Update on FOD.
Decided to act relatively swiftly and close this for a small loss.
REASON> I firmly believe the fundamental story has changed now that the mask of ideological decency has come off the CCP.
Unfortunately the 'China Story' as a growth driver for Australia is DEAD.
Irretrievable. Kaput!
Save for the few things China EXISTENTIALLY NEEDS of ours' :
Ie. our best in class Pilbara Iron Ore and Coal...
It's sadly ALL OVER.
Wheat, Barley, Beef, Wine, Seafood, Wool, Tertiary Education, Tourism all collateral damage of the Trade Wars, the worsening 'China vs. The World situation ' and the looming Cold War with the West which I rate has a >50% of becoming HOT over the ridiculous Sth China Sea claims of the CCP within the next 10 years.
None of this had to happen but it's seems [[[the International Socialists of Old]]] that control and fund the Chinese Communist Party just dont seem to learn.
Stuck in a by-gone era of "Right= Might" the fools at the CCP and their [[[Paymasters]]] are in for the beating of their Life.
All of Asia and West is united on the China issue now after their COVID Clown Act. Russia, their ONLY [superficial] ally doesn't give a toss for the Chinese and WILL jump ship & side with us when the shit hits the fan. Putin is an extremely intelligent Man and the greatest Statesman of our time in the truest sense of the word. The Man is not prone to foolish mistakes.
There is NO WAY in the World this winner [Putin], will back the 'Losing Team' in Beijing for some albeit, sizeable trade deals ie $400 Bn/10 years, gas pipeline deal.
He would full well see the benefit in ridding the Planet of this unpredictable, unfriendly and duplicitous Regime and more to the point of delivering a mortal blow to the faltering One World Government Plans of the International Socialist Overlords of which the Chinese dominance is an integral part.
My bet is Vladimir Vladimirovich will sleep even more soundly knowing a suitable replacement means a better, more reliable Trade partner, a better Global Citizen and a better System for the Chinese people within which to live. All elements of the Master Statesman's Worldview.
The 1.2 Bn +consumer demand will still be there, just with a far more palatable and co-operative leadership.
I'm up for the fight. Are you? It's coming make no mistake.
"Little Boys should NOT play with fire...in this case Little Men [with tiny,tiny penises] are in for the Cock fight of their worst, bloodiest nightmares.
Never be afraid or hesitate to ditch a position when the Fundamental outlook changes, even at a loss. Preserve Capital, move on to greener pastures and reload.
Always consider the Big Picture as paramount.
