in the news. Or on Asean. And you certainly didn't start 989 threads about Trump yourself personally about how he's being ignored. Though the last thread you started it was you who was pretty much ignored, wasn't it? But Trump is being ignored. Sure. If you believe China that they're not talking about tariffs with the US, maybe there's a bridge in Brooklyn I could sell you?

Complete nonsense of course. Trump never wanted to impose 145% tariffs for eternity, what he wanted was to renegotiate trade conditions for America. The tariffs have been a spectacular success in achieving this goal. Equally with Powell, the aim was to incentivize Powell to lower interest rates more quickly, it was never on the cards that he would fire Powell, as Bessent advised Trump that this would create more problems. it's really the WSJ that looks foolish making these transparent political claims. It used to be the case that a newspaper would have a clear political position, but we have seen this is no longer case, there are feminists in the Daily MAil now and liberals at the WSJ. It can be confusing, if you don't know this.

Not that I know of, but with liars, who can know anything really. I guess you had a similar experience.

Except they do of course, not only is China forced to talk to the US, since they want to retain their 400 billion USD market share in the American market, they are doing so. In fact they recently asked the US to put together a trade delegation that is authorised to negotiate a deal. As the link above illustrates, officials have confirmed to NBC that the US and China are in talks. Don't believe everything the Chinese tell you publicly, they're not the most honest of people.

I'd say that's fair. Ibiza, Berlin and New York don't have the same quality of nightlife. It's more about drugs and drinks there if you really want to party. In SE Asia partying at night is more organic and old school. But like a K drama that relies on character development rather than special effects like a US series.

Well, we all know the answer to that, but what about the bottom gay question above? I note you did not attempt to answer it.

I absolutely agree, and as you say, it is a long and complicated list of qualities that is particular and very individual, what one person finds important another may not. I was just wondering if there are common threads, qualities that all men seek, and I think there are. The things you mentioned like devotion, ie loyalty, kindness, affectionate nature, caring, fun an humour, I would say these are universal.

Or he's a fantasist who wants to be admired, but has no admirable qualities, so invented imaginary riches. Like you. And you fell for his tales hook line and stinker.

What if it's an affeminate gay man who likes to be penetrated, marries another guy and they adopt. He's a doting parent taking on the mother role, cleaning and cooking. Spends all his time with family. But bottoms in the bedroom. Is he a real man?

What would make a woman worthy of your devotion? Apart from PDAs I mean.

Having a penis is a pre-requisite. Putting on a fedora and a suit is not gonna cut it.

Me too also only pleasant experiences with police. Nothing sexual obviously.

He's richer than you!!! Considerably richer than yow!!!

I'm a Baht trillionaire and own 3 chateaux, one in France, one in Spain and one in Italy. Now excuse me while I pen an intellectual master piece on this Asean thread that I run in my spare time whilst I don't have to attend to my business empire. Hahahahahahaha

You missed out on a work of great intellect. Or so he says...I blacked out after the first 2 hours.

Judging by your market analysis I'd say you didn't make much money trading, that's for sure.

Hahahahaha, sure you are. Yes, I remember you were also pretending you owned a castle in Spain. So you don't just have delusions about your intellect but about your net worth too. You must have a very small penis and a very unsatisfied wife.

Like I said, I didn't read all of it, only a few sentences before I blacked out, but before I did, all I saw was the ranting and raving opinions about the market that were mostly wrong. But sure, great intellect. Knock yourself out.

Incel boy? That's hardly the right tone for a market oracle that can predict the Dow jones for 25 years, now is it?

You think that thing is filled with intellect? Says who? You?

It's true, 3 girls have! One Filipina and two Thais! Like I said, you can verify it for yourself. Interested?

You can sell ants for 7700 USD? I'M RICH!!!!

Good, I thought it was just me. Clearly not.

If, but, none has complained whatsoever, some have complained about the size being too big though. I'm giving you a once in a lifetime chance to verify this. Use it wisely. Don't play hard-to-get too long. I don't have much patience. Too many options.
