STRATEGIC ALERT Service

Coming off of his summit meeting with President Trump (cf. above), Chinese President Xi Jinping continued his diplomatic offensive during and on the sidelines of the APEC meeting in Gyeongju, on Oct. 31-Nov. 1. The Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation forum comprises 21 member countries in the Pacific Rim, plus ASEAN as an observer. At this year’s meeting, Xi Jinping was the […]

Here we go again. On Oct. 31, the Federal Reserve and the US Treasury injected an emergency 50 billion dollars into the interbanking “repo” market, as the one-quarter rate cuts earlier in the week were not enough to prevent a serious liquidity crisis. This is like a replay of the Sept. 17, 2019 action that launched so-called Quantitative Easing. At […]

German Foreign Minister Johann Wadepuhl’s abrupt decision to cancel his first visit to China planned for one week ago is just the latest example of the present government’s disinterest in pursuing what is usually known as “diplomacy”. Indeed, during a visit to Japan several weeks earlier, he had publicly denounced Beijing’s “increasing aggressiveness”, announcing measures to contain China. In the […]

Hours before his meeting on Oct. 30 with China’s President Xi Jinping, U.S. President Trump delivered a bit of a shock when he announced that the U.S. would begin testing its nuclear weapons. In explaining his decision, he said it is necessary to do so in order to keep up with other nuclear powers. “That process will begin immediately….I have […]

The size and components of the U.S. military force being assembled in the southern Caribbean Sea belie the White House denials that the administration has drawn up a list of targets for possible strikes on Venezuelan territory, ports and airports included. The Miami Herald’s sources reported that the Trump administration “has made the decision to attack military installations, and the […]

On Oct. 25, U.S. President Trump began his Asian trip, to an Asia which is in the midst of a profound transformation. The American leader began his visit in Malaysia to attend the U.S.-ASEAN summit, where he had a meeting with Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim, who is committed to developing trade relations with China and to strengthening the BRICS, which […]

The EIR news service in Washington (Executive Intelligence Review) sponsored an extraordinary two-hour roundtable discussion on Oct. 22, titled “The Bering Strait Tunnel Project Can Open a New Era of Peace Through Development,” with experts on engineering, rail development, finance, and diplomacy from the United States, Russia, Italy, and Germany. Over the past two weeks, the proposal for a tunnel across […]

What is left of the German auto industry after the “creative destruction” wreaked by the Green Deal, is being demolished by China’s ban on microchip exports. That ban was in retaliation for a decision made by the Dutch government Sept. 30, but only made known by third parties on Oct. 12, to take over the governance of chip producer Nexperia, […]

Under the pretext of countering “Russian war propaganda” on the one hand, and stopping “the increase of anti-semitism” on the other, German security agencies backed by the media have increasingly resorted to repressive measures in recent weeks against opponents of the government’s current policies. A system of anonymous denunciations and fake news has been set up to silence and prosecute […]
